COLUMBUS — Ohio State senior cornerback Denzel Burke made it very clear when he sat down at the table inside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center to meet with the media Wednesday night: he wasn't going to talk about his ejection. Burke was, of course, referring to the targeting call he was slapped with in the first quarter of the Buckeyes' win over Western Michigan that knocked him out for the rest of the game.

As much as he tried to be diplomatic about it, he finally cracked and gave some thoughts on his ejection.
