Going in with a month to prepare, we knew it was going to be an exciting game. We kept running. I'd get three yards, seven, one, then we'd air it out and go deep. When the game was close and it was time to run out the clock, I eventually broke one.

I feel like I can do 20, maybe 30 carries a game and still be fresh. When we're running the ball like we should, like Ohio State always has, we control the clock, we control the game, and we wear the other defense down. I run off instinct, and I don't think about it while it's happening. You just have to run, and that's what I want to do.

I was running over the middle. He hit me in the ribs. That's the hardest I've been hit all season. He'll knock your head off.

It's nice to see these children running around and playing. It's not like you're isolated There's benches in the playground where you can sit and watch the children.

The offensive line was on the sideline going crazy. They were telling me to follow them and they'd get me down the field.

The fact he's coming is going to be a natural 1-2 punch, two kids from Akron. ... Still, I've got to work even harder.
