per Sid:
When asked about the chance to continue an undefeated season, Fleck said he has told the players they can’t be focused on their previous victories.
“We look at ourselves as 0-0. We’re going to play a one-game season,” Fleck said. “We consider it a championship season against Illinois, at home, at TCF Bank Stadium for homecoming. That is our only focus.”
Fleck is excited that quarterback Tanner Morgan — who won the Big Ten offensive player of the week award after completing 21 of 22 passes (95%) for 396 yards and four touchdowns in a 38-31 victory over Purdue last Saturday — is still looking to improve.
“The completion percentage was the greatest performance in the history of our conference,” Fleck said. “I would say that’s really good. But the first thing he says coming off the field is, ‘I have to be better.’ That’s the type of young man he is. He feels like that game being that close, he has to find a way to make sure it’s not that close. He’s constantly self-evaluating, which is a true sign of a winner.”
