Joe Paterno Quotes

«I think Kelly has a little something about him, ... If I said to him, 'Go out and try a 55-yarder,' he wouldn't look at me and drop dead. I really do like Kelly, even if he is Irish. I think he has done a really good job for us.»
«We made up our mind that we would put Devin Fentress over there so that we wouldn't have to be in a position where we couldn't use King exclusively on offense, ... If something happens over there, you run out of options sooner or later.»
«I know sometimes you say, 'Ah, he is full of baloney,' ... I am telling you that the only thing I am worrying about right now is whether we can beat Purdue.»
«We have to understand that if you are going to be really good, you can't make some little mistakes. When (quarterback) Michael Robinson got sacked and fumbled the ball (last Saturday against South Florida) without knowing there was a backside guy coming, we had a terrible job done by someone.»
«A couple of passes we thought we could develop downfield and we didn't get a chance to, because Mike had to run for his life a couple times.»
«The fullback is a heck of a football player. I think Cincinnati is going to be tough. They have done a lot more offensively last year than they did last week.»
«Derrick Williams is one heck of a football player. You take a look at that run of Tony Hunt's and you see how he literally just busted his butt to get over there to make a play.»
«I wouldn't tell you what we're going to do [to try to stop Smith]. There's no question he's an awfully good football player, and he's got people around him. The tailback's a good player. The offensive line does a heck of a job. We'll have to do everything well.»
«He has to hang on to the football. The one thing about Tony that I have always worried about is that he has a tendency to be careless with the football. He is a good back. If he pays attention to the little things and spends a little bit more time with tapes and watching blocking schemes and things like that he can be even better than just a good back. He has speed and he is strong. He's a 225-pound tailback.»
«That kid is a good quarterback. He scrambles well and has got a lot of poise, but we let him off the hook too many times.»
