J.T. Barrett, Ohio State quarterback
On breaking the school record for touchdown passes
“It’s just a great honor. The tradition here at Ohio State is so rich. It’s just in everything we do. Despite everything I’ve been through it feels surreal. That’s crazy that I was just trying to do my part and do my best for the team and then broke the record. I’m truly grateful for it.”
Terry McLaurin, Ohio State wide receiver
On J.T. Barrett’s leadership
“He is going to challenge all of us, offensive line, receivers and running backs. We have a standard here at Ohio State and if we are not living up to that then it is his job as a leader to check that. He does a great job as a leader and we know what to expect him because he always gives us his all.”
On his touchdown today
“It’s something I really prayed a lot about. I worked really hard for this. I thank my teammates and my unit. They push me every day to go out there and make that play. I’ve just been waiting for an opportunity to go out there and show it.”
Jalyn Holmes, Ohio State defensive lineman
On Ohio State’s defensive line’s performance
“We’re just a team playing together right now. We understand the game plan and you’re seeing good coaching. We’re just putting it on film right now.”
On Ohio State’s defense
“We just got back to the basics and did what we’ve been doing all season. We saw all of what we saw on film all week and we just were well prepared for them.”
Raekwon McMillan, Ohio State linebacker
On Ohio State competing against each other
“There is always competition on a daily basis. That’s something that Coach Meyer preaches day in and day out. We can never relax. As soon as we relax somebody is going to try and take advantage of you and make a play for themselves.”
On Ohio State’s secondary
“They take away things that the opposing offense tries to do to you. They can only do so much when those guys are lurking back there. They just take away the offensive weapons and we dumb it down and do all the little things on a consistent basis.”
