Buckeyes Spoke To The Media Before They Hit The Road To Purdue

On Coach Day saying he sees his confidence growing:

“Yeah, my confidence is rising. It’s increasing. The players, the leaders of this team, the coaches, they stay on me. They encourage me each and every day. They talk to me each and every day, going out there in the practice field and busting my behind. That’s pretty much it. It’s nothing out of the ordinary. It’s just simple stuff.”

On how much of a confidence booster having a game like Saturday is:

“It’s a confidence booster, but it’s just a game. It’s on to the next one.”

On the fairness for another team when he is lined up next to Arvell Reese:

“I mean, somebody has to block him and if that guy doesn’t block him, then somebody has to block me. No, it’s not fair no.”
