cost game joe mentioned seen three tough written
I think Joe has mentioned it and I've seen it written before, that our game may have cost them two or three games. They couldn't get that game out of their system, it was such a tough loss.
adding ball create move seen watching
The thing that I've seen in watching him ... is they just keep adding to the package. They have more and more and more things that you have to defend. They really create a lot of problems. That's why they'll move the ball on everyone.
front game goal late line matter pulled seen sees somebody three year
I haven't seen any frustration, I really haven't. I pulled him over late in the (Indiana) game and told him to just keep going because I think it's just a matter of time. There have been probably three (runs) this year where he sees nothing but goal line in front of him, and somebody dives and just nips his toes. But he'll get some of those before the year is over.

I haven't seen any frustration. I really haven't,
backs games running win
When we win big games, our running backs play well.

We were beaten by a very good football team.
beaten both football good great penn sides solid 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.
team hard-work player
Everybody has a role on the team, and some have a role as a scout team player. They have to emulate the offenses that we are going to face. Those players still have to go through the out-of-season work and they work hard.
guy months technique
We had some guys that abandoned their technique and abandoned some of the things that we just worked a month on,
