JORDAN SCHULTZ ON HIS TEAM

What Maize does well: “The guys are real close. We all flow together pretty easily. We’ve played football together for quite awhile.”

What has to improve: “Moving the ball on offense. We struggled with that a little bit last year. But we got it figured out over the summer, so I think that will be a little bit better.”
