For the next three games there's no fear of a letdown. It's all about what we do. If we go out and we play good, we win. And if we don't play good, we lose. We're not going to let that happen. |
He showed me how to watch film and what tendencies to look for. What I see on film, I just take it to the football field, because football is a mental game. |
He was a little confused. We were trying to play games with him back there. |
He was cussing (his teammates) out. He cussed them out when the players lined up in the wrong spot one time. All you could do is smile when they had to call a timeout. You like that. |
I don't really think we should change a lot. We see guys like that every day in practice. |
I think Cleveland's an up-and-coming team. We have a good division. |
It didn't really bother us. We just couldn't let them have a good day rushing and a good day passing. In the first half, they had a good day rushing, but the second half we slowed them down. |
It had a big effect. We go out and put our pants on the same way as Notre Dame. Coming in we knew what we could do with their receivers. Tall doesn't mean everything. We just wanted it more. |
It's going to be a big chess match. Offensively, they don't do a lot of different things than other college teams, but they do a lot of things better than a lot of college teams do. |
Off the field, A.J. is quiet. He's a humble guy. He is a great player, but he's not a guy who walks around bragging on himself. He's a humble guy, a selfless guy. And that selflessness, that's a big thing with his teammates. To us, he's just a regular guy, who happens to be an All-American. |
Penn State's using (Williams) like we use Ted. |
The coaches especially stay focused for that week. They say that coaches have lost their jobs on that game. |
They?re gonna throw the ball. We welcome that. It?s up to us to stop them. |
They're so good. A.J. hogs the tackles. There were a number of games he had 20-some tackles. If Bobby, A.J. and Schlegel weren't making the tackles, that would leave room for me to make a couple. Then sometimes I had to share them with Nate. It wasn't easy. |
They've changed their offense because of those freshmen. They really needed to upgrade their speed and talent. |
