Give credit to Penn State, their fans.
We're really proud of our team, man.
Like, we didn't listen to all that you guys had to say on the outside.
This group doesn't really care.
Nobody in the world gave them a chance to come in and win this game.
And we did it.
We did it our way.

and uh i mean he had zero flinch in his eye he
was ready to go everybody that knows him

this morning that he'd be starting
and he played his butt off, and a lot of guys did.
A lot of guys battled through some stuff.
A lot of warriors out there, but Vlad was tremendous.
I mean, that environment, playing left tackle, I mean,
you can't say enough about him.
Incredible job.
