beat exhibition freshmen good guys healthy looked maybe ready rest seen team teams terms thinking
The team has looked pretty good. Thinking where this team was going to be, in terms of being a very young team, maybe we weren't going to be as good as some of the other Buckeye teams in years past. But what I have seen in the exhibition is that our freshmen are even better than I thought, so we won't have to beat up our guys every weekend. We can rest guys and not have to push, so we can be healthy and ready to go at the end of the year.

Illinois is a good team. They are one of the toughest competitors in the Big Ten and nation. The Ohio State team has improved over the past two weeks. If we have an incredible improvement on pommel horse we will win this dual meet.

I'm a little disappointed with the effort tonight. This meet was a step back for us because we didn't look like a team in the running for a Big Ten championship. We have a lot of work to do this week in order to prepare for the championships.

Jimmy was amazing. After not performing well on floor on the first day of competition, he did what he needed to do on the second day in order to make the U.S. National Team.
certainly competition gave gymnastics performance point points sound stellar team winning won
It certainly wasn't a stellar competition or performance on our part. But the team rallied, never gave up, and we won by a point, which doesn't sound like much, but in gymnastics winning by a point is like 10 points in basketball.

We are thinking toward both the Big Ten and NCAA championships. We want to go to Michigan and win, but our focus is on the Big Ten championships in two weeks.
