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.
alone best challenge defensive fine lead nation played tells
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.
certainly hart looking mike played somebody week
We should have played Grady, and we're going to play somebody else this week because, simply, it's too much to play Mike Hart every down like we did in that game. Looking back on it, that's certainly something I would have done different.
hope played rest
I don't know why we played like we did ... But I just hope we don't play like that the rest of the season.
bright excellent expected goes guys played start victors
I think he played as well as we could have expected him to play. He made our Victors Club, which goes to those guys who have excellent performances, and to do that in his first start at the guard, I think he's a very bright guy.
challenged despite football fought impressed played proud
I thought our team, despite some of the things we were challenged with, fought back and played through some adversity, and I'm proud of this football team. I think the thing I've been impressed with is how we've competed.
best game played since
LaMarr Woodley played the best game since he's been at Michigan. I said they've improved.
creates defense four great offense played pride program spread tackle taken wide
We'd like to tackle the quarterback, ... Traditionally here, we've taken great pride in the way we played defense. Like every other program in the country, the spread offense creates problems. I've said this because when you use the quarterback, really in many instances like a tailback, and yet you have four wide receivers and you spread the defense out, you're going to give up some yardage, you're going to give up some points. I think that's fundamental.
anybody best considered football great high offensive played point start talented tough
At some point he will be considered with the very, very best offensive linemen that have ever played here and that's high praise. He is so talented athletically and he is so tough mentally. For anybody who was going to start a football team, Jake Long would be a great place to start.
changes chris front guy played sit start type watch
Defensively, I'm very, very disappointed in the way we played, particularly in the front seven. I don't think we played well at all up there. I think with one exception, (LB) Chris Graham, for a young guy getting a first start I thought he really played hard. He made a lot of plays. We're just not where we need to be. We need to play harder. We need to play more physical. That is our intent. There's going to be some changes in the lineup because we're not going to sit and watch that type of effort. We need to play harder, we need to play tougher.
win
This was an awfully important win for this team. We've been awfully inconsistent.
chance college felt front growing move opportunity
When you have an opportunity to go in front of the media, there's always a chance to make mistakes. It's part of the growing process, part of the college experience. He felt really badly. It's just one of those things that happen, and you move on.
create great opportunity
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.
