One play here or one play there and they could have had it, but we got it. It was a great football game with two teams playing as hard as they can play, and it came down to one play.

I feel for Paul. He's one of those kids that's never been hurt. He's not only a great player, but he's a great person.

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.

It was a great football game. I'm glad we won, but we're very humbled. One play here, one play there and it could have turned out different.

against football great heck intimidate last minds offense offensive run team yards year
They have a great tailback, ... Last year they had two great tailbacks. They make up their minds they are going to run and intimidate you. When your offense (goes for over 550) yards against a team like Purdue, they are a heck of an offensive football team.

He has not gotten quite the credit he should get because he literally has carried this football team. He's made some great drives for us and he's a heck of a player.
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.
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.
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 games greater
There's never been a greater game than football.

(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.

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.
