Penn State's Anthony Zettel wears Halloween mask during postgame interviews

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Don’t tell Penn State’s Anthony Zettel he won’t do something.

The 284-pound defensive tackle already does a mean Bigfoot impersonation and tackled a tree earlier this season. So when a teammate told him Saturday he wouldn’t wear a hockey mask -- like Jason Voorhees from "Friday the 13th" -- Zettel saw a Halloween challenge he couldn’t back down from.

So, after beating Illinois 39-0 and ringing the victory bell, Zettel walked into the interview room with the mask. And spoke to reporters in the mask.
