MALLOYS ENDOW HEAD FOOTBALL COACH POSITION IN HONOR OF PATERNO Patrick and Candace Malloy have committed $5 million to create the Malloy Paterno Head Football Coach Endowment at Penn State. In December 2007, on the eve of Joe Paterno’s induction into the College Football Hall of Fame, the two longtime friends of the Paterno family announced their intention to endow the position that Coach Paterno has held since 1966. The endowment is the largest individual gift in the history of Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics. The Malloys, of Key Largo, Fla., said they intend their gift to honor not only the coach’s achievements on the field, but also the values that Joe Paterno and his wife, Sue, share off the field with players and the University community. The University invests endowed gifts in perpetuity and uses a portion of the annual income for the purposes intended by the donor. The remaining income is added to the principal to protect it from inflation and ensure its growth. Income from the Malloy Paterno Head Football Coach Endowment will be directed, at the head coach’s discretion and with approval from the director of athletics, to purposes ranging from academic support and special medical care for team members, to expenses associated with recruitment of student-athletes and coaching expenses, excluding salary supplements.

John

THOMAS

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING COACH

AMONG THE SELECT FEW INDIVIDUALS IN THE WORLD NAMED

MASTER STRENGTH & CONDITIONING COACH BY THE COLLEGIATE STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING COACHES ASSOCIATION.

Some intense coaching is done out of sight of Penn State fans. John Thomas has a low profile on game-day, but his high profile position as strength and conditioning coach is an important element of the Nittany Lions’ football success. Thomas, in his 19th season as a member of the Penn State football family, is front and center in the weight room where he monitors the team’s strength and conditioning activities. Thomas’ experience, desire for improvement and rapport with the student-athletes have made him a popular and vital friend amongst the staff and players. His strenuous regimen throughout the year has been most evident during “winning time,” as the Lions’ conditioning has helped them secure numerous victories in the fourth quarter. Thomas was recognized for his achievements with his selection in 2002 for the title of Master of Strength and Conditioning Coach, a title then held by just 26 people worldwide. In 1997, he was named National Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coach-of-theYear by the Professional Strength and Conditioning Coaches Society. Thomas arrived at Penn State in 1992 after two years as a strength coach at the U.S. Military Academy, first as an assistant and then as the head of Army’s strength and conditioning program. A graduate of Muskingum College in New Concord, Ohio, Thomas was a four-year starter for the Fighting Muskies. He played defensive tackle for two years and offensive guard for two more. As a senior in 1983, he was the offensive co-captain, won a spot on the All-Ohio Valley Athletic Conference first-team, earned his teammates’ nod as the team’s most valuable offensive player and was a second-team selection on the Pizza Hut Division III All-America team. Following his graduation with a bachelor’s degree in health and physical education, Thomas spent two years as a graduate assistant football and strength coach at Toledo. He moved to the University of the South, where he coached the defensive (1986) and offensive lines (1987-89) and served as strength training assistant in football and strength coach for baseball. Thomas arrived at West Point after the 1989 football season to serve as head strength and conditioning coach for the Academy’s comprehensive program. Thomas is married to the former Kelly Sims of Huntland, Tenn., and they have two sons, Jacob (17) and Logan (15), and daughter, Grace (10).

TEAMED UP IN BUSINESS

Franco Harris (34) and Lydell Mitchell (23) were teammates in the Penn State backfield from 196971, helping the Nittany Lions to a 294 record. The former college and pro gridiron greats teamed up again 25 years later, with Harris leading a group of investors, including Mitchell, in the purchase (above) of Parks Sausage Co., a once-thriving institution which had fallen into bankruptcy and closed its doors. Harris, a majority owner of Super Bakery, Inc., and his investors agreed to purchase Parks for $1.7 million in cash while assuming nearly $9 million in debt. Several months later more than 100 employees were back at work at the company’s Baltimore plant, which is overseen by Mitchell, Parks’ President. Parks, a Black Enterprise magazine 100 company, was founded in 1951.

The Big Ten’s post-season lineup for the 2010-13 seasons will include six bowl games to be featured annually on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, including five contests on Jan. 1. In 2009, the conference announced four-year bowl extensions with the Capital One (vs. SEC), Outback (SEC) and Insight (Big 12) and new four-year bowl agreements with the Konica Minolta Gator, Texas and Dallas Football Classic. The Big Ten is in the midst of an eight-year extension with the Rose Bowl through the 2013 season. This new Big Ten bowl lineup will run concurrently with the latest Bowl Championship Series contract. The Big Ten’s 2010-13 bowl lineup will begin in late December with the Texas Bowl in Houston against a Big 12 opponent, followed by six more post-season contests played over an estimated 26-hour period on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. The Insight Bowl will be played at night on Dec. 31, followed by five more conference bowl games over a roughly nine-hour period on Jan. 1, including the Dallas Football Classic (vs. Big 12/Conference USA), Capital One Bowl, Outback Bowl, Gator Bowl (vs. SEC) and the Rose Bowl Game presented by Citi.

REPLAY/BOWLS

THE GREATEST SHOW IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL

NCAA INSTANT REPLAY The Objective

The Standard

The Source

The NCAA has established the following list of plays that are reviewable by the collegiate instant replay system.

There must be indisputable video evidence for an officiating call to be changed by a Technical Advisor working from the press box. The replay system will not guarantee that all officiating mistakes are corrected.

All reviewable video will come direct from the television network broadcasting the game and no other source. The review process will be limited to what is shown on television.

Reviewable

Not Reviewable

Instant Replay Q&A

The following plays are subject to review under instant replay.

EXAMPLES: 1. Holding 2. Off-sides 3. Pass interference 4. Personal fouls (late hits) 5. Illegal blocks 6. Illegal formations 7. Face mask 8. Taunting/excessive celebration 9. False starts 10. Roughing passer/kicker 11. Fighting participants

Q. How does the coaches’ challenge system work? A. Head coaches may utilize a timeout to request a review of a play no more than once per game. A coach initiates the challenge by taking a timeout before the ball is in play and informing the official that the ruling on the previous play is being challenged. If the ruling is overturned, the timeout will be returned to the team. If the ruling is not overturned, the team will lose the timeout. A team must have a timeout in order to challenge a play and a coach can only challenge one play per game. Head coaches may not challenge a ruling in which the game was stopped by the Technical Advisor and a decision already has been made on that specific ruling. If a head coach requests a timeout to challenge a ruling and the play is not reviewable, the team loses the timeout. The Technical Advisor will continue to examine all reviewable plays.

1. Plays governed by a Sideline, Goal Line, or an End Line: a. Scoring plays, including a runner in possession breaking the plane of the goal line. b. Pass ruled complete, incomplete or intercepted at a sideline, goal line or end line. c. A runner or pass receiver ruled in or out of bounds. d. Recovery of a loose ball in or out of bounds in the field or end zone. 2. Passing Plays: a. Pass ruled complete, incomplete or intercepted anywhere in the field or end zone. b. Forward pass touched by an ineligible receiver. c. Forward pass touched by a defensive player. d. Fumble ruled on the part of a potential passer. (Note: If the ruling is forward pass and the pass is incomplete, the play is not reviewable). e. Forward pass/handing ruled when a runner is beyond the line of scrimmage. f. Forward pass/handing ruled after a change of possession. g. Pass ruled forward or backward when thrown from behind the line of scrimmage. (Exception: If pass is ruled forward and is incomplete, the play is not reviewable). 3. Other Detectable Infractions: a. Runner ruled to have fumbled. (If runner is ruled down, the play is not reviewable). b. Runner’s forward progress with respect to a first down. c. Touching of any type of kick by any player. d. Number of players participating by either team during a live ball. e. Scrimmage kicker beyond the line of scrimmage when the ball is kicked. f. Clock adjustment when a ruling on the field is reversed. g. Fumble recovery on fourth down or a PAT and before change of possession.

Q. Is the NCAA instant replay model the same as the NFL? A. In the collegiate model, reviews are conducted by a Technical Advisor in the press box and may occur at any point of the game. In the NFL, the replay booth may only stop a game in the final two minutes of a half. Also in the NFL, head coaches are allowed to challenge two plays per game. The NCAA model allows head coaches to challenge one ruling per game by using a timeout. Q. Which games have instant replay? A. The NCAA does not require the use of the system. For nonconference games, the home team makes the decision to utilize instant replay — the visiting team does not have the option of declining.

MARK

ARCIDIACONO

6-4 272 So./Fr. Eligible Guard Holland, Pa.

Mark Arcidiacono has made considerable progress during his one year as a Nittany Lion and is working hard to return to the field this fall. He has good size and skills and likely will enter preseason practice ready to battle for the No. 2 spot at right guard behind senior and All-America candidate Stefen Wisniewski. A cousin, Nicole Arcidiacono, played for the Penn State women’s basketball team from 2007-10. He is one of 14 Nittany Lions returning from the spring who are from Eastern Pennsylvania. 2009 Freshman Season Redshirt season.

2010 PENN STATE FOOTBALL

Much responsibility was placed upon on the shoulders of Drew Astorino last season and he responded with the leadership and productivity the secondary needed. He asserted himself as the quarterback of the secondary and delivered a strong season with his play and as a leader for the unit, a role he is familiar with from throughout his athletic career. The instinctive and intelligent athlete led the team with nearly 950 plays on defense and special teams and earned honorable-mention All-Big Ten recognition. One of the squad’s surest tacklers and ball-handlers, Astorino was selected by Sporting News as preseason first-team All-Big Ten. He did not participate in contact drills during spring practice after undergoing shoulder surgery in January, but will be 100 percent in time for preseason camp. With a nose for the football, Astorino has a knack for being in position to make a play on any given down or specialty play. The 2006 Pennsylvania Class AAA Player-of-theYear, he led General McLane HS to the Pennsylvania Class AAA football and basketball state titles in 2006-07. General McLane became just the second school to win both state crowns in the same academic year. He scored the game-winning fourth-quarter touchdown in the 28-23 victory over Pottsville in the 2006 title game. On the hardwood, he hit the game-winning shot with :02 left to play, giving his school a 57-55 win over Greencastle Antrim in the 2007 Class AAA state championship game in the Bryce Jordan Center. The aggressive, determined and quick safety is a hard worker who has made excellent progress and will be counted on for substantial contributions the next two seasons. Astorino is one of 11 returning Nittany Lions from Western Pennsylvania. 2009 Junior Season Astorino earned the starting assignment at free safety and proved to be a productive and durable player. Playing in every game, with 12 starts, he led the team with nearly 950 plays. Astorino earned honorable-mention All-Big Ten recognition, playing an instrumental role on Penn State’s Top 10 defense. He ranked fourth on the team with 62 tackles (37 solo), the highest total among defensive backs and linemen. Astorino also had one interception, one sack, four pass breakups and tied for the team lead with two fumble recoveries. He also saw duty on punt returns, with seven returns for a team-best 7.9-yard average. Astorino was intent on helping make sure cornerbacks A.J. Wallace and Knowledge Timmons were victorious on Senior Day, as he recorded a career-high 10 tackles in the 31-20 victory over Indiana. In the 35-10 triumph at Michigan, Astorino made four tackles (three solo) and grabbed his third career interception, picking off Tate Forcier near the Penn State goal line and returning it 30 yards. The following week, he made five solo tackles (six total) in the 34-13 win at Northwestern, helping hold the Wildcats to less than half their season scoring average. Astorino’s hustle and assertiveness helped him secure his second fumble recovery of the year, falling on a loose ball caused by a Kevion Latham sack. The hard-hitting Astorino also made six tackles each against Syracuse, Illinois, Eastern Illinois and Ohio State, with a tackle for minus-three yards in the win over the Orange. He made five stops and recovered a fumble against Temple that led to a field goal and made five tackles (four solo) in the regular-season finale, a 42-14 victory at Michigan State. He had a pass breakup in helping the Lions beat LSU, 19-17, in the 2010 Capital One Bowl. He led the team with 943 plays, topped by 97 at Northwestern and 92 against Indiana. 2008 Sophomore Season Astorino logged considerable playing time in a senior-laden secondary. He saw action in every game, making three starts, as the top reserve to All-Big Ten free safety Anthony Scirrotto. He recorded 39 tackles (29 solo), with one tackle for loss and four pass breakups. Astorino also tied for second on the squad with two interceptions. He tallied five tackles (four solo) and one pass breakup in the 45-14 win over Oregon State.

BARHAM

6-3 293 Sr./Jr. Eligible Guard/Tackle Durham, N.C.

Quinn Barham may have found a home at offensive tackle after the coaching staff made some position changes prior to spring drills to find the best O-Line combination. Barham has experience at guard and center and served as the top reserve to Lou Eliades at right guard in 2009. The former Hillside HS standout has good size and skills and his versatility and experience will be a big plus entering preseason camp and throughout the season. Barham has made steady progress the past two seasons and is on the verge of playing a significant role for the offense. He finished spring drills atop the depth chart at left tackle, but will be challenged by Mike Farrell this year. The coaching staff selected Barham and wideout Brett Brackett as co-recipients of the Red Worrell Award, presented to the offense’s most improved player in spring practice. Barham earned Academic All-Big Ten honors in 2009 and should be a strong candidate again this year.

Beachum’s 2009 Game-by-Game Rushing (Carries-Yards-TD)

Brandon Beachum proved to be a stabilizing force in the backfield last season, utilizing his many skills as an effective runner, receiver and blocker and special teams standout. He appeared in the first 11 games and was seeing more playing time as the season progressed, but suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee as a member of the kickoff return unit in a mid-November game with Indiana. Beachum had surgery soon after the injury and was ahead of schedule entering the summer in his rehabilitation, which usually takes a minimum of nine months. Beachum should be at or near 100 percent, in time for preseason camp in August. A strong and effective runner and blocker, he ran for 113 yards, averaging 4.7 yards per carry, and one touchdown last season. The multi-talented and swift Beachum will be vying for time in the deep running back rotation with Evan Royster, Stephfon Green and Joe Suhey. A hard-working and instinctive player, Beachum has a promising future and should be a major contributor on offense and special teams the next two seasons. Beachum and running back Michael Zordich were prep teammates at Cardinal Mooney HS, helping their team to the 2006 Ohio Division IV state championship and the 2007 state title game. He is one of six returning Nittany Lions from Ohio.

2009 Sophomore Season Beachum appeared in the first 11 games and was seeing more playing time as the season progressed, but suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee as a member of the kickoff return unit against Indiana. Beachum had surgery soon after the injury. In the early portion of the season, Beachum was the No. 2 fullback and also played on special teams, where he made nine tackles, most among all offensive players. But, when Stephfon Green suffered a sprained ankle against Minnesota, Beachum was shifted to tailback and continued his progression. He finished fourth on the team in rushing with 113 yards on 24 carries (4.7) with one touchdown. He scored on a two-yard run in the Nittany Lions’ 34-13 win at Northwestern, gaining 25 yards on just four carries. Beachum gained a season-high 28 yards on four carries against Eastern Illinois, also recording two special teams tackles. He also rushed for 20 yards on four attempts in the 20-0 win over the Golden Gophers and had 23 yards on seven carries in the 35-10 win at Michigan. He also had three receptions for 29 yards, including a 14-yard catch against Akron. He was on the field for 234 snaps, topped by 38 in the 35-10 win at Michigan. 2008 Freshman Season Beachum was one of three true freshmen to play in every game. Playing on the offense and special teams, he had the opportunity to carry the ball in seven games, gaining 114 yards on 28 carries (4.1) and scoring one touchdown. He gained a season-high 43 yards on just eight carries in the opener with Coastal Carolina, scoring on a one-yard run. He gained 39 yards on nine attempts in the win over Temple. Beachum threw a crucial downfield block to clear the path for Derrick Williams’ 94-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to lift the Nittany Lions to their eventual 14-point win over Illinois. Beachum gained eight yards on his only carry against Southern California in the 2009 Rose Bowl. He also recorded eight tackles and was on the field for 269 snaps, led by 34 plays against Coastal Carolina and 28 in the Rose Bowl. Beachum joined linebacker Michael Mauti as early enrollees, starting their Penn State careers in January 2008. Beachum looked like a veteran in the 2008 Blue-White game, as he led the victorious Blue squad with 55 rushing yards on just seven carries for a superb 7.9 average. High School Beachum was a standout at Cardinal Mooney HS as a junior and senior for Coach P.J. Fecko. He was selected an All-American by Rivals.com, first-team All-Ohio, All-Northeast Ohio and all-conference. Beachum was instrumental in Cardinal Mooney advancing to the state championship game twice. The team lost to Coldwater, 28-27, in the 2007 OHSAA Division IV state championship game. Beachum ran for 191 yards on 34 carries (5.6 avg.) and assisted on four tackles. Cardinal Mooney won the 2006 OHSAA Division IV state championship, finishing 14-0. Beachum ran for 61 yards and scored a touchdown. On defense, he made seven tackles, recovered a fumble and returned an interception 34 yards. During his senior season, he ran for 1,525 yards, for an average of 117.3 per game. He averaged 6.3 yards per carry and scored 14 touchdowns, despite missing two games with an injury. He also recorded 22 solo tackles and assisted on 30 others, recording 2.5 sacks. Beachum attended Poland Seminary HS as a freshman and sophomore, where he played football and ran track. He also played basketball at Cardinal Mooney. Beachum graduated from high school in 3½ years.

BRACKETT

Brett Brackett emerged as a leader of a talented, but youthful corps of Nittany Lion receivers during the 2009 campaign. He was one of the few wideouts with significant playing time heading into last season and he will be looked to for leadership and production during his fifth-year senior season. In April, the coaching staff selected the talented and hard-working Brackett and tackle Quinn Barham as co-recipients of the Red Worrell Award, presented to the offense’s most improved player in spring practice. In 2009, Brackett was named winner of the team’s Frank Patrick Total Commitment Award. A December 2009 graduate, Brackett has found a home as a wide receiver after arriving in Happy Valley after earning all-state honors as a quarterback at Lawrence HS. The instinctive and intelligent student-athlete is a productive and dependable member of the offense and special teams. A strong and reliable blocker, Brackett has very good size and skills and should be a significant contributor. The highly-skilled and reliable target presents matchup problems for opposing secondaries and has played an instrumental role on short-yardage and goal line situations.

