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.

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).
both gonna great mistakes special teams
It's gonna come down to who is the most disciplined team. Both teams have great defenses, the offenses are being very productive, the special teams are doing their job. It's going to be the team that capitalizes most on the mistakes the other team makes.
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.

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

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.
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.
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.
ball draft throw
There is a possibility that we can throw the ball a lot more by the draft picks.

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.
