best came complete dominated guys halves played playing three today took
The best thing about today was that we played a more complete game. We've been playing halves or three quarters, but today we came out and dominated for three quarters, and then our other guys took over and we were still able to make plays.
appreciate coach good great guide history honored knew lives media moment ohio picture players state took trophy winners
I took the media guide and showed our players all the great All-Americans and all the Heisman Trophy winners at Ohio State so they would appreciate the history at the school. I showed them a picture of Coach Hayes because I knew he would be honored there. I want them to know what's going on. I told them when they're 54, they'll look back on this as a great moment in their lives and that they need to play good and they need to win.
flipped fun guy mature surviving switch took
He flipped the switch and took over our team. It's fun to have a mature guy who's not (just) surviving at quarterback. He's getting better every play.
confidence flipped switch took
He flipped the switch and had confidence and took over our team. This is now Vince Young's team.
ability baby difference enjoy good kids last people stakes step talked teams texas time took year
Good teams enjoy the hype, and they have the ability to focus. Young people come to Texas and SC for this game, and it's been a long time for us to get back to this game, and we took a baby step last year in this environment. I've talked to the kids about it. The only difference between this year and last year is the stakes are bigger.
family five game heard home kids last left minutes needed points ruin soon third
When we got up to 60 points with five minutes left to go in the third quarter, and with what some of those kids have been through the last week, I thought we needed to get the game over with as soon as we could and let them get home and not try to ruin their season. Some of those kids haven't heard from all of their family members.

What a fun week for us, for Ohio State and for college football. It is unusual any more to have matchups like this out of conference. I am proud that we are going to a place that cares about football like we do and that has the storied history that we do.

We felt like we wanted to go back and look at some things, and we also wanted the guys to enjoy a good weekend without having too much pressure of trying to understand where they fit right now.
felt few game great hotel last manager practice room year
We felt like last year was great preparation for this year. I'm in the same room in the same hotel with the same manager at the same practice field. There are a few more (media) here than there were last year. ... It's the same game with more stakes.
everybody hoping maybe step
We're hoping that maybe because we have inexperience at quarterback it will make everybody else step it up more.
efficiency graduated highest lost next passing won
The other thing I would say about Vince Young is he just had the highest passing efficiency of any quarterback in the country. We're very complicated with what we do offensively, and he's won 30 and lost two. He would have graduated next fall.
game huge last point wear year
When you take a devastating loss, it can wear on you. I do think that'll be their point for this week. That was such a huge game for them last year and they let it slip.
ball running yards
We're running the ball perfect, 300-some yards a week.
