Ohio State Buckeyes College Football Pregame Quote, 01/15/2025

Opponent: Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Carnell Tate

On stepping up against Texas:

Everyone’s expected to have a big week going into the game. Depending on how the defense plays, somebody’s going to pop open. It was just my time.

On his crucial third down catch in the fourth quarter:

We knew once they came that they were running press man. So, when we were against man, somebody had to win.

On Jeremiah Smith opening up the offense:

When they came out and bracketed JJ, everyone else had to win and that’s exactly what we did. When JJ does his job, he opens up the game for us. And once we do our job, it opens up the game for JJ.

On the team’s belief in Will Howard:

He’s led this team by example whenever we’re down. He picks up this team, and he brings the juice when you’re in a situation like that.

On playing in the national championship:

Every college football player in the world wishes they were here in our position. That is definitely a blessing. Not everybody gets the opportunity to do it.
