To be a great team, you have to be perfect in November, that was the point he was emphasizing.

Things weren't clicking for some reason. It just didn't seem like we could get two plays strung together.

We didn't make the best of our opportunity. We had turnovers that you can't have, especially as you start driving down the field at the end going in for the tying touchdown. We can't set up our defense so they have to defend against a good offense at the 1-yard line. We can't have that. Those are big things we've got to work on.

You see that and you see you're going to have to play for 60 minutes. No matter what your lead might be, they can come back real quickly.

Inside the framework of the team, the team knows what the line does, knows how important it is to the success of the team -- to do the job up front.

It was almost like we played two different seasons. Things weren't going right, but nobody around here is used to losing, so we kept at it and found ways to get better. Once, we did that, we played like an Ohio State team should play.

After about one second, he's gone. He's just dancing around, making moves on people.

No way. I don't like those guys too much.

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.
