00:00 We want to get to where we want to be, we have to win out.
00:02 It's not a matter of where we're at right now, it's all about the end of the season.
00:06 >> [INAUDIBLE]
00:16 >> Yeah, I guess I can go back to the reason I came here in the first place.
00:29 I didn't come here to go to a coach or go do a specific thing.
00:35 I love this whole place and so there was no other option for me.
00:42 I want to be here and I want to contribute as much as possible.
00:45 I love the culture here.
00:46 I love everything about Ohio State.
00:48 So when diversity strikes, the timer starts playing and
00:53 he gets those reps and I'm not getting them.
00:56 My focus in turn to just working as hard as I can and now contribute as well as I
01:00 can, there's so many other ways you can contribute other than just playing every
01:03 day.
01:03 >> [INAUDIBLE]
01:24 >> Yeah, it's definitely tough and
01:25 there are a lot of people across the country go through it.
01:28 And it's, you get comfortable with a coach and then some things happen.
01:33 It's a business.
01:34 So my thing was just learn as much as possible.
01:38 At the next level, it helps to know different types of defenses and
01:41 it can get confusing sometimes to transfer all your information.
01:44 But I just try to soak it up as much as possible and
01:48 be able to think on my feet and be able to adjust.
01:52 It's not easy but it's definitely something that's gotten me better as a player and
01:55 smarter as a player.
