What Bowling Green’s head coach said about Penn State ahead of matchup at Beaver Stadium
Bowling Green head coach Scot Loeffler held a press conference Monday ahead of his Falcons’ matchup against Penn State in Beaver Stadium Saturday at noon. Here’s what Loeffler, who played quarterback at Michigan from 1993-1996 and was on the Wolverines’ staff from 1996-1999 and from 2002-2007, had to say about the Nittany Lions.
“Going to Happy Valley, been there many times. I think Coach Franklin and his staff has done an unbelievable job. You look at their talent and it’s as good [of a] Penn State team as I’ve seen in a long time. They don’t have too many holes at all, if any. And I think he’s done a super job recruiting, a super job developing the team, really well coached, super talented. They’ll make a run, in my opinion, for the Big Ten Championship. I think that’s the type of caliber of team that we’re facing this weekend.”
“I think both places are awesome to play at. I think this is my either eighth or ninth trip to Happy Valley. I think the student section rocks. Football is important at Penn State, as well as it is in Ann Arbor. It’s one of those top five special places in the country, and the people do an unbelievable job supporting their team. And just like I said, this team reminds me a lot of the Michigan team last year. I think they’re super talented. I think they’ve got every piece that it takes to win it, and very impressed and not shocked that Coach Franklin has done such a good job of developing such a great roster.”
“We’ve played in some really great places, Tennessee, the Big House, and then now going to Happy Valley. There’s a lot of challenge to it. There’s a lot of challenge with communication. We got to be on point. We got to know exactly what to do, because it is hard to hear. It is a loud place, the student section will be rocking and rolling. There’ll be an unbelievable amount of people when you’re just warming up. I remember always taking the quarterbacks out to warm up there, and the entire student section is packed whenever we were the first people to go out to warm up. So it’s important there, they do a great job with supporting their team.”
