Michael Robinson Ball Quotations

I wouldn't say we work on ball control, ... It comes down to the game situation -- if we have a lead, what we want to do in a particular drive. Sometimes Coach Paterno will come over to me and say, 'If you get a chance to throw it deep, see if we can hit it.'

I can handle any position that I may switch to, but I think probably the easiest position that suits my strengths is running back. I'm a guy that really needs the ball in his hands.

This is definitely one of the highlights of my life and my career. This football team definitely came out and wanted to show people some things.

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.

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.

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.

It wasn't always throwing to them. I'd put the ball down, put the receivers gloves on and go out there and run with them. And they responded to that. They soaked it all in. These kids, they all know how to win. And they brought that attitude to our football team.

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.

I've definitely shown that I'm a football player also. I can do other things. I can fill two or three roster spots with one person.

I just hope I showed people that I'm a football player and when coached I can go out there and you can put me anywhere and I can succeed.
