affect capable game leading plays team
Pretty much we don't have a No. 1 quarterback. We have two quarterbacks who are capable of making plays and leading this team ... that doesn't affect me at all in game situations.
ask color dad jersey knows matter team time watch
He now distinguishes me (on television) from other players. Every time he used to watch football, he?d ask his mom, ?Is that my dad playing?? no matter what team it was. Now he knows what color my jersey is, so he distinguishes me from other players.
bunch columbus guys ready teammates train
I'll probably just train back in Columbus with a bunch of my teammates before those guys leave. I'll get ready from there.
heat offense situation team
In the heat of that battle, rotating was kind of frustrating for those guys. With the situation now being settled, I think our offense and our team will be more comfortable with it.

You've got to go in with the mind-set that you've got two guys ready to lead this team to victory.

I'm just focused on the team and focused on this being my 'money' year. This is the year that determines whether I go to the NFL (in 2006).

Ted Ginn didn't get much publicity coming into this game and I think that was good for him. Teddy was terrific.

To be honest with you, I don't care about them. I know we can beat them deep.
ball care hurt offense previous taking
This offense has been here all along. It's just that not taking care of the ball hurt us in previous games.
chosen class guys ohio played reason top
That was my reason for going to Ohio State, to be one of those top guys chosen and be in the class of receivers who've played there. I really wanted to be part of that tradition.
ball catch good great job ran route supposed worked yards
Troy did a great job of getting the ball out there where it's supposed to be. I ran a good route and worked for the ball. Yards after the catch were big for us.
attention drawn focus instead
Now we can focus on what we can do with one quarterback instead of having controversy and a lot of attention drawn to the team.
people plate stepping
I have a lot of responsibility. I'm stepping up to the plate with no one's help. A lot of people look down on me because I have kids.
against best country defense majority move practice stop time
We go against the best defense in the country in our defense every day in practice and the majority of the time we are effective. If we can move against our defense, there's no way any other defense is going to stop us.
