My favorite post-game comment was from Tressel, when he was asked what he told the team when they had the second touchdown scored against the offense.

"Just calm down."

Cooper definitely left the building.

COACH TRESSEL: Well, it was an interesting game we played today. I thought our guys came out, played very, very solid first half and defensively I thought we played solid the whole game.

There were some good things, some we've got to square away if we want to be good, and we understand what lies ahead.

  • Gave up a fumble on a hard hit by Jonal Saint-Dic, which SirDarean Adams returned 25 yards for another touchdown
"Those two series, they were tough," Boeckman said. "They were bringing pressure the whole game, but they finally got to us."
