Opening Statement: I would like to take a moment and share and give my thoughts and prayers to Coach [Tony] Elliott, to UVA football, all the family and friends, and the entire UVA community.
Found out through Coach [Anthony] Poindexter who worked there for a long time and is an alum.
But just, it’s really hard to even fathom. We send our thoughts and prayers, and if there is anything that we can do as a Penn State community, obviously we would do that. It’s hard to even put into words.
Changing subjects here, wanted to wish the best of luck to Coach Char [Morett-Curtiss] and our field hockey team, which is awesome, in the Final Four. They play UNC on Friday, so wish them the best of luck.
Then also Coach [Erica] Dambach and women’s soccer as he they host West Virginia on Friday. I hope everybody will come out and support them, second round of the NCAA tournament. Awesome to see the success that they had in the Big Ten Tournament; got on a roll. We were watching at my radio show one night when they won and I think actually Coach Dambach was there last Thursday before we were able to wish her the best of luck. So that’s awesome to see.

But Joey had appendicitis. That’s what happened. Obviously, I wouldn’t release any medical information without clearing it with the family first, but I don’t like the fact that there has been some miss-reporting out there. I don’t really understand how that happens. It did, so I wanted to clear it up.
Moving on to Maryland, we talk about the stats that we focus on all the time is the turnover battle, and we tied that one. We had one late in the game. Penalty battle, we won that. The drive start battle, we won that. Sack battle, we won that significantly. The explosive play battle, not only did we win that battle, but we also met our offensive and defensive goals.
Our players of the game, on…
