Terry Smith says he's willing to do whatever he can to help Penn State win

Terry Smith says he's willing to do whatever he can to help Penn State win in his role as the interim head football coach of the Nittany Lions.

Smith, who was named interim head coach of the team on Sunday following the firing of James Franklin , addressed the media on Monday at a press conference alongside athletic director Pat Kraft.

"We need to get back to enjoying ball, being tough, gritty and passionate," Smith said. "All I want to do is help Penn State be successful and win. I'm sitting in this press conference because we didn't win enough."
