This might be the most physical team I've had so far here at Penn State.

We're getting better every weekend but at the same time we're up and down. In order to win the Big Ten, we're going to have to steady out and play at our top level all the time to accomplish all our goals we want to this year.

I don't think we played as well last weekend. We had an up-and-down week of practice and it showed this weekend. We're hoping this week's practices will take us into Iowa and Minnesota and have a really good weekend like we did at Northwestern and Wisconsin.
