DAN LANNING
— Penn State is schematically as challenging as anyone they’ll play
— On pass defense: Been playing a lot of guys, rush and coverage are playing well together.
— “Switch is already flipped” to Penn State
— Dante Moore took what was there and made some plays with his legs. Two-minute drill was big again.
— Penn State “will be a real challenge for us.”
— On fake punt: Executed the look they thought could be there but also had options if not.
— Dakorien Moore “is a tough guy to guard” 1-on-1.
— On rivalry: “It certainly means a ton to us.” Says it resonates more when on Thanksgiving weekend but still means a lot to the team.
— “We gave them some things” early on and got better as game went on.
— “Overall, operated well.” Got to be cleaner on penalties.
— On fake punt: “We had an opportunity to go run that play and he executed it to perfection.”
