Yeah, most definitely we still think of ourselves as underdogs and rightfully so because we haven't done so well the last couple years. The more I don't read about us, the more I still believe that we're still not getting respect.
Those are some of the things that we have to hit. We weren't hitting those plays last year. Now we have two or three guys that can make those plays. Last year I was the only one they sent deep. But we have some guys that can stretch the field.
We wanted to come back from last week, ... We were really excited going into this game. Joe (coach Joe Paterno) had to tell us to calm down a few times.
You would think the world has changed a little bit over the last 20 years. But it happens. People have the right to be able to say what they want to say. We continue to win games, so it doesn't really bother me.
It was emotional, being our last home game. But what a way to go out.
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.
He's a more patient runner now. Now, he lets things open up and then he hits them. Before he waited too long. Now, he hits them exactly when he's supposed to hit them. He has made great improvement, even from last year to this. He will be a big part of this offense this year.
Galen was very quiet last year. He did what he did, but he was very quiet. Now he?s more out there. He?s yelling, getting on people. That comes from him knowing his personnel a little bit more, knowing what he has and being able to do whatever he needs to do with it.
