Sophomore Quarterback Taylor Martinez
On how the team avoids not losing confidence
"Just put that game away and think about the upcoming game."

On how he rallies the guys this week
"Just forget about that game pretty much, and move on to Ohio State."

On if he sees guys that are sulking or frustrated
"No. Forgot about that game."

On what he has to do about the turnovers and the ball security
"Just make better decisions."

On how he went back and looked at his decisions from the Wisconsin game
"Just got to make better decisions, like I said."

On what he sees while he's watching
"Just got to make better decisions."

On if he finds himself looking for wide receiver Jamal Turner
"All our receivers, right now, they're all doing a great job. I'm just glad that all the receivers are out there making great plays for us."

On how he rates himself when it comes to reading defenses
"Good job."

On what he knows about Ohio State
"We haven't watched very much film on them, but we will today."

On how hard it is for him to find those running lanes when teams drop players back and aren't blitzing
"It's a little different, but you just have to play our offense and hope it works against that."

On if Wisconsin did that
"Yeah, it was a very basic defense. They just pretty much played their defense against our offense, and we didn't do very well."

On what he saw on the sidelines with his teammates near the end of the game
"That we were a little down, but we knew we still had to keep fighting to the end no matter what the score was."

On if he thinks he tries too hard to make big plays
"No, just trying to help out the team."

On if he feels if they're preparing enough and not executing
"We prepared throughout the week. I think we did an awesome job last week preparing for Wisconsin and we just didn't come through on the game day."
