asked Strange postgame how he knew this was a Nick Singleton TD: 'I've seen it too many times already this year. That's how I knew he was gone. I've seen it. He gets out in open space, nobody's catching him. That boy's too fast. Too fast.'

Chuck Losey: “Chop’s phenomenal. I mean, Chop, he’s freaky in nature. He’s thrived in our system. His twitch, his suddenness, his ability to change directions the way that he does, he’s phenomenal. So he’s been great. I love Chop Robinson.”
Rams safety John Johnson III said a big reason he decided to do Choppa Style trolling is he didn't like the way the

Penn State safety KJ Winston got his first INT today: "It was unreal to me. After when I caught it and I looked down and seen the ball in my hands, that's when it finally hit, and it was shocking. ... It just felt great, and it's a great achievement. But it just felt amazing."
more Allar: "I think, last week, at the end of the game, [it] finally kind of clicked for me where I was just out there playing, not trying to be perfect or anything like that. ... That mentality is something that has kind of helped me get to this point & I don't want to lose…

Jahan Dotson to Penn State signee Kaden Saunders: “I promise you this will be the best decision you make in your lifetime. … I want you to break every single record possible at this school. I want you to have twice the career I had at this school."
Penn State is really going to miss Curtis Jacobs. beyond his play on the field, Jacobs has a genuine appreciation for the program’s history & those involved with it, which shows here. plus, he was always great to work with from a media perspective

Penn State QB Drew Allar on today: "It just feels like you're kind of just out there playing and just really smooth is how I kind of describe it. Once you find that rhythm, it's really hard to break it & I think you just need to stay in the moment & just stay calm & present."
Myles Dread is filling in on BTN tonight for Shon Morris, who apparently had travel issues getting to State College. another cool opportunity for the former Nittany Lion
Matt Painter on Micah Shrewsberry on BTN: He is a hell of a coach, man. I wish they weren’t so smart at Penn State that we could still have him at Purdue. Sandy made a hell of a hire.
