It looked like [the pass] was taking forever to get to me, but I just concentrated on the ball. I knew he was going to try to tackle me high, so I just ducked under him. |
It was a hard-fought game, but they made a run. |
It's a huge day. We have people from all over the country coming. [And] I just talked to a group from Kenya who will be here. |
Jay told me right before the game [that I would play quarterback], and my eyes lit up. |
Justin and I were good friends in high school and we talked about it happening just this way. We wanted to go someplace where we could make a difference. We wanted to put Penn State back on top, back where it belongs. |
Penn State hasn't had a person like what I can do. I think that I can catch a five-yard pop and make people miss and take it to the house. I need to give people some excitement there. |
Right before the game Jay (Paterno) came over and said I was going to throw today. |
That motivates me and Mike, ... Me and Justin and a lot of freshmen came out here like, 'We can win the national championship this year.' |
That's a great man right there; I respect that. |
That's something that everybody dreams for -- especially when it's my first touchdown. |
That's why I came to Penn State. I think I'm a great football player. If I get the opportunity to shine, I'm going to shine. |
This is great right here. It's like a dream. |
We didn't just want to jump on a bandwagon of a team. We wanted to make an impact. I think we're doing that right now. We were looking for a group of guys who wanted to win. |
We just don't want to be a one-hit wonder, then come back the next year and stink it up. |
We never gave up. That was our motto this week — fight to the end, never give up. I believe. That's all I'm going to say. I believe. |
