%^$Comments From Ohio State Coach, John Cooper:
%^$”Well, it’s great to get back in the victory column. I think we came out and played well early. I%^$was disappointed we had to settle for a field goal on that second score..”%^$
%^$”Steve Bellisari, that’s the best game he’s had throwing the football, especially early. We just%^$jumped on `em early.”%^$
%^$”We’ve got to get over those stupid penalties. They didn’t hurt us today, but they could in the%^$future.”%^$
%^$”We’re happy to get a win.” Yes, I think Steve (Bellisari) threw the ball well today and our%^$receivers ran good routes.”%^$
%^$”After today we’ve got to regroup and get after Purdue. “%^$
%^$”Based on our game plan, we thought we’d have to throw the ball. Part of it was the nature of%^$the defense they were playing and also the young people they had in the secondary.”%^$
%^$”This team talks too much (during a game). I think there’s too much (talking on the field) in%^$college football today.”%^$
%^$Comments From Iowa Coach Kirk Ferentz:
%^$”I want to start off by saying that I really appreciated our fan support. Our fans have great pride and were really into the game during the first half. I would also like to congratulate Ohio State on their victory. The are a good football team. They may be the most talented team we have faced all year.”%^$
%^$”The thing that hurt our team the most was turnovers. The two early turnovers in the first quarter really put us in a hole. You can’t expect to win a football game when you make mistakes like that.”%^$
%^$”There were several things that we could have done better. Our red zone offense couldn’t get%^$things done and we had some penalties that set us back. Our secondary had a rough game. I%^$think that Ohio State wanted to get Ken-Yon Rambo into the game early and he did a good job.”%^$
%^$”We had a lot of guys who competed hard while being hurt. They fought extremely hard. We%^$just have to hope that these players get healthy. We need to keep working hard, put this loss%^$behind us and prepare for Wisconsin next week.”
