Shane Montgomery Game Quotations

For us to play a team like Ohio State, it's better that we play them in the first game of the year rather than in the middle. It gives us the opportunity for working the kinks out. This week is more important on paper than last week.

This was a game we've been looking for. We really hadn't put a complete game together yet.

This game had a lot of momentum changes. We had chances to grasp control early, but we let them hang in there, and they made some plays. We shot ourselves in the foot in the second half.

They are similar to us in that they lost an early season game they thought they'd win. It's the same type of game for both of us. If you lose another game, you could be out of it.

In a big game like that, you have to make big plays when you have your chances.

The difference in it is there are no open weeks. After the first game on a Thursday, we play on nine straight Saturdays.
