either practice
When you go on the practice field, two things are going to happen. You're either going to get better, or you're going to get worse.
against either tough
It was a long, long night. It was hard-hitting all the way. It was tough (for either team) to get anything going against the defenses.
guys plays stepped
I think we're pretty much comfortable with any one of those guys in the backfield. They've all stepped up and made big plays this preseason. We feel comfortable with any of those guys going.
criticize helped jay people talking
Jay has helped me a lot. Those people that criticize him really don't know what they're talking about.
answer best fit shocked whatever
I said, 'Man, I just don't see where I fit in here. His answer actually shocked me. He said, 'Well, Mike, whatever you do, I'll still be your boy. Do what you have to do and do what's best for you.' That reaction, that response, made me look at things in a different light.

Playing for Paterno is all good. Nothing has changed since the days we were losing. We never left our eyes off the prize and I'm just fortunate enough to be here as part of this team.

I tell them all the time, you have to make plays first before we'll get any respect from a secondary.

Joe has complete control of this team, honestly.

While we respect the court, we disagree with the court's decision and we look forward to taking our case to the Court of Appeals.
drive felt halftime upset
That drive was all about heart. Derrick was kind of upset at halftime because he felt like he could do some things on the outside, but we weren't getting him the ball. I told him to be patient.
disgusted felt sad trip
Long, long trip home. Long, sad trip home. We felt disgusted with ourselves.
believed everybody job team time
That was probably the time everybody on the team believed I could get the job done.
