Bowling Green Postgame Quotes
Head Coach Gregg Brandon
(On Ohio State
"That is a pretty good football team. They have a lot of weapons and they got us today, just like they have gotten everyone else this season."
(On Jim Tressel)
"Jim (Tressel) talked to me before the game and said in studying our film he saw us getting better every week. After the game he told me he saw even more progression and that is a great compliment because he is a great coach."
(On Ohio State)
"I am very proud of my guys. They stood in there toe to toe with one of the best teams in the nation. We just lost too many little battles but they are a very physical football team and hopefully this game will help us down the road."
On field position
"We gave up too much land. Their weapons created that. You don't want to kick to those guys."
(On Troy Smith's long run)
"The kid drops the ball and then runs forever. It's like PlayStation. Those kids (Smith and Ginn) are phenomenal and No. 11 (Gonzalez) is no slouch either."
Devon Parks, senior defensive lineman
(On the outcome)
"Obviously the score did not turn out the way we wanted. They have so many weapons. You saw what they can do."
(On Troy Smith's 34-yard run)
"There are not many quarterbacks in the country that can make plays like that."
Corey Partridge, sophomore wide receiver
(On his TD catch)
"It was a great drive by our offense to go 80-some yards. I just stuck out my hand and managed to make the catch."
Anthony Turner, sophomore quarterback
(On Bowling Green's future)
"If we don't give up the big plays and shoot ourselves in the foot, the sky's the limit for this team."
(On playing in front of over 100,000 fans)
"The first time I stepped out on the field I had chills up and down my spine. But once I got past that first play, I was fine."
(On the third-quarter drive)
"We executed our game plan. It was what we wanted to do and it worked."
(On field position)
"Field position was huge today. People don't realize how important special teams are. If we get the ball a few more times in better position things might have been different."
