Here's what Randy Edsall had to say in his Sunday teleconference:

• No word on the injuries; Edsall offered a no comment when asked. We'll get a report on Monday for those undergoing surgery and on Thursday for the status update for the South Florida game. Mike Ryan, Twyon Martin and Scott Lutrus are some of the guys to keep an eye on.
• Kevin Friend went into the lineup to replace Mike Ryan at tackle when Ryan went down with an injury. Jimmy Bennett is over his injury, Friend is just the third best tackle right now, Edsall said. That's why he went in and the flip was made at tackle.
• Edsall was happy the Huskies made a big improvement on third-down conversions, going 9-for-16. "I was happy about that," Edsall said. "I even had pie and ice cream last night to celebrate."
• Edsall said the forecast for Tampa will be a high of 76, which he equates to being in the mid-60s by kickoff. So he won't be turning up the heat too much in the Shenkman Center.
