On the Penn State defense
“They want to rush the passers. They’re talented guys up front. That’s the strength of their defense, the strength of their team. They’re good players. A few guys are going to get drafted this upcoming draft. You’ve got to respect them. We’ve just got to have to stick to our game plan.”

On the Penn State pass rush
“These are the games you dreamed of playing, Happy Valley and hopefully a loud crowd. I don’t know if it’s going to be a whiteout or not but it’s a late night game against a great defensive line. It’s something I’ve always dreamed of as a kid.”

On playing Penn State in the playoffs last year 
“There was a lot of energy. It’s going to be loud. The defense is going to give you different looks, maybe one second and third down, usually after an explosive they’ll try to heat you up with some blitzes. But, they play hard, they run the ball. It’s going to be a full 60 minute game.”
