Ohio State of Mind: Western Michigan


Relax. Take a deep breath. Play football.

Let's get back to the basics.  Stop worrying about the explosive plays and focus on that next first down.  3 yards here, 4 yards there.  Be patient.  The big plays will come if we are patient.

Calm down. Just play football.

You can't beat them all on your own.  Work as hard as you can to beat the guy in front of you.  If we each do that, we will succeed.  Individually, we don't stand a chance.  As a team, we are unstoppable.

Smile. Have fun.  Just play some damn football.

We don't have to beat every team on the schedule by 50 points.  We just have to beat the next team on the schedule.  It doesn't matter if we win by 1 or 100. The goal is simple: just win.

Chill. Be smart.  Play sound football.

Take care of the football.  Take care of the football. Then, when you're done with that, take care of the football some more.  The football is your baby.  Would you trust your baby with some kids from Kalamazoo, Michigan? I didn't think so.

Forget about everything else and just play.

Forget about last year.  Forget about the number one ranking.  Forget about the critics and the experts and every person saying we can't do it or we're not good enough.  Forget about who's behind you on the depth chart or who's in front of you on the depth chart because we are a family.  We are nine units strong.

Get loose.  Get rowdy.  Let's play some Buckeye football.


Go Bucks.  Beat Western Michigan.
