focused front guys happy hard proved watched work
All of our guys are happy that we've got that guy. They've watched how hard he's focused this spring, they've watched the work that he's done. He proved that in front of 63,000 going down (the field) on that first drive.
fast gives hard kinds mike motor players plays speed strong team whose
Mike is strong as a bull, and a surprisingly fast guy. And he's one of those players whose motor only has one speed - all out. He plays so hard that he gives the other team all kinds of problems.
beat conference focus game guys hard looking might next spend thinking time
Occasionally, all of us, I'm sure, think back to, gosh, if I would have called a different game ... we might have beat Texas. But you better not spend too much time thinking about those things. Once you get into conference play, the guys are looking hard to see who beat who and who do we have next and what have we got to do. I think their focus is very good.
anyone attention best business goes good guess hard paid pay recruiting results says special time tries whether works
I guess that says something about how much attention should be paid to recruiting rankings. What's made A.J. so special is that he doesn't really pay attention to what anyone says about him, whether it's good or bad. He just goes about his business and works hard and tries to get better every day, and that's why you see the results from him over time that have made him one of the best to ever play here.
based best grueling guess hard league people stadiums sure teams type walk
You never know for sure in the preseason how teams are going to be. You can make your best guess based on the people that are returning, and that type of thing. But the thing about the Big Ten, we play a grueling out-of-conference schedule. And then, when you get into the league and you go into those opposing stadiums, it's hard to win. Our stadiums are incredible. It's like you're already down by a touchdown when you walk in the door.

It was good, hard work and good, physical, competitive kids. They want to be good. They want to uphold the tradition of excellent Ohio State defense.
affect chance creates harder job plays problems stop
He creates a lot of problems because he can make plays when there's no play to be made, ... You've got to affect the quarterback's job because no one has a harder job than the quarterback and if you make it even harder, I think you have a chance to stop an offense.
anyone exactly fast hard seen special tall
He's hard to compare. I don't know exactly how fast he is, but I've never seen anyone keep up with him. He's a big, tall guy. He's a competitive guy. He's a special guy.
chasing dame fast running
Notre Dame is a fast defense, (but) when they're chasing one way, and Teddy's running the other, they've got a problem.
alumni football game great interest largest last level might ohio pick schools state
especially because they're Ohio State and Texas, two great schools that if you had to pick two you'd want to see play, if it's the last game you'd ever want to see in your life, it might be these two and that makes it special, two great football states, two great schools, two of the largest alumni in the world. The interest level is tremendous.

I'm not sure San Diego State was as good as the last two offenses we've played.

It's the farthest thing from complicated right now because Troy's not playing this week and we're playing Miami. . . . I don't know exactly what complicated means, from this reference point, but there's no complication now in my mind.

I thought that was the way it was supposed to be. You really become a part of the community, part of the institution. Joe Paterno is not just a part of Penn State, but a part of NCAA football.
