best definitely football ohio saw seen similar since team
They're not at all similar to the team we saw (in 2004). They're definitely the best football team we've seen since Ohio State.
best biggest bring caliber defense difference disrespect face faster florida four front maybe ohio outside seen since state ten
The Florida defense, the biggest difference I see between them and a Big Ten defense is they are a lot more aggressive. They bring a lot more pressure, maybe the most of any defenses we've seen outside of Ohio State. I would say they are faster than most defenses we face in the Big Ten. ... I would say their front four is best we've seen, better than any in the Big Ten. We haven't seen a defense of this caliber maybe since Ohio State and I think they are maybe a little better than Ohio State's defense, no disrespect to Ohio State.
fake hit ready shocked
We were ready to roll. They hit you with that fake punt and everyone was shocked on our sideline.
avoid clint embraced football gone guys help mistakes says younger
I think Clint will be the first one to tell you, he's embraced the mistakes he's made and has gone out of his way to help younger guys avoid those pitfalls. I think that says more about him than anything he'll ever do on the football field.
certainly chance deserve fight happy ourselves
I think we were happy we were able to fight and at least give ourselves a chance at the end. Because we certainly didn't deserve to be there.
block both players programs sides time tough
I think any time you have both programs having a lot of success, there's going to be a lot of attention. It's going to be tough for players on both sides to block out all that attention.
ecstatic fortunate given guys happy impacts season stuff
That stuff impacts the way guys play. I know this, we're ecstatic to be here. But, I'd think we would be happy with any bowl. Given how our season went, we're fortunate to be anywhere.

I fell asleep in the second quarter. Fortunately, I caught some highlights later. It didn't look like Michigan wanted to be there.

Hands down. He's done more for college football than anybody around today. He's like your uncle at Thanksgiving that everybody likes.
days expect feels game good lines offensive pictures shoulders team
We don't get the headlines, we don't expect to see our pictures in the paper, that's not why we play. We play for days like (Saturday) where you really feel like the team put the game on your shoulders and it feels good to deliver. I've been part of offensive lines that didn't deliver. That doesn't feel very good.
almost impossible mistakes team
When a team capitalizes on your mistakes, that makes it almost impossible to come back.
progress ways
We still have a ways to go. I think we're making progress, but it's early.
far team
I know we're a team that could be better than we are right now. I think that's the most important thing. As far as what we know right now, that's what we know -- we know we can improve, and we also know we need to improve.
certainly good odds played tough
They certainly never played the odds or did what would be conventional. When you make good on those risks, you're tough to beat.
