KEVIN WILSON ON WINNING A CLOSE GAME AGAINST PENN STATE "At the same time, we kind of left some points on the field." Wilson said it could have been a 35-0 game heading into the fourth quarter. But outside of the turnovers, he was proud of how the team played. ON SEEING A VARIETY OF DEFENSES THIS YEAR Seeing multiple defenses throughout the season helps Ohio State late in the season. Wilson said every team does subtly different things to try to attack you in ways they've seen on film. Wilson said that "by the time you've played 6, 7 or 8 games," you've seen almost everything Wilson also said practice is basically a "blitz-a-thon," saying "when you can handle the junk, you can handle still." ON THIS RIVALRY COMPARED TO OTHERS "It means a lot to everyone." "You've got passionate fanbases who care so much about their state." Wilson said he knows they feel the same way and that's what makes the game special. ON RASHOD BERRY Wilson noted that Berry even plays on special teams sometimes, along with offense and defense. "I have a lot of respect for him because he's talented, but he's also sacrificing to do what's best for the team.

Best HC prospect on this staff. Was hoping he’d get lost in the shuffle and stay under the radar after his Indiana debacle.

ON OFFENSIVE BALANCE "To me, balance is when you have to run you can, when you have to throw you can." Wilson said it doesn't have to be 50/50. Wilson said he likes how the offense is playing right now.

Three things to know about Ohio State offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson https://t.co/WMJZoCvOnn— BuckeyeXtra.com (@BuckeyeXtra) January 9, 2021
KEVIN WILSON ON GETTING SOME OF THE NEW OFFENSIVE PLAYERS INTO THE FOLD Kevin Wilson mentions that Ohio State has all but one offensive signee on campus as an early enrollee. Wilson said they're working with coach Mick to get their bodies ready. WHAT AREAS DO YOU LOOK TO IMPROVE IN? "Each area, just because you did it before doesn't mean you're going to do it again." Wilson said you have to play to the strengths of your players, so they'll be trying to figure out what the looks like for them this season. "In the end, it's what can you do and what do you evolve to based on what you have?" ON THE QUARTERBACKS "It's really just reaching those guys the offense." Wilson said the offensive line, run game and receivers will take off a lot of pressure from those young quarterbacks." "There's a lot of stress and a lot of expectation that comes with being the quarterback at Ohio State." ON THE TIGHT ENDS Wilson said Jeremy Ruckert wants to become more of a complete player and that Wilson wants to get him the ball more often. Wilson said he expects Jeremy Ruckert to play many more snaps this year. "That room needs to develop." Wilson notes that after this year, they're very inexperienced behind Ruckert and Mitch Rossi.
