Below is a partial transcription of a Zoom press conference with Indiana quarterback Jack Tuttle on Wednesday, Dec. 30.
QB Jack Tuttle
On Ty Fryfogle…
TUTTLE: He is great and makes my life a whole lot easier. He is a special player. I am really looking forward to making some plays with him this game and having some fun.
Q. On having a month off after his first start…
TUTTLE: That Wisconsin game helped me improve so much and I gained so much confidence. It is not about this being my first start or getting my feet wet, it is just about playing football now. It is about improving from that game and prepping for Ole Miss. We just get to go play football.
Q. On benefits of getting some time off…
TUTTLE: These last couple of weeks have been great for us in terms of getting on the field and getting everyone reps. I can say that we are itching to play. We have been prepping for a while and we are ready to play. The guys are definitely ready to go.
Q. On what the Outback Bowl means to the team…
TUTTLE: Winning a bowl game would be super important for us. I feel like, for most of us, we wanted to play for Indiana. We want to win this bowl game and finish the season off strong.
Q. On learning from last season's Gator Bowl…
TUTTLE: It was definitely a motivating factor. It has pushed us to get better and grow. We are really looking at this bowl opportunity as a chance to go win for Indiana. It has been 29 years since we last won a bowl game. We are fighting and doing everything that we can to be in the best possible situation for Saturday to get the win.
