When you watch Ohio State you realize they're so fundamentally sound and well-coached. You have guys that compete for 60 minutes so when you talk to your guys you tell them that they have to compete for 60 minutes and finish every play because that's what they're going to do.

Everyone has input on offense, although Charlie (Weis) is the general and I'm the captain. I deliver whatever message Charlie wants to get across.

Hawk is a competitor. He competes for 60 minutes and you realize you have to match his intensity.

The guys are grasping the offense. We have thrown a lot at them. At the same time, I think what matters right now is working on their fundamentals and technique. They need to work on the little things to make themselves better.
