On his performance so far this season:
BR: "It's been all right. It has had its ups and downs, but most seasons do. I wish it could be a little better. I have lost to some guys that I shouldn't have."
On the Michigan State win:
BR: "I thought we did really good. We won all the matches that were toss-ups. We all came together and pulled it out. It felt real good."
On the Illinois loss:
BR: "Pretty much the opposite feeling of the Michigan State dual. We lost a lot of close matches. We didn't pull out one of them. Illinois just got the momentum."
On his mindset before a match:
BR: "I try to relax. Some people get all psyched up and I just try to settle down. I try to focus on my opponent and what I need to do. "
On Pat DeGain
BR: "He's done a great job. I feel bad because he has gotten so close to becoming an All-American a couple of times. He got hurt one year and came up one match short at nationals, so he has had a run of bad luck. The team and myself are pulling for him to become an All-American. I know he can. He's been really successful. He's helped me on and off the mat."
