attitude ball brought football gloves run throwing
It wasn't always throwing to them. I'd put the ball down, put the receivers gloves on and go out there and run with them. And they responded to that. They soaked it all in. These kids, they all know how to win. And they brought that attitude to our football team.

ball chance coach game hit particular situation throw work
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.'
ball coming gotta guys king player players
That started everything. King coming in and making a big play like that started everything. He's a big-time player and big-time players show up in big-time situations. He's one of those guys we gotta get the ball to.