The Frank Patrick Total Commitment Award has only been in existence since 1995 but already has been presented to many notable Nittany Lion juniors who display a total commitment to academic pursuits, off-season preparation, in-season commitment and community service. Named for the long-time Penn State assistant coach, Jeff Hartings, Wally Richardson, Mike McQueary, Courtney Brown, Justin Kurpeikis, Zack Mills, Bryan Scott, Jeremy Boone, Josh Hull and Brett Brackett are among the previous recipients. This past spring, the coaching staff selected linebacker Chris Colasanti to join this distinctive list, along with tight end Andrew Szczerba. A physical, strong and intelligent player, Colasanti is looking forward to preseason camp and an opportunity to earn a starting assignment at “Linebacker U.” He did not play in the first two games of the 2009 campaign as the coaching staff considered a redshirt season, but early-season injuries to Navorro Bowman and Sean Lee brought the hard-hitting and instinctive linebacker back to the field against Temple. The coaching staff is counting on the talented and experienced Colasanti to continue to provide consistently productive play for the defense and special teams. A two-time first-team all-state selection at Brother Rice HS, he finished spring drills atop the depth chart at middle linebacker. The agile, intense and hard-working Colasanti was one of two true freshmen to play for the Nittany Lions in 2007. An outstanding student-athlete, Colasanti is one of the squad’s most active members in community service. Colasanti had a 3.58 cumulative grade-point average after the spring and will be another Nittany Lion with strong credentials for ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America® consideration. He has earned Dean’s List recognition in five of his initial six semesters and is a two-time Academic All-Big Ten selection. He spent a portion of his summer as an intern at Penn State Orthopaedics. 2009 Junior Season Colasanti did not play in the first two games as the coaching staff considered a redshirt season, but early-season injuries to Navorro Bowman and Sean Lee brought him back to the field. Playing in the final 11 contests, he made 18 total tackles (nine solo), serving as the top reserve at middle linebacker. Colasanti made a career-high six stops against Eastern lllinois, including his first career sack. He also made solo stops in the wins at Michigan and Northwestern.

JACK

CRAWFORD

6-5 271 Jr./Jr. Eligible Defensive End Longport, N.J.

The outcome of last season’s Ohio State game is one Jack Crawford has filed away. What the talented defensive end will remember about the encounter with Penn State’s border rival is having a member of his family in the stands for the first time in his collegiate career. Born in England, Crawford moved to the United States in 2005, intending to pursue basketball as his primary sport. As a junior at St. Augustine Prep in 2006, he joined the football team and found immediate success as a defensive end and tight end. During his senior season, the London native emerged as a standout, leading to his matriculation to Happy Valley. And when the Buckeyes visited last November for the 300th game in Beaver Stadium history, one of his older brothers, Douglas, made the trek from London, becoming the first member of the Crawford family to watch Jack play in person. As a true freshman in 2008, barely two years after playing organized football for the first time, Crawford played in every game for the Nittany Lions. He possesses outstanding physical attributes, athleticism and determination and the ability to make big plays. He has made significant progress on the practice field and in the weight room and is a probable All-Big Ten candidate this year. The personable Crawford has tremendous work-ethic and energy and will be counted on as a significant contributor for the defense the next two seasons. He is one of nine returning Nittany Lions from New Jersey. 2009 Sophomore Season Crawford started every game at defensive end and was among the Big Ten leaders in minusyardage plays. He was ninth in the Big Ten in tackles for losses (14.5 for minus-67 yards) and 10th with 5.5 sacks (minus-44). He was second on the team in minus-yardage hits, earning honorablemention all-conference honors. Crawford made 31 tackles, was tied for the team lead with two fumble recoveries, had one forced fumble and three pass breakups. He made at least one minusyardage play in 10 games. Crawford had a memorable first career start in the win over Akron, recording two tackles, both for a loss, including his first career sack. He had a big game against Temple, posting three tackles, including 2.5 TFL, and a sack. Crawford registered a career-best five tackles, with 1.0 TFL, and combined on a sack against Iowa. In the win at Illinois, he was very productive, totaling four tackles, including 1.5 sacks, and recovering a fumble at the Illinois 14 to set up a touchdown. His third sack of the year was big, as he dropped Juice Williams for a 15-yard loss late in the first half. Crawford’s pressure also forced Williams into an intentional grounding penalty, pushing the Illini out of field goal range. Against Eastern Illinois, Crawford had two tackles, one of which was a sack that resulted in a loss of 15 yards. In the 35-10 thumping of Michigan, Crawford made three solo tackles, all for a loss (minus-9 yards). His standout performance included a sack and a forced fumble. In the 34-13 win at Northwestern, he made two solo tackles, including one for a loss of five yards, and recovered a fumble on the game’s opening drive that led to a field goal. Crawford made two stops and had two pass breakups in the Senior Day win over Indiana. In the big Capital One Bowl win over LSU, he recorded one TFL. He saw action on 677 snaps, the sixth-highest total among 2010 returnees, topped by 68 against Iowa and 65 at Northwestern. 2008 Freshman Season Crawford joined Brandon Beachum and Michael Mauti as the only true freshmen to play in every game. He saw action at defensive tackle and tight end during the season and made four tackles (three solo) with two pass breakups. Crawford was inserted into the season-opener with Coastal Carolina and recorded a season-high three tackles, two of which were solo stops. He also made one

DAILEY

6-2 220 Sr./Jr. Eligible Safety Massillon, Ohio

The 2009 season-opener with Akron presented Andrew Dailey with an opportunity to play against a school only 30 miles from his hometown, in one of the nation’s high school football hotbeds. The athletic and instinctive safety made sure the win over the Zips was a memorable one, bursting 37 yards when he ran with the ball on a fake punt to set up a score. The 2010 campaign will present two more opportunities for Dailey and the Nittany Lions to compete against teams from northeastern Ohio when Youngstown State and Kent State visit Beaver Stadium. Dailey has played in every game the past two seasons, contributing on defense and special teams. He is a tough and versatile player with multiple talents who should have an opportunity to play a larger role for the defense this season. During spring practice, he gained extensive repetitions as Drew Astorino was sidelined after off-season shoulder surgery. Dailey has made very good progress the past two seasons and should emerge as an important contributor in the secondary rotation. At Massillon Washington HS, Dailey was a two-time first-team All-Ohio pick and guided the Tigers to the 2005 Ohio Division I state championship game. He is on schedule to graduate in December, in 3 ½ years. He is one of six returning Nittany Lions from Ohio. 2009 Junior Season Dailey moved to safety after working at linebacker in 2008 and played in every game on defense and special teams for the second consecutive year. He recorded six tackles, led by two stops in the 35-10 win at Michigan. Dailey delivered a big special teams play in the season-opener against Akron, bursting 37 yards when he ran with the ball on a fake punt to set up a Collin Wagner field goal. He also blocked a punt against Eastern Illinois. Dailey made one tackle in the 19-17 win over LSU in the Capital One Bowl. He saw action on 275 snaps, led by 30 each against Akron and Temple. 2008 Freshman Season Dailey played in every game on defense and special teams.

SUCCESS WITH HONOR

5-11 173 So./So. Eligible Wide Receiver Philadelphia, Pa.

The 2008 Pennsylvania Class AA Player-of-the-Year, Curtis Drake emerged as a versatile and multi-talented threat during his true freshman season. After making an immediate impact on the practice field during preseason camp, it was clear to the coaching staff that he needed to be on the field from the season’s outset. Drake earned the highest number of offensive plays among the true freshmen last year and has made substantial progress during his first year as a Nittany Lion. A talented and instinctive player, he saw action in every game last season and will be a strong challenger for a starting wideout spot this year. An all-state quarterback at West Philadelphia Catholic HS, he made eight catches for 98 yards, but Drake’s biggest play of the season came with his arm. His 14yard scoring strike to Andrew Quarless in the third quarter at Michigan State helped trigger a 28point onslaught in a 42-14 victory that stamped Penn State’s place in another New Year’s Day bowl game. The swift and intelligent Drake is poised to play a much bigger role on offense and has a very promising future. 2009 Freshman Season Playing in every game, Drake was one of eight true freshmen to take the field. He made eight receptions for 98 yards (12.2) and gained 24 yards on just four carries, including a 26-yard endaround in the win over Indiana. He also threw a touchdown pass. Drake made his first career reception in the season-opening win over Akron. He also made a 10-yard reception against hometown Temple and earned his first career start in the win at Illinois. Drake was ready for the challenge when Chaz Powell was injured on the second play of the Indiana game. He made two catches for 34 yards, in addition to his big run. He was a big contributor in the 42-14 win at Michigan State. Drake’s scoring strike to tight end Andrew Quarless was a significant one in helping the Nittany Lions to their 10th win and a New Year’s Day bowl berth. Tied, 7-7, early in the third quarter at Spartan Stadium, Drake took a hand-off from Daryll Clark and appeared headed around the right end, when he pulled up and lofted a pass that Quarless went up and grabbed near the back of the end zone for a 14-7 lead just 1:07 into the second half. The play began a 28-point barrage in the third quarter, propelling Penn State to the 28-point win. In addition to his touchdown pass, he made two receptions for 22 yards and had an 18-yard carry against the Spartans, helping the Lions eclipse 500 yards for the fourth time in 2009. Drake made a key 12-yard reception during Penn State’s game-winning drive against LSU in the 2010 Capital One Bowl. He was on the field for 186 plays during the 2009 season, led by 37 at Michigan State and 33 against Indiana. High School The 2008 Pennsylvania Class AA Player-of-the-Year and an all-state selection, Drake was a standout for Coach Brian Fluck at West Philadelphia Catholic HS.

Behind the protection of Eliades and his linemates, Clark finished No. 2 in the Big Ten in passing efficiency and with a school seasonrecord 24 touchdown passes. Penn State finished third in the Big Ten in fewest sacks allowed. Eliades played on 842 snaps, the fifth-highest total on the team, led by 86 in the wins over Minnesota and LSU. The Nittany Lions started the season with a bang, throwing for a season-high 379 yards, a career-best for Clark, in the 31-7 win over Akron. At Illinois, Penn State rolled up 338 rushing yards, getting 100-yard games from Stephfon Green (120) and Royster (105) and 83 yards from Clark. The 20-0 win over Minnesota capped a three-week stretch in which Eliades and the offensive line did not allow a sack. Clark continued to receive excellent protection from his line against Michigan, when he tied a career-high by tossing four touchdown passes in the 35-10 win.

6-2 233 Fr./Fr. Eligible Linebacker Stamford, Conn.

With all three senior starting linebackers from 2009 pursuing careers in the National Football League, the Nittany Lions went into the off-season looking to bolster their depth at the linebacker spot. One of the nation’s most highly-recruited players, Khairi Fortt heads into the season with an opportunity to give the Lions another talented, young player to work with at linebacker. The former Stamford (Conn.) HS All-American was one of seven members of the 2010 recruiting class to enroll in classes at Penn State in January. Fortt also was among five future Nittany Lions selected to play in the 2010 U.S. Army All-American Bowl last January. Boasting excellent size, speed and athleticism, he made very good progress during winter conditioning and spring practice and could have an opportunity to be a contributor during his true freshman season. Fortt became friends with Nittany Lion classmate and fellow Connecticut standout Silas Redd after they attended Penn State’s summer football camp. High School Fortt was a second-team USA Today All-American for Coach Kevin Jones at Stamford HS. A team captain, he was selected to play in the 2010 U.S. Army All-American Bowl and earned firstteam all-state accolades. He was among only 30 players in the nation named to the U.S. Army Player-of-the-Year Award watch list. Rivals.com rated Fortt the nation’s No. 5 prep outside linebacker and Scout.com ranked him No. 11 in the nation. Rivals also rated Fortt the No. 2 prep player in Connecticut for 2009. During his junior season, he recorded 118 tackles, forced five fumbles and grabbed four interceptions. Fortt was slowed by an injury during his senior season. He made 63 hits (41 solo), with 2.5 sacks and an interception, which he returned 46 yards for a touchdown. He was selected second-team all-conference. Fortt also played lacrosse and ran track. Personal Full name is Khairi Savid Fortt. He is the son of Guy and Dr. Tabitha Fortt. He has an older brother, Ja’Far, one younger brother, Omar, and one sister, Anisa. His mother played basketball at Fairfield University and his father played football at Central Connecticut State University. In his spare time, Fortt enjoys photography and swimming.

6-1 237 Sr./Sr. Eligible Linebacker Gaithersburg, Md.

There are times when Bani Gbadyu probably can’t fathom how much the second half of his young life has changed from the uncertainty and challenges of the first. Born in war-torn Liberia, Bani, his father and brother escaped the revolution and poverty, taking a boat across the Atlantic to the United States when he was 10. They had family already living in the Gaithersburg, Md., area, so after arriving in New York City, that’s where they eventually settled. The multi-talented and athletic Gbadyu worked his way to become a first-team all-state selection at Quince Orchard HS and has been a productive contributor for the Nittany Lions the past three seasons. A fifth-year senior, he is one of the most experienced players on the defense and should be among the primary challengers for a starting assignment at “Linebacker U.” His efforts to become a full-time starter were bolstered in the spring, when the coaching staff selected Gbadyu as recipient of the 2010 Jim O’Hora Award, presented to the defense’s most improved player. A highly-skilled and instinctive player, he has worked hard to emerge as a contributor for the defense and special teams and has eight career starts. The strong and mobile Gbadyu is the second Nittany Lion in the last decade to have matriculated to Nittany Valley from Liberia, joining Tamba Hali, who earned All-America honors in helping Penn State win the 2005 Big Ten Championship. Gbadyu is one of 10 returning Nittany Lions from Maryland. 2009 Senior Season Gbadyu saw action in all 13 games, earning five starts, on defense and special teams. He ranked seventh on the squad with 37 tackles, the highest total among players that did not start at least half the games. He also had 0.5 tackles for loss, one forced fumble and a pass breakup in contributing to Penn State’s Top 10 defense. Gbadyu was thrust into the starting lineup against Iowa, when Sean Lee suffered a sprained knee the week prior, and he responded with seven tackles. The contest against the Hawkeyes would mark the first of five consecutive starts for Gbadyu and he made the most of the opportunity. He recorded a career-high eight hits in the win at Illinois and made five stops and forced a fumble in the 35-10 victory at Michigan. Gbadyu also made six tackles in the win over Temple. He played on 374 snaps, led by 53 and 51 in the wins at Michigan State and Illinois, respectively. 2008 Junior Season Playing in 10 games, Gbadyu started the first three contests at outside linebacker. He made 25 tackles, three of which were for minus-six yards, grabbed one interception and knocked down another pass. In his first career start, he made three tackles and grabbed his first career interception against Coastal Carolina. Gbadyu made four stops in the 45-14 win over Oregon State. He made a career-high five tackles each against Temple and in the 46-17 win over Michigan. He also recorded 1.5 tackles for loss against the Wolverines. He missed the Ohio State and Iowa games with a slight injury, but returned to help the Nittany Lions beat Indiana and Michigan State to clinch the Big Ten crown. He saw action on 226 snaps, led by 30 against the Beavers. 2007 Sophomore Season Gbadyu played in every game on defense and special teams, recording six tackles. He made a season-high three tackles at Michigan State, a solo stop against Buffalo and a punishing solo hit at Temple. He saw action on 133 plays, led by 23 at Michigan State. He earned a 3.56 grade-point average during the 2008 spring semester for Dean’s List recognition. 2006 Freshman Season Redshirt season. High School Gbadyu was a first-team all-state selection and team captain at Quince Orchard HS. Playing for Coach Dave Mencarini, he earned Washington Post All-Met honors during his senior season. As a junior and senior, he received first-team all-county and all-conference accolades, playing safety, linebacker, defensive end and running back. He was injured for a portion of his senior season, but ran for 860 yards and 16 touchdowns and made 65 tackles and forced five fumbles. As a junior, he had 78 tackles, 15 sacks and three fumble recoveries. He was instrumental in Quince Orchard winning a pair of 4A West championships. During his senior season, Gbadyu helped organize a clothing drive to help benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina. Personal Full name is Bani Gbadyu. He is the son of Digoa Gbadyu and has a brother, Emmanuel. Digoa and his two sons left war-torn and impoverished Liberia on a boat in 1997, arriving in New York City before settling in Gaithersburg, Md., where they had family. Gbadyu is majoring in human development and family studies. In his free time, Gbadyu enjoys music, playing video games and watching movies. Born August 31, 1987 in Liberia.

GARRY

GILLIAM

6-6 265 So./Fr. Eligible Tight End Carlisle, Pa.

