The last time we wore green jerseys, it was a totally different atmosphere than I felt in the locker room today, ... We didn't get overexcited, we didn't spend our energy in the locker room. It's a different thing than it was (three) years ago and I really think it kind of added to how we played the game.

The chandelier started going and the floor started shaking. Someone yelled get under the table and so we did. The sudden violence let us know that this was a bad one.

I keep reminding people that it's not over yet, but if we play as we did on Saturday then we should be OK.

It's really pushing yourself to the limit. I think nasty is really pushing your body, yourself and your mind to the absolute limit.

It's definitely more of a business atmosphere than I've ever experienced in a bowl situation. It really feels like we're getting ready for a football game like we did during the season.

It wasn't going to be that easy. I saw the referee waving his hands over his head (to stop the clock) with six seconds left. As far as that's concerned, if that's the referee's call, then it was done correctly.

It's a shame to see them at the basement. They are a fantastic club and I wish them well, starting after tomorrow's game!

There was miscommunications between us and the officials as far as what the rules were.

Even now, we've had a month to prepare for Ohio State and we're still getting new knowledge about the game plan. Even though it's 99 percent in, we're getting new things here we're going to do and little nuances of the offense are still being put in. It really makes it fun and exciting.

Very similar. Very similar. And that's something I'm actually quite excited about.
