Petrino: "We're not gonna panic. We're gonna keep working, and get it right."

Petrino on the Penn State game: "We gotta have 10, 12-play drives."


Koenning: "..I was very proud of our guys..[they] rose up, that game could have gotten to a really bad place.."

Koenning: "Statistics are for losers, but there was a lot of positives, particularly in the 2nd half --- those two [1st half] drives killed us, those 90-something yard drives.."

Koenning: "We just can't miss tackles."

Koenning: "The plays were there, we just didn't make 'em."

Koenning: "Yeah we lost the game, but I'm not gonna sit there and say that having good practices didn't translate into [having a] decent performance in the game.."


Scheelhaase: "As far as what happened on Saturday, it wasn't anything that they were doing, it was just [our lack of] execution."

Q: "Does it get guys mad when people hop off the bandwagon?"

Scheelhaase: "Not really, because I guess it was a new feeling to have people *on* the bandwagon to be honest with you."

Q: "And what was that like?"

Scheelhaase: "It was cool. It was a nice I guess, but maybe it was too nice."

Scheelhaase: "We're used to having an empty bandwagon to pull.."

Scheelhaase: "It can change dramatically with one win. One win or one lose.."
