Everyone was born and raised Buckeyes. We’re a very close-knit family. I go to see my parents at least a couple times a week.

Just sayin': It's a dirty rotten shame Christain Bryant went down with an ankle injury yesterday; however, (everyone knows that) injuries are part of the game.

As the expression goes: NEXT MAN UP.
