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.
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.
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.

We couldn't stop them. We couldn't get them off the field. ... But they stopped themselves a couple of times.
bring bunch excited family issues running sure tough
We couldn't make a first down running the ball. They were tough and got after our tail. They'll bring an excited bunch in here. I'm sure they'll want to get away from the distractions of the family issues with the flood, and they have nothing to lose.
easier family home road
When you're the home team, there are more distractions because your friends are around and your family is around. Sometimes it's easier to play on the road than it is at home.

We wanted to make sure he wasn't color blind.
