I'm not going to change; I'm going to keep grinding. I'm going to do all I can to win.

Trust your landmark and run through the smoke. It's going to open up eventually.

You definitely have to think of the perception of things before you actually do certain things. It may not seem like it's a big deal to you yourself, but there's a bigger picture.

You can't win every game, so I've just got to get back to work and get better next week.

I'm a guy that can play three downs. You don't have to take me off the field. I value blocking.

I'm just trying to go out each week and get better. I just have to be patient, and it's going to happen.

That's just how I live my life. That's how I was raised: to demand excellence out of myself.

Witten was my guy. I stayed in Wit's hip pocket and did everything I could to learn from him, learn how to be a pro.

With every rep, you're going to get better.

I think I'm a guy who's going to work and work hard from Day 1, and I think I'm a guy who brings a lot of versatility to the position.

You can't really sit around when you're sore. You've got to get up and work all that lactic acid out.

Winning the Super Bowl would be way more special than the rookie rushing record.

In playoff football, you've got to be physical. You've got to run the ball.

The NCAA has its rules. It's our job to abide by them.

I wouldn't say I'm a victim of high expectations. The expectations are going to be there.

What's a priority is going out there and winning ballgames every week.

I've worked on my game, and I don't think it has any holes, no weaknesses. I say that with humility because you can always work to get better. But I run inside, I run outside, and I'm just not a guy you have to take off the field for certain packages.

When we go out there, we have fun, but we get to work, and I think we're at our best when we're having fun. Having fun is key.

I'm a guy who expects a lot from himself.

Notre Dame was my dream school growing up. But in recruiting, they had some other plans, what position they wanted me to play.

I wasn't going to play on defense in college.

I am tired of hearing about Coach Harbaugh; I think he needs to get in check with reality because, at the end of the day, you can't talk smack about a rivalry when you haven't won a rivalry game. You got to win ballgames to be able to talk behind it.

I'm a guy who can play all three downs, and I excel in all areas of the game.

The criticism is what I expect, honestly, because I'm criticizing myself every day when I come in here and watch that film. I'm trying to get better.

I have a lot of great players around me. I have the best O-line in football. It's what's expected.

It's always great to get more reps.

The more you see, the more you're going to learn. Just got to take advantage of the opportunity and get ready to play ball.

I just like the ball in my hands whether I'm running it or catching it.

It would be special, just to know I had the best rookie season a running back has had in this league, especially a record that's been however old it is.

That's something I kind of started Week 1, so when it got to where I'm getting a little beat up, I have a routine already for getting my body back together. Just getting in the cold tank, making sure you're getting massages.

I think I probably have one of the easiest jobs in America. I get to run behind the best O-line in America.

I feel blessed. All the great running backs that have come through Ohio State - Archie Griffin, Eddie George, Beanie Wells - I'm happy that I was able to carry on that lineage this season.

I'm a versatile guy. I'm a third-down back.

I've given it all from my combine to my pro day to my meetings with teams.

To me, a good running back is a good defense. A good running back helps you keep your defense off the field.

I obviously love to run the ball.

I think I have great hands out of the backfield.

I think I'm a guy who is going to come in and work hard from Day One.

I think at Ohio State, we're professional athletes in Columbus.

There's only one professional team in Columbus, the Blue Jackets, but Ohio State is a football state.

I think I've been doing a good job of just making sure that I'm taking care of my body.

I just don't like how long the jersey is. I don't like to tuck it in, so I like to tuck it up under.

I want to go play behind that great offensive line they have down in Dallas.

I think I do deserve more than 11 carries. I think I really do.

We should be able to have a little more fun. I think it's entertainment to the fans.

I think they're taking a little bit of the fun out of this pro game.

I think actually it's kind of sad because something I looked forward to just getting to the NFL growing up was just being able to have more fun, the rules loosen up, being able to celebrate.

I understand what's expected of me. I understand the lineage for the running back position of the Dallas Cowboys.

Nobody's expectations are going to be more than mine.

This is a physical game, and that's how you have to play. When you do that, the defense eventually gets tired of tackling you.
