Playing for Paterno is all good. Nothing has changed since the days we were losing. We never left our eyes off the prize and I'm just fortunate enough to be here as part of this team. |
Reruns is not located in a typical retail environment. People are expecting to see a lawyer's office, not a kids' shop, in that part of town. |
Sometimes I tell coach take it easy. You're 79 years old. |
Stephne's death ... seemed to tear down a wall of a certain innocence, |
That drive was all about heart. Derrick was kind of upset at halftime because he felt like he could do some things on the outside, but we weren't getting him the ball. I told him to be patient. |
That started everything. King coming in and making a big play like that started everything. He's a big-time player and big-time players show up in big-time situations. He's one of those guys we gotta get the ball to. |
That was probably the time everybody on the team believed I could get the job done. |
That's probably what I'm going to miss the most, to be honest with you, |
That's what I used to see Penn State do, back when they were winning. They never let up. If we made a big play, we'd throw another big play. |
The grass is always going to look greener on the other side of the fence. I just think God put me in this situation for a reason. If I can handle this, I can handle pretty much anything. |
The line did a great job. The receivers got open. I had an easy job. All I had to do was put it out there and those guys ran underneath it. |
The process has been enjoyable, but at the same time, there is so much uncertainty. One day people are telling you you'll go in the second round. Next day people will say second day. |
The senior class, we made up our mind in the off season. You know, Coach Paterno wasn't getting the respect he deserved. |
The thing about it, I think I was fortunate enough to get it. Get his message. I got it a year ago, which made this past season that much more enjoyable. Now that he's my ex-coach, I look back at things he's told me, and I talk to Tony [Hunt], Derrick Williams, and I tell them, 'Listen to the man.' You've got a guy who really cares about you and how you do in life. I tell them to soak, because that's rare. |
The thing that's great about AZ is he brings so much to the field. He does everything well physically and he's just a born leader. The players respond to him. |
