It's a total package. Which all goes back to coaching. Even a toddler might've coached this offense to eight or nine wins, and Paterno isn't garnering many comparisons to Bill Walsh. But he has done the best thing he could. It doesn't really matter.
Responses vary, depending on who's doing the talking.
Some take a modest approach. I know we played as well as we could play. Some take a middle ground. Some don't bother mixing words. I'm not sure that there's been a better offense that's played college football.
