Quotable: Jones to the Baltimore Sun on facing his former team: "Obviously I had this game marked since I transferred from Ohio State. Nothing personal. I'm still friends with a lot of those guys. The relationship is still good between all of us. I'm excited, anxious to get out there on the field in front of the Ohio State fans, too. It's a great opportunity for me to end my career, finishing where I started."
