The best game of the season! This was an unbelievable effort from every player. I can't tell you how happy this victory makes me. We did everything right. First, we played defense like there was no tomorrow. Then, we played offense, like every player knew exactly what every other player was doing AND thinking. Everything we touched turned to gold. And, this was simply no accident. All your hard work throughout every practice, every day, paid off handsomely. You are a good team; this is obvious. That you care so much about the success of all your teammates, is the one reason the team does so well. You simply don't care who gets the credit for the final goal. You realize that the goal is simply the result of everyone doing his own job. I wish the season weren't going to end next weekend. This is one team I would love to take to Finland. You all deserve it so much. Congratulations on one of the best wins I can ever remember!

Sloppiness is a disease. Nobody ever built a great organization just worrying about the big things. It's the little things that give you the edge. If the equipment manager in the locker room doesn't check his equipment properly, the player senses it, the sloppiness gets into his bloodstream and the disease spreads. The important thing is to find people who are committed to detail and to standards of excellence. -- Joe Paterno
