The Lions' Pride

Feel pretty good about the quarterbacks, have to watch the film. All three guys have made plays, we've asked a lot of them. It takes time. Different guys learn at different rates. We have to let it soak and them make a decision headed into training camp on who we're going with or who the top two are.

I have to go back and talk about some things as a staff. I think the scoring went well. There's a bunch of points on the scoreboard. I wanted to reward the defense. It's ahead of the offense right now, that's to be expected. I'm not saying it's the most exciting game in the world, but I said it wouldn't be. I think it was a great day for Penn State football.

Been really happy with Bill Belton. He's a smart guy, a quiet guy who works. When they moved him, he's picked up a little more. He's got to take better care of the football. That's something we'll talk to him about. He's had a good spring and we're happy with that position switch.

We have a good group of tight ends. We'll have to look at that. Passes were completed all over the place. We're still evaluating this team and see who we should be spreading the ball to. Hopefully that will be balanced.

Pocket awareness is big in evaluating quarterbacks. We talk about a lot of things, young quarterbacks don't always get that. I thought it got a little better today. All three of those guys I saw climbing the pocket and stepping up and making a good throw. I was happy how they did that at times.

There was a guy, I think his number was 25, who ran around a little bit but that's all I remember.

I've learned many, many things. I've met so many people, I wouldn't be able to pick out one thing. They just talk about what a special place this is and what it means to so many people. I know this is the place that I'm very proud to be the head football coach here. The program is a part of a great athletic department and a special University.

The communication factor is a big part of it. I wish we would have done this one more time this spring. A lot of us have worked together. You get on the headset and you know what one guy is looking for. It's like rising a bike. We'll get in here during camp for one or two more scrimmages.

We a rough last couple of days. TJ Rhattigan had a knee. James Van Fleet, knee in practice. He's a great kid. You hate to lose everybody. We met with the parents here this morning about the violence of the sport. I'm confident in our medical team.

That's a bummer. I think he was the one that was so excited about starting.

Very interesting comment. In a good way.

My favorite part of the whole game was that play where he scrambled for at least 10 seconds and finally found an open man downfield, and right after he completed the pass he runs over and smacks BOB in the @$$.
