Postgame Press Conference - Ohio Players

#7 Kurtis Rourke | QB | Redshirt Junior  

Q: What was the difficulty in sustaining those drives with Penn State cutting off explosive plays? 

A: Just not fully executing and being consistent on some drives. We knew we could move the ball and we did and we showed that. Certain players stopped that execution ability. We made some good plays against some good players on the other side, but we have to be better.  

Q: What can you guys takeaway from this game going into next weekend? 

A: I think we played really hard as a team. There were some stretches where we looked really good both offensively and defensively so that's a confidence we can takeaway. I'm really proud of the guys, they worked really hard and they were in it when some of us were taken out, they wanted to be in there. They didn't give up and that's what this team is all about.  


#38 Keye Thompson | LB | Redshirt Senior  

Q: What can you guys take away from this game going into next weekend? 

A: First of all, we haven't watched the film. But I think we can take away us playing for us and staying in our level of play to where we can dominate these games. 

Q: What were some of the looks that you guys were getting from the offensive line which allowed you to pass rush? 

A: We knew going into this game that they were going to show us their best and that's the same thing that our offense does in practice, so we saw it in camp. In this game, it was just natural for us. Coach Nowinsky made great play calls and blitzed them a lot and we created opportunity off of those things.
