O’Brien absolutely has to continue the Paterno legacy. But he doesn’t have to do everything the same way to achieve that.

It never entered my mind that the raised index finger was about anyone but the plural we. There is the royal we and the plural we and Joe was always about the plural we.

I think we were at the game before the statue was erected – his 324th win. Wow, we were really part of history!
