Ohio State wide receiver Evan Spencer, son of former Buckeye great Tim Spencer, is a Buckeye through and through. Maybe too much Buckeye, in fact.
Oh, Evan... RT @RyanGinnBSB: Ohio State WR Evan Spencer on Alabama and FSU: "I think we'd wipe the floor with both of them."

Love the confidence, kid, but slow that roll a little.
UPDATE 11/11 4:01 p.m.
Spencer did bracket his quote with caveats about his "bias" but the full quote did not surface until will after the storm had formed. Here's Spencer's full quote for context:
“Well I guess I’m a little biased, but I think we’d wipe the field with both of them. But that’s just my bias speaking.”
UPDATE 11/11 8:31 p.m.
Spencer and Ohio State spokesman Jerry Emig and made the following statements via Twitter:
I did not mean to disrespect any FB team today. I am confident in my team, and as is evident in the video, I was having fun ...

...with the media answering their questions. I should have chosen my words more wisely. There was no intent to disrespect any other team.

Just spoke to Evan Spencer. He said he was having fun with the media today and he did not intend to disrespect any other team.

Evan is an articulate young man who regrets his moment of over-enthusiasm. His comment was said with humor and with no intent to disrespect
