Troy Smith Guys Quotations

Sitting out last year's bowl game, I didn't think about that as much as you probably think I did. This year's group of guys on the field was the most important sending them out with a victory today.

Guys came off the edge, and I was just trying to stay alive. I saw Gonzalez pop open down the sideline, and I just tried to get him the ball as fast as I could.

I think it's being more comfortable within the offense, the guys starting to be comfortable with me and also the coaching staff. With more film study you're able to see more guys, not just through tunnel vision like I had early in the season.

First of all, I want to let you know that sitting out of last year's bowl, I didn't think about that as much as you probably think I did. To me, this year's seniors, this group of guys on the field, that's what it was about. I don't like taking a lot of credit for what goes on on the field because it takes 11 guys.

The scheme was to make big plays. The guys stepped up, the offensive line did a great job and I was fortunate to be able to connect on a couple deep passes.
