On being the fastest Ohio State Coach to 50 wins
“Well we play more games then they did back then. I have learned a great deal from growing up watching Woody (Hayes) and I got the chance to learn first-hand from (Earle) Bruce. Going all the way back to Paul Brown, the coaches have made this the place to be for people in the state. I know, my father was one of them.”
On the offensive line rotation
“We a long time ago we made a commitment that when we got inside the 20s on either side of the field we wouldn’t change anything. Iowa did a good job of pinning us inside the 20 so it wasn’t by design but sometimes things just happen.”
On Bowling Green
“The have a great threat with both of the quarterbacks they have. They throw a lot of movement at you and they run the spread so they make you accountable for everything you do on defense.”
On the new turf at Ohio Stadium
“I am very impressed with what they have done with the field. I remember one of times we were out for the Fiesta Bowl they rolled out turf just for the game and then gave it to the a local high school. Kirk (Ferentz) told me they had the same thing done last year and I would be surprised with how good it was.”