Garry Gilliam is among a group of young, talented players looking to earn playing time at tight end after the graduation of veterans Andrew Quarless and Mickey Shuler. Having played defensive end last year during his redshirt season, Gilliam was shifted to tight end prior to spring drills. After a strong spring practice season, the former Milton Hershey School standout should head into preseason camp in the thick of the battle for significant playing time. A crisp route runner with good hands, Gilliam brings great athleticism and size to the tight end position. With continued progress during the summer and preseason practice, Gilliam should be a strong candidate for substantial playing time this year. He owned a 3.49 grade-point average through the spring semester. 2009 Freshman Season Redshirt season. Gilliam played defensive end on the foreign team. He caught two passes for 23 yards in the 2010 Blue-White game. High School

Penn State will have arguably the premier running back tandem in the Big Ten, and possibly one of the nation’s best, in junior Stephfon Green and senior Evan Royster. The vastly talented and athletic Green is an excellent complement to Royster and is amongst the conference’s fastest and most athletic players. The swift, hard-working and agile junior has rushed for nearly 900 yards and averaged 5.1 yards an attempt over the past two seasons. His quickness, vision and ability to avoid would-be tacklers make him an exciting option to carry or catch the ball. The competitive Green also has proven to be a highly-effective and dangerous receiver and kick returner. The Bronx product has delivered three of the team’s six longest plays from scrimmage over the past two years, including a 52-yard touchdown burst in the win at Illinois last year. A strong runner with a great motor, the energetic and enthusiastic Green gained a team-high 124 all-purpose yards against Southern California in the 2009 Rose Bowl. He also gained 36 big yards in the 2010 Capital One Bowl against LSU, including a huge six-yard gain for first down at the Tigers’ 8-yard line in the waning minutes to help set up Collin Wagner’s game-winning field goal. A personable young man with a broad smile, Green is a hard worker who has been highly effective for the offense and special teams and should play a larger role the next two seasons. He is one of seven returning Nittany Lions from New York, four of whom hail from metropolitan New York City. Green and redshirt freshman Stephen Obeng-Agyapong played at John F. Kennedy HS. 2009 Junior Season Playing in 11 games, Green gained 319 yards on 71 carries (4.5). He missed the Michigan and Northwestern outings with a sprained ankle. He scored three rushing touchdowns and had six receptions for 80 yards (13.3). His 25.5-yard average on four kickoff returns led the team. Green and Royster combined for a Big Ten-first in Penn State’s 17 years in the conference in the win at Illinois. Green posted his second career 100-yard rushing game and had a career-high in carries, gaining 120 yards on 13 attempts against the Illini. He got the Lions on the scoreboard with a thrilling 52yard touchdown burst through the heart of the Illini defense in the second quarter. Royster tallied 105 yards, as they became the first tandem of Penn State running backs to each eclipse 100 yards in the conference era. In the win in Champaign, Green was instrumental in jump-starting the Penn State rushing attack, which gained 338 yards, its highest total in three years. He gained 19 yards and scored a rushing touchdown in the win over Temple, also catching two passes for 28 yards. Green carried eight times for 58 yards (7.2) and delivered his third rushing touchdown of the season, a 26-yard scoring romp in the third quarter, in the win over Eastern Illinois. He sprained an ankle in the first half against Minnesota and missed the next two games. In the 42-14 win at Michigan State, he carried the ball five times and caught a screen pass for a season-long 31 yards in the second quarter. Green carried the ball seven times for 36 yards in the Capital One Bowl against LSU, including a huge six-yard gain for first down at the Tigers’ 8-yard line in the waning minutes to help set up Collin Wagner’s game-winning 21-yard field goal. Green saw action on 225 plays on offense and special teams, led by 27 snaps against LSU and 26 at Michigan State.

A standout athlete, Gilliam played four sports at the Milton Hershey School. The All-American, all-state and All-Mid-Penn Conference honoree was a four-year starter, playing tight end and defensive end under Coach Bob Guyer. Gilliam gained 350 receiving yards on 20 receptions and scored four touchdowns in his career. During his senior season, he racked up 70 tackles, five sacks and two interceptions. He finished with 153 tackles, 12 sacks and five interceptions in his scholastic career. He played on the winning squad in the 2009 Big 15 game. Gilliam also was a member of the Pennsylvania squad in the 2009 Big 33 Classic. A WGAL-TV Player-of-the-Week, Gilliam was a conference champion in the javelin and qualified for the state track and field championships. Personal Full name is Garry Montzell Gilliam Jr. He is the son of Thelma Shifflett and Garry Gilliam Sr. He has one brother, Victor, and a sister, Angel. In his spare time, Gilliam enjoys graphic design work. He is enrolled in the Smeal College of Business and is interested becoming a CEO.

He reached the century mark for the first time in his career, gaining 132 yards on only nine carries (14.7) in the 45-3 victory over Temple. In the third quarter, he broke off a season-high 69-yard touchdown run against the Owls. The play was Penn State’s longest rush of 2008, giving Green two of the squad’s three longest plays from scrimmage for the season. In the win at Purdue, he ran seven times for 58 yards, including a 28-yard burst, for an impressive 7.7 yards per carry. Green took a screen pass and blazed 80 yards for a touchdown in the 46-17 win over Michigan. The touchdown was tied for the fifth-longest pass play in Penn State history and was the longest since Kerry Collins and Freddie Scott connected on an 82-yard completion against Rutgers in 1994. Green gained 23 yards on three carries in the critical win at Ohio State and tallied 31 yards on just three attempts at Iowa. Green ran for 26 yards and caught one pass for 37 yards in the Big Ten-clinching win over Michigan State.

Green saw significant playing time against Southern California in the 2009 Rose Bowl, gaining a team-high 57 yards on 10 carries and 67 receiving yards on a teamhigh five catches. His 124 all-purpose yards led the Lions, but he left the game with a dislocated right ankle suffered on a fourth-quarter carry, an injury that sidelined him for spring drills.

6-1 311 So./So. Eligible Defensive Tackle Steelton, Pa.

Jordan Hill will be among the primary contenders for a significant role on the defensive line, as the Nittany Lions look to fill the hole left by the departure of All-America tackle Jared Odrick. Hill appeared headed for a redshirt season in 2009, but his impressive progress on the practice field made it apparent to the coaching staff that the true freshman needed to be on the field. It didn’t take long for Hill to make an immediate impact in his debut by tallying four stops against Eastern Illinois. The strong and mobile player went on to make at least one tackle in seven of the final eight games. A fierce competitor in the trenches, Hill brings a superb blend of speed and power to the defensive line. With a quick first step, the Max Preps small-school All-American at Steelton Highspire HS has the size, skills and strength to become a significant contributor this season for the interior defensive front. 2009 Freshman Season Heading toward a possible redshirt season, it became clear that Hill needed to be on the field in his true freshman season. He made his Penn State debut against Eastern Illinois, the sixth game of the season, and made an immediate and positive impression, recording a season-high four tackles in the win over the Panthers. Playing in the final eight games, he made 12 tackles, and recorded a sack in the 35-10 win at Michigan. Hill made at least one tackle in seven of the eight contests he played in. He recorded two stops each against Ohio State and Indiana. He played on 99 snaps, led by 17 each against Eastern Illinois, Michigan and Indiana. High School

Gerald Hodges played in every game last year as a true freshman and was a contributor on defense and special teams. But, with the graduation of All-Big Ten linebackers Navorro Bowman, Sean Lee and Josh Hull from the starting unit, Hodges has his eyes squarely set on emerging as a major factor in continuing the success of Penn State’s Top 10 defense. When the 2009 season began, Hodges was seeing action at safety and on special teams. But, the versatile, swift and instinctive athlete was shifted into the linebacker rotation after the Temple game following a rash of early-season injuries. The talented and hard-hitting Hodges has made excellent progress during his first full year as a Nittany Lion. He finished spring drills No. 2 on the depth chart to senior Bani Gbadyu at one of the outside spots and their competition will continue into preseason camp. The two-time first-team All-South Jersey honoree led Paulsboro HS to a pair of South Jersey Group 1 championships. With continued progress, Hodges should be among the top candidates for a significant role at “Linebacker U.” this fall. A January 2009 Penn State enrollee, he is one of nine returning Nittany Lions from New Jersey. 2009 Freshman Season The hard-hitting Hodges saw action in every game on defense and special teams, making three tackles, with one stop each against Syracuse, Eastern Illinois and Northwestern. He began the season at safety, but was shifted to linebacker after the Temple game following a rash of injuries to the unit. He was on the field for 128 snaps, led by 21 against Eastern Illinois and 15 in the Land Grant Trophy win at Michigan State. He enrolled in January 2009 and was among eight true freshmen to see the field. High School

A MaxPreps small-school All-American, Hill was a four-year letterman for Coach Rob Deibler at Steelton Highspire HS. The standout defensive lineman and fullback earned All-Mid-Penn Conference and all-district accolades from 2006-08. Hill was instrumental in helping SteeltonHighspire capture the 2007 and 2008 Pennsylvania Class A state championships, including an undefeated campaign as a senior. During his senior year, he tallied 143 tackles, four sacks and three interceptions en route to being named first-team all-state. Hill recorded 275 tackles, 19 sacks and five interceptions during his standout career. He also gained 648 yards with six career rushing touchdowns. The three-year captain was named the 2008 conference co-player-of-the-year and led his team to four District 3 titles and a trio of Mid-Penn Conference championships. He played in the 2009 Big 33 Classic. Hill also played basketball for four years and baseball for one season.

Hodges was a standout for Coach Glenn Howard at Paulsboro HS. He played safety and quarterback and returned kicks. A team captain, he was selected first-team All-South Jersey and firstteam all-conference after his junior and senior seasons. Scout.com ranked him as the nation’s No. 4 outside linebacker. He recorded 61 tackles and grabbed one interception his senior season. A three-year starter at quarterback, Hodges ran for 705 yards on 99 carries and threw for 695 yards and 10 touchdowns. He was instrumental in helping Paulsboro win two South Jersey Group I titles and four Colonial Conference Patriot Division championships. Captain of the wrestling and track and field teams, Hodges finished his junior wrestling season third in the state with a 40-1 record.

DOUG

KLOPACZ

6-3 284 Sr./Sr. Eligible Center Hasbrouck Heights, N.J.

The opportunity Doug Klopacz hoped for as he pushed his body during rehabilitation is at hand. Two years removed from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, the shift of Stefen Wisniewski from center back to guard provides an opening that Klopacz has worked hard to attain. The former St. Joseph’s Regional HS all-stater has made substantial progress since his September 2008 injury and ended spring drills atop the depth chart at center. Klopacz has good size and skills and with continued hard work and improvement should be a strong challenger for significant playing time this fall. He is on schedule to graduate in December. He is one of nine returning Nittany Lions from New Jersey. 2009 Senior Season Klopacz served as the top reserve to first-team All-Big Ten center Stefen Wisniewski and saw action in six games. Klopacz played in the wins over Akron, Syracuse, Temple, Illinois, Eastern Illinois and Michigan State, helping the Nittany Lions gain more than 500 yards against both the Zips and Panthers. He returned to the field after suffering a serious knee injury early in the 2008 campaign. 2008 Junior Season The squad’s No. 2 center, Klopacz saw action on 45 snaps during the first three games of the season, led by 20 against Coastal Carolina. He suffered a serious knee injury in practice leading up to the Temple game, tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and was lost for the season. 2007 Sophomore Season Klopacz made his collegiate debut in the season-opening win over Florida International.

Five starters return from a defensive unit that was ranked in the Top 10 nationally in rushing and scoring defense in 2009 for the fifth consecutive year and in the Top 15 in total defense for the sixth straight season. Senior defensive tackle Ollie Ogbu is a two-year starter and will anchor the line. Junior defensive end Jack Crawford started every game last season and emerged as a playmaker. Three junior starters return in the secondary in cornerback D’Anton Lynn and safeties Drew Astorino and Nick Sukay. Five additional defensive players return that have starting experience, including fifth-year senior linebacker Bani Gbadyu. The unit also will welcome the return of sophomore linebacker Michael Mauti, who missed the 2009 season with a serious knee injury. Among the top priorities will be replacing first-team All-America defensive tackle Jared Odrick and all three linebackers from arguably the nation’s top unit — Navorro Bowman, Josh Hull and Sean Lee. The trio earned All-Big Ten honors last year, giving “Linebacker U.” three of the six spots on the all-conference teams. Bowman was a second-team All-American. Penn State was one of only three teams that finished in the Top 15 nationally in rushing, total and scoring and pass efficiency defense, as well as sacks and tackles for loss in 2009, being joined by Oklahoma and Texas.

ERIC

LATIMORE

6-6 267 Sr./Jr. Eligible Defensive End Middletown, Del.

Delaware has emerged as a more fertile recruiting state for the Nittany Lions in recent years, with five First State products participating in spring practice. The first of the quintet to arrive in Happy Valley was defensive end Eric Latimore, who enrolled at Penn State as a full-time student in January 2007. A talented athlete with excellent physical attributes, Latimore has demonstrated the ability to make big plays for the Nittany Lions’ Top 10 defense. He recorded 3.5 sacks last year, the third-highest total on the team. He split time with Jerome Hayes in the starting lineup last year, making five starts, and emerged as the favorite for a starting assignment opposite Jack Crawford as spring drills concluded. Latimore’s hard work in the weight room and on the practice field has helped him make substantial progress and emerge as a disruptive force capable of making numerous big plays. A first-team all-state selection at Middletown HS, he is a highly-skilled and mobile athlete with imposing stature. Latimore has good speed and instincts and with continued improvement and consistency, should have an opportunity to play a significant role for the defense the next two seasons. 2009 Junior Season Latimore seized the opportunity to earn significant playing time, seeing action in every game, with five starts. He made 21 tackles, recording 6.0 tackles for loss for minus-22 yards, and one pass breakup. Latimore also recorded 3.5 sacks for minus-18 yards, the third-highest total on the team. He started the initial three games of the season, as well as the Illinois and Eastern Illinois contests, battling Jerome Hayes for the starting nod throughout the season. Latimore made a career-high five tackles in the win at Illinois, including a sack. He made four hits each against Iowa and Ohio State and recorded sacks in the wins over Akron and Northwestern. Latimore added two tackles and forced a fumble on the final play in the thrilling Capital One Bowl victory over LSU. He played on 376 snaps, led by 58 against Iowa and 44 against Illinois.

PENN STATE FOOTBALL WEEKEND: “The Great Show” A Penn State home football weekend topped the list of Sports Illustrated on Campus magazine’s “102 More Things To Do Before Graduation,” and Nittany Lion football coach Joe Paterno was on the cover of the October 27, 2005 issue.

In voting conducted by SI.com, Penn State was selected the nation’s premier college or professional football tailgating venue. Penn State defeated Texas, Washington and LSU to win the collegiate title and defeated the Buffalo Bills to capture the overall distinction as the nation’s top tailgating location. Penn State has one of the nation’s most energetic and dedicated fan bases, with fans starting to arrive in their recreational vehicles as early as Thursday morning for home games. Beaver Stadium’s capacity of 107,282 is the nation’s second largest and Penn State has been ranked in the top four in attendance in the nation for each of the past 19 years.

2008 Sophomore Season Latimore battled for the top reserve spot behind senior Josh Gaines and saw action in nine games for the Big Ten Champions. He recorded seven tackles — six of which were solo stops — and had one sack. He made two solo stops in the season-opener against Coastal Carolina, including a sack for minus-three yards.

Lynn’s 2009 Game-by-Game Tackles (Total-Solo-Assist)

The abundance of talented football student-athletes from Texas has found a more well-traveled path to Happy Valley in the past couple of years. Three returnees on the 2010 squad are Lone Star State products, including cornerback D’Anton Lynn. He was one of the most unheralded, but productive members of the Nittany Lions’ Top 10 defense last season, quietly and effectively going about his business of covering some of the nation’s top wideouts. Lynn and the secondary took great pride in their efforts to limit Minnesota’s Eric Decker, the Big Ten’s leading receiver at the time, to just one catch in a Homecoming shutout victory. The vastly talented and intelligent Lynn grabbed a hold of one of the starting cornerback spots in preseason and has made substantial progress while gaining tremendous experience. A quick, versatile and instinctive student-athlete, Lynn brings great size, intensity and attitude to the field. His father, Anthony Lynn, was an All-Southwest Conference running back at Texas Tech, earned two Super Bowl rings with the Denver Broncos and is the running backs coach with the New York Jets. A tough and determined player, the younger Lynn has a very promising future and should continue to be a significant contributor for the defense the next two seasons. An Associated Press Class 3A first-team all-state selection at Celina HS, Lynn joins redshirt freshmen Anthony Fera and Frank Figueroa as returning Nittany Lions from the Lone Star State. 2009 Sophomore Season Lynn earned a starting assignment at one of the cornerback posts and held onto it throughout the season. He garnered honorable-mention All-Big Ten accolades and was instrumental in Penn State’s Top 10 defense. Lynn made 35 tackles (26 solo), eighth on the team and tops among cornerbacks. He recorded 3.5 tackles for loss, including half a sack against Iowa, and five pass breakups. Lynn stepped into a unit that had some uncertainty at the start of the season due to inexperience and was a productive and stabilizing factor. He recorded a career-high eight tackles (five solo) in the 34-13 win at Northwestern, helping hold the Wildcats to less than half their season scoring average. Lynn made six solo stops in the Senior Day win over Indiana to help ensure that corners A.J. Wallace and Knowledge Timmons were victorious in their final home game. Lynn helped hold Minnesota’s Eric Decker, the Big Ten’s leading receiver at the time, to just one catch in a 20-0 Homecoming win over the Golden Gophers. He recorded three solo tackles, with a minus-yardage play, in the 42-14 win at Michigan State, helping hold the Spartans to 94 rushing yards and 17 points below their season scoring figure. He had five hits in the win over Eastern Illinois. He was on the field for 790 snaps last season, the team’s eighth-highest total among returnees, topped by 81 against Indiana and 79 in the win at Illinois.

TRIO OF STARTERS RETURN IN PENN STATE SECONDARY Penn State will return five players with significant experience in the secondary, including three starters. Starting cornerback A.J. Wallace has departed and the top candidate likely will be sophomore Stephon Morris, who played in every game last year on defense and special teams. The hard-hitting Morris made 30 tackles and likely will join junior D’Anton Lynn in the starting unit. Lynn made significant strides last year while starting every game, recording 35 stops (26 solo), with 3.5 TFL and five pass breakups. Chaz Powell moved from wideout to cornerback in spring drills and should challenge for significant playing time. Juniors Drew Astorino (62 tackles, 1 interception) and Nick Sukay (41 tackles, 2 interceptions, 11 pass breakups) are returning starters at the safety positions. Astorino was fourth on the squad in tackles and also recovered two fumbles. Sukay was challenged by injuries earlier in his career, but he made very good progress last season and ranked No. 3 in the Big Ten with 13 passes defended. Junior Andrew Dailey (6 tackles, 1 interception) also has extensive experience in the secondary and will challenge for significant playing time.

