Full quote at MAC media day in regards to win over Notre Dame:

“That win shows what we can do. In this day and age people are talking about how much they can pay their players, that’s not what this is about. It’s about how much you can build a connected group of men to go out there, compete, work hard and buy in to one another.”

“We showed what can happen, because we certainly don’t have the budget that Notre Dame had, I can tell you that for a fact! But we went in there and played toe to toe with those guys and it wasn’t a fluke and that’s the thing, people need to go back and watch the game. We beat them physically and that’s why we won the game. We got players with heart.”
