Jim Tressel Command Quotations

I don't think I've seen Troy yet totally in command and relaxed. He really wants to do well and couldn't wait to get in and play after sitting out a couple games there when we were playing two weeks ago. This week I thought was very, very valuable in that he got 71 snaps and that he got a lot of plays on tape and a lot of things he can learn from. I just think it's just relaxing and being in command with the whole situation. To me, that's the biggest task that he has to tackle.

What Troy does is he has a great command of our offense. He's old-school and he knows what he needs to do. When it doesn't go just right, he can improvise.

The key to any great performance is that your key players make plays. What Troy Smith does is, he has a great command of our offense, and when it doesn't go right, he can improvise.
