good kick
We didn't get the (defensive) lineup we thought we were going to get. It's a good thing that (Kelly) put it through, because he had to kick it.
bunch came coached cow good great grow kids mostly penn positive seen state talk university wanna
Mostly I want to talk positive; I wanna talk about a bunch of great kids that I coached and made me look good and the university that I've seen grow from a cow college, which it was, only 12,000 people, and when I came here, we weren't at Pennsylvania State University, we were at Penn State College.
act admit good shall
We shall act with good intentions, but at times we will be wrong. When we are, let us admit it and try to right the situation.
awful good nice unusual
They're unusual kids, ... They have an awful lot of poise. They are not hotshots. They like to play. They know their place. They have a little deference to the upperclassmen - in a nice way. They're just really good kids.
ahead bangs damage doctors elbow fact football good great guys loss michael nerve player players playing program robinson turned worth
He could play, but the doctors think there could be some nerve damage if he bangs that elbow again. It's not worth the risk. He's too good of a football player with too much ahead of him to take that kind of chance. It's a big loss for us because he's one of the great players in America. He and Michael Robinson are probably the two guys who turned the program around. That and the fact that we're still playing good on defense.
attention bit blocking careless good hang pays schemes speed spends tapes tendency time tony watching worried
He has to hang on to the football, ... The one thing about Tony that I have always worried about is that he has a tendency to be careless with the football. He is a good back. If he pays attention to the little things and spends a little bit more time with tapes and watching blocking schemes and things like that he can be even better than just a good back. He has speed and he is strong. He's a 225-pound tailback.
fact football gone good great helped kids talk
He is a good football player. He is not a great football player. But the fact that he has gone through this I think has helped him with some other kids. He has been able to go to other kids and talk to them a little.
clout concerned everybody goodness last staff surprise thank toward university year
I had a little (problem) with the university toward the end of last year and they were concerned about what was going to happen. I said, 'Look, everybody relax. If I can keep my staff together, we will surprise a lot of people. Everybody just relax.' Thank goodness I had enough clout that I could get them to relax.
coached couple football good greatest michael player players robinson squad
I don't think there's any football player who's done more to rejuvenate a squad than Michael Robinson has done. Michael Robinson is one of the greatest football players I've ever coached and I've coached a couple of pretty good ones.
football good knew sure
I don't look at it as something personal. All I wanted to do was make sure everyone knew that we have a good football team.
jobs good-job beats
Failure is not getting beat. Failure is when you don't do a good job preparing.
hustle good-will happens
Keep hustling, something good will happen,
break serious soon team tough wait
(The team doctors) think he's got some ligament problems, but they are going to wait and do an MRI on him as soon as they can and find out just how serious it may be. It's a tough break for him.
bedtime hours looked past point thinking three watch
I was thinking 'When are we going to get this thing over. I looked at my watch at one point and it was three hours past my bedtime and we were still playing.
