I wouldn't say we work on ball control, ... It comes down to the game situation -- if we have a lead, what we want to do in a particular drive. Sometimes Coach Paterno will come over to me and say, 'If you get a chance to throw it deep, see if we can hit it.'
Our coaches have done a great job using what we have, and we have some speed on the outside, ... Coach Paterno said we were going to put the best players on the field. I've become a lot more comfortable under center, and the more games we play, the more comfortable I feel.
This senior class made up our minds in the off-season that coach Paterno was not getting the respect he deserved. His team was not getting the respect it deserved and we always knew we were about a play or two away.
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.
The senior class, we made up our mind in the off season. You know, Coach Paterno wasn't getting the respect he deserved.
Sometimes I tell coach take it easy. You're 79 years old.
Coach Paterno is a great individual. I love that man. He's done so much for this university, so much for the game of football. I'm glad he went out there and proved everybody wrong.
Coach Hall does a great job of adjusting on game day. He's one of the best I've ever seen. He will come in at halftime and say, 'Look, here are five running plays and six passing plays and we'll do it and win the game.' He sees things very well.
It's not that much of a difference from the last couple years. We were just a couple players away from our record being totally different. Coach really hasn't changed much. It's just that the results have changed.
It means a lot. Coach Paterno has gone through a lot of criticism. ... I can't believe people wanted him to leave. We definitely finished it like we wanted to finish it.
Once I heard what it was ... me and coach had it out.
I haven't made a tackle in seven years. I'm waiting for an offensive line coach to approach me.
I don't see him leaving soon. Maybe he can coach my kid.
