GREG SCHIANO: Thanks for coming out. Big home game this week. Open up Big Ten play. So try to answer anything I can.
Q. Any update on Gavin?
GREG SCHIANO: Yeah, Gavin will be a game-time decision. We’ll know as the week goes on.
Q. Iowa defense, what stands out?
GREG SCHIANO: Very fundamentally sound. They know exactly what they want to do. Very physical. Typical Iowa defense.
Q. You guys are at 19 consecutive home losses in Big Ten play. Up there as one of the longest streaks. You said at the end of last year that you would take a look at the discrepancy between home and away in Big Ten play. In the offseason were you able to find one thing that’s been a struggle for you guys at home in Big Ten play?

Q. What were some of the things you saw offensively that you would like to fix?
GREG SCHIANO: There are several. You know, I think some things happened that were part of it was technical. Part of it was schematic. And when I say “technical,” I mean technique. And part of it was cultural. So throw all three things together, and you had kind of a perfect storm. But we are moving. We are learning from it and we are moving forward and we need to because we have an opponent with as stout a defense as there in the country.
Q. You passed Frank Burns for the record, but the first couple years when you were building, how tough was it to win with everything going on and what you walked into? Is there anything you can say about that time?
GREG SCHIANO: That was a tough stretch. The good thing, when you’re young, you don’t know what you don’t know. Because if I knew what I…
