aware came cumulative defensive figure hawk high ohio people pushing saw seemed special state weight worked
A lot more people were aware of A.J. Hawk once he came to Ohio State and they saw him do things like that. But as we went through high school, it was solidified even more that there is something special about him. I think it was a cumulative kind of thing - the way he worked in the weight room, relentlessly pushing himself, and the way he seemed to figure in on every big defensive play.

A year ago we started out as individuals and sort of came together at the end. This year we're starting where we finished, and coming together as one.

We can't be overlooking anybody right now. Indiana has a renewed sense of energy, so we are really going to come after them this year.

He got me on a run play, which I'm still upset about, but that's how the rivalry goes. You just have to get low on him and grab on.

He didn't put anything in the bank. He collected it. It's like living with a person during the Depression. It was all in a safe. Before that, he had it hidden throughout his room. I guess his grandfather does that, that's where he got it from.

Being the third pick he'll be able to afford a bigger pool house. He may not spend a dime of any money he gets. He's going to have to find a lot of hiding places.
clock front game goes mind soon straight struck zero
As soon as the clock struck zero and the game was over, your mind goes straight to Michigan. It's always in the back of your mind through the season. Now it's at the front of your mind.
mess nice people
It would have been nice to have at least one other person here so I could mess with someone else other than people I don't know.
clicking plays seem strung
Things weren't clicking for some reason. It just didn't seem like we could get two plays strung together.
