I think this team understands what the Big Ten conference is all about. It's pretty tough to say we're going to win a Big Ten title with Michigan returning but we expect to be in the thick of it.
Every game is equal in rate to each other. If you lose to Kent State or Carolina, you negate that you beat California. A good win followed by a bad loss negates the good win.
I'm more concerned with how we perform as opposed to outcome. If we get out of the gate and are doing things well and we end up losing some of those games, that's okay because that's what you build on. If you come out sloppy and win a game, that's going to come back to hurt you.
It's pretty tough to say we're going to go out and win the Big Ten title with Michigan returning. But our aspirations are to battle for a Big Ten title.
They deserved actually to win that game. But we came up with something they couldn't come up with, so we won it.
That's something for you guys to keep track of, not me. If you didn't tell me that, I wouldn't even know it. I'm just trying to win games every time we step on the field.
