add ball bit box capable good guys happen job people pressure prove quite run throwing trying
We feel like we've got some guys, we'd like to get the ball in their hands. Plus, we also think that if you can prove that you can do a good job throwing it, there aren't quite as many people in the box when you are trying to run it. Then I think when you add the quarterbacks into the run package, that's another bit of pressure you can put on the opposing defenses. So you'd like to be able to do it all, and I think that's why you see so many people doing it, and specifically the guys that we've got that are capable of making things happen when we deploy that way.
football hoping running rush throw
I was hoping we would rush it for about 200, throw for about 250. I think we've got to get a lot better running the football than we were today.
game job opened run throw
We've said for years that if you can run well, you'll be able to do a lot of things well. We did a much better job in the run game and then that opened up opportunities to throw it well.
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.
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.
capable chance
I've said many, many times over the years that if you have two quarterbacks capable of being champions, you've got a chance to be a champion, and I think we have that.

It would be a dream job if you were interested in it. Ohio State was a dream job as a college coach and it's still my dream job.
ability along brought chance europe few folks hope hoping last lines nfl opportunity people run together
It was along the lines of hoping he would have a chance to get things together and make a run at things with NFL Europe. NFL Europe is for folks with some ability to get an opportunity. And as I said the last few times people have brought up the subject, my hope would be that he would have an opportunity to go over to NFL Europe and make a comeback.
