effort given playing reward special teams tremendous
Our special teams have been playing very well and they've given us tremendous effort. I wanted to reward someone, acknowledge someone who exemplified the effort that we look for in a special team - and that's what Zach has done.
ball both built executing game management momentum next playing plus prepared run sides
I thought just the management of the game, making adjustments on the run and executing on both sides of the ball as well as playing all the young guys, I think all those things are good. I think just the way they prepared for a game like this and went out and executed it. Just a lot of things were built on. Plus we got some momentum going into next week.
athletic confidence graceful impressive moves playing
Just how graceful he moves and how athletic he is, he was very impressive in the game, just playing with a lot of confidence and savvy.
across best clearer coach days finish help next parent playing point prepare responsibility talking whether
It's our responsibility to help prepare them for when their playing days are over whether it's when they finish playing for us or when they finish playing at the next level. The best way to do that is have someone who has experienced it. The point comes across much clearer than a coach talking to you or even a parent doing the same thing.
half playing second
We just weren't the same in the second half without him. No one is playing as well as he is.

He was really playing well and was cranked for this game. He got his foot caught in the turf.

When we win big games, our running backs play well.

We were beaten by a very good football team.

We were beaten by a good football team today. They're solid on both sides of the ball. My hat's off to Penn State, they're a really great football team.
use using-me committees
Most search committees use me.
memories kids games
I love bowl games. I really do. I like it more than the kids do. I grew up a poor kid in western Pennsylvania, and I went to Nebraska because I saw them play in the Orange Bowl and I wanted to play in a bowl game. I cherish the memories.
player hype people
This bowl has lived up to all the hype that I heard of it. Coaches...that have been here rave about the hospitality, rave about the venue and all the activities for the players. The people here have been marvelous. The bowl committee has bent over backwards to make sure that our stay is an excellent one. The players have something to do if they choose every day. You couldn't find a better place.
underestimate
We did not underestimate what we could do,
fighting winning games
We hadn't lost morale. But when you fight for four quarters, it's tough to always bounce back. The offense kept us in the game the last two weeks and to get out with a win feels really good.