6-4 255 Jr./So. Eligible Defensive End Newtown Square, Pa.

There may not be another Nittany Lion more anxious for preseason camp than redshirt sophomore Pete Massaro. The talented, instinctive and intelligent Massaro was looking like he would emerge as a contributor last season, but a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the 2009 Blue-White game ended his year. Massaro has made great progress in his rehabilitation and was able to participate in non-contact drills during spring practice. He should be 100 percent prior to preseason camp and will be ready to have an impact in 2010. He will join defensive ends Jack Crawford, Kevion Latham, Eric Latimore and Sean Stanley on a unit that finished tied for first in the Big Ten with 37 sacks in 2009.

6-2 229 Jr./So. Eligible Linebacker Mandeville, La.

Michael Mauti is enthused for the start of preseason camp and an opportunity to return to the field and challenge for a starting linebacker assignment. Mauti tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee last August in practice, sidelining him for the 2009 season and he took a medical redshirt. His diligent, hard work has allowed him to make excellent progress in his rehabilitation and he should be 100 percent by the start of preseason drills. A U.S. Army All-American at Mandeville HS, Mauti was one of three true freshmen to play in every game in 2008. The hard work and efforts he displayed after the 2009 Rose Bowl convinced the coaching staff to present Mauti with the Jim O’Hora Award, given to the defense’s most improved player during spring practice. A vastly talented and intelligent student-athlete, Mauti is a gifted linebacker who should be a strong challenger for a starting assignment with the loss of three all-conference players from “Linebacker U.” He has the skills, tenacity and instincts to emerge as a starter and a player who will see considerable time for the defense and special teams the next three seasons. Mauti is best known amongst the Penn State faithful for the crushing hit he laid on a Michigan player on a kickoff return, forcing a fumble during the 2008 matchup. His highlight-reel hit sparked the Nittany Lion defense and the 110,017 Homecoming fans rocking Beaver Stadium in the Penn State win. Michael and his older brother, Patrick (2005-09), are part of the long line of brother tandems to play for Joe Paterno, who also coached their father, Rich, in the mid-1970s. 2009 Sophomore Season Mauti tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during an August practice, sidelining him for the season. He took a medical redshirt season. 2008 Freshman Season Mauti proved to be an immediate asset for the defense and special teams after graduating from high school early and enrolling in the University in January 2008. One of three true freshmen to play in every game, he made 26 tackles, with one minus-yardage stop and a fumble hit. He made a season-high seven tackles against Michigan, including one for a two-yard loss. He delivered one of the biggest hits of the season when he leveled Wolverine Sam McGuffie on a kickoff return, forcing a fumble. The Wolverines recovered the pigskin, but Mauti’s hit charged the Nittany Lion defense and faithful in erasing a 10-0 deficit to win, 46-17. Mauti also made three stops each in the wins over Indiana and Michigan State and had two hits in four other games. Mauti saw action on 249 snaps, led by 33 against the Wolverines and 30 against Southern California in the Rose Bowl. He made four tackles in the 2009 Blue-White game and was the recipient of the Jim O’Hora Award, presented to the defense’s most improved player during spring practice. High School A hard-hitting linebacker for Coach Guy LeCompte at Mandeville HS, Mauti was selected to the 2008 U.S. Army All-American Bowl. He finished his senior season with 121 tackles, 24 for loss, with four sacks. He also caused four turnovers, including two forced fumbles and two interceptions, which he returned for touchdowns. He was ranked among the ESPN.com Top 150 recruits in the nation and was rated a Top 20 inside linebacker by Rivals.com. Personal Full name is Michael D. Mauti. He is the son of Rich and Nancy Mauti.

MATT

McGLOIN

6-1 206 Jr./So. Eligible Quarterback Scranton, Pa.

Matt McGloin is a skilled athlete with a strong and accurate arm who has made significant progress in his two years with the Nittany Lions. He played in three games during the 2009 season and is working hard to put himself into position to challenge for a more significant role this year. McGloin and Kevin Newsome battled throughout spring practice and a decision on who will be the Nittany Lions’ starting quarterback won’t be made until August or just prior to the season-opener. McGloin has notable instincts, poise and confidence, attributes that helped him lead West Scranton HS to a pair of Pennsylvania Class AAA district titles. He and redshirt freshman tackle Eric Shrive were prep teammates at West Scranton. McGloin is one of 14 returning Nittany Lions from Eastern Pennsylvania. 2009 Sophomore Season In his first season on the field, McGloin was a reserve to first-team All-Big Ten quarterback Daryll Clark and gained experience in practice and in selected games. He saw his first collegiate action in the win over Syracuse and had two pass attempts against Eastern Illinois. McGloin also took some snaps in the big victory at Michigan State. 2008 Freshman Season Redshirt season. In the 2009 Blue-White game, McGloin was a combined 9-of-13 for 111 yards and threw two touchdown passes, one for each team. He threw a 19-yard scoring strike to Graham Zug and a 17-yard touchdown pass to J.D. Mason. He also had a 28-yard run for the White team. High School McGloin was a team captain for Coach Mike DeAntona at West Scranton HS. As the starting quarterback, he led his team to two Class AAA district titles and a league title. McGloin was named all-conference, all-region, all-state and to the WNEP-TV 16 Dream Team. A three-year starter, he threw for 5,485 career yards with 58 touchdowns. As a senior, he threw for 2,445 yards and 22 touchdowns. The Scranton Times-Tribune named McGloin its 2007-08 Athlete-of-the-Year and Athlete-ofthe-Week three times during his prep career.

STEPHON

MORRIS

5-8 182 So./So. Eligible Cornerback Greenbelt, Md.

Just as one former Eleanor Roosevelt (Md.) HS standout departed Happy Valley, two more arrived also ready to make a big impact for the Nittany Lions. The impact Derrick Williams had on the Penn State program is well-documented, as he, Justin King and several 2009 seniors made their commitment to Penn State during the 2005 signing period, pledging to return the Nittany Lions to national championship contention. They did that and more so, with last year’s seniors delivering 51 career wins. Recent Eleanor Roosevelt standouts Stephon Morris and cornerback Derrick Thomas arrived on campus in July 2009. Morris also needed little time before becoming an important contributor for the Nittany Lions. An exceptional cornerback, running back and kick returner at Eleanor Roosevelt, the athletic and highly-skilled Morris made a seamless transition into a prominent contributor for Penn State’s Top 10 defense during his true freshman season. Possessing great instincts and work-ethic, he was on the field for 505 snaps, the highest total among the 2009 true freshmen. He should be a strong challenger for a starting assignment this year with the departure of A.J. Wallace. Morris’ impact is felt as a productive corner and special teams player and by the opposition, as he easily is among the squad’s biggest hitters. An aggressive and sure tackler, Morris should be a prime contender for a starting job in the secondary and has a very bright future over the next three seasons. He is one of 10 returning Nittany Lions from Maryland. 2009 Freshman Season Morris saw action in all 13 games and logged the most plays among the eight true freshmen who earned playing time. He made 30 tackles (24 solo), grabbed an interception and broke up two passes. He also delivered one hit for a loss at Michigan State, where he made his first career start. With A.J. Wallace injured and out of the lineup, Morris made the most of his first career start in the battle for the Land Grant Trophy. The aggressive defender tied his season-high with five tackles (four solo) and played a significant role in limiting the Spartans to just 14 points, 17 below their average. In the Capital One Bowl against LSU, he tied his season-high by recording five solo tackles in the big 19-17 win. Morris also posted a season-high five stops against Ohio State. He made three solo stops in the 34-13 win at Northwestern and three hits in the Senior Day victory over Indiana. Morris saw his playing time increase in the second half of the season as he became more comfortable, making 23 stops in the final six games. He pulled down his first career interception at Illinois on a Juice Williams’ pass, returning it 70 yards on the final play of the first half. In addition to playing a significant role in the secondary, Morris established himself as an impact player on special teams. He was on the field for 505 snaps, the highest total among the 2009 true freshmen, led by 77 in the win at Northwestern and 70 against Indiana.

Full name is Matthew James McGloin. His parents are Paul and Cathy McGloin. He has two older brothers, Paul and John. John played baseball at Lehigh University. McGloin and freshman lineman Eric Shrive were prep teammates. In his free time, McGloin enjoys watching movies and spending time with friends. His major is telecommunications.

Brandon Moseby-Felder heads into his first season on the field looking to provide depth for the talented wide receiver corps. Moseby-Felder had a solid spring practice session, which was capped by making three receptions for 31 yards in the 2010 Blue-White game. He has made good progress during his first year as a Nittany Lion. With continued hard work and improvement, Moseby-Felder should be in the mix for playing time this fall. He is one of 10 returning Nittany Lions from Maryland. 2009 Freshman Season Redshirt season. High School Moseby-Felder missed his senior season at Oxon Hill HS after suffering a serious knee injury. As a junior under Coach Kevin Wolfolk, he was an all-county and honorable-mention all-metro selection. He made 40 catches for just shy of 1,000 yards and 11 touchdowns. Personal Full name is Brandon Jarrod Moseby-Felder. He is enrolled in the College of Communications. Born July 4, 1991.

SEVEN RETURNING OFFENSIVE STARTERS The Nittany Lion offense returns seven starters, as well as five other players with starting experience. The most pressing needs will be finding replacements for record-setting quarterback Daryll Clark, tight ends Andrew Quarless and Mickey Shuler and tackle Dennis Landolt, a third-team All-American. Penn State was second in the Big Ten in total offense at 406.9 ypg and was the only team to rank in the top five in the conference in rushing, passing, scoring and total offense. The starting offensive unit welcomes back senior tailback Evan Royster, a Doak Walker Award candidate and 2009 first-team All-Big Ten selection. Three starting wide receivers return in Derek Moye, Chaz Powell and Graham Zug, but Powell spent spring practice working at cornerback. Three offensive line starters are back as well: Stefen Wisniewski, Lou Eliades and DeOn’tae Pannell. Wisniewski was moved back to guard in the spring, where he played in 2008, after earning first-team All-Big Ten accolades at center last year.

DEREK

MOYE

6-5 201 Sr./Jr. Eligible Wide Receiver Rochester, Pa.

Any questions as to how the Penn State receiving corps would fare after losing three of its most prolific pass catchers in program history to graduation were quickly answered in the 2009 season-opener with Akron. In his first career start, Derek Moye exhibited some of the skills and athleticism that had made him an all-state running back and state champion sprinter at Rochester HS. He set career-highs with six receptions for 138 yards and one touchdown, averaging 23.0 yards per catch. The receiving yardage was a 2009 team season-high and set the tone for numerous superb performances last season by Moye, who earned honorable-mention All-Big Ten recognition. A talented and swift wideout with great size, he led the team with 48 receptions for 785 yards (16.4) and scored six touchdowns. Moye was ranked ninth in the Big Ten in receiving yardage at 60.4 ypg and his 16.4-yard average per catch was second-highest among the conference’s top 10 receivers. His 48 receptions were tied for No. 7 in school season history and his 785 receiving yards were good for No. 13. The six-catch effort against Akron would be the first of four contests in 2009 where Moye made half a dozen grabs, including three consecutive wins. The sure-handed and strong Moye is a probable all-conference candidate this year and will join Brett Brackett and Graham Zug as the only upperclassmen among the Nittany Lions’ talented receiving corps. A starter in every game last year, Moye uses his excellent size and athleticism to pose matchup problems for opposing secondaries. He led the squad with 16 receptions of 20 yards or more last year. With continued hard work, Moye already has demonstrated he has the skills and speed to make big plays and be a game-changer the next two seasons. He won Penn State Uplifting Athletes’ 2010 Video Challenge to promote awareness for Global Rare Disease Day. A four-sport standout at Rochester HS, Moye won the 200meter (:22.15) and 400-meter (:48.04) Class AA state titles at the 2007 Pennsylvania state track and field championships. A cousin, Rocky Washington, played for the Nittany Lions during the 1980s. Moye is one of 11 returning Lions from Western Pennsylvania. 2009 Junior Season Any questions as to how the Penn State receiving corps would fare after losing three of its most prolific pass catchers in program history to graduation were quickly answered in the season-opener with Akron. In his first career start, Moye set career-highs with six receptions for 138 yards and one touchdown, averaging 23.0 yards per catch. The 138 receiving yards were a 2009 team season-high and the most by a Nittany Lion since Deon Butler posted a school-record 216 yards against Northwestern in 2006. Moye made four receptions of 20 yards or more against the Zips, including a leaping 42-yard effort to get the Lions deep into Akron territory and set up a touchdown late in the first half for a 31-0 lead. The game was the first of numerous superb performances by Moye, who earned honorable-mention All-Big Ten recognition. Starting every game, he led the team with 48 receptions for 785 yards (16.4) and had six touchdown catches. Moye was ninth in the Big Ten in receiving yardage at 60.4 ypg and his 16.4-yard average per catch was second-highest among the conference’s top 10 receivers. His 48 receptions were tied for No. 7 in school season history and his 785 receiving yards were good for No. 13. He led the squad with 16 receptions of 20 yards or more. The six-catch effort against Akron would be the first of four contests where Moye made half a dozen grabs, including three consecutive victories. He led the team with six receptions for 120 yards in the 20-0 Homecoming win over Minnesota. Moye made a superb 12-yard diving touchdown catch and managed to drag a foot in bounds to give the Lions a 13-0 lead near the end of the first half. He made six catches the following week in the 35-10 win at Michigan. All six catches came in the first 20 minutes to significantly help the offense get off to a fast start. Moye tied his career-high for the third consecutive game with six receptions at Northwestern, gaining 123 yards. The 100-yard receiving game was his third of the year. Moye streaked past his defender down the sideline and grabbed a 53-yard scoring strike from Daryll Clark in the fourth quarter to give the Nittany Lions a 27-13 lead. The 53-yard reception was the longest of his career. Moye made a four-yard touchdown catch against Temple, made two catches for 48 yards against Iowa and had a 25-yard scoring grab against Eastern Illinois. In the 42-14 victory at Michigan State, Moye was active in the offensive outburst, hauling in four receptions for 56 yards to help Clark accumulate 310 passing yards. Moye grabbed a 37-yard touchdown catch to give Penn State a 7-0 lead in the Capital One Bowl win over LSU. He made three catches for 53 yards against the Tigers. Moye saw action on 660 snaps, the secondhighest total among skill position players, led by 62 against Minnesota. 2008 Sophomore Season Moye saw action in 12 games, making three catches for 71 yards and one touchdown. His 23.7yard average led the squad. Moye’s first collegiate touchdown came on a 33-yard catch and run at Syracuse, on a ball thrown by Paul Cianciolo.

NEWSOME

6-2 221 So./So. Eligible Quarterback Portsmouth, Va.

Several times a day, the pre-Christmas quiet at the Hilton Daytona Beach Hotel would be pleasantly broken by the sound of a grand piano on the second floor. When there was an opportunity before or after practice, meals and position meetings, Kevin Newsome honed his skills and entertained his teammates and coaches with his elegant piano playing. A young man with a vibrant personality and infectious smile, Newsome enjoys playing when the opportunity arises. Having arrived on the Penn State campus in January 2009, the highly-regarded player last year had the luxury of knowing he was going to spend 12 months learning from a first-team All-Big Ten quarterback in Daryll Clark. He also knew that he needed to quickly get assimilated and comfortable with the offense with a long-term eye toward 2010, but sooner in order to gain some game experience while Clark still was guiding the team. The athletic, vastly talented and intelligent Newsome has made substantial progress during the past year and is working hard to put himself into position to challenge for a more significant role this year. Newsome and Matt McGloin battled throughout spring practice and a decision on who will be the Nittany Lions’ starting quarterback won’t be made until closer to the season-opener. A U.S. Army All-American at Hargrave Military Academy, Newsome is an improved passer and a quick and elusive runner. He has great work-ethic and is a physical, instinctive player with a strong arm. One of the nation’s most highly-recruited prep players, he has quickly adapted and embraced what it takes to be a successful Penn State student-athlete, on and off the field and has a very promising future. Newsome is an engaging and enthusiastic player, whose confidence and skills will effectively translate into the huddle. A state champion hurdler in Virginia, Newsome is one of three returning Nittany Lions — joining Evan Hailes and Chima Okoli — in the long line of Tidewater Region standouts that have matriculated to Penn State under Joe Paterno. 2009 Freshman Season Newsome played in 10 games and made substantial progress during his first year as a Nittany Lion. The top reserve to first-team All-Big Ten choice Daryll Clark, Newsome completed 8-of-11 passes (72.7) for 66 yards, with a long completion of 14 yards during his true freshman season. He was fifth on the squad with 95 rushing yards, averaging 4.8 yards on his 20 attempts, and scoring twice. Newsome made his Penn State debut in the season-opener with Akron, going 3-of-4 for 26 yards and gaining 12 yards on two carries. He had a 15-yard burst in the win over Temple and a 16yard run in the victory at Illinois. Newsome gained a season-high 49 yards on seven carries against Eastern Illinois, scoring his first career touchdown on a nine-yard run. He also established seasonhighs in passing against the Panthers, going 4-of-5 for 34 yards. Newsome carried the ball three times for 13 yards and a touchdown in the win at Michigan State to conclude the regular-season. He was on the field for 50 snaps and was among eight true freshmen to see time for the Nittany Lions.

