I knew it was going to be like that, ... What can I say?

Derrick was one of these rare freshmen who knew he was good before he got here. He would look at me and say, 'I'm going to be open,' and that attitude filtered down to all the receivers.
caught everybody knew
It was emotional. It was really emotional, ... I never really knew it was going to be like this, but what a way to go out. Everybody got caught up in this game.
class coach deserved knew minds respect senior team
This senior class made up our minds in the off-season that coach Paterno was not getting the respect he deserved. His team was not getting the respect it deserved and we always knew we were about a play or two away.
bad class focused great penn seasons seen senior state stay trying worst
I'm trying to stay focused on this game, focused on what we have to do. But this senior class has been through a lot. We've seen great seasons around here and we've seen a lot of bad seasons, some of the worst seasons in Penn State history.

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.

Oh my God. I have a lot of respect for him. Even a little bit more than I already had.
