He had a great game for us. As the season progresses, he's going to help us some at fullback as well.

We made some mistakes early and they jumped on us. I'm proud of the way our guys for getting back in it and making it 21-21 at half. Our guys played hard. Shelby just came out at the first of the second half and set the tone.

We've gone through all the formalities. He's in line to be on the team and all that stuff. Now how much playing time and stuff like that, that's still to be determined.

I'm hoping for a break. And we got one with that blocked kick.

We've picked up a couple kids that went out for track last year, and they should help us. We have a time trial before each meet to get our top seven spots and that keeps the door open for anybody on the team to step up. We have a good-sized team and they have really been pushing each other.

The primary thing my parents always emphasized to us was to get involved and to help. That's the sort of attitude I think Jim has brought to Ohio State. It is about so much more than coaching.
