Senior Linebacker Fred Pagac, Jr.
On the Ohio State linebacking corps
“We have played descent, but there is always room for improvement. I know I’ve had some missed assignments. We just need to try to get better.”
On helping the young Ohio State linebackers
“It’s always important to show the young guys the ropes. We know they’re going to learn from us just like we learned from the older guys when we were younger.”
On winning on the road in the Big Ten
“It’s always a big challenge to win on the road in the Big Ten. Coach Tressel has a formula for winning on the road and one of the factors is to have a relentless defense. That’s how we plan to play.”
Senior Offensive Tackle Shane Olivea
On the offense
“We have not been very productive and we need to keep working hard and continue to get better. But to take a positive from everything, we have won six games and a win is a win. We know we have the potential to be a high-powered offense. We just need to execute more efficiently.”
On winning the Big Ten
“We are going to have to step it up on offense and continue to play strong on defense. We cannot solely rely on our defense if we want to win the Big Ten. We have to be more balanced.”
On fourth quarter play against Iowa
“We took a couple positives from our fourth quarter play this past Saturday. We chewed up a large amount of clock time and kept possession of the ball. The other positive is that we mixed up our play calling and moved the ball pretty well in the fourth quarter.”
