Junior Hemingway: “No I’m not amazed at all. We put in the work in the summer, we put in the work 24/7, every day.”

Does that exceed NCAA regulations?

...quote IME:

Question: It’s funny that everybody loves Denard (Robinson) nationally, but they will talk about the three best teams in the Big Ten and (not talk about Michigan). Do you think finally they are going to say, uh oh, Michigan is 5-0?

Junior Hemingway: “I don’t think so. There is a lot of people out there that are still waiting for us to fall off. Waiting to see when it is going to break down. We don’t even pay any attention. We just keep moving on. That’s what we do. We don’t even think about it. We come out every Saturday and play.”

Love the attitude.  RichRod and the coaches are filling their heads with the right thoughts.  Great interview.

In my opinion, this is the best way to think about a season. Everyone definitely is waiting to see a loss, especially after the past two difficult years. So you just go out there one weekend at a time and prove them wrong each week. Fly under the radar as a team (Denard isn't but the team still is) and just win.

RR talking about the offense:

 

"Denard looked like he had pretty good numbers again, but we'll look back and it will be 'golly, we had two or three other touchdowns we left on the field.'"

 

That gives me chills!

I was really impressed with how well he played yesterday. On TV the announcers made a big deal about how great the throw was Denard made (which was actually way underthrown due to the man in his face). Hemingway made a huge catch and went and got that ball. I was impressed. Without that play who knows how that game owuld have finished. I didn't think he got enough credit for a great play.

As a whole I think our receivers don't get enough credit. Maybe it's because we play a run heavy spread and shred but Stonum, Odoms, Roundtree and Hemingway are all very good wideouts. I can't think of another offense that has this many good receivers.Yes, Indiana has some good receivers, Doss particularly but I wouldn't trade ours for theirs. Plus when you add Koger into the mix it's ridiculous the talent we have. The best part about all of this is everyone of those players should be back next year too! Look out!

our WR do all the little things well, blocking, selling fakes, getting open on broken plays. Just imagine what this offense can do when everyone is executing right on every play. Sure there will always be errors, but the coaches and players keep saying there is still room for improvement. Opposing defenses should be scared.

WRs seem to all take turns contributing with catches, and how very good of blockers they are all becoming. Best thing is, we get all 4 of them back with a bunch of others filling out depth and lots of freshman. I feel good about this WR corp.

I know Junior's not prototype in terms of height, but he has an inch or two and 25+ pounds on any other receiver.  That ability to outmaneuver a DB in a jump ball situation is a great outside receiver skill. 

Not that others couldn't do it on occasion, it's just harder due to their size.  If we ever get some legit SIZED outside receivers (hello, Mr Conway, please keep eating now....) I'll think we see more of this on deeper routes.  That is why I think Brian said he'd straight up trade WRs with Indiana.
