ball catching great guys huge job nine plus return somebody starting teddy tone
Our punt return game, those guys have done a great job up front, plus Tone (Holmes) and Teddy (Ginn Jr.) back in the back. Somebody told me (the Aztecs) had nine three-and-outs. When they're starting with the ball on their 11 and they're having a three-and-out, and our punt-returners are catching the ball around midfield, that's huge for the offense.
five games last malcolm start time year
You just never know (about recruits). So who will do it? I don't know that any of us at this time last year would have thought ... (freshman) Malcolm Jenkins would start five games at cornerback.
alone line opposition return start translate valuable
That alone is a very valuable weapon. If you take the return out of the formula, and make the opposition start at their 20-yard line that often, that has to translate into a big field-position advantage.
exactly obviously outline start
Who will start or exactly who will play when, obviously we're not going to outline it for you today.
both football planning stands starting
For this football game, as it stands right now, yeah, we've got two starting quarterbacks, ... We're planning to play both guys.
both game justin start work
If the first game was today, Justin would start and Troy would probably play significantly. We'll go into preseason where both Justin and Troy will get work with the first group.
ball consistent evolve fact felt good season spread starting ten
We felt going into the Big Ten season if we could evolve to the fact where we always had a 100-yard back, then we could probably spread the ball around enough to have a good offense. We're starting to get consistent with that.
bit decided defense shut startled
After the first play of the game, our defense dominated. After we were startled a little bit ... our defense decided no more of that and shut them down.
anxious ball conference dropped everybody football great physical ready shown side start strong team ten throughout tough university
We're anxious to get into Big Ten play. I think the Big Ten is going to be a very, very tough conference this year. As you look at everybody from side to side and throughout the conference, they've had some tough ball games, they've had some great wins. I just think it's going to be a very strong league, and we start out with an awfully strong one with the university of Iowa. They're a physical football team. They have dropped a game, but they didn't have their quarterback that day. They're just an outstanding team as they've shown over the years, and we have to be ready to compete.
add coaches foul guy huge replay start
I'm probably not a huge replay guy to start with, and now you add the coaches challenge? It's one more thing I can foul up.
across against bit consistency discuss downs lack likes moment playing points start talk ten three work yards
Absolutely. I think the consistency, or lack thereof -- where we are at this moment is not where you'd like to be after three games. We haven't done little things across the board. Everyone likes to discuss what we haven't done at quarterback, but we could talk a little bit about all the way down the line, where we need to get a lot better. We need to get a lot better fast, because when you start playing against the Big Ten defenses, yards and first downs and points are even more difficult. So we've got a lot of work to do and we've just got to get at it.
stand starting
As we stand right now, yeah, I'd say we have two starting quarterbacks.
against bit discuss downs likes line playing points start talk ten yards
Everyone likes to discuss what we haven't done at quarterback, but we could talk a little bit all the way down the line about where we need to get a lot better, ... We need to get a lot better fast, because when you start playing against the Big Ten defenses, yards and first downs and points are even more difficult.
joe ncaa penn supposed
I thought that was the way it was supposed to be. You really become a part of the community, part of the institution. Joe Paterno is not just a part of Penn State, but a part of NCAA football.
