Michigan Junior/Sophomore OL Stephen Schilling Quotes
On the anticipation for Saturday's game against Utah... "I'm excited. We have been here eight or nine months for work outs, and I can't wait to finally put it to the field and see what we can really do."
On his expectations against Utah... "Coach Rodriguez always says that we don't want to expect to win, but we want to deserve to win. With all of the offseason work we have done all year, we have put in all the work so that we can deserve to win. We did all the work, and on Saturday we'll have to put in the work to win."
On adapting to changes on offense... "It is new now with a new coach and new offense, but we are confident that we worked hard all year and that we'll be able to play well this season."
On the unity of the team... "The chemistry has become a lot stronger from last year to this year. We are bringing in new guys and playing with new guys, and it takes time to get used to playing next to them. Outside of football, we have developed good relationships, and I think it translates to the field."
On contributions from young players... "All of the freshmen came in with the mindset that they were going to work hard and that they were going to play. They knew there were a lot of opportunities and they worked hard over the summer."
