On candidacy for the Heisman
“It’s amazing. It's a blessing. They’ve been doing a great job of pushing me out there. But it’s not just me. It’s a lot of people that play a part in that. My teammates have helped me get to that point. It’s been amazing. It’s been pretty fun. 

On the workload for the final two games
“I’m just taking it like any other game. Approaching it like any other game. Focusing just on Penn State this week, taking it day by day. Not looking too far ahead and just getting better each and every day. But I’m going to spend a lot of time on recovering my body and getting ready with Mitch (Cholewinski) and things like that to make sure I’m ready for the game. 

On the Penn State defense 
“They’re pretty solid on defense. We’ve got a pretty good game plan, so I’m really just confident in our guys.”
