You would think he's a fifth-year senior. He always wants the ball and wants to make plays, and that's what's been missing around here.

Oh my God. I have a lot of respect for him. Even a little bit more than I already had.

Don't let him fool you. He loves the attention.

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

They're in my ear, 'Tell 'em to throw it deep, Mike, throw it deep. They want the ball, and they're going to make some plays.

That's what I used to see Penn State do, back when they were winning. They never let up. If we made a big play, we'd throw another big play.

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.

People picked us to go sixth in the Big Ten, ... People said we should be happy with six or seven wins. Now we're on top of the Big Ten right now.

I'm anxious to see what our young receivers can do, man-on-man coverage, because I know teams aren't going to respect us at first.
