days good prolific win
There will be some days where we are prolific or, whatever, and then there are other days where we do just what we have to do to win and feel good about that, ... And there's going to be days where, you know what, we didn't do our part. I know that's the way Troy feels.
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.
ball best caught entire evaluate figure game nine saying sitting win
You evaluate the entire production. If we had caught that ball and win the game by nine points, I don't know if we're sitting here and saying we're perfect. You still figure out how we can be the best we can be.
discussion remember rose suppose ten winning
I suppose when I was here 20 years ago, I don't remember much discussion about anything other than winning the Big Ten and winning the Rose Bowl.
college football represent win
What is important about them, ... is that not only do they win, but they win with class. They represent college football very well.
capable next winning
We think we're capable of winning every game. It's disappointing. We didn't get this one done. And we have to get after it next week.
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.
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.
country games kids matter ohio players seen team three time trying tv win
The kids we recruited this year, from the time they were 13 to 18, have seen us on TV more than any other team in the country and have seen us win big games and three BCS bowls. Ohio is where we're always going to begin, but we're trying to get better in all phases, and it doesn't matter where the players are from.
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.

We certainly appreciate what those young men and women are doing for our country.
