"It is nice. The bye week definitely helped us get a little more healthy and get our body back. It just feels good to get back into our routine."
On Middle Tennessee's defensive strengths:
"Their scheme is different. I would say it is exotic. You don't see anything like it. I feel like that is what makes them a really great team. We have to prepare differently for them."

""Once you commit yourself, no matter what the barrier is, you're going to find a way to get over it," Guerrier said. "And that's one thing he (Howard Schnellenberger) always instilled in us: work until you'll be able to prepare yourself to endure whatever it is you need to endure."
