Mike Eaves Talked Quotations

We briefly talked about the fact that it happened. We said let's be intelligent about it and learn a lesson here, and let's play the game we want to play.

We've tried to apply that lesson all year. It's a very profound game for these young men because we've talked about it all year and we've talked about it as a group. It's the application of the lesson that becomes the important part.

You keep your routine. You talk about the things you've talked about all year and you go out and play. I think sometimes when you try to hype it and you get excited and you're all wired, they're going to pick up on that, and that doesn't help them play the game they're capable of playing.

The whole weekend was an opportunity of growth for us as a team. We took that opportunity by winning two games here at home against a quality team. We talked about before the game that it was an opportunity for us to grow and forge ourselves into the type of team we want to have at the end of the year, when we can do some things.

The thing that came out of that game, what guys talked about, (was) the way Michigan came out and dictated. They were a senior-laden team and they came out and they dictated the game in that first period.

The guys talked about how Michigan came out and dictated. That's one thing this group wanted to do, to implement that part of the game, and they did a pretty fine job.