The Nittany Lion secondary returns three starters from 2009 and the unit has a bright future with no seniors among the projected starters. A player looking to make an impact this year for the young unit is Stephen Obeng-Agyapong, who heads into his first season on the field. After a strong spring practice season, Obeng-Agyapong should be in position to serve as the top reserve to returning starting free safety Nick Sukay. The former John F. Kennedy HS standout has good speed and quickness and a nose for the ball. With continued growth and development, Obeng-Agyapong is poised to become a key contributor on defense and special teams this fall. He is one of seven returning Nittany Lions from New York, four of whom are from metropolitan New York City. Obeng-Agyapong and junior tailback Stephfon Green were teammates at John F. Kennedy HS in the Bronx. Former Nittany Lions Nerraw McCormack and Shaine Thompson, members of the 2009 squad, also played at JFK.

WARNER ENSHRINED IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME

NITTANY LIONS SECOND IN NCAA ATTENDANCE FOR SEVENTH TIME IN LAST DECADE Penn State fans continue to prove why they are regarded as the best in the nation as they flocked to Beaver Stadium, the nation’s second largest facility, in near-record numbers last year. Sports Illustrated has called Beaver Stadium on football Saturdays “The Great Show in College Football” and 856,066 fans played an active part during the 2009 season, the secondhighest total in school history. Among the most vociferous and passionate fans are more than 21,000 students who were rated No. 1 in the nation by ESPN the Magazine in 2008. Nittany Lion fans ranked second in NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (Division I-A) football attendance during the 2009 season, for the seventh time in the past 10 years. Penn State has finished among the top four in FBS attendance for 19 consecutive years. Penn State’s loyal and enthusiastic fans delivered an average of 107,088 for eight home games in 2009, according to figures released by the NCAA. The school record average of 108,917 was set in 2007. Nittany Nation recorded Penn State’s second-highest overall home total attendance last season, narrowly edged by the 857,911 fans that came for the eight-game home slate in 2002. Penn State’s 107,008 average placed second among the 630 NCAA members surveyed, including 120 in the Football Bowl Subdivision. Michigan (108,933 avg.) led, followed by Penn State, Ohio State (105,261), Texas (101,175) and Tennessee (99,220). Georgia (92,746) was sixth, followed by LSU (92,489), Alabama (92,012), Florida (90,635) and Auburn (85,888). Since the 1991 season, the Nittany Lions have finished second in NCAA attendance in 1994, 2001, ‘02, ‘03 , ‘06, ‘07, ‘08 and ‘09, third in 1991, ‘92, ‘93, ‘95, ‘96, ‘97, ‘98 and ‘99 and fourth in 2000, ‘04 and ‘05.

Former Penn State All-America tailback Curt Warner was enshrined in the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame on July 17 at the Hall of Fame’s Enshrinement Festival. Warner is the 22nd member of the Penn State football family to be enshrined in the Hall of Fame, joining Joe Paterno, four former coaches and 16 players. Warner was inducted into the Hall on December 8, 2009 at the NFF’s 52nd annual awards dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. The Nittany Lions’ career rushing yardage leader, Warner led the Nittany Lions in rushing in 1980, ‘81 and ‘82, helping Penn State capture its first National Championship in 1982. When his brilliant career ended, he owned 42 school records. His 3,398 career rushing yards and 18 100-yard rushing games remain Penn State records. Warner is the only Nittany Lion running back to be selected a two-time first-team All-American.

NEARLY 50 LIONS EARN 3.0 GPA IN FALL SEMESTER The Penn State football team produced another outstanding academic performance during the Fall 2009 semester, with nearly 50 squad members compiling at least a 3.0 grade-point average. Among the 49 Nittany Lions, 17 earned Dean’s List recognition by posting a 3.5 GPA or higher for the semester. The total of 49 high achievers was third-highest in program history, trailing only 55 (Fall 2008) and 50 in Fall 2004. The total of 17 Nittany Lions that made the Dean’s List was tied for second-highest (tied with Spring 2008), trailing only the 19 honorees from the Fall 2008 semester. The Nittany Lions had 15 Academic All-Big Ten football honorees last fall, improving their conference-leading total to 241 since starting conference play in 1993.

Full name is Olong O. Ogbu. He is majoring in sociology. Born May 18, 1987 in New York, N.Y.

6-1 300 Sr./Sr. Eligible Defensive Tackle Staten Island, N.Y.

New York City doesn’t have a Football Bowl Subdivision/Division I-A program to call its own, but through the years thousands of college football fans in the Big Apple have adopted Penn State as their team. A steady stream of gridiron standouts from New York City, Long Island and northern New Jersey have made their way to Happy Valley. And, of course, Joe Paterno is one of their own, having been born and raised in Brooklyn. This year, there are four Nittany Lions from the New York side of the metropolitan area, including Staten Island’s Ollie Ogbu. He has played a prominent role for the Nittany Lions’ Top 10 defense the past two years and again will be counted on for significant contributions as a fifth-year senior. A strong, quick and highly-skilled athlete, Ogbu has started 22 games over the past two seasons. He brings a great attitude and enthusiasm to the field and takes a fierce pride in the Nittany Lions continuing to rank among the nation’s most difficult teams to run the ball against. Penn State has not allowed a 100-yard rusher in the last 16 games, the nation’s third-longest streak. The Nittany Lions held eight opponents to less than 100 rushing yards last season and ranked No. 6 in the nation in rushing defense at a measly 89.8 yards per game. The former Milford Academy All-American is an intense competitor with a relentless attitude and motor and the ability to make big plays. The hard-working and tough Ogbu goes about his business and quietly put together a highly productive campaign last season, recording eight minus-yardage hits among his 30 tackles. He is on schedule to graduate in December. Ogbu is among seven Nittany Lion returnees from the Empire State. 2009 Senior Season An honorable-mention All-Big Ten selection, Ogbu started every game and helped Penn State remain among the nation’s Top 10 defenses for a sixth consecutive season. Ogbu made 30 tackles, with 8.0 tackles for loss (minus-19 yards), two sacks and a team-high three forced fumbles. He ranked sixth in TFL on a team that led the Big Ten and was sixth in the nation in minus-yardage plays (8.08 per game). Ogbu was instrumental in helping the Nittany Lions hold eight opponents to less than 100 rushing yards and ranking No. 6 in the nation in rushing defense at 89.8 yards per game. He recorded a career-high six tackles in the season-opening 31-7 win over Akron, including 2.5 TFL. He helped hold the Zips to eight first downs (none in the first half), 28 rushing yards and 186 total yards. Ogbu made three tackles against Temple and forced a fumble that was recovered by Drew Astorino at the Owls’ 23 and led to a field goal. He made two tackles in the 52-3 victory over Eastern Illinois. Ogbu recorded a sack, 1.5 TFL and a forced fumble that Navorro Bowman returned 91 yards for a touchdown in the Eastern Illinois game, the longest fumble return in program history. The relentless Ogbu had three stops in the 20-0 blanking of Minnesota, including a minus-yardage play. He had a big game in the 34-13 win at Northwestern, recording four tackles and a sack, as the Lions held the Wildcats to less than half their season scoring average. In the 42-14 victory at Michigan State, Ogbu made two tackles, including one for a loss. He helped the Nittany Lions hold the Spartans 17 points below their scoring average and to just 94 yards rushing. Ogbu recorded two tackles and forced a fumble in the big win over LSU in the Capital One Bowl. Ogbu saw action on 423 snaps, led by 43 against Iowa.

A starter in nine contests, Ogbu recorded 17 tackles, including 2.5 tackles for losses, with two sacks. He made three stops each against Syracuse and Temple. In the Big Ten opener with Illinois, Ogbu made two hits, with 0.5 TFL. He recorded his first sack of the season in the 48-7 win at Wisconsin, good for a loss of six yards, and posted two tackles in the victory over Indiana.

He saw action on 369 snaps, led by 43 against Oregon State. 2007 Sophomore Season Playing in every game, with four starts, Ogbu was fourth on the squad with 10.0 TFL for minus29 yards. Only All-Big Ten honorees Maurice Evans, Dan Connor and Sean Lee delivered more minus-yardage plays than Ogbu. For the season, he made 18 tackles, with 10.0 TFL, one sack and one forced fumble. He was named to The Sporting News Freshman All-Big Ten team. He recorded two tackles, one for a loss, and forced a fumble against Florida International in his Nittany Lion debut. Ogbu recorded a season-high 3.0 TFL at Michigan among his season-best four tackles (three solo). He also had 2.5 TFL, with a sack, among his four stops in the win over Buffalo and added single minus-yardage hits against Wisconsin and Ohio State. Ogbu started the regular-season finale at Michigan State and recorded three tackles. He made one minus-yardage hit in the 24-17 victory over Texas A&M in the Valero Alamo Bowl. Ogbu was on the field for 390 plays, led by 50 in the win over the Aggies and 47 snaps at Michigan. 2006 Freshman Season Redshirt season.

NATION’S BEST EIGHT ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICANS® IN PAST TWO YEARS For the second consecutive year, the Penn State football program was at the head of the class in ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America® selections. Three Nittany Lions repeated their Academic All-America® accolades on the 2009 team: senior linebacker Josh Hull, senior kick snapper Andrew Pitz and junior center Stefen Wisniewski. Hull and Pitz become the seventh and eighth Nittany Lions to earn first-team Academic All-America® honors twice. A program-record five Nittany Lions were selected to the 2008 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America® team. Penn State has had 12 Academic All-Americans® over the past four years, with 10 first-team honorees. During Joe Paterno’s tenure, Penn State has had 44 ESPN The Magazine Academic AllAmericans®, with 34 named first-team. The Nittany Lions’ 46 Academic All-Americans® alltime are No. 3 in the nation among Football Bowl Subdivision programs.

The 2009 campaign was a tale of three varying segments for DeOn’tae Pannell, all encompassed within the 12 weeks of the regular-season. Heading into the season, Penn State had three holes on the offensive line left by three graduated All-Big Ten starters that needed to be filled. After a strong spring practice, Pannell found himself atop the depth chart at left tackle. But, in August, the talented and strong sophomore flipped tackle spots with Dennis Landolt and started the initial four games at right tackle. During the Illinois game, the former Wylie E. Groves HS standout sprained an ankle, though, forcing him to the sideline. Pannell missed the next two games and returned to the field to help Penn State win at Michigan and at Northwestern. During the Ohio State game, left guard Johnnie Troutman suffered a leg injury. The following week, Pannell was shifted to left guard, where he started the final two regular-season contests, helping the Nittany Lions score a combined 73 points in victories over Indiana and Michigan State. The highly-skilled and versatile Pannell is an instrumental member of an offensive line that helped Penn State average 4.7 yards per carry and 406.9 yards per game, second-best in the Big Ten last year. He remained at left guard during spring drills and he and Troutman likely will continue their competition during preseason camp. A first-team all-state player from suburban Detroit, he is a big athlete with good agility. Pannell has a great workethic, attitude and physical attributes and should have an opportunity to play a significant role for the offense the next two seasons. Pannell is one of the squad’s most active members in community service. The past two years, he has been among the 25-30 Nittany Lions that welcomed more than 30 THON Make-A-Wish children to the Lasch Football Building during THON Weekend in February. This past May, Pannell and five teammates traveled to Mifflintown, Pa. to participate in a Children’s Miracle Network Kids’ Fun Fest. Pannell and linebacker Chris Colasanti are returning Nittany Lions from Michigan.

PLAYER BIOS 2009 Sophomore Season Pannell’s development at guard and tackle helped to stabilize and improve the line of an offense that ranked No. 5 in the conference in scoring (28.8 ppg) and was the only Big Ten team ranked in the top five of the conference’s four primary offensive statistical categories: total, scoring, rushing (169.8 ypg) and passing offense (237.2 ypg). Behind the protection of Pannell and his linemates, quarterback Daryll Clark finished No. 2 in the Big Ten in passing efficiency and delivered a schoolrecord 24 touchdown passes. Penn State finished third in the Big Ten in fewest sacks allowed. Pannell started the initial four games at right tackle and a total of seven games during the year. During the Illinois game, he sprained an ankle, though, and missed the next two games. He returned to the field to help Penn State win at Michigan and at Northwestern. During the Ohio State game, Johnnie Troutman suffered a leg injury. The following week, Pannell was shifted to left guard, where he started the final two regular-season contests, helping the Lions score a combined 73 points in victories over Indiana and Michigan State. In the 42-14 win over his homestate Spartans, he helped set the tone for one of Penn State’s most dominating offensive efforts of the season. The Nittany Lions amassed 512 yards, their fourth game of 500 or more yards last season, and had a seasonhigh 10 plays of 20 yards or more from scrimmage, with four going for touchdowns. Pannell also started in the Nittany Lions’ 19-17 win over LSU in the 2010 Capital One Bowl. He saw action on 402 snaps, led by 77 against Indiana. 2008 Freshman Season Pannell made his collegiate debut in the opener with Coastal Carolina and quickly established himself as the top reserve to all-conference senior Gerald Cadogan at left tackle. Playing in eight games, Pannell made significant progress as the season unfolded. He saw action on 89 snaps, led by 20 against Coastal Carolina and 17 at Syracuse. Pannell was one of four true freshmen to see playing time. High School Pannell was a standout two-way lineman for Coach Brendan Flaherty at Wylie E. Groves HS. He played center and defensive tackle, starting for three years on the offensive line. Pannell was named to the Detroit Free Press 2007 All-State Dream Team and Scout.com rated him among the nation’s Top 25 offensive tackles. During his senior season, he recorded 18 tackles for loss, eight sacks and four pass breakups. He was the captain of the track and field team, competing in the shot put and discus, and also was captain of the basketball squad. Personal Full name is DeOn’tae Jamar Pannell. He is the son of Mavis Pannell. He has one younger sister, Ciara. Two cousins, Jamar Landrum and Jim Landrum Jr., played football at Tennessee State University and the University of Saint Francis (Ind.), respectively. Pannell enjoys playing basketball, video games and going to the movies. He is majoring in crime, law and justice and may be interested in coaching at the collegiate level after his football career. Born March 19, 1990 in Detroit, Mich.

LINEBACKER UNIT TO FEATURE THREE NEW STARTERS Among the most compelling battles during preseason camp should be the ones for significant playing time at linebacker. Seniors Bani Gbadyu (37 tackles) and Chris Colasanti (18 tackles, 1 sack), junior Nate Stupar (31 tackles, 1 sack) and sophomores Gerald Hodges (3 tackles) and Michael Mauti (26 tackles, 1.0 TFL in 2008) figure to be the primary challengers. Mauti took a medical redshirt last season after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in preseason practice last fall. Gbadyu has eight career starts and played in every game last season, as did Stupar, who started two games when Navorro Bowman was hurt and made a career-high 12 tackles against Akron.

CHAZ

POWELL

6-1 193 Sr./Jr. Eligible Cornerback New Freedom, Pa.

Nittany Nation, and the opposition, have witnessed the difference Chaz Powell can make in a game. On Penn State’s first play against Iowa last year, wideout Powell flew downfield past a Hawkeye defender, looked up into the Beaver Stadium lights, saw the pigskin hurtling toward him through the rain, gained separation and caught the ball in stride near the 35-yard line, racing into the end zone as the Whitehouse crowd of 109,316 erupted. The 79-yard scoring strike was tied for the eighth-longest completion in school history and highlighted the athleticism and skills Powell brings to the field. A month later in Ann Arbor, Powell returned the opening kickoff of the second half 54 yards, the Nittany Lions’ longest kickoff return of the season. The huge return set up a touchdown in Penn State’s 35-10 win in Michigan Stadium. With the Nittany Lions loaded with many talented wideouts, the athletic and swift Powell moved to cornerback prior to spring practice. It has been a good transition for the former Susquehannock HS standout, who played safety during his freshman redshirt season in 2007. He will be looking to challenge sophomore Stephon Morris for a starting assignment and thrust himself into the secondary rotation. Powell is a gifted, hard-working and confident young man who with continued great effort should play a significant role with the defense and special teams the next two seasons. 2009 Junior Season Playing in 12 games, with nine starts at wide receiver, Powell was fourth on the squad with 28 receptions for 366 yards (13.1) and three touchdowns. He was ninth in the Big Ten in kickoff returns with a 23.2-yard average, with a long of 54 yards. He was on the field for 395 snaps, led by 53 against the Hawkeyes. Powell made a team and career-high seven receptions for 65 yards in the season-opening win over Akron, including an eight-yard touchdown reception from Daryll Clark. He made his first career start against Syracuse and led the team with four catches for 40 yards against Temple. In the primetime meeting with Iowa, Powell made three receptions for a career-high 96 yards. As Powell crossed midfield on Penn State’s first play from scrimmage against the Hawkeyes, he looked up into the Beaver Stadium lights, saw the pigskin hurtling toward him through the rain, gained separation and caught the ball in stride near the 35-yard line, racing into the end zone as the Whitehouse crowd of 109,316 erupted. The 79-yard scoring strike was the longest catch of Powell’s career, Clark’s longest career completion and Penn State’s longest play from scrimmage in 2009. The play also was tied for the eighth-longest completion in school history. Powell led the Lions with four catches for 79 yards in the Eastern Illinois game, including a leaping 51-yard catch. He added a 19-yard reverse. Powell kept a drive alive at Michigan when he picked up 11 big yards on a reverse play on third down. He delivered a big play at Michigan when he returned the opening kickoff of the second half 54 yards, the Lions’ longest kickoff return of 2009. The return set up a touchdown in the 35-10 win. Powell made five receptions for 39 yards in the 34-13 win at Northwestern. He had a six-yard run on the second play of the Indiana game, but left with a shoulder injury. He did not play in the win at Michigan State due to the shoulder injury. Powell returned to the starting lineup in the Capital One Bowl victory over LSU, where he hauled in one reception for 11 yards. 2008 Sophomore Season On his second collegiate carry in the season-opener with Coastal Carolina, Powell took the ball around the right end and broke free down the sideline, scoring on a 55-yard run in the third quarter. He gained 60 yards on two carries to launch a successful redshirt freshman campaign. Powell accumulated 370 all-purpose yards, the second-highest total among non-starters. He averaged 28.8 yards on nine kickoff returns, led by a 69-yard burst at Syracuse to set up a Collin Wagner field goal in the third quarter. Powell gained 74 rushing yards on eight carries, for a team-best 9.2-yard average, and two touchdowns. He also caught two passes against the Orange for 37 yards, with a long of 22 yards, giving him a season-best 105 all-purpose yards. Powell tallied his second career touchdown on a seven-yard run in the win over Temple. He had a strong special teams effort in the win against Michigan, returning two kickoffs for 75 yards. His 43-yard return after the Wolverines had taken a 10-0 lead provided a big momentum boost for the Nittany Lions. Two plays later, Evan Royster burst up the middle on a 44-yard score to begin a 46-7 run to end the game. Powell also returned a kickoff 25 yards in the 49-18 victory over Michigan State. In the 2009 Rose Bowl against Southern California, Powell gained 58 yards on three kickoff returns. He was on the field for 141 plays, led by 26 snaps against the Wolverines.

