It sounds like right now they're committed to Troy Smith but it wouldn't shock me to see both in a game. That's a luxury you have when you have two guys like that. |
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 takes a lot of courage and confidence in your defense to make that call and most importantly, they executed. It looked initially like we had them stopped, but it was a great individual effort. He refused to go down, and it was a huge play in the game. |

It was a strange feeling on the sideline. It was a strange deal. You mix in a couple three-and-outs and that really made it unusual or weird. It was one of those days. |
It was a thorough beating for us. |
It was pretty clear after the game that they probably didn't take the game as seriously as they would have in retrospect. I think that happens sometimes, it probably happens when we're involved more than others because we're not the sexiest-looking outfit on film. |
It was pretty much a one-sided ballgame both ways. Whatever concerns they may have had offensively, they took care of those (Saturday). |

It'd probably be hard to find a college game with better linebackers on the field at one time. It ought to be exciting. Tough on the offenses - but it should really be exciting for the fans to watch. |
It's a little bit of a new experience for us as coaches, because we haven't had this same group, minus the freshmen, since last camp [last fall]. |
It's amazing when you go through their two-deep how many fourth- and fifth-year guys are there, and the offensive line is the focal point of that. They're not just older, they're experienced and good football players that are aggressive and tough. It will be a challenge for us up front (on defense). |
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. |
It's going to be a battle of the inexperienced groups. We're going to be young up front, no doubt about that. But there is a lot of pride in that group. They don't want to be the reason we don't do well this year. |
It's hard to gang up one, ... when there are two that are pretty good. |
