Senior outside linebacker Vince Biegel on his talk with inside linebacker Jack Cichy after Cichy learned he would miss the rest of the season with a pectoral injury:
"I was able to talk to him yesterday ... and let him know that we're still going to need his presence on the sideline this year. Jack serves a vital role. He brings energy to our defense, and we're still going to need him to be that person if we're going to get to where we want to (be) at the end of the season."
