We definitely needed some speed on the outside. I haven't been around for much winning. |
We didn't come to Penn State just to be in a competitive situation, ... Just because we have four wins, that doesn't mean our season is over. We came here to compete for a national championship. |
We didn't win the Rose Bowl or anything. It's just a game. I think we understand that. |
We had a pretty good practice today. Everything was pretty crispy. |
We have guys on the outside who can make plays. |
We have to bring our A-game. |
We know that a lot of folks will support this and a lot of them will oppose it. It's fair to say that this really puts Oregon's wine country at a crossroads. |
We never expect to lose. But that game we really didn't expect to lose. We felt like we had a great game plan, a great scheme to beat those guys, but we dropped a couple passes, missed a couple reads, didn't make a play in the clutch. |
We pray before every game as a team. You don't have to go back there and pray. But everybody does. That says a lot about the character of the team. It says a lot about how much they value their God and whatever they believe in. |
We wanted to come back from last week, ... We were really excited going into this game. Joe (coach Joe Paterno) had to tell us to calm down a few times. |
We wanted to go deep. Coach came in at halftime and said they couldn't handle our speed on the outside, and we just wanted to stretch them vertically. We had to hit some deep balls because they were blitzing every time. |
We were a play or two away [from having a great season]. |
We're going to have to play very efficient and mistake-free to be able to hang in there with those guys. |
We're not done. We've got ourselves a tough Michigan game coming up next weekend. |
We're working hard this week, and we will be improved in that area. Hopefully I can calm down just a little bit more in the pocket and go through my reads a little quicker. |
