He’s done a total 180. He’s accountable to himself as a man, and it’s a credit to him.

I don’t know how many yards they got, but they didn’t do too much of anything. We went in there the same way; we didn’t do anything special.

We’ve always been doubted. For us (seniors) to create our own way, our own path up … that’s a hell of a story to be told.

As a whole, as a team, we have to fine tune our game. This is our first game and we have a long way to go until the Big Ten.

The thing about it is, Michael Robinson, Matthew Rice and me, you would think that we are fortune-tellers, the way we scripted the season up to this point. We predicted it all.

I feel wonderful. It’s something when you put your mind to it, battle all adversity and nobody giving us respect _ when you get what you wanted at the end, it makes it that much...

He was in on every tackle.

Even though we’ve had bad fortune in the past, we’ve always played O-State tough — always. They know that, and we know that. I can’t wait. This is what college football is all about —...

I’d probably spend some money on him to take a driving course. He doesn’t drive too well. He might need a chauffeur.

I really don’t bask in the glory of the ‘W’.

It’s always going to put the game into perspective. And it’s always going to put life into perspective.

It’s meant the world to me. I wouldn’t have it any other way than to play with those guys. The luxury of it is that we have one more game. We all have each other’s...

It drains on you physically and it drains on you mentally. You just gotta keep it together and press on.

The thing about great teams is if you don’t finish the story, it ain’t going to be a story that’s going to be remembered. We go out with a loss, it’s going to feel like...

That helps me get through any tough time in my life. There’s so many ways you can run away from it, but when push comes to shove, the truth is going to look you right...

I just feel like we’ve got it now. We got a little of what we were missing.

If you don’t finish the story, then it isn’t going to be a story. I feel in order to complete this story the way we want it, we have to go out with a win.

I didn’t believe in my own ability. I didn’t have confidence.

The [offense] feels like they can score on any play and that’s how we have to have it. Just like we feel like we can get a turnover on every play.

It’s very important. From the beginning of the season, I always told the media and the young guys understood this that it is up to us to teach these guys how to do it. Don’t...

It’s definitely about making big plays. I definitely like the problem where we score where we get the rock. That’s a little exclamation point.

We wouldn’t be where we’re at now (without him). None of you all would be talking to me. We probably wouldn’t even be in a bowl.

He was an immediate impact. That’s what I saw out there, he came out there and it was like he never left. He picked up right where he left off, and, with him out on...

Blue’ is out there with the sharks.

Getting these three wins puts a staple on the fact that this is a different team this year.

Knowing that we’ll never see each other again like this is going to be emotional. Regardless of what happens in this game, it’s about us as people. Not seeing their faces every day and joking...

Him not being here last year, you could really feel the absence. Hats off to him, that’s just the first game. The kind of player that he is, he can just play all out. Next...

We’re beginning a dynasty. We want to have something like USC. The way we (taught) the underclassmen I think we have a real good shot at doing that.

I always say that we’re the backbone of the team. We’re our toughest critics. … It’s just that we’ve got so many expectations for our defense, and we really want to go out there and...

That’s what everybody thought — and I can include myself. But I think Tony Hunt really took the bull by the horns.

We brought it all together today. We had a lot of good coverage in the secondary, and the quarterback wasn’t able to find his first read. Everyone was working hand in hand, and it led...

He tells me things that make my jaw drop.

When he threw the rock, I just converted on it.

When they say ‘No. 1 receiver in the nation,’ that’s the truth. He can be a possession receiver. The good thing is we’ve got a couple of other freshmen you guys don’t know about yet.

In the past, it was like, three-and-out and we’d be back on the field. Now, they’re scoring at will, and we’re back on the field. So we’re kind of playing the same role, except the...

It’s the same group of guys, mind you, that was the worst team in Penn State history.
