It's tough to explain to them. Guys from out of state may have an idea of what it's about, but once you get here it's completely different. I know once I got here I realized how different it was - and I grew up an hour away from Columbus.

There are certain guys you want to hit, and some you don't. I try to take everyone's head off, to tell the truth. I'm not going to play differently regardless. I'm out there to play 100 percent every play, whoever it is. If it was my own brother, I wouldn't change my play.

That's something some of the guys on the team started, and I guess it caught on.

It would be tough to stand here and explain to you guys how they had our number if we had lost tonight.

It's really tough that I have to always explain myself.

There was a lot of pressure on everybody, but really no extra pressure. We just needed to relax and do what our coaches have taught us.
