From today's presser:
COACH TRESSEL: "I'm not surprised he's taken the ball and run with it because the way he prepares and he's a talented kid. And, yes, we did need to see it.
I think sometimes when you're knighted before you're deserving it works against you. I think Todd, not unlike the quarterback at Wisconsin, had to go and earn and emerge as the guy. I think that's most respected by your teammates. Sometimes the old axiom, some guys have to prove they can't, some guys have to prove they can, I think you gain the greatest amount of confidence from your teammates when you're one of the guys that has to prove he can."
Nice dig at Ntre Ame and Claussen, and an incredibly funny one at that.
