It'd be great to play Ohio State again. They beat us last year and knocked us out.

I knew it was between us and Ohio State once I saw Tennessee was in, but it just didn't go our way.

The monkey is off our back. It was really tough playing Duke. They constantly beat us. We finally got that win, and I think that mentally that fear against Duke is just gone.

If Texas can hang on and get into the fourth quarter and wear them out, they could beat Ohio State, ... I picked Ohio State to play for the national championship, but I love Texas, too.

Well, it's no different than playing at Ohio State last year. Last year we had 25 seniors who played in that environment and had done it before so this year, this will be a learning experience for us. My advice to the players will be to enjoy the moment. Don't get uptight. These are the things you've dreamed about as a young person growing up. Enjoy the experience, live it and play hard.

That game got the monkey off our backs. The fear against Duke is just gone.
