Here are notable quotes from Ohio State’s national championship celebration that was held Saturday at Ohio Stadium.

Braxton Miller, Cardale Jones and J.T. Barrett.

Braxton Miller: “It’s a privilege and an honor to be part of this 2014 national championship team. And we have another year to do it. Go Bucks.”

Luke Fickell: “In my 19 years at Ohio State, I’ve never seen anything quite like this.”

Ed Warinner: “This is a dream come true to come back here. When I was a kid, I used to sit up there (in the stands). Now I get to be down here with the best players and coaches in the country. I hope to see you in the spring to see the 2015 edition of the Buckeyes.”

Jeff Heuerman: “I just want to say thank you to Buckeye Nation for these last four years. There are schools across the country that don’t have this many people show up for a game. You guys are special. On behalf of my teammates, I want to say thanks. Go Bucks.”

Joey Bosa: “How are you guys out here right now? It’s freezing (31 degrees). Can’t thank you enough. It still doesn’t feel real. Let’s do it again next year. Go Bucks.”

Urban Meyer: “If you going to do it, do it loud. Let me here that ‘Zeke.’ I’d like to introduce the best running back in America – MVP of Sugar Bowl and National championship game – Ezekiel Elliott.”

Elliott: “O-H.” (The crowd briefly stopped yelling ‘Zeke’ to respond with an ‘I-O.’) “I just want to thank you guys for being out here.”

Then, a superimposed image of Elliott’s cropped jersey appeared over him on the video screen and only Elliott’s face could be seen. He looked back at the video screen, laughed, then stepped up to the mic and yelled “Ahhhhhhhh!”

Following the celebration, Cardale Jones and Meyer had brief interviews with a small group of reporters.

Jones on how life has been since winning the national championship: “Pretty good since being back here on campus. I’m away from a lot of distractions and I’m just being around my teammates more.”

Jones on the reception he received in Cleveland – both when he announced he would be returning and when he was honored at a Cleveland Cavaliers game: “It was cool. But I was back home dealing with some family issues. So, it’s been good to be back around my teammates and my coaches, because those are the guys I go to war with and it’s great being around them.”

Meyer’s thoughts on the celebration and the fan turnout: “I thought it was perfect. Shows how smart I am. I said, ‘Let’s do it in the Schott.’ Gene (Smith) said, ‘No chance, not with all these fans.’ There’s nothing like this and thanks to them for coming out. We led the nation in attendance and then to have a turnout like this on a cold day was awesome.”

Meyer on how big of a boost this will be for the Buckeyes on the recruiting front, especially with this being a big recruiting weekend: “Oh, recruiting is pretty much done. We’re just wrapping it up and we’re already into the next year. But it is good for recruiting and nowadays with the digital video, this will be sent out everywhere. It’s obviously a big hit.”

Meyer on the feelings he has for the 2014 team: “Well, Jeff Heuerman, this was the last time we’ll sing Carmen Ohio together. Well, not really, he’ll be back for events and things like that, but I do, I love this team. To see those three quarterbacks (J.T. Barrett, Jones, Miller) get up there and speak. There are just so many good stories on this team. That’s why I tried to get up there today and instead of screaming and yelling, let the fans know what really went on. It has to be one of the most-selfless groups ever. Certainly the most-selfless that I’ve ever been around.”

Meyer on whether there was a point during the season when he thought winning the national title was a good possibility: “No. Well, the Wisconsin game I thought, ‘My goodness, what was that?’ And I also go back to (the Penn State game) where you’re down seven points in overtime after just blowing the whole game. That script has been written thousands of times and you lose that game at Penn State. But something happened. We didn’t lose that game. And I remember on the plane going home thinking, ‘Wow.’ Because I was thinking (during the game), ‘How do I get this team back if we lose this game?’”

Meyer on Miller saying he’s coming back to OSU in 2015: “I guess that’s what he said. I don’t know. We’ve been talking all along and it’s a unique situation. We’ll cover that later.”

Meyer on when he will address said unique situation with Miller: “Not right now.”
