Hazell's Presser- Pre-Wisconsin Edition

Opening statement from Hazell

As we look at our film from Sunday against the Gophers, as a staff, you take a close look at a lot of different things, but I think through the fundamental things that you have to do in football to be successful is you gotta finish blocks up front, offensively and across the board, not just up front but across the board offensively, and you've got to tackle, and those are the two fundamental things anywhere you play football that you have to be able to.

Those are the things that we must improve on I thought we tackled pretty well the first half, but the third quarter we missed some very key tackles in the first two drives that allowed, you know, 14 points coming out of the locker room and, you know, right now we're just not good enough to overcome those big deficits, but our kids came back today and worked hard this afternoon -- excuse me, this morning, we switched practice around, getting ready for the Badgers.
