This is a very physical league. They don't like that out there, but they are (physical). They're very tough down on the low block. If you're looking for hard-nosed kids, come and watch Big Ten kids play.

Austin, Texas, and Columbus, Ohio, are the two toughest communities in which you have to put together a winning football team. They are both big metropolitan areas without professional football and major league baseball to sidetrack them.

I'm not sure Ohio State will be able to shut down Vince Young, and not just running the ball. In watching him, he is an improved thrower of the football. Some of the wide receivers will have to step up and give him a target. The people in Austin are spoiled because of players like Roy Williams, but there is a lot of talent there.
