Ashton Youboty Quotations

I think with that Ohio State defense it was a competition, it was a rush to get the tackle. That was just the mentality up there. So I attempted to get all my tackles solo because our linebacker, when they come in there, they just hit whatever's in the way. I take pride in that. I try to be a complete corner and I think that's one step to doing that.

Actually I thought he was up on the line. I thought they were trying to do a trick play.

They had a few dinks and dunks, but besides that, I think we did a good job of containing them. We eliminated the big plays.

Not too many 6-5 guys are that fast. Their speed is deceptive. I've watched one player, (it seemed) he gained two steps every 5 yards.

He's just slippery, so you've got to balance up and let him make the first move.

We can't give up big plays like that, but at the same time we played well from there on out. Half of their yards came on that one play. We just had to get our heads on straight and start executing and we did that.

I think on the field I'm a complete corner. I'm going to be out there -- the guy competing 110 percent every play. Off the field I don't think you'll see me get in any trouble -- I'll go to practice, go home, get some food, get some sleep, (and) go back to practice.

There were people there from all over the country; in cover drills, sometimes Jay Cutler would be throwing the passes. Along with working out, I learned a lot of new things about playing my position.

Bobby can beat some of the cornerbacks on our team (in a race). You have to protect yourself when he's passing the ball. You just have to have a spy in case he wants to run the ball.

The scheme helps a lot but it is down to the players. We have tremendous linebackers. That always helps. They get to the tackles before the secondary has a chance to. Our down safeties are good tacklers.