Someone unfamiliar with Penn State’s location in the middle of Pennsylvania might not realize that New England is less than a five-hour, all interstate highway drive from Happy Valley. That was not lost on Silas Redd, or his friend Khairi Fortt, as they weighed their college choices, ultimately deciding to come to Penn State, where they first forged their friendship at the Nittany Lions’ summer football camp. And so, the family and friends of Redd will soon get used to all the sights and key exits along Interstates 84, 81 and 80 leading to State College. One of the nation’s most highlyrecruited running backs, the gifted Redd averaged more than 14 yards per carry as a senior at the King Low Heywood Thomas School in Stamford, Conn. Redd was among five future Nittany Lions selected to play in the 2010 U.S. Army All-American Bowl and then became one of seven members of the 2010 recruiting class to enroll in classes at Penn State in January. Redd is an elusive runner, with great speed and power and should have an opportunity to have an impact during his true freshman season. Redd made very good strides during winter conditioning and spring practice. He gained 16 yards on four carries in the Blue-White game and added one reception for 10 yards.

ROYSTER

6-1 224 Gr./Sr. Eligible Tailback Fairfax, Va.

Evan Royster has distinguished himself amongst all the superlative running backs that have worn the blue and white. His 22-yard burst on his first carry in last season’s win at Michigan State pushed him past the 1,000-yard mark for the second consecutive year, becoming just the seventh Nittany Lion to record multiple 1,000-yard campaigns. The vastly talented and intelligent Royster has joined a great fraternity. Curt Warner, Tony Hunt, Blair Thomas, Curtis Enis, Ki-Jana Carter and Heisman Trophy winner John Cappelletti are the only other Lions to accomplish the feat. Selected a third-team preseason All-American by Phil Steele’s College Preview, the quick and elusive Royster already has passed some of the Penn State greats in career rushing, entering the season in eighth place with 2,918 yards. An All-America and Doak Walker Award candidate, Royster stands 481 yards away from breaking Warner’s school career record of 3,398 rushing yards. Penn State began last season with three new offensive linemen and four different starting O-Line units in the first six games, but the instinctive and strong Royster built on his successful 2008 campaign. His 5.7-yard per carry average led all conference players with at least 110 carries last year and he eclipsed the 100-yard mark in six games, giving him 12 career century-busting performances. It should come as no surprise that when Royster has success on the ground the team benefits, as Penn State is 12-0 when he cracks the century mark. The tough and multi-talented Royster was selected 2009 firstteam All-Big Ten by the coaches and media after receiving second-team accolades in 2008. He was No. 2 in the Big Ten in rushing at 89.9 ypg and fifth in all-purpose yards (104.9 ypg). A quiet, mature and no-nonsense young man, Royster goes about his business on the field with great determination and a sense of purpose. He gained 1,169 yards on 205 carries in 2009, with six touchdowns. He also had 16 receptions for 187 yards (11.7) and two scores and tallied a team-high 1,364 all-purpose yards. He has tremendous vision and the ability to quickly adapt while carrying the ball in order to maximize the opportunities each play presents. Royster is an accomplished all-around student-athlete who also was a highly-recruited lacrosse player at Westfield HS. Selected to play in the prestigious North-South All-American lacrosse game, he had offers from perennial lacrosse powers Johns Hopkins and Virginia, among others, to play lacrosse. But, the opportunity to play for a Hall of Fame coach, play Big Ten football in arguably the nation’s best atmosphere and earn a world-class education won out. One of 10 semifinalists for the 2008 Doak Walker Award, Royster is a gifted runner, receiver and blocker. Royster was on schedule to earn his degree in management information systems in August. He compiled a 3.34 grade-point average during the spring semester.

Penn State began the season with three new offensive linemen and four different starting OLine units in the first six games, but Royster built on his successful 2008 campaign by eclipsing the 100-yard mark in six games, giving him 12 career century-busting performances. Royster was selected 2009 first-team All-Big Ten by the coaches and media after receiving second-team accolades in 2008.

He eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for the second consecutive season on a 22-yard run on Penn State’s opening drive at Michigan State. He also had a 30yard burst, averaging 8.8 yards on his 13 carries against the Spartans. Royster cracked the century mark for the 12th time in his career and the Lions remained unbeaten in such contests. He came up big in the 19-17 victory over LSU in the Capital One Bowl as he ran for 65 yards on 17 carries in challenging conditions. Royster was on the field for 593 plays, led by 64 in the win over Minnesota. 2008 Junior Season Talented and experienced offensive line and wide receiver units and a highly-effective throwing and running quarterback produced a great situation for Royster, who won the primary ball-carrying duties in preseason and had a breakout campaign. Royster was impressive, gaining 1,236 rushing yards on 191 attempts (6.5) and scoring 12 touchdowns. One of 10 semifinalists for the 2008 Doak Walker Award, Royster’s 1,236 yards ranked as the 10th-best rushing season in Penn State history and were a school record for a sophomore, eclipsing Curtis Enis’ 1,210 yards in 1996. Royster also ranked third on the squad with 17 receptions for 155 yards, compiling 1,391 all-purpose yards, second only to Derrick Williams. Rushing for 100 yards or more five times, his 72 points were sixth-high-

With the Nittany Lions putting up big numbers in offensive yardage and on the scoreboard, it wasn’t until the 10th game of the season that Royster carried the ball more than 20 times in a contest, enabling him to remain fresher and take less of a pounding than other runners as the season progressed. Playing in every game, with 12 starts, Royster gained 64 yards on just eight carries in the opener with Coastal Carolina, scoring on runs of 2, 7 and 10 yards.

He shared Big Ten Offensive Player-of-the-Week accolades. Royster eclipsed the 100-yard mark for the second consecutive week in the victory at Syracuse, totaling 103 yards on just 13 carries for a sterling 7.8 yards per carry average.

The former Westlake HS standout made an impressive debut in the season-opener against Akron, gaining 75 all-purpose yards via two receptions, two kick returns and one carry. He appeared in 11 games last season. A former Maryland prep state champion in the 100 and 200 meters, Smith is a talented, multi-dimensional player. Possessing great quickness, athleticism and instincts, Smith has the ability to influence an opposing defense with, or without, the ball in his hands. He will need to continue to work hard and improve in his bid to play a more significant role with the offense and on special teams in 2010. Smith is one of 10 returning Nittany Lions from Maryland. 2009 Freshman Season Smith made two receptions for 25 yards, had two kick returns for 43 yards and one rush for seven yards in an impressive collegiate debut, helping the Nittany Lions beat Akron in the seasonopener. Smith appeared in 11 games, making four catches for 30 yards, rushing for 33 yards on just four carries (8.2) and gaining 91 yards on five kickoff returns. He also made catches against Syracuse and Iowa. Smith suffered a mild concussion against Iowa and did not travel for the Illinois game. He returned to the field the following week to deliver a season-long 18-yard scamper against Eastern Illinois. Smith was on the field for 100 snaps, led by 17 in the win over Temple. High School Smith was a standout athlete at Westlake HS. As a senior for Coach Dom Zaccarelli, he gained 1,816 yards on 250 carries and scored 24 touchdowns. Smith also gained 422 receiving yards on 18 receptions and scored four times. He returned three kicks for touchdowns. He earned wide receiver MVP honors at the 2007 Nike Camp.

OGBU TO LEAD DEFENSIVE LINE In addition to Jared Odrick, the Nittany Lions have lost the services of defensive end Jerome Hayes, who was a strong leader within the 2009 senior class. Senior defensive tackle Ollie Ogbu will be counted on to provide continued strong play and leadership for the defensive line. A two-year starter, he made 30 tackles, with 8.0 tackles for loss, two sacks and a team-high three forced fumbles last year. Junior Devon Still made significant strides last season coming off two injuries and should be a strong contender for the other starting tackle spot. He made 19 stops last season, with 5.5 TFL and two sacks. Junior defensive end Jack Crawford started every game in 2009 and emerged as one of the Big Ten’s top defensive play-makers. Crawford was second on the team with 14.5 TFL, including 5.5 sacks for minus-44 yards, and ranked in the Top 10 in the conference in both categories. Junior Eric Latimore started five contests last year and also has demonstrated bigplay capability, recording 3.5 sacks among his six minus-yardage plays. Junior Kevion Latham (8 tackles, 4.0 TFL) and sophomore Sean Stanley (11 tackles, 2 sacks) also should be strong challengers for significant playing time.

STANLEY

6-1 242 So./So. Eligible Defensive End Rockville, Md.

The Nittany Lions entered the 2009 season lacking in experience at defensive end and the coaching staff quickly turned to Sean Stanley to help provide depth and make big plays. The talented and athletic Stanley played in 12 games during his true freshman season, delivering a pair of sacks. He finished last season by contributing to the Nittany Lions’ 19-17 win over LSU, located in the city where he was born. An All-Met standout at Gaithersburg HS, Stanley has made substantial progress during his first year as a Nittany Lion and should be a strong contender for significant playing time at defensive end this year. He has a bright future with a unit that lost the services of Jerome Hayes. Stanley is one of 10 returning Nittany Lions from Maryland. 2009 Freshman Season Stanley made his Penn State debut in the opener against Akron and played in 12 games. He recorded 11 tackles, including 2.5 for a loss, with one forced fumble and a pass breakup. He delivered two sacks for minus-15 yards, dropping the quarterback in the wins over Illinois and Indiana. Stanley also forced Juice Williams to fumble on a sack and Jack Crawford recovered at the Illini 14yard line in Penn State’s win in Champaign. Stanley’s season-high tackle total of two came against Akron, and was matched in the wins over Illinois, Indiana and Michigan State. He played on 160 snaps, topped by 23 in the victory at Michigan State. High School Stanley earned all-state, all-county and all-conference honors under Coach Kreg Kephart at Gaithersburg HS. He also received Washington Post first-team All-Met accolades after recording 27 sacks and more than 70 tackles for a loss during his career. In his senior season, he made 78 tackles, including 24 minus-yardage plays. He also recorded 12 sacks and forced five fumbles in 2008.

DEVON

STILL

6-5 304 Sr./Jr. Eligible Defensive Tackle Wilmington, Del.

It has been a long and challenging road for defensive tackle Devon Still, but last year he emerged as one of the squad’s most improved players during his first full season on the field. Having suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee as a true freshman in 2007, Still’s hard work in his rehabilitation seemingly went for naught when he suffered a broken ankle during preseason camp in 2008. Still battled back to play in the regular-season finale with Michigan State that year and after remaining healthy through the 2009 spring practice and preseason, became a valuable contributor for the D-Line. Nittany Nation should have much more of an opportunity this fall to see the skills and athleticism that made him an all-state defensive tackle at Howard Technology HS. With the graduation of All-American Jared Odrick, Still should be a primary contender for a starting assignment in 2010. He finished spring practice atop the depth chart at one of the defensive tackle spots. Still has great physical attributes, talent and a hard-charging motor. He has demonstrated big-play capability and should emerge as a significant contributor the next two seasons. He is among five returning Nittany Lions from Delaware. 2009 Junior Season Playing in every game, Still made 19 stops, including 5.5 tackles for minus-15 yards. He recorded two sacks, including dropping Tate Forcier for a 10-yard loss in the Nittany Lions’ 35-10 win at Michigan. Still recorded a minus-yardage play in five of the final six contests. He made a career-high three tackles each against Syracuse and Ohio State and had two stops in six other games. He recorded two tackles in the big Capital One Bowl win over LSU, including one for negative yardage. Still was on the field for 348 plays, led by 45 in the win over Indiana and 40 each against Illinois and Michigan.

STUPAR

6-1 234 Sr./Jr. Eligible Linebacker State College, Pa.

Penn State has led the nation each of the past two years in ESPN The Magazine Academic AllAmerica® selections, with five in 2008 and three last year. Over the past four seasons, 12 Nittany Lions have earned Academic All-America® honors, including linebackers Paul Posluszny, Tim Shaw and Josh Hull. The “Linebacker U.” tradition of excellence on the field and in the classroom looks to keep rolling this fall, with senior Chris Colasanti and junior Nate Stupar as likely Academic AllAmerica® candidates. The talented and instinctive Stupar finished spring drills atop the depth chart at one of the outside linebacker spots. He is one of the squad’s top students, owning a 3.60 gradepoint average after the spring semester, having compiled a 3.85 GPA for the second consecutive semester to again earn Dean’s List recognition. The hard-hitting, athletic and intense Stupar is a twotime Academic All-Big Ten honoree. Interested in becoming a film director when his football career is over, Stupar spent a portion of his summer doing an internship with a video production crew at Camp Woodward, near State College. The breadth of talent at “Linebacker U.” never was more evident than at the beginning of last season, when both of Penn State’s returning All-Big Ten linebackers suffered injuries that kept them off the field for multiple games. The initial injury was suffered by Navorro Bowman in the first quarter of the season-opener with Akron. Stupar got the call and responded with the top performance of his career, recording 12 tackles, including a sack. He went on to record 31 tackles for the season, the second-highest total among defensive reserves. The former State College Area HS all-state selection is a member of one of the prominent families in program history. He has an appreciation and understanding of Penn State football to a higher degree than most of his teammates. Stupar’s father, Steve, was a Nittany Lion lineman from 1976-79. Uncles Ron, Doug and Jeff Hostetler all played for Penn State in the same era. With the graduation of all three starting linebackers from last year, the versatile and intelligent Stupar should be among the primary candidates to play a significant role for the defense and special teams the next two years. He is among three returnees from State College. 2009 Junior Season Stupar recorded a career-high 12 tackles (eight solo), including a sack, in the win over Akron to launch a season that saw him play in every game on defense and special teams. He made 31 tackles, the second-highest total among defensive reserves, and earned his first two career starts. He also had 1.5 tackles for loss and one interception. Stupar was on the field for 324 plays, led by 65 against Akron, as he took the field in the first quarter when Navorro Bowman was injured. Stupar made his first career start against Syracuse and recorded five stops. He also collected his first career interception, returning it 17 yards to the Orange two-yard line to set up a touchdown. Stupar started against Temple and again recorded five tackles, helping hold the Owls to two field goals. He suffered a slight ankle sprain that limited his time the following week against Iowa. In the road win at Illinois, he made three hits and he had two stops each against Ohio State and Indiana. Stupar compiled a 3.85 grade-point average during the fall semester and was selected Academic All-Big Ten for the second time. 2008 Sophomore Season Stupar was a key contributor for the special teams and gained experience on defense. Playing in every game, he recorded 21 tackles, blocked two punts and forced another punter to abandon his kick. In his second collegiate game, Stupar broke through the Oregon State punt protection unit and forced the Beavers’ punter to run with the ball. Stupar dropped him for a nine-yard loss and two plays later Evan Royster burst 28 yards to give Penn State a 21-0 lead en route to the 45-14 thumping. After several near misses on punt block attempts, Stupar finally got one in the 46-17 win over Michigan. He got a hand on a third-quarter punt, and it traveled only 12 yards. The deflection gave Penn State excellent field position and resulted in a Kevin Kelly 32-yard field goal for a 29-17 lead and a continuation of the game’s momentum swing. Stupar recorded his second blocked punt against Indiana deep in Hoosier territory, resulting in a Kelly field goal and a lead the Lions would not relinquish in the 34-7 victory. Playing in every game and 290 snaps, Stupar made a season-high five tackles each against Coastal Carolina and Oregon State. He also had two stops each in the wins over Syracuse, Temple, Wisconsin and Indiana. He was on the field for a season-high 42 plays against Coastal Carolina. Stupar compiled a 3.58 grade-point average during the fall semester to gain Dean’s List and Academic All-Big Ten honors. 2007 Freshman Season Redshirt season. Stupar tied for game-high honors with six tackles in the 2008 Blue-White game. High School Rated among the nation’s Top 10 defensive end/OLB prep prospects in 2006, Stupar was a versatile standout for Coach Al Wolski at State College Area HS. He played multiple positions during his prep career, including tight end, running back, receiver, linebacker and defensive end. Stupar was named the Pennsylvania Defensive Player-of-the-Year and the Mid-Penn Defensive MVP as a senior. He was selected first-team Associated Press all-state as a junior and senior. During his career, he recorded 192 tackles, including 31 sacks, and one interception. A team captain, he made 60

stops with eight sacks as a senior. Stupar was a prolific receiver, with 91 career catches for 1,388 yards and 18 touchdowns, including 39 grabs for 624 yards and eight scores as a senior. He also ran for 216 yards on 24 carries and scored two touchdowns in 2006. A 2007 Big 33 selection, Stupar was instrumental in State College Area reaching the 2006 Pennsylvania Class AAAA state semifinals. An honor roll student, he also was a two-year starter for the basketball and lacrosse squads. Personal Full name is Stephen Nathan Stupar.

