Below are five takeaways from today's press conference with Mickey Joseph, Marques Buford Jr., Ethan Piper and Travis Vokolek. But the two biggest things I noticed:
1: There was optimism that Casey Thompson would play against Minnesota. But even though more time will have passed for his injury to heal, it's apparent that the optimism is not as high this week. And Logan Smothers is not a shoo-in to start against Michigan.
2: Caleb Tannor made some glaring comments after the Minnesota loss about the defense's second-half effort and that they got "too comfortable." But Marques Buford Jr. on Tuesday pushed back against Tannor's comments about the defensive effort and energy.
