per Sid:
“We need our best players to play their best football from the middle of October to late November, that span,” Fleck said. “It is good to see our team starting to play better football. That’s what you want to see, you want to see that team develop.”
Fleck said if you want to pinpoint one part of the team that is really coming together, look no further than the offensive line. That unit doesn’t have a single senior starting, but they are putting together one of the best rushing campaigns in school history.
“They’re getting better. They’re starting to play better together as a unit,” Fleck said. “… But we need to be able to continue to rotate lineman in. I think [redshirt sophomore] John Michael Schmitz at center gives us an element of toughness to that offensive line. [Redshirt freshman right guard] Curtis Dunlap Jr., I thought he played his best game yet, just how tough he was finishing blocks, how into the game he was and working on the small details.
“I could say the same thing about everybody, from Blaise [Andries, a redshirt sophomore] moving over to right tackle and doing what he did, [redshirt junior left tackle] Sam Schlueter has been Mr. Consistent and then you look at left guard, [redshirt junior] Conner Olson had one of his better days as well.”
