We're going to plan that the starter is going to be there and those types of things. I would say, though, that in today's day and age with concussions and things like that, when you know a guy is in a concussion proto- col and he's been in it a couple times this year, I think that's challenging. I think we had better be prepared for not only the starter, like we always do, but also the backup. At the end of the day, with them, I don't know how much it will factor in because I think it will start with the run game. It's going to go with the run game through the second and third quarter, and it's going to be the run game in the fourth quarter. It starts and ends with the run game for them, and then obviously they are going to complement it with play-action passes. So we've got to be prepared for those things, but I don't really see the style of the game changing based on the quarterback that they have in there. We saw Tommy Stevens get into the Michigan game to provide a spark. Do you think there's an opportunity for him to get in a series or two at quarter- back over this final stretch? Yeah, we'll probably continue ap- proaching it the way we have with being able to mix him in on some of the pack- ages that we've used him with either two quarterbacks or have him in for a receiver or tight end or a running back. We'll probably continue to approach it that way, which is a way to get him some experience, but also, to allow Trace to get in a rhythm and for our offense to get in a rhythm, which is important. That's the thing we haven't done a great job of the last couple weeks. We've got to be better on first and second down. Last year, you had four pass-catchers with 50-plus receptions. This year, no one is to 30 yet. We saw K.J. Hamler get fired up on the sideline at Michigan. Are there frustrations building up with those guys individually? They are frustrated with us not having the team success last Saturday. That's kind of where our guys are at. Our guys want the team to be successful. They want to contribute toward that success. But you know, I think that's really kind of been the approach and how those guys have handled it.
