I've never been more embarrassed. One of the reasons I came here was the tradition of Ohio State, and you don't expect something like that to happen.

I was just tired. When he took me down I said, ?this kid's tough.' So I stepped it up.

To have something like that happen -- I don't know if we set some sort of a record for being beaten up on but it sure felt like it.

We were just so terrible. It certainly is a motivating factor for me anyway, just to go out and show people across the country that that 33-7 team was not us.

He showed how fast he really is. We all knew that, but hopefully everybody else realizes that now as well.

Coming into this week, we felt real good. Our spirits were high, and we knew that if we win out we can still be co-Big Ten champions. Everyone is focused on that goal.
