My goal this year is to work as hard as I can for the guys, and to have as much fun as I can. I've grown very close to this senior class, so I'd like this to be the best year of all.

I liked the way we kept answering them. Our offense was really effective, and our defense was just tough.

Recently, a professor at Penn State told my son Joshua's class that during a trip to Africa, he had a mysterious encounter with a witch doctor of a tribe. He watched with horror as this witch doctor put a man into a trance and made the man put his face into burning coals and move them around with his nose on the ground. The man received no burns and wasn't even aware of the sensation of burning his flesh. The professor, being a committed naturalist, had no way to understand this obviously satanic phenomena. His scientific model didn't include any supernatural cause, whether it be godly or satanic. He admitted this fact to the class. He said that he saw what happened yet he did not believe it, because he couldn't fit it into what he called his scientific model . . . If their presuppositions rule out the supernatural, that is that! There is no more.

His velocity is so much better this spring than it was before. You can see the work ethic is paying off for him in a lot of ways.

I did it to remind them that they need to work. That work ethic is starting to pay off.

We played as a team. It was all about hard work.
