Rough quotes and notes from Cole Fisher, who was running a little late, so they had to cut it short.
Opening Statement
From what we've seen on film so far, they have a really good squad. Their offense is really clicking recently. A lot of Power-O stuff and a very dangerous offense.
Q: I wanted to ask about the 2013 game. How similar is MSU's offense now compared to then?
FISHER: That was a while ago. It's not a ton different. I didn't have a lot of reps then. When you're a younger guy, you maybe drift a little bit in meetings. They ran a lot of power back then and a lot of power today.
Q: What do you see from Connor Cook? What makes him so successful?
FISHER: When you've been around as long as he has, you really know the offense in and out. He makes a lot of big throws and can really hurt you with his feet too. He's playing extremely well.
Q: You are kind of the picture of patience at Iowa. I wonder if you feel like that characteristic is strong in the program from the top down?
FISHER: Yeah, you could say that. The people we have around here, we trust them 100% and the state and the university does as well.
