“This group of players just needs to learn that it's a fast-paced game and they've got to play hard and play fast all the time. There's no better lesson than getting your butt kicked at home.”
“I was pleased with the response that my team showed after giving up a goal. They put their shoulders back and fought harder, and ultimately that's what you are looking for from a young team.”
“Penn State's defense was good; I think we had opportunities that we weren't willing to take half chances. I've got young players right now that want every goal to be a World Cup-quality goal. A toe poke counts just as much as a bicycle kick so we have to take chances and shoot the ball more.”
“I think it will help we are the best when we are playing at home. We are very comfortable here at the Jesse, and we are very comfortable with the fans rallying behind us.”
“Beating Penn State is not going to be an easy task no matter how you stretch it, whether it's at their place or at our place. I think being at home gives us that bit of an advantage. It's always tough to play here and it's always tough to play at their place. We certainly prefer to be going into this game being at the Jesse.”
