11:52 a.m. Rich Rodriguez, on what Brandon Minor brings to the offense:

"We're different when Brandon is in there," Rodriguez said. "He just brings that hard-edge attitude, and I love the passion he plays with. ... We're different when he's in there because of his physical presence. We think he's one of the most physical runners in the country."

Sometimes you're amazing and get lucky, and sometimes you're so bad you want to jump off a cliff. That was one of those jump-off-the-cliff games for me." _________

11:28 a.m. More thoughts from Rodriguez on Tate Forcier and his injury: "We made a few mistakes, as freshmen will make," he said.

Those concussions are day to day, and I don't think it was a severe one."

Rodriguez said Forcier would probably need to practice by Wednesday this week to see action against Delaware State this weekend. _________

11:23 a.m. Rich Rodriguez on the quarterbacks and his decision at the end of the Iowa game:

"Denard was going in the game. I’ll be patient here. What we did in the game is what we did in the game, and that’s what happened. He did a nice job on that first drive, and then on the second, he didn’t and they won. Tate made some decisions and some that I thinkm he’d like to have back." _________
