guys hitting last plays sent stretch three year
Those are some of the things that we have to hit. We weren't hitting those plays last year. Now we have two or three guys that can make those plays. Last year I was the only one they sent deep. But we have some guys that can stretch the field.
believe couple definitely last ourselves rightfully underdogs
Yeah, most definitely we still think of ourselves as underdogs and rightfully so because we haven't done so well the last couple years. The more I don't read about us, the more I still believe that we're still not getting respect.
calm coach excited few joe last
We wanted to come back from last week, ... We were really excited going into this game. Joe (coach Joe Paterno) had to tell us to calm down a few times.
changed coach couple difference last players record results totally
It's not that much of a difference from the last couple years. We were just a couple players away from our record being totally different. Coach really hasn't changed much. It's just that the results have changed.
home last
It was emotional, being our last home game. But what a way to go out.
bit bother changed continue last people win
You would think the world has changed a little bit over the last 20 years. But it happens. People have the right to be able to say what they want to say. We continue to win games, so it doesn't really bother me.
exactly great hits last lets offense open patient runner supposed waited year
He's a more patient runner now. Now, he lets things open up and then he hits them. Before he waited too long. Now, he hits them exactly when he's supposed to hit them. He has made great improvement, even from last year to this. He will be a big part of this offense this year.
bit knowing last needs personnel quiet whatever
Galen was very quiet last year. He did what he did, but he was very quiet. Now he?s more out there. He?s yelling, getting on people. That comes from him knowing his personnel a little bit more, knowing what he has and being able to do whatever he needs to do with it.
focus forgotten mind night saturday thinking totally tough trying
It was tough all of Saturday night and all of Sunday, I was thinking about what we could have done differently, ... But now I've totally forgotten about it. I'm just trying to get it out of my mind and focus on Illinois.
feeling god great handle learned time tough
It was tough feeling like you could do some things better than the other guy, but at the same time it was tough on Zack Mills, too. He's a great quarterback, and I learned a lot from him. ... I just think that God put me here for a reason, and if I can handle this, I can handle anything.
against either tough
It was a long, long night. It was hard-hitting all the way. It was tough (for either team) to get anything going against the defenses.
coach mind respect senior
The senior class, we made up our mind in the off season. You know, Coach Paterno wasn't getting the respect he deserved.
definitely fill football player shown spots three
I've definitely shown that I'm a football player also. I can do other things. I can fill two or three roster spots with one person.
definitely mean question
It would definitely mean a lot. But that's a question, if things go our way on Saturday, that's probably a question for after the game.
