They controlled the line of scrimmage up front. Usually when you're able to do that, you're able to win the football game. It was difficult to run the football. |

They look like a team that can play with just about anybody. |
They remind me of our Ohio State defense in 2002. Teams are not going to score on them. They don't give up big plays. They pressure the ball and force turnovers. |
They'll have that roar. It gets loud. There will be times when you can't hear. We need to be able to play under those conditions. They're going to have to experience it. We'll put music on (during practice) and play it loud so they can't hear each other, but it's still different. |
They've got an exciting quarterback who can take a bad play and make it a good one. He's special. And they've got a tailback that's elusive. |
This will be their first game in this type of environment. I'm sure they'll be a little wide-eyed, but hopefully we've learned our lesson in terms of young players and how they prepare. |
Tight end is a strength of this team and should be throughout this year, next year and the year after. |
Today will give us a good opportunity to continue evaluating where we are and how we need to get better. |
Tony plays so hard and he is so smart. He is a winner who makes plays and has made himself a starter this spring. |
We actually don't feel any pressure. I mean, we see what they are going through, but it hasn't changed our mindset. We have to be successful for us, period. Other programs' success or failure does not add to the pressure we put on ourselves. |
We are excited about getting a player like Lance to join our program. He went back and forth on which sport to play, but decided on football after the signing date and we are pleased that he will be in the fold this coming season. I really like what I see in him and so do all of our coaches. |
We are pretty banged up in some areas on our team, but our attitude was outstanding this spring, and we look forward to the 2006 season. |
We came in at halftime and we thought we were going to win the game. |
We couldn't put him out there vs. their wide receivers limping. He tried to go, but he just could not go. He will be back. |
