During the press conference, reporters asked Ferentz about quarterback Joe Labas. “I’m not sure we've ever gone into a game where our one and twos are gone, not in the roster,” Ferentz said. “Fortunately we had an extended period here. I think the last two weeks Joe has really done a lot of good things. Seems like he's more comfortable. All that being said, it's going to be his first play in college football…. He's a competitor, he's tough. I'm sure he's going to do a great job for us.”