Suhey’s 2009 Game-by-Game Rushing (Carries-Yards-TD)

The Nittany Lions opened the first and last games of the 2009 regular-season with a pair of running backs in the starting lineup — tailback Evan Royster and fullback Joe Suhey. It certainly was appropriate for Suhey to get the opening nod in the Akron and Michigan State contests to bookend what was a highly productive season. The athletic and sure-handed Suhey has emerged as a reliable and effective runner, receiver and blocker. A quick and strong runner, he is a multi-talented player who brings toughness to the field. Playing in every game last season, Suhey joined the offensive line and tight ends in receiving much of the credit for the effectiveness of the Nittany Lions’ prolific rushing and passing attacks, helping Penn State to finish second in the Big Ten in total offense. The former Loyola Academy standout is a hard worker who has made substantial strides the past two seasons as a significant contributor on offense and special teams. The assertive and intelligent player will be counted on for numerous contributions the next two seasons. Suhey comes from a family that is as synonymous to Penn State football as the Paterno namesake. He is a fourth-generation Nittany Lion hailing from arguably the first family of Penn State football. His father, Matt, was a standout running back at Penn State from 1976-79 before starting a highly-successful career with the Chicago Bears. His great-grandfather, Bob Higgins, was Penn State’s second All-American, earning honors in 1915 and ’19 and served as head coach from 1930-48. Joe’s grandfather, Steve Suhey, was a letterman at guard in 1942 and again in 1946-47, earning All-America honors his senior season. That gives the Higgins-Suhey family an amazing 94 years of involvement with the Penn State program of the 123 seasons it has existed, prior to this season.

Suhey was fifth on the squad with 21 receptions for 186 yards and one touchdown and gained 68 rushing yards on 22 carries. He finished the regular-season with a strong performance. He made three catches for 40 yards in the win at Michigan State, including a leaping 30-yard catch-and-run down the far sideline for his first career receiving touchdown. The reception was a career-long and gave Penn State a twotouchdown lead in the eventual 42-14 victory. Suhey also gained 16 yards on just three carries against the Spartans. In his first career start, he made a career-best four catches for 40 yards in the win over Akron. He tied his high with four receptions for 32 yards in the Senior Day victory over Indiana and had a 15-yard catch in the win at Illinois. Suhey was highly effective in the 35-10 win at Michigan, gaining 18 yards on just three carries. Suhey played on 361 snaps, led by 44 in the big win over LSU in the 2010 Capital One Bowl and 32 in the victory over Syracuse. 2008 Sophomore Season In his first season on the field, Suhey saw action in every game on offense and special teams. He proved to be an effective runner, receiver and blocker in his redshirt freshman campaign. Suhey gained 26 yards on nine carries and had two receptions for 36 yards. In his collegiate debut, against Coastal Carolina, Suhey gained 11 yards on three carries and made one catch for 17 yards. He gained 11 yards on three carries against Temple, including a season-long nine-yard run. He caught a season-long 19-yard pass in the 48-7 win at Wisconsin. Suhey was on the field for 172 snaps, led by 24 each against Coastal Carolina and Temple. 2007 Freshman Season Redshirt season. Suhey scored a touchdown and gained 17 yards on six carries in the 2008 Blue-White game. High School Suhey was a standout player at Loyola Academy. His high school coach was John Holecek, a former Buffalo Bills linebacker. As a receiver, Suhey made touchdown receptions of 25, 35 and 45 yards. He earned team MVP, all-conference and all-area honors and was honorable-mention allstate. He also was a three-year starter for the basketball team and a team captain. He played with Michael Jordan’s two sons, Jeff and Marcus, at Loyola Academy. Personal Full name is Joseph Steven Suhey. He is the son of Matt and Donna Suhey. He has one brother, Scotty, and a sister, Allison. His father was a standout running back at Penn State from 1976-79, rushing for 2,818 yards, good for No. 9 on the school career list, and 26 touchdowns before starting a lengthy career with the NFL Chicago Bears. His mother also is a Penn State graduate. Joe’s greatgrandfather, Bob Higgins, was the second All-American in Penn State football history, receiving the honor in 1915 and again in 1919, and later served as head coach from 1930-48. Joe’s grandfather, Steve Suhey, was a letterman at guard in 1942 and again in 1946-47, earning All-America honors his senior season. He married one of Bob Higgins’ daughters, Ginger. Three of their sons, Paul, Larry and Matt, played for Penn State in the 1970s. One of Joe’s first cousins, Kevin Suhey, was a quarterback and special teams player for the Nittany Lions from 2005-07 and graduated in 2008. Joe is a recreation, park and tourism management major and compiled a 3.22 grade-point average for the 2009 spring semester. Born May 30, 1989 in Chicago, Ill.

PENN STATE CLAIMS 24TH LAMBERT TROPHY UNDER PATERNO Penn State won an unprecedented 28th Lambert Meadowlands Trophy in 2009. Symbolic of Eastern football supremacy, the award is presented by the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC). The Nittany Lions also were selected ECAC Team-of-the-Year for a record 13th time. In addition to the team accolades, quarterback Daryll Clark was named the ECAC Playerof-the-Year for the Football Bowl Subdivision, leading a group of five Nittany Lions that were named ECAC All-Stars among FBS institutions. Joe Paterno’s squad topped Big East Champion Cincinnati in the final ECAC Lambert Meadowlands Poll presented by FieldTurf to earn its 24th Lambert Trophy under the Hall of Fame coach. Established in 1936 by brothers Victor and Henry Lambert in memory of their father, August, the Lambert Meadowlands Trophy was first captured by Penn State in 1947, led by Coach Bob Higgins. Coach Rip Engle guided Lambert winners in 1961, ’64 and ’65. The first of Paterno’s 24 Lambert titles came in 1967, his second year as head coach. Sixteen institutions have captured the Lambert Meadowlands Trophy, but no four schools combined can match Penn State’s 28 titles. The Nittany Lions were selected ECAC Team-of-the-Year for a record 13th time since becoming eligible in 1985. Penn State has won the Lambert Trophy and ECAC Team-of-theYear accolades three times in the past five years (2005, 2008 and 2009).

PATERNOS PLEDGE $1 MILLION TO MOUNT NITTANY MEDICAL CENTER Joe and Sue Paterno announced a $1 million pledge before more than 200 guests who gathered in June 2009 at Mount Nittany Medical Center to watch the final steel beam hoisted atop the medical center’s new east wing. Their gift is part of the most ambitious fundraising effort in the Medical Center’s history. The Paternos’ announcement came just minutes after they signed the steel beam, along with the other guests gathered, and before it was placed at the top of the multi-million dollar East Wing expansion during what the Medical Center dubbed its “sky breaking” ceremony. As residents of State College for more than 50 years, Joe and Sue Paterno have been long-time supporters of the Medical Center. Most recently and in addition to serving as cochairs for the campaign, Joe and Sue Paterno also were heavily involved in the employee giving campaign, matching donations made by employees. “This gift demonstrates our continued pride in this community and gratitude for the profound expertise and care of our physicians, Jon Dranov and Wayne Sebastianelli,” said Joe Paterno. “We see great things for this community and its future growth, and we are excited to be part of assuring continued excellence in our local healthcare, now and for generations to come.” A kickoff announced the “Commitment to Distinction” campaign’s goal in June 2008. Significant gifts already had been committed by generous members of the community in support of a vital facilities expansion aimed at improving the patient experience at the Medical Center. The cornerstone of the expansion will be the three-floor, 42,000-square-foot expansion of the existing east wing. Projected to open in 2010, the addition of two in-patient floors and one intensive care floor will offer single-patient rooms and increase intensive care capacity.

SZCZERBA

6-6 255 Sr./Jr. Eligible Tight End Wilmington, Del.

Andrew Szczerba has worked hard and remained patient and focused on the future and greater opportunities to play a larger role for the offense. Andrew Quarless and Mickey Shuler earned the bulk of the playing time last season at tight end but have graduated, creating an opportunity for Szczerba to play a much more significant role this season. He is a noted tireless worker with an excellent attitude and physical attributes and should have an opportunity to be a major contributor for the offense the next two years. The highly-skilled athlete has played in every game the past two years on offense and special teams. He is a big target, with soft hands, good speed and mobility. The coaching staff selected Szczerba as co-recipient of the 2010 Frank Patrick Total Commitment Award with linebacker Chris Colasanti. Szczerba is one of the squad’s most active players in Community service and enjoys interacting with youth. In high school, Szczerba watched with great interest as the Nittany Lions won the 2005 Big Ten Championship and a berth in the FedEx Orange Bowl. Having led Salesianum HS to state titles in 2005 and ‘06, he is looking forward to helping the Nittany Lions return to the national championship picture. The 2006 Gatorade Player-of-the-Year in Delaware, he is one of five First State natives on the Penn State squad. 2009 Junior Season Szczerba played in every game for the second consecutive year. He was on the field for 107 snaps. He again was among the squad’s most consistently productive contributors on special teams. He made one catch for six yards in the win over Temple.

During his initial two years as a Nittany Lion, James Terry has had the opportunity to gain experience as a lineman on both sides of the ball. Having begun 2009 at guard, he was shifted to defensive tackle as the season unfolded, where he played as a foreign team true freshman in 2008. The departure of All-American Jared Odrick presents an opportunity along the defensive interior line and Terry will be looking to battle Ollie Ogbu, Devon Still and Jordan Hill for time in the rotation. The former Brandywine HS standout made good strides during winter conditioning and spring practice. Terry has good size and skills and is one of five returning Nittany Lions from Delaware. 2009 Sophomore Season Terry spent some time on the offensive line, but by the end of the season was back at defensive tackle assisting one of the nation’s top units.

2010 PENN STATE FOOTBALL

The first six games of the 2009 season resulted in four different starting units for the offensive line, due to injuries and trying to find the best combination. One of the changes saw Johnnie Troutman move into the starting left guard spot and he helped improve and stabilize the unit as the season progressed. He has made considerable progress in the past year and likely will continue to battle DeOn’tae Pannell for a starting assignment when preseason practice begins. Possessing very good physical attributes and skills, Troutman started eight consecutive games last season before being sidelined with a slight leg injury. He was 100 percent for spring practice and with continued hard work and improvement should have an opportunity to be a significant contributor the next two seasons. He is on schedule to earn his degree in crime, law and justice in December. The former all-state selection at Pemberton HS is one of nine returning Nittany Lions from New Jersey. 2009 Junior Season Troutman moved into the first unit at left guard and started eight consecutive games before suffering a strained calf against Ohio State. He missed the Indiana game, but returned to help the Lions gain 512 yards en route to a 42-14 win at Michigan State. Troutman played on 619 snaps, led by 86 in the win over Minnesota and 75 in the 35-10 victory at Michigan. He was an instrumental member of an offense ranked No. 2 in the Big Ten at 406.9 ypg. Penn State was third in the Big Ten in fewest sacks allowed. Troutman and his linemates helped quarterback Daryll Clark rank No. 2 in the Big Ten in passing efficiency and deliver a school season-record 24 touchdown passes. The unit also was instrumental in Evan Royster becoming the seventh Nittany Lion all-time to gain 1,000 yards in multiple seasons. In the win at Illinois, Penn State rolled up 338 rushing yards, getting 100-yard games from Stephfon Green (120) and Royster (105) and 83 yards from Clark. In the 52-3 pounding of Eastern Illinois, Penn State displayed dominating balance, racking up 268 yards passing and 285 yards rushing en route to a season-best yardage total of 553. The Minnesota victory capped a three-week stretch in which Troutman and the offensive line did not allow a sack. In the 34-13 win at Northwestern, its fifth straight, the Penn State offense gained 301 yards in the second half and 437 for the game, averaging 7.5 yards per play. 2008 Sophomore Season Troutman saw action in six games as a reserve to All-America guard Rich Ohrnberger and emerged as a contributor on one of the nation’s top offensive lines. Troutman was on the field for 80 snaps, led by 19 against Coastal Carolina and 18 at Syracuse.

JOHN

URSCHEL

6-3 274 So./Fr. Eligible Guard Williamsville, N.Y.

With two starters having graduated, the offensive line battles from spring drills likely will roll into preseason camp as the coaching staff seeks to find the most effective quintet. After a strong spring practice, John Urschel is poised to be All-Big Ten guard Stefen Wisniewski’s primary backup at the right guard position. Urschel made considerable strides on the practice field and in the weight room during his redshirt season. With good size, skills and strength, the former all-state lineman from Canisius HS in suburban Buffalo has a good opportunity to emerge as a contributor on the offensive line this year. Urschel owned a perfect 4.00 grade-point average through the spring semester and is a potential ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America® candidate. The Dean’s List student is one of seven returning Nittany Lions from New York. 2009 Freshman Season

“Linebacker U.” has several jersey numbers that are etched into the heart, soul and minds of Nittany Nation. The 31 worn by Shane Conlan and Paul Posluszny quickly comes to mind, as does No. 11, worn by LaVar Arrington and Navorro Bowman. And Josh Hull firmly upheld the tradition of the No. 43 worn by Andre Collins and Brandon Short. But, what about No. 54? Standout linemen Bruce Clark and Marco Rivera give the number great lineage and last season linebacker Jamie Van Fleet made fans take notice of No. 54 again. The determined and hard-working Van Fleet caught the eye of Penn State and college football fans watching the ESPN telecast when he made three solo tackles on his nine special teams plays in the 34-13 win at Northwestern. A talented walk-on from Loyalsock HS, Van Fleet was a strong and steady contributor in the kicking game last season and he continues to demonstrate great effort and improvement in his bid to play a larger role for the defense and special teams. He is a potential Academic All-Big Ten candidate. 2009 Sophomore Season Van Fleet was a strong and steady contributor on special teams. He played in every game and had five tackles. Van Fleet saw action on 85 snaps during the 2009 campaign, led by 14 against Temple. He made three solo stops on nine special teams plays in the win at Northwestern and had solo tackles against Akron and Temple. 2008 Freshman Season Redshirt season. High School A two-year captain and all-state selection, Van Fleet played for Coach Richard Delaney at Loyalsock HS. He earned CSC Linebacker-of-the-Year, team MVP and ESPN 1050 Linebacker/Defensive Player-of-the-Year honors during his senior year. Van Fleet recorded 156 tackles and seven sacks his senior season, helping his team become the winningest squad in school history. Personal

BLUE-WHITE CROWD ONE OF ONLY FIVE TO HIT 55,000 FOR SPRING GAME Penn State’s loyal and enthusiastic fans annually are among the nation’s best in supporting the Nittany Lions during the season and once again the crowd at the Blue-White game has earned a similar ranking. The estimated crowd of 55,000 that converged on Beaver Stadium on April 24 for the Blue-White Game presented by AAA was among only five in the nation to reach 55,000. More than 40,000 fans have attended the Blue-White game in 12 of the past 15 years, with rainy conditions during the other three contests. This year’s game had cloudy and cool conditions. The record crowd of 76,500 in 2009 marked the third consecutive year the Blue-White attendance record fell, with an estimated 73,000 fans attending two years ago and 71,000 in 2007. Penn State was joined by Alabama (91,312), Nebraska (77,936), Ohio State (65,223) and Auburn (63,217) as the only other schools across the nation to draw at least 55,000 fans to their spring football game this year.

WAGNER

5-9 178 Sr./Sr. Eligible Kicker State College, Pa.

There will be numerous images and memories Nittany Nation will cherish when they relive Penn State’s thrilling 19-17 Capital One Bowl win over LSU. The rained-soaked, torn-up turf and Daryll Clark dropping to his knees as time expired may be the primary images. But, one of the memories and highlights of the game was the performance delivered by placekicker Collin Wagner, who overcame the difficult field conditions to boot the game-winning field goal with just :57 to play. The trey culminated a 4-for-4 effort for Wagner, as he delivered the top performance in his first season as the Nittany Lions’ kicker. The State College native was named to ESPN.com’s Big Ten All-Bowl team for his efforts against the Tigers, as he tied the school record for field goals in a bowl game. Wagner has joined a long line of placekickers from Central Pennsylvania that have made an impact for Penn State. Players such as Travis Forney, David Royer, David Kimball and 2006 Pro Bowl kicker Robbie Gould are among the local products that have made a contribution on special teams for the Nittany Lions during the past dozen years. Wagner was ranked No. 5 in the Big Ten in overall scoring in 2009 with a team-high 91 points. He connected on 15-of-22 field goal attempts, with a long of 47 yards in the 20-0 win over Minnesota. Wagner, who was an all-state choice at State College Area HS, has a strong and accurate leg. He earned significant experience last year and should continue to improve his skills and productivity for the 2010 campaign. Wagner is on schedule to earn his degree in accounting in December.

In his first season as the starting kicker, Wagner ranked No. 5 in the Big Ten in overall scoring with a team-high 91 points. He connected on 15-of-22 field goal attempts, with a long of 47 yards in the 20-0 win over Minnesota. He converted on all 46 of his PAT attempts, one of just three Big Ten kickers to connect on 100 percent of their point after tries. Wagner was 10-for-11 on field goal attempts between 20 and 29 yards and connected on four tries beyond 30 yards. He averaged 62 yards per kickoff, including 10 touchbacks. Wagner delivered the biggest game of his career in the 19-17 Capital One Bowl victory over No. 13 LSU. He connected on all four field goal attempts, including the 21-yard game-winner with 57 seconds remaining on a rain-soaked field. He was named to ESPN.com’s Big Ten All-Bowl team for his efforts against the Tigers, as he tied Travis Forney’s school record for field goals in a bowl game (four vs. Kentucky in the 1999 Outback Bowl). Wagner posted a four-game stretch spanning from Eastern Illinois to Northwestern where he made 7-of-8 field goal attempts, including a 2-for-2 performance in the victory at Michigan and 2-for-2 in the win at Northwestern, on a breezy day near Lake Michigan. 2008 Junior Season Opportunities were limited for Wagner, playing behind record-setting kicker Kevin Kelly. Wagner made the most of his chances when called upon, connecting on his only field goal attempt and all three of his PAT attempts. He was successful on his first career field goal attempt, from 43 yards, in the third quarter of the win at Syracuse. Wagner also made two PAT attempts against Coastal Carolina and made his only PAT attempt against the Orange. Also playing in the wins over Illinois and Wisconsin, Wagner averaged 67.7 yards on three kickoffs. 2007 Sophomore Season Wagner made his collegiate debut in the win over Florida International, successfully converting both of his PAT attempts. 2006 Freshman Season Redshirt season. High School At State College Area HS, Wagner played football and baseball. Playing for Coach Al Wolski, he earned Associated Press all-state honors and was the kicker and punter on the All-Mid-Penn Conference team. He also was named to the Harrisburg Patriot-News Platinum 33 and played in the 2006 Big 33 Classic. Wagner helped the Little Lions reach the state quarterfinals.

