“I told the defensive linemen they can single-handedly win the game for us. I'm relying on our defensive linemen to keep him in the pocket so we can play normal football.”
“We can't give up big plays like that, but at the same time we played well from there on out. Half of their yards came on that one play. We just had to get our heads on straight and start executing and we did that.”
“The scheme helps a lot but it is down to the players. We have tremendous linebackers. That always helps. They get to the tackles before the secondary has a chance to. Our down safeties are good tacklers.”
“Bobby can beat some of the cornerbacks on our team (in a race). You have to protect yourself when he's passing the ball. You just have to have a spy in case he wants to run the ball.”
“I think with that Ohio State defense it was a competition, it was a rush to get the tackle. That was just the mentality up there. So I attempted to get all my tackles solo because our linebacker, when they come in there, they just hit whatever's in the way. I take pride in that. I try to be a complete corner and I think that's one step to doing that.”
“I think on the field I'm a complete corner. I'm going to be out there -- the guy competing 110 percent every play. Off the field I don't think you'll see me get in any trouble -- I'll go to practice, go home, get some food, get some sleep, (and) go back to practice.”
