If somebody (in the Big Ten) is better than he is, they've got to be awfully good.

I wouldn't tell you what we're going to do [to try to stop Smith]. There's no question he's an awfully good football player, and he's got people around him. The tailback's a good player. The offensive line does a heck of a job. We'll have to do everything well.

Whether it is big, important, another game or not, I don't know. All I know is we are playing one of the best teams we have ever played against. Ohio State is an outstanding football team. They are extremely well-coached. There isn't a facet of their game that isn't really good. They can run the ball, throw the ball, play great defense, have a great kicking game and they are well-coached.

Calvin is good enough,

We had guys open, we just didn't get the ball to them accurately. We might have had some big plays earlier in the game and there's the tendency to get discouraged. I didn't want Mike to get discouraged ... he'll be alright.

That kid is a good quarterback. He scrambles well and has got a lot of poise, but we let him off the hook too many times.
