For Cefalo, who spoke at Paterno’s 2012 memorial, the past five years haven’t changed his view of his late coach.
If there were a way to track the reactions to the Joe Paterno Bonanza awaiting us on Saturday in State College – if it were possible to do it scientifically – “why?” would lead the way. The former Marian Catholic standout will be the Owls’ starting center when they play at Penn State on Saturday.
Penn State announced on September 1 that it planned to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Paterno’s first game at the school – a 15-7 win over Maryland on September 17, 1966 – but declined to provide any details at the time.
“Coach Paterno wanted academic success not only for his players but also for every student who came through Penn State”, Barbour said.
Before the game, former players Franco Harris and Lydell Mitchell greeted fans at the former site of the Paterno statue. College Football Hall of Famer Lydell Mitchell, who played at Penn State from 1969 to 1971, signed autographs and chatted with fellow supporters there. Also before previous year Temple was riding a cool 31-game winless stretch against the Nittany Lions, which included 24 losses in State College and one tie.
In the third quarter, Penn State tight end Mike Gesicki channeled his inner Odell Beckham Jr.
Stewart, a Central Catholic High graduate, lives in San Francisco, where he founded the nonprofit Beyond the Locker, which teaches life skills to kids through sports.
“The key word is legacy”, former National Football League tight end Tony Stewart said on Saturday (via the Morning Call).
Penn State’s game against Temple figured to draw plenty of controversy, and not for the events on the field.

Paterno was famous for trying to turn just about everyone into a linebacker, most notably NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly, who wound up going to Miami instead. But that allowed redshirt freshman running back Andre Robinson to score his first touchdown, a 3-yard run with a Davis kick to put Penn State back on top with 2:50 left in the first quarter.
“We were disrupting practice to stay committed to academics”, Lance Hamilton said. I am proud of my Penn State education and degree, but I am embarrassed by numerous actions that the school’s leaders have taken in the name of sports or the great JoePa. “It’s just kind of what I did, trying to have some fun with them, trying to loosen them up. That right there is my fondest memory of Joe”.
Penn State athletic director Sandy Barbour says this will be a celebration of how Paterno and his wife, Sue, “helped countless students become leaders and earn a Penn State diploma”.
Powell played on Paterno’s last team in 2011 when the Jerry Sandusky scandal broke and his head coach was sacked. This is Joe Paterno, the difference-maker.
Two days before the football team’s game against Temple at Beaver Stadium, the university released details about its plan to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Paterno’s first game and victory as head coach. We know the truth so people can think whatever they want.
