It was a great message from Driver to the team.
Penn State enters the Cotton Bowl with a 10-2 record, with its only losses coming to Minnesota and Ohio State. Memphis is 12-1 on the season and was the highest ranked Group of Five team this year.
The Nittany Lions are searching for their third 11-win season in the last four years.
