figure help kid people run seen shot three willing
But I'm a realist. People have seen me run the ball. People have seen me catch. They figure this kid can help us with two or three roster spots. I'm more than willing to do that. I just want a shot at quarterback.
believe people
I can¹t believe people wanted him to leave.
definitely everybody felt great kept line rushed
I definitely felt more comfortable in the pocket, ... The line did a great job. They kept everybody at the line of scrimmage, and I didn't really get rushed that much.
coach leaving maybe
I don't see him leaving soon. Maybe he can coach my kid.
attitude filtered freshmen good knew rare
Derrick was one of these rare freshmen who knew he was good before he got here. He would look at me and say, 'I'm going to be open,' and that attitude filtered down to all the receivers.
line player running unique
Derrick's a very unique player. He has exceptional speed. We were able to line him up at running back sometimes. I don't know if we have another player on our roster like that.
honest miss
That's probably what I'm going to miss the most, to be honest with you,
ball coming gotta guys king player players
That started everything. King coming in and making a big play like that started everything. He's a big-time player and big-time players show up in big-time situations. He's one of those guys we gotta get the ball to.
bit lead people run
I told him he should have scored a touchdown. I told him he's got to get some lead in his butt a little bit and run some people over.
adversity hang head overcome past
I told myself that, Mike, you can overcome adversity on the field, ... In the past when things didn't go right, I started to hang my head and it was like a snowball effect.
changed coach couple difference last players record results totally
It's not that much of a difference from the last couple years. We were just a couple players away from our record being totally different. Coach really hasn't changed much. It's just that the results have changed.
joe
It's Joe Paterno. What more can I say. Who wouldn't want to play for Joe Paterno?
bit football happens hopefully levels
It was just a little bit of miscommunication like that. It happens, ... It happens at all levels of football and hopefully we can get that corrected.
coach heard
Once I heard what it was ... me and coach had it out.
