bowl doubt four games group playing seniors sent special sure tying win wins
There's something special about playing in the Fiesta Bowl, no doubt about it. The seniors have done so much here (becoming the first group to win four bowl games and tying a school-record with 43 wins as a class), I wanted to make sure we sent them out as champions.
anxious fourth middle quarter sure
Probably in the middle of the fourth quarter -- I'm not going to lie. You know, we're anxious to be a part of a matchup like that. Shoot, we can't wait. I'm sure they're the same.

brady sure
I think he's significantly advanced, I'm sure just like Brady is.
bit good hoped learn lots sure time watch
Troy did some realy good things, ... We'll go back and watch the film. I'm sure there will be lots of things that we need to do a little bit better. But I think every time you're out there making decisions, you learn a little bit more. Troy progressed and that's what we hoped for.
dress last miracles question running scheme seen sure whether
I would question whether he'll play. You know, I've seen miracles before, so I'm not going to say for sure he won't. He was running around there last night, I thought, interestingly well, but not in the scheme of things. I don't know if he'll dress or not.
ball begins believe best clock eleven entire game last next obviously opportunity point ready second sure talk terms throughout time year
We have a clock for each team, ... What we try to point out is you need to use every second to get ready for the opportunity to play a ball game because you only have, in this day and age, eleven opportunities, and next year begins twelve. You have to make sure you use your preparation time to get ready for that and most especially use your preparation time throughout the entire year so you're at your best in that last game. That's just something we believe in terms of preparation and something that we talk about and obviously have.
good plays snaps sure time
For his first time out, I thought Troy did some good things, ... I am sure there are some plays he would like to have back, but the only way to get better is to get in there and play as many snaps as possible.
deserved football goal kids left memory seniors sure tough win wonderful
The No. 1 goal we had was to make sure our seniors left with a wonderful memory. It was a tough football game, but our kids deserved to win it.
discussion interest sure
That's a discussion you have at times, but I'm not sure that would interest me. I like being involved.
goes great guys left legacy ohio people pride sure talk
When guys come back for reunions, they talk about the guy that made the big play in the Ohio State-Michigan game, ... That's just the legacy that's left and I'm sure the same thing goes up there when people come back and talk about the great pride they have in their program.
based best grueling guess hard league people stadiums sure teams type walk
You never know for sure in the preseason how teams are going to be. You can make your best guess based on the people that are returning, and that type of thing. But the thing about the Big Ten, we play a grueling out-of-conference schedule. And then, when you get into the league and you go into those opposing stadiums, it's hard to win. Our stadiums are incredible. It's like you're already down by a touchdown when you walk in the door.

care edge fast guys hold knew praying snap sure wing
They didn't have a wing. I'm sure guys started salivating on edge because I don't care how fast the snap and the hold is, if there's not a wing there I was just praying they could get the snap off in time. I knew we were going to have a chance.
