hey jordan um i guess just looking at the defense in in the minnesota game
um it seems like a lot changed from early in the game to the fourth quarter and particularly
those last three stops um what do you think made the difference there on those final drives um
i just feel like we had a lot of guys step up towards the end of the game um a lot of leaders
a lot of veteran leadership and we just we just knew that we had to give our offense a chance
is there anything you can um tangibly take from that like hey we did this and it worked and now
we're going to do that in the in the next game i want to say there's one specific thing but towards
the end of the game it was a lot better stopping the run which we hadn't been all game and what was
kind of the key to stopping the run just everybody doing their job not not doing somebody else's job
just do your own job and i felt like we had a lot more of that towards the end of the game
go to lila hey jordan how are you how are you doing good um i know lia had mentioned after the
game just kind of how locks had been saying like telling the team how you know how much faith they
had in uh petrino and kind of saying that he viewed as they you guys had the best um kicker
in college football just as a team what gives you so much faith in a guy like that and just kind of
that trust you guys have in him i think we just see his work ethic every day we see him
every day at practice and he hits some amazing kicks every day and he's a hard worker so i mean
everybody has faith in him when it comes to the game and just what was going for your uh your
mind as you know he was kicking that 51 yarder i never lost confidence i didn't i didn't think
he would miss it um i think complete confidence that he would he would he would make that one
thank you go to shane hey hey jordan i'm shane connor currently with the uh the diamondback
so i wanted to ask you about you guys now on friday you opened up your season at home you got
an exciting win you guys are running around the field after the game but obviously with 2020 there
are no fans there cheering you know it's pretty quiet how tough was it for you would you say
personally and how do you feel you were impacted by the lack of fans the momentum was a little bit
different but that's that's what the guys on the sideline are for they they kept us going the whole
game just cheering on and stuff it's definitely a little different but it it just makes it it's more
like a scrimmage it's like a scrimmage uh against a different team you gotta bring your own energy
was there anything that you could compare that to like you know maybe playing in high school even at
lower levels like do you feel that high school games and you back then kind of at haverford i
think had more of a uh more of an you know energy and all that than this did i mean some games when
we got the uh when we got the crowd in there definitely but that's what football at the
end of the day is still football uh fans are no fans i think the better team will most likely win
thank you jordan i'm proud to thank you
michael ferrara hey jordan thanks for taking the time today um you know you're a junior and you've
seen penn state and there's been a lot of new faces on this defense what's the biggest thing
that you and nick you know playing penn state last year that you've been giving some advice
to some of the new guys facing uh you know uh clifford and you know coach franklin's offense
uh they're just a sound def they're a sound offense everybody got to do their job we know
that they they're very talented they have a very talented backfield with the running
backs we know that their tight end is elite and they got some white out so just everybody
has to understand their assignment and do what they need to do to let us win
we'll go to ed
jordan i'm not sure how often practice you go up against the first first offense but when you
face a mobile quarterback who can get out of the pocket and extend plays how does that impact what
the secondary how the secondary can defend that y'all work on your uh plaster technique plastic
technique is really just once the quarterback gets out the pocket closest wide receiver to you
you basically got him man for the rest of the down um we do that a lot during practice when
uh taulia gets out of the pocket it's just it just helps us learn how to cover better
how much more difficult is it though to limit a mobile quarterback like to lia if he's able to use
his legs and feet and get out of pocket um you got you got to run some different uh fronts defense
defensively uh defensive line you might even put a spy on them so that that's one less person in
coverage so that that that's a big big difference are you kind of glad you don't have to face
a guy like lia because of his mobility definitely definitely he's definitely definitely fun to watch
thanks thanks jordan no problem
