The things I remember more about Chuck as a player were the leadership qualities he had. He was a very strong leader of our football team, and a very tough player. People on the outside may not appreciate it as much, but you see a guy who's having a hard time walking certain weeks, and then he'd go out and play. And that was a big part of the reason we were so successful during that period.
More Quotes from Kirk Ferentz:
Where we're at right now, we need to play a game, ... I'm not quite sure right now what we're good at. We've looked really good at times doing certain things and the next day we don't do so good doing that. It's really been pretty much inconsistent.Kirk Ferentz
They looked like a legitimate top 10 team today. I don't see a lot of weaknesses on their football team.

It starts with protection, route running, I mean, you name it, throwing the football. But we have certainly not looked like a cohesive, smooth running group when we're throwing the football. We have at times, but not consistently.

It's an early season loss. We didn't deserve to win. Iowa State did the things necessary to be victorious and we didn't. We have to move on and we have to move on fast.

I thought we were better (offensively this week). I'd preface that, or maybe (put an) asterisk (by it and say) it would be hard not to be better. We at least looked a little more like a cohesive offensive football team.

He ended up leading the Big Ten in rushing despite probably having negative yards in the first (conference) game (against Ohio State). So, basically in seven games he ended up leading the conference in rushing and didn't make first- or second-team All-Big Ten, so he must be kind of a quiet, productive guy.
