How much more can this Penn State football team take?
“To be quite honest with you, we’re thinking like what do we need to do? Why?”
“Since our first loss, it just stacked on. I don’t know the solution."

Was King Mack surprised by how Fernando Mendoza kept getting up after taking hit after hit?

Strange but true: Penn State could push for the school record of NFL Draft picks this April (record is 10, set in 1996) & yet this team could go 3-9.
"Watching the UCLA tape, the Northwestern tape, this is like the one guy who is a bright spot.”

QB coach Danny O'Brien said having Drew Allar back around the team has been good for all of them. He's about to go watch film with Ethan Grunkemeyer.
"He's 21 years old and his best football is ahead of him," O'Brien said of Allar.

Don't forget about Penn State's need to also hire a GM to manage the financial side of the roster.
That's something to keep in mind with the next HC and who he brings with him.

Safety King Mack: "My head is where my feet are. ... Whenever that time comes (with the next coach) then that'll be my focus, but as of right now I'm worried about us in the locker room and worried about us keeping our head in the right space so we can perform on Saturday."
