“That's something I kind of started Week 1, so when it got to where I'm getting a little beat up, I have a routine already for getting my body back together. Just getting in the cold tank, making sure you're getting massages.”
“I think I'm a guy who is going to come in and work hard from Day One.”
“In playoff football, you've got to be physical. You've got to run the ball.”
“I'm focused on going out and winning ballgames. Focused on getting better with the team every week.”
“I've given it all from my combine to my pro day to my meetings with teams.”
“Honestly, the type of runner I am, I'm a physical guy, and I try to set the tone early in the game, so you're going to see it a lot in the first and second quarter.”
“The more you see, the more you're going to learn. Just got to take advantage of the opportunity and get ready to play ball.”
“I'm a versatile guy. I'm a third-down back.”
“I think at Ohio State, we're professional athletes in Columbus.”
“Honestly, when I'm out there, I really don't even think about them as guys with names. I look at them as numbers.”
“With every rep, you're going to get better.”
“Notre Dame was my dream school growing up. But in recruiting, they had some other plans, what position they wanted me to play.”
“When we go out there, we have fun, but we get to work, and I think we're at our best when we're having fun. Having fun is key.”
“I take pride in being a jack of all trades.”
“I'm going to finish my runs hard, and I'm going to try to set the tone.”
“I'm a guy who can play all three downs, and I excel in all areas of the game.”
“I feel blessed. All the great running backs that have come through Ohio State - Archie Griffin, Eddie George, Beanie Wells - I'm happy that I was able to carry on that lineage this season.”
“When you let those defensive backs know that you're a physical player, they don't really want to tackle. That's it. That's why you see me get a hurdle every game. Those guys don't want to tackle me when I get to the second level.”
“We should be able to have a little more fun. I think it's entertainment to the fans.”
“I'm a guy who expects a lot from himself.”
