bowl football taking waiting
He's taking it OK. He understands he's still a young guy. He has a lot of football to play. He's waiting to see if he can make it back for a bowl or not.
anyone deep good guys hurt pass patterns people running
He's one of those guys that people really don't think can hurt you, but he can. He's probably as good at running the deep pass patterns as anyone we got on the team. He's making the most of his opportunities.
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.
hurt scare supposed tactic wound
He said it was just supposed to be a scare tactic to wound him, not hurt him like he did.
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.

bad class focused great penn seasons seen senior state stay trying worst
I'm trying to stay focused on this game, focused on what we have to do. But this senior class has been through a lot. We've seen great seasons around here and we've seen a lot of bad seasons, some of the worst seasons in Penn State history.
came definitely fans hands low obligation players somebody talks team turn
He always talks about 'I'm not going to put the team in somebody else's hands while we're at a low point. He definitely doesn't want to turn the team over and us not be good. I definitely feel he has an obligation to all the fans and the players who came before us. We feel the same way.
