Opening Statement
Super proud of our team and our players. We refused to lose in the bleakest, more dire moments when it looked impossible. On the two-yard line with no time outs, barely a minute to go, and haven’t done anything offensively in quite a while. The quarterback’s been taking a lot of shots all game. To all of the sudden start making plays like, we made incredible plays, and score at the end like that, it’s a game of inches. It truly is. And the team refused to lose. I’m proud of this football team. Now, tape tomorrow will give me a lot of things we won’t be proud of, but Penn State’s a good football team, and maybe they found their quarterback too. A guy that can lead them to more wins the rest of the season here. It was the most improbable victory I’ve ever been a part of and there couldn’t have been a better place to make it happen.
Q: After taking the lead in the second half, what was the issue that bogged you down on offense?
A: You’ve got to keep the quarterback in rhythm, and when that ball is coming out quick out of his hands; when you do that, good things happen, And when you hold the ball, bad things happen.
Q: Right after you guys went down, did you see anything on the players faces or was there anything said between players that you could tell that they were going to find a way here?
A: You know, we’ve been in a lot of two-minute situations, just flashbacks in my mind. A little bit of a similar situation in fall camp that we’re in where we scored touchdowns. And this one’s no different, and all of a sudden, we started making those plays.
