gets gotten hit preferred ready snaps soon white
I would have preferred that he had gotten some live snaps and some live butterflies (last week), but that's not the case. As soon as he gets hit by one of those white helmets, he'll be ready to go.
enemy fast guy guys hit hole instincts maybe nice run sideways straight teddy
When there's a little hole there, it's nice to go straight ahead. When there's another jersey, the instinctive part of any fast guy ... is maybe run sideways once too often. But that's the instincts fast guys have, that they can run around enemy jerseys. But you see a hole, hit it. That's what Teddy did.
beat bit box coming extra hit kept leave people played run stop team vulnerable
When you have to play extra people in the box to stop his run it's going to leave you a bit vulnerable to the pass. I thought he played hard. He kept getting hit and beat up and kept coming back. And his team won.
allow attack bit college evolution football good guys hit league people pros quite spread throw
I think in this day and age, you've got to be able to attack with a lot of different things. There are so many good guys out there that can throw and catch, and the evolution of football -- there's so many good ideas. Sometimes, things trickle down a little bit from the pros. Now, the pros don't allow their quarterback to get hit quite as much as we do in college football in our spread offenses and so forth, but I just think because people are so well-schooled on defense, you've got to give them more problems. I think if you have that as part of your package, it can give you a chance. Some of the people in our league do it very, very well.
almost believes call cutting good guy hit home result risk runs seen ted tries trying
I think Ted is a guy who believes he can find a way to hit the home run, and he's hit home runs many times, ... He didn't Saturday, but sometimes that's the risk you take, cutting back. I don't know that I would call that hesitancy. For him, it's almost like he's trying to make a big play. To me, hesitancy is you go up and you stop. He doesn't stop. He tries to sidestep and I think we've all seen that work. We've also seen that not work, but that's a result of good coverage.
happens hit job loves ought surprised talent weight works
He's amazing. All he does is work. He loves it, loves practice, loves the weight room, loves to hit people. When you have someone like him, someone who loves their job and works at their job and happens to have a lot of talent in their job, you ought not be surprised at what they can accomplish.
confidence enthusiasm excellent good happens hitting kids ohio perhaps small state step tradition uphold
These kids are competitive; I thought the hitting and enthusiasm (on defense) was good. But real confidence happens over time. Perhaps we made a small step in that regard. These kids want to be good and uphold the tradition of excellent Ohio State defense.
We just thought that that was the way to go right at that point,
ball consistent evolve fact felt good season spread starting ten
We felt going into the Big Ten season if we could evolve to the fact where we always had a 100-yard back, then we could probably spread the ball around enough to have a good offense. We're starting to get consistent with that.
advanced coming felt football further game guy maybe next nice normal obviously step
We felt coming in ... he was a guy that was really into the game of football and you could just tell as he got here that he was maybe further advanced than the normal guy. ... Now he's got to obviously take the next step as we go into the Big Ten, but I think he's done a nice job.
cared good
We feel very good about where he is and how he's being cared for and his attitude.
appreciate certainly men women
We certainly appreciate what those young men and women are doing for our country.
mind number percent perhaps week
We're going into this week with the thought in mind that Troy will be the quarterback and have the most significant number of reps in practice, perhaps 75 percent to 80 percent.
capable chance
I've said many, many times that if you have two quarterbacks capable of being champions, you have a chance to be a champion, ... I think we have that.
