Quote of the day

“At about six in the morning, Coach [Paterno] came in and talked to us. And, it was pretty incredible. Actually, that didn’t happen. That doesn’t happen. And, he came and spoke to the team and he was like ‘hey, I’m sorry that this happened.’

“When this [being hired by Penn State] came to fruition, my roommates, my teammates, we still talked about that moment. Like, ‘oh man, remember we got caught in the lot.’ That is a very memorable game actually because of all that.”

—New PSU AD Pat Kraft on an experience as a player at Indiana with former Lions coach Joe Paterno.
