On what the Buckeyes need to do better this week: "We have to play for a full 60 minutes. Those first 6-7 minutes or whatever it was was completely dominant, but after that, it was just OK. We can't take a deep breath like that." On the FAU game: "A little strange the way the game played out, but a lot to learn from."

 

Tyreke Smith and Tyler Friday aren't quite ready to go yet, but the Buckeyes will see how they practice this week to determine whether or not they'll play Saturday.

 

• Johnson said Cincinnati's quarterback and running back are "special" and the offensive line is "young but big."
• Larry Johnson says Cincinnati is "really a Big Ten team" in its physical style of running.
