Kansas defensive coordinator Carl Torbush hoping for better players: "You always try to make sure that every guy you recruit is better than the guy you play with," Torbush said. "That doesn?t always happen, but ideally, in a perfect world, that's what you'd do. Just like when you're buying a car. It may not be the best car, but normally it?s gonna be a bigger car, a more luxury car. We gotta continue to recruit and recruit our needs and what we need. Ya?ll see the same thing, that we gotta be able to get more pressure on the quarterback. You normally do that by speed and athleticism. I think our guys are doing an adequate job. It's not a detriment to what we're playing with, because you?re always playing with good players. What you want to do is recruit a guy who?s better than who you're playing with. That?s the only way to get better as a football team."
Nevada defensive coordinator Andy Buh pumped about challenge of slowing down Hawaii passing attack: "Heck yeah. Heck yeah.

"We had the opportunity to play the No. 1 team in the nation and kind of let it get by, so our guys are looking forward to playing the only other undefeated team in the Big Ten. Our guys enjoy going into these hostile environments.?

Turner Gill wants knockdowns: ?The times we?ve been successful offensively, and even defensively, we definitely have had a lot of knockdowns, we?ve had that 80-plus. It all depends on how many plays you have, so I think 80 is a pretty good number. We?d like to get into the 100s.?
