Following Tuesday’s press conference, GopherHole.com’s Luke Gildemeister had a few minutes to chat with redshirt junior defensive lineman Scott Ekpe. Here is what he had to say:
Q: How does the previous solid defensive play give your team confidence going into the last two non-conference games?
A: “We prepared the moment the [2014] Citrus Bowl ended. The defense has been on their game. We’ve been teaching the freshmen the playbook, so we’ve prepared for this. The last two games have been good, but obviously they could be better. We just need to progress each and every week.
