ball coming complete goal job last opposed protecting
I think I've done a better job of protecting the ball, as opposed to last year. That's pretty much what the No. 1 goal was coming into the year, protect the ball and then complete passes.
complete control leaving left offered time wants whatever
If he was leaving he would have left a long time ago. They offered him, I'm sure, complete control a long time ago. Why would he want to leave? He does whatever he wants now. I wouldn't want to leave.
best control game last leaks leaving maybe played practicing start together year
Maybe I was out there doing things I had no control over and thought I did. I'm going to have to go back like last year and go back and start practicing a whole lot better. We're so close. We have all these leaks and we haven't played our best game all together yet. We're so close, I think, and we're just leaving things on the field.
bigger matter plays running start stepping throwing
It doesn't really matter to me (but) when I start running around, I think bigger plays happen. But we need to make big plays when you're in between the tackles with me stepping up and throwing the ball.
good throw
Paschal and Solomon probably throw it the best. I don't think Greenway and Follett can throw it very good. Ed can't throw it very good at all.
caught warren
I thought I overthrew him. Once Warren caught it, he wasn't going down.
defense great guys pumped run
Our guys are going to be pretty pumped to go in there and try to run the ball. I don't see why we can't do it. They're a great defense but we're going to have to run the ball. We have to set the tone.
matter
I thought we would have (tied the game). But it doesn't matter now. It's too late.
coaches couple gets great smart understand
He's just very smart and he has great coaches who understand football. We may only have a couple of All-Americans that come here, but he gets results. It's proven, really.
ball defense drives game keeping keeps means putting running together
Keeping the ball that long means we're running the ball well, we're putting long drives together and it keeps our defense off the field. Our defense got a lot better as (last week's) game went along.
both establish hard playing sides
On both sides of the ball, it was hard for us to establish anything. We can't be playing the same way we're playing.
gave special teams
I gave them a touchdown, the special teams gave them a touchdown. That's two touchdowns on us.
across ball field looks might throw
Every once in a while they might throw the ball across the field and it looks pretty. That's probably about it.
bunch couple defense guys offense ohio state team totally
It's a totally different team. There's a couple guys on offense and a bunch of guys on defense who left. It's a new year, new team and it was a new Ohio State team.
