It was very surreal. I found out from my then-girlfriend, who's now my wife [Zoe], that we were moving. I was like, 'We're not moving.' So I didn't believe it at first. |
It wasn't a beautiful win, but it wasn't an ugly win. We're having trouble offensively with our youth, and because of that, we have to play great defense. Today we did. |
It wasn't as tough as people make it out to be, ... I was at peace about it after 11 years. I was able to play for a long time and experience a lot of different things. |
It wasn't drawn up the way it went. We were just going to try to make a drive and try to feed it to someone in the post. Worse case scenario, we were going to go to OT. |
It wasn't getting any better. From one game to the next, it was gradually getting worse. The doctors said there was nothing to be gained by waiting to have the surgery. |
It wasn't inconvenience that was restricting how much they consumed those six feet away. It was that it gave them a chance to ask themselves if they were really hungry. |
It wasn't just my ankle. I mean, my entire leg was lacking strength. Coming off surgery, I didn't get a chance to build those muscles up. So I was basically on one leg. |
It wasn't just one person. Everyone stepped up. We had a meeting on Friday and I told them that everyone needs to step up. We have to have a championship effort to win. |
It wasn't just the winning but the fact we believed and never gave up. We were down all game but it was just so good to see confidence. And we were able to pull it off. |

It wasn't necessarily my biggest reason, but for a school like Ohio State to want me as a tight end says a lot. They want me to put on a little weight but not too much. |
It wasn't really a chip (on my shoulder), just focus. I wanted to get my first win. They brought me here not to win 49 (regular-season) games, but to win playoff games. |
It wasn't the start we wanted. I've always felt like the team that plays Thursday has an advantage in the Friday game, but we weathered that and found a way to move on. |
It will be a consideration, of course, ... But with two weeks to go (before the final cut) there's things that could happen. If it was today we'd have to do that, yeah. |
It will be a sounding board for a lot of officials to make speeches but I'm not convinced that we're going to see a lot of direction for the market from those meetings. |
