Michael Robinson Great Quotations

Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, they're great quarterbacks, but they're going to be a dying breed. Defenses are getting too fast. You can't have quarterbacks who are statues.

He has a lot to do with the success this year. As a quarterback, there is enough pressure on you as it is. Whenever I get on the phone on the sidelines with him, he always has a joke to tell you to calm you down. He's your friend. He does a great job relating for us.

He's had another year of becoming more familiar with the personnel, more familiar with what he has on the offensive side of the ball, but I think Galen is one of the best coaches in the country as far as coaching on game day. He does a great job making adjustments on the fly, and that's a hard skill to do.

He's gotten a little bit more acquainted with his players. He does a great job of adjusting on game day. He can just look at things and see what we need to do. He does a tremendous job of coaching on game day.

Our coaches have done a great job using what we have, and we have some speed on the outside, ... Coach Paterno said we were going to put the best players on the field. I've become a lot more comfortable under center, and the more games we play, the more comfortable I feel.

We never expect to lose. But that game we really didn't expect to lose. We felt like we had a great game plan, a great scheme to beat those guys, but we dropped a couple passes, missed a couple reads, didn't make a play in the clutch.

To think that people actually wanted him to give up the game, to call it quits -- I'm at a loss for words. He's a great coach.

Blocking downfield overall was great from the receivers.

It was tough feeling like you could do some things better than the other guy, but at the same time it was tough on Zack Mills, too. He's a great quarterback, and I learned a lot from him. ... I just think that God put me here for a reason, and if I can handle this, I can handle anything.

The thing that's great about AZ is he brings so much to the field. He does everything well physically and he's just a born leader. The players respond to him.

Coach Hall does a great job of adjusting on game day. He's one of the best I've ever seen. He will come in at halftime and say, 'Look, here are five running plays and six passing plays and we'll do it and win the game.' He sees things very well.

Coach Paterno is a great individual. I love that man. He's done so much for this university, so much for the game of football. I'm glad he went out there and proved everybody wrong.

I'm trying to stay focused on this game, focused on what we have to do. But this senior class has been through a lot. We've seen great seasons around here and we've seen a lot of bad seasons, some of the worst seasons in Penn State history.

He's a more patient runner now. Now, he lets things open up and then he hits them. Before he waited too long. Now, he hits them exactly when he's supposed to hit them. He has made great improvement, even from last year to this. He will be a big part of this offense this year.

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.

I definitely felt more comfortable in the pocket, ... The line did a great job. They kept everybody at the line of scrimmage, and I didn't really get rushed that much.

The line did a great job. The receivers got open. I had an easy job. All I had to do was put it out there and those guys ran underneath it.
