A lot of young quarterbacks cringe, and they kind of go into a shell, and he didn't. Every time Joe got on him, he'd go hit the next three or four passes. |
A year ago if we run that, it's an 8-yard play. Instead, it's a game changer. We can do different things now. We have some flexibility. |
Any time you get in front of a crowd and do things well and have some success, it means a lot to you. |
He could coach 20 more years. I mean, I'm not exaggerating. |
He's going through the same thing I went through last year. I can empathize with him. |
Hey. You're a quarterback now. |
I told you the end would feel like this. It feels pretty great, doesn't it? |
I've been around Penn State my entire life, so I have a good perspective for its history. Forty years from now when they write about Michael Robinson, they'll write that he was the ultimate team player. That's all you need to know about him. |
It's not that we're better coaching; we are just executing better. When you add the right wrinkles and kids play better, it looks like you got a lot of things going on. |
One of the things you don't plan for is to go into short yardage situations in the spring game, because you just go let everyone have fun. |
So we're walking and my dad is talking about his memories of Coach Bryant and I'm carrying my son. That was a real emotional day. It was really special. |
The kind of guy who comes around every 20 years. |
The thing I was really looking for in spring was, does he know where he's going with the ball, does he know why going there, and he really did. He's made great strides there. |
They both play with the same kind of anger, not anger, but an edge to them. They both want to be great, not good, great. They may make one or two mistakes, but then they buckle down and make sure they won't make the same mistake again. |
When people write about what college football is all about they should write about Michael Robinson. He's everything that's good about the game. |
