That's probably what I'm going to miss the most, to be honest with you,

Derrick's a very unique player. He has exceptional speed. We were able to line him up at running back sometimes. I don't know if we have another player on our roster like that.

Derrick was one of these rare freshmen who knew he was good before he got here. He would look at me and say, 'I'm going to be open,' and that attitude filtered down to all the receivers.

It means a lot. Coach Paterno has gone through a lot of criticism. ... I can't believe people wanted him to leave. We definitely finished it like we wanted to finish it.

It's the Big Ten and anything can happen, ... But I never thought I'd be out of the game before the second quarter was over.

It's not that much of a difference from the last couple years. We were just a couple players away from our record being totally different. Coach really hasn't changed much. It's just that the results have changed.

I told myself that, Mike, you can overcome adversity on the field, ... In the past when things didn't go right, I started to hang my head and it was like a snowball effect.

I told him he should have scored a touchdown. I told him he's got to get some lead in his butt a little bit and run some people over.

It was emotional, being our last home game. But what a way to go out.

It was emotional, but what a great way to go out, playing a great team like Wisconsin. It was hard-fought and they never quit. There were a lot of times in that game where they could have quit but they kept pushing.
