As far as our defense compared to last year, last year we had a lot of fifth-year guys. We were always on point. This year, it's a little bit different. We have guys who are lining up together for the first time. ... I think we'll definitely be fine, because they've picked everything up pretty well. |
At first, I was really, really angry about the whole situation. Especially when we started practicing. That was very frustrating at first. But I realized I still needed to get something out of it ... |
Both teams realize that we are led by great coaches, coaches that will be remembered forever. It's an honor to be a part of this game. |
Donnie Johnson has really come to the front and stepped up. Justin and Tony have done really well this spring. |
Even though we won, we felt like we could have done a lot more. But it was still a win. It wasn't our best win, but it beats a good loss. We have high expectations. |
He was a huge factor in my decision, because I knew I wanted to come and play for a great man like him. |
He was putting the ball right on the money. He was throwing strikes. It was good to see him go out there in a game atmosphere in front of a crowd and succeed. |
He's obviously handling it as well as he could. He's taking his punishment like a man. He's doing everything the coaches have asked him to do. |
He?s a dominating player for us and whatever he wanted to do on the field, he was able to do. |
I am not exactly sure what I want to do. I want to come back to Penn State, but I'll look at it after the season. |
I came because of the tradition Penn State has, especially at linebacker, ... That was one of the main factors in my decision. I also liked the coaching staff and the people here. I just felt comfortable. |
I decided after speaking with my family and coaches it would be best for me to come back to Penn State and play my senior year. I am really looking forward to this coming season. I think we can have another great year. |
I don't think everything can change in just one season. To do that, we'll have to have more years of seasons like this. |
I feel like I could play a game right now if I had to, but we're just being really cautious with it and there's no reason to rush back for anything. I just want to make sure I'm 100 percent. |
I hope to be able to talk to him more in the future. |
