Title: JoPa quotes and more (from Penn State newspaper) Post by: Chechem on September 11, 2011, 06:44:33 AM Quote Tight end Brad Smelley took a direct snap from the center right through the middle of the line for the conversion. Tide coach Nick Saban said Smelley actually missed a wide hole on the outside that would have made the conversion less controversial. Penn State coach Joe Paterno said he felt the spot on the ball was questionable, but with all three timeouts gone on the opening drive, the Lions had no option but to accept the call. “Obviously it was a big play at that stage,” Paterno said. “It was debatable whether he made it or not, but that’s all part of it.” http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2011/09/10/missed_opportunities_hurt_penn_state_in_27-11_loss_to_alabama.aspx Title: Re: JoPa quotes and more (from Penn State newspaper) Post by: Chechem on September 11, 2011, 09:48:27 AM This article is worth a read. JoPa may finally accept defeat; his tone is conciliatory.

Penn State may have kicked a field goal, but would not have scored a touchdown. It took them two years - two football games - 7 quarters and 14 minutes to score their first TD.

I'll say this for him, he's about the most unemmotional head coach that I've ever seen.

Had it not been for the offense’s inability to compile many successful drives after their first, the defense may have had more success against McCarron, safety Drew Astorino said. So much for team spirit. :o |
