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.'
penn state throw
That's what I used to see Penn State do, back when they were winning. They never let up. If we made a big play, we'd throw another big play.

To think that people actually wanted him to give up the game, to call it quits -- I'm at a loss for words. He's a great coach.

Blocking downfield overall was great from the receivers.
