See the link below. From the article:
"He didn’t see the field in Pasadena and saw limited reps throughout the season after losing out on the starting quarterback job in fall camp, but Stevens kept a positive attitude during Penn State’s improbable run.
“A lot of success for the team is really all that matters,” Stevens said. “It’s been fun. When I get my chance, I try to make the most of it.”"
On the Iowa touchdown:
"“It was pretty funny,” he recalled. “I started running on the field and Trace started running off the field. I guess he thought I was going in to take over mid-series. I was like, ‘No, no, no stay.’ Then it clicked for him.
“I lined up in the slot, and there’s this mass confusion. Their defensive end just stood up, looked over and started pointing. Everybody was freaking out. They never really got it figured out because it was still madness when I was coming in motion. The rest just kind of happened.”
It wasn’t a play normally drawn up for backup quarterbacks, but in many ways Stevens isn’t a conventional No. 2. His dual-threat ability makes him a seamless fit for Joe Moorhead’s read-pass-option offense, and the size is a mismatch for most defenses."
On not being the starter:
"Stevens fell short of earning the No. 1 spot once before, but he’ll keep pushing for it.
“It was disappointing not to get the job. That’s what you work for,” Stevens said. “As far as accepting your role, it’s doing what you’ve got to do moving forward. You’ve got to accept your role. I wouldn’t necessarily say that it was okay, because I’m never accepting the backseat.
“I said earlier in the season that it didn’t really matter what happened. Whether I won or lost the job, I’d still work hard. I think I held true to that.”"

Stevens seems to be a great teammate. From a limited sampling, I like his game. McSorley is the starter, but I think Stevens could handle the job well if needed.
