ball confidence control experience extremely game great job lead learn throwing tight
I think he's throwing the ball extremely well and I think he has the confidence of being in a lot of big games, the experience that comes with being in tight ball games, being in two-minute situations, being ahead, being behind, all of the things that you need to learn to be able to learn to be able to control the game and lead your team. I think he's done a great job of that.

changed control hard nobody ohio played playing pressure state tempo throw trouble
We thought if we get control of the game, Ohio State would have trouble playing from behind, but they played very well from behind. Nobody ever would have thought they would throw for that kind of yardage, but they changed the tempo of the game, they made it very hard for us to pressure the quarterback.

With any change, there's great enthusiasm. It does create an opportunity for change, and new ideas, so I think it is going to be very good.
defense fourth last space
When you look at what he did in the fourth quarter, there was not a lot of space in that defense on the last drive.
good plays poor progress throws
Being a quarterback is a process. And I think he made a lot of progress. I think he made some very good throws out there today, then he had some very poor plays that he'd like to have back.

Everybody is disappointed. And yet everybody is resolute to try to do the things we need to do to turn the season around.
anybody football goals good happened lost program stage teams unless
Every program has goals and you have to decide, do you still have the same goals, because when you look around at what's happened in the first two weeks, a lot of very good football teams have lost. I don't think at this stage anybody is out of anything unless you've lost two games.

Year in and year out, on a consistent basis, the best teams in the country always have great defenses.

We've played some very, very fine defensive fronts, and I think this is the best we've played. They lead the nation in sacks. I think that alone tells you the challenge we have.
