It was one of those losses, |
It's always a compliment, |
It's like the Michigan game last year, |
It's not necessarily revenge. But it's in the back of your mind. |
Last year was a dogfight, ... A.J. had a big pick at the end. It was a tough, physical Big Ten game right down to the wire, and should be this year too. |

Looking at what Notre Dame does, I think they have the complete package. They have everything: They have the run game, they have the offensive line, they have the tight ends, and if you're not doing your assignment on one, they're going to beat you. |
Oh yeah. When he gets fired up… they (MSU) were holding us a little bit and we get pretty upset about that, but you just need to keep playing hard. And that's the thing: everyone on defense is playing hard and A.J. is no exception. He plays hard every play. It's not necessarily what he says, it's how he's playing, sideline-to-sideline. Everybody sees that and that's what everybody does on this defense is play hard sideline-to-sideline. |
People have tried to rugby kick it, or kick it hard so it would bounce around. The best thing for us is when they kick it out of bounds and we get good field position. |
That first play was a shock but we just kind of said, 'OK, let's play.' It's that old saying that the next play is the most important one. We really took them out of their game plan. |
That sign is up there every week. Every week it's the same thing. If you affect the quarterback they can't throw the deep ball. |
That's why it's football and you have to play with your eyes. All that window dressing, they're still going to run the same basic stuff. They can run it out of different things, but you just have to play with your eyes. |
The thing with Texas is they have so many weapons, but I really think the speed of our defense will help us. |
They throw so much at you, a lot like San Diego State did against us. You don't know what they're doing. |
This goes to show how many people support and love the Buckeyes. You can't find this somewhere else. |
