Tuesday represented the end of an era: It was the last time an opposing Big Ten coach previewed a game against Trace McSorley. From Wisconsin’s Paul Chryst to Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz, the compliments made about Penn State’s quarterback have been endless — and they didn’t stop with Maryland interim coach Matt Canada.
“Great respect for him,” Canada told reporters Tuesday. “When you talk about the quarterback position, he is a winner. He finds a way to win. He’s done a tremendous job his entire career.”
Canada — who’s coaching in-place of the fired D.J. Durkin — saw McSorley operate first-hand before his time at Maryland.