Competition for playing time in the secondary will be fierce as the Nittany Lions will field a young, talented corps of athletes in the defensive backfield. After redshirting in 2009, Malcolm Willis will put his name on the list of candidates vying to see action in the secondary. Willis brings good size and instincts to the field. After a solid spring practice, Willis is looking to battle for playing time at safety and on special teams this fall. He is one of 10 returning Nittany Lions from Maryland. 2009 Freshman Season Redshirt season.

SEVERAL ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICA CANDIDATES The Penn State football team has had a least one ESPN The Magazine Academic AllAmerican® in each of the past eight seasons, including a school-record five in 2008 and three more in 2009. Senior center Stefen Wisniewski was a first-team Academic All-American® last year and earned second-team accolades in 2008. An honors student, Wisniewski owned a 3.90 cumulative grade-point average entering the spring semester and has an opportunity to become Penn State’s first three-time Academic All-American®. Other Nittany Lion Academic All-American® candidates should include: senior linebacker Chris Colasanti, junior defensive end Kevion Latham, sophomore guard Matt Stankiewitch and junior linebacker Nate Stupar. Nominees for ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America® consideration must have at least a 3.30 cumulative grade-point average and be a starter or key reserve.

ALL-AMERICAN WISNIEWSKI TO LEAD OFFENSIVE LINE Senior guard Stefen Wisniewski returns to anchor the Nittany Lions’ offensive line, a unit which made significant progress as the 2009 season unfolded. Penn State was third in the Big Ten in fewest sacks allowed and ranked No. 2 in total offense last season. Five players with starting experience return. A two-year starter, Wisniewski was a third-team All-American and first-team All-Big Ten selection last year and again should be among the top linemen in the nation. He returned to guard in the spring after starting all 13 games at center in 2009. Senior Lou Eliades started all 13 games at right guard and junior DeOn’tae Pannell started the first four games at right tackle and the last three at left guard. Junior Johnnie Troutman started eight consecutive games at left guard before being slowed by an injury and should be a significant contributor this year. Sophomore Matt Stankiewitch also started two games at guard and could emerge as a big contributor, as could Quinn Barham at tackle.

PRODUCTIVE WIDE RECEIVERS RETURN One of the biggest questions entering the 2009 season was quickly answered, as an inexperienced wide receiver corps made plays in the opener against Akron and throughout the season. Junior Derek Moye (48-785-6), senior Graham Zug (46-600-7) and junior Chaz Powell (28-366-3) all started nine or more games and played a significant role in Daryll Clark becoming the first Nittany Lion to throw for 3,000 yards in a season. Moye cracked the 100-yard mark three times, led by career-highs with six catches for 138 yards against Akron in his first career start. Zug led the team with seven touchdown receptions, including three in the 35-10 win at Michigan and made seven catches against Ohio State. Powell delivered a 79-yard lightning bolt on Penn State’s first play from scrimmage against Iowa, the Nittany Lions’ longest play from scrimmage last year. Powell was shifted to cornerback during spring practice. Senior Brett Brackett (3-13-1) and sophomores Curtis Drake (8-98-0), Justin Brown (578-0) and Devon Smith (4-30-0) bring additional athleticism and play-making skills to the talented and deep unit. Junior Andrew Szczerba (1-6-0) is the Nittany Lions’ most experienced returning tight end after the graduation of Andrew Quarless and Mickey Shuler. Redshirt freshman Garry Gilliam was moved from defensive end in the spring and should have an opportunity to see considerable time at tight end this year.

THE GREATEST SHOW IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL subject of a feature story in the December 2009 issue of Sports Illustrated Kids, as the writer spent part of a typical day that semester with the standout student-athlete. A U.S. Army All-American at Central Catholic HS in Pittsburgh, Wisniewski was on the field for 905 snaps last year, second-highest among all returnees. Wisniewski is another Nittany Lion with strong family ties to the program. His father, Leo, was a standout for the Lions, lettering from 1979-81, and playing four years with the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts. An uncle, Steve Wisniewski, was a two-time first-team All-America guard during his outstanding Penn State career (1985-88) and was selected All-Pro eight times during his 13-year career with the Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders. One of 11 returning Nittany Lions from Western Pennsylvania, Wisniewski is on schedule to earn his degree in secondary education in December. 2009 Junior Season

It would be nearly impossible to try and top the Penn State student-athlete experience Stefen Wisniewski has assembled over the past three years. He has maximized his opportunities on the field, in the classroom and in serving others. The first Nittany Lion true freshman offensive lineman to start a game since center Joe Iorio in 1999, Wisniewski is a physical, productive and instinctive offensive lineman, who is gaining consideration as among the nation’s best in the trenches. A starter in 12 games at guard in 2008, he returned to right guard this spring after earning first-team All-Big Ten honors at center last year. Like his transition into collegiate academics and athletics, Wisniewski has quickly adapted to the moves. A starter in 25 of the last 26 games, the highly-skilled, intelligent and physical student-athlete is poised to lead an O-Line unit that will have two new starters and returnees in new positions. Selected a 2010 first-team preseason All-American by Athlon, Lindy’s, Sporting News and Phil Steele’s College Football Previews, Wisniewski was a 2009 third-team AllAmerica honoree by Collegefootballnews.com. Named to the preliminary Watch List for the 41st Rotary Lombardi Award, the talented and tenacious player has worked hard to improve his skills and strength throughout his career. He consistently grades out above 90 percent. The highly-motivated Wisniewski is among Penn State’s most accomplished and community service-oriented student-athletes. He has made mission trips to the Dominican Republic during spring break this past March and in the summer of 2009. A secondary education major in the Schreyer Honors College, Wisniewski spent 2009-10 student teaching 10th-grade English at State College Area HS. Every weekday last fall and during spring practice, he was at school early in the morning and didn’t leave until 30 minutes before position meetings began in the Lasch Football Building. Wisniewski was selected a 2009 first-team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American® as he added to his 2008 second-team honor. Owner of a superlative 3.92 grade-point average, the squad’s highest mark, through the spring semester, Wisniewski will have an opportunity in 2010 to become Penn State’s first three-time Academic All-American®. He should be a strong candidate for the Campbell Trophy, the academic Heisman, presented by the National Football Foundation. Penn State’s nominee for the 2010 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, he has compiled a perfect 4.0 GPA the last three semesters. Wisniewski has participated in the Student-Athlete Advisory Board’s Autism Awareness reading program, THON Make-A-Wish program, Pennsylvania Special Olympics State Summer Games, Habitat for Humanity, Athletic Directors Leadership Institute, Athletes In Action, The Second Mile and tutored local high school students among his vast array of community service activities.

2010 PENN STATE FOOTBALL

Wisniewski was shifted from guard to center prior to spring practice and emerged as one of the nation’s top offensive linemen. Starting every game, he was selected first-team All-Big Ten by the coaches and media and was named a third-team All-American by Collegefootballnews.com. Wisniewski and senior tackle Dennis Landolt anchored a line that had four different starting lineups in the first six games, but meshed well in the second half of the season. Wisniewski also was selected a first-team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American®, joining teammates Josh Hull and Andrew Pitz on the first-team. Wisniewski added to his 2008 second-team honor. He saw action on 905 snaps, the third-highest total on the team, led by 86 in each of the wins over Minnesota and LSU. Wisniewski and the O-Line played a huge role in Penn State ranking No. 2 in the Big Ten in total offense at 406.9 ypg. The Nittany Lions were the only Big Ten team ranked in the top five of the conference’s four primary offensive statistical categories in 2009: total (406.9 ypg), scoring (28.8 ppg), rushing (169.8 ypg) and passing offense (237.2 ypg). Behind the protection of Wisniewski and his linemates, Daryll Clark finished No. 2 in the Big Ten in passing efficiency, threw a school seasonrecord 24 touchdown passes and broke the season total offense mark. Penn State was third in the Big Ten in fewest sacks allowed and eclipsed 500 yards of total offense on four occasions, including 512 in the regular-season finale at Michigan State. 2008 Sophomore Season Wisniewski started 12 games at guard, playing an instrumental role in Penn State ranking in the Top 20 nationally in rushing (17th, 205.8 ypg), total offense (14th, 448.9 ypg) and scoring offense (11th, 38.9 ppg) in 2008. Eleven of his starts were at right guard. The Nittany Lions led the Big Ten in total and scoring offense, were second in rushing and third in passing offense (243.1 ypg). Wisniewski earned second-team All-Big Ten honors in helping pave the way for Evan Royster to become Penn State’s fourth consecutive 1,000-yard rusher (three different players). He also was key in helping Penn State lead the Big Ten and rank No. 4 in the nation in fewest sacks allowed last season with 13. Wisniewski helped the Lions gain more than 400 yards 10 times, including 410 against Southern California, the nation’s No. 1-ranked defense, in the 2009 Rose Bowl, with four games above 500 yards. Penn State posted seven games with more than 200 rushing yards, led by 334 against Coastal Carolina. The Nittany Lions ran behind the line to tally seven rushing touchdowns in

Penn State’s surplus of talent at linebacker afforded the opportunity for Michael Zordich to make a mid-season switch to running back last year. When Stephfon Green suffered a sprained ankle in the shutout of Minnesota, the coaching staff moved the former Cardinal Mooney HS standout running back/linebacker to offense. The 2007 Division IV Defensive Player-of-the-Year in Ohio, Zordich quickly transitioned and provides good depth as the top fullback behind Joe Suhey. The sure-handed, strong and talented Zordich has a bright future regardless of which side of the ball he plays on in 2010. He and running back Brandon Beachum led Cardinal Mooney to three consecutive Ohio Class IV state title games. Zordich’s father, Michael, was a standout strong safety for the Nittany Lions from 1982-85, earning first-team All-America honors as a senior. The younger Zordich is among six returning Nittany Lions from Ohio. 2009 Sophomore Season Zordich was among the handful of players that compiled statistics on offense, defense and special teams during the course of the season. In the 42-14 win at Michigan State, he gained 13 yards on two carries. He also had three tackles, with two stops against Eastern Illinois and the other in the win over Temple. He also returned two kickoffs, one for 16 yards against Temple and another for 12 yards in the victory at Northwestern. Playing in the final 12 games last season, he was on the field for 55 snaps. 2008 Freshman Season Redshirt season.

And the beat goes on. In each of the past two years, a prominent Western Pennsylvania standout has departed from “Linebacker U.,” but another has been honing his skills to begin making an impact on the field for the Nittany Lions. Washington’s Michael Yancich has been working hard to emerge as a larger contributor this season after watching and learning from Pittsburgh’s Sean Lee and Butler’s Tyrell Sales the past two years. The Big Ten era, in particular, has seen a wealth of talent from metropolitan Pittsburgh matriculate to play linebacker at Penn State, including first-team AllAmericans LaVar Arrington (Pittsburgh), Paul Posluszny (Aliquippa) and Brandon Short (McKeesport), as well as Sales and Lee, who was selected in the second round of the 2010 NFL Draft. The talented and athletic Yancich played in 10 games last year and made very good progress during spring practice. He finished spring No. 2 on the depth chart at inside linebacker to senior Chris Colasanti. A tough and instinctive player with a bright future, Yancich was an All-America and allstate standout at Trinity HS. He has made very good progress and with continued improvement should earn time in the linebacker rotation this fall. He is among 11 returnees from Western Pennsylvania. 2009 Sophomore Season Yancich played in 10 games, gaining experience and providing depth for the talented linebacker unit that featured a trio of All-Big Ten players. He also saw duty on special teams. Yancich earned his most playing time in the wins over Akron, Eastern Illinois and Michigan. 2008 Freshman Season Redshirt season. In the 2009 Blue-White game, Yancich led the Blue team with four solo tack-

High School Zordich was a standout linebacker and running back for Coach P.J Fecko at Cardinal Mooney HS. He teamed with Nittany Lion teammate Brandon Beachum to lead Cardinal Mooney to the 2006 Ohio Class IV state championship and the 2005 and ‘07 state title games, winning 28 consecutive games during their last two seasons. Zordich was selected the 2007 Division IV Defensive Playerof-the-Year in Ohio and Scout.com rated him the nation’s No. 5 middle linebacker. A team captain, Zordich was named to the Offense-Defense All-America team and was the Defensive MVP of the Offense-Defense All-American Bowl game. He was selected to play in the 2008 Big 33 Classic. As a senior, he grabbed three interceptions and rushed for a total of 796 yards with nine touchdowns. As a junior, he gained close to 1,000 rushing yards and scored 16 touchdowns. Zordich also played basketball. Personal Full name is Michael Vincent Zordich. He is the son of Michael and Cynthia Zordich, both Penn State graduates, and has a younger brother, Alex, and a younger sister, Aidan. His father is in his second season as a coach with the Philadelphia Eagles. The elder Zordich was an outstanding strong safety for Penn State from 1982-85, earning first-team All-America honors from the Football Writers Association of America as a senior. A 1985 tri-captain, he played 12 years in the National Football League with the New York Jets, Phoenix and Philadelphia. Cynthia was a cheerleader at Penn State.

GRAHAM

ZUG

6-2 183 Sr./Sr. Eligible Wide Receiver Manheim, Pa.

Graham Zug was awarded a scholarship prior to the 2008 campaign and was one of the Nittany Lions’ best stories during their Big Ten Championship run, making two touchdown catches and a huge reception in the victory at Ohio State. But, 2009 was a breakout campaign for Zug, who has emerged as a reliable and highly-effective receiver and blocker. An athlete with very good skills, speed and instincts, the sure-handed fifth-year senior is a probable All-Big Ten candidate. The quiet, humble and highly-productive Zug has demonstrated the ability to get open in all kinds of situations and make big catches. A starter in nine games last year, Zug led the Nittany Lions with seven touchdown receptions, topped by a career-high three in a memorable 35-10 win at Michigan. He was second on the squad with 46 receptions for 600 yards (13.0), making a catch in 12 of 13 games. His 46 catches were tied with O.J. McDuffie (1991) for No. 14 on the Penn State season receptions list. Zug rewrote his career-high for receiving yardage in a game on four occasions and broke his career-high for receptions in a game three times in 2009. He uses his speed, size and determination to separate himself from defenders and make tough catches. The former Manheim Central HS all-stater joins Brett Brackett as the only seniors among Penn State’s vastly talented and productive wideout corps. Zug’s sister, Daneen, will be a senior midfielder on the Nittany Lions’ field hockey team this fall. An older brother, David, was a member of the Blue Band and also is a Penn State graduate. Winner of the team’s 2009 Red Worrell Award, Zug is on schedule to earn his degree in December. 2009 Senior Season

Zug was a standout at Manheim Central HS for Coach Mike Williams. He was named Associated Press first-team Class AAA all-state and edged out future Nittany Lion teammate Jared Odrick as Lancaster-Lebanon League Player-of-the-Year. During an outstanding senior season, Zug caught 78 passes for 1,282 yards and 20 touchdowns and contributed 38 tackles and nine interceptions. His game-high was an eight-catch, 138-yard performance against rival Lebanon. Zug caught 51 passes for 799 yards and 13 scores and tallied 78 tackles and six interceptions as a junior. He also compiled a 3.6 grade-point average. Personal Full name is Graham Alan Zug. His father, David, and grandfather are Penn State graduates and his sister, Daneen, is a standout on the Nittany Lion field hockey team, entering her senior season. She was selected second-team All-Big Ten in 2008. An older brother, David, was a member of the Blue Band and also is a Penn State graduate. Graham is majoring in kinesiology. Born April 12, 1987.

Zug’s 2009 Game-by-Game Receiving (Catches-Yards-TD)

Playing in every game, with nine starts, Zug led the Lions with seven touchdown catches, topped by a career-high three in a memorable 35-10 win at Michigan. Zug finished second on the squad with 46 receptions for 600 yards (13.0), making a catch in 12 of 13 games. His 46 catches were tied with O.J. McDuffie (1991) for No. 14 on the Penn State season receptions list. Zug rewrote his career-high for receiving yardage in a game on four occasions. He broke his career-high for receptions in a game three times during the season, starting with the opener against Akron, when he made five receptions for 62 yards. He had a 19-yard touchdown reception against the Zips for a 31-0 lead. The next week against Syracuse, he rewrote his career-highs for receptions (6) and tallied 79 yards, including a 20-yard touchdown catch. Zug made one catch against Temple, leaving the game early with a slight injury. He returned the following week in the Iowa game, but was held without a catch for the only time all season. Zug made five receptions for 52 yards in the 20-0 win over Minnesota, including a 20-yard grab near the sideline to set up a second-half touchdown. He had a career day in the win at Michigan, catching five passes for 59 yards and a career-high three touchdowns from Daryll Clark (10, 11, 17 yards). Zug was the first Penn State player to catch three touchdowns in a game since Deon Butler did so against Michigan State in 2008. Zug made a careerbest seven receptions for a career-high 96 receiving yards against Ohio State. His 31-yard catch in the first quarter against the Buckeyes was a season-long. Zug was highly productive in the Lions’ 42-14 regular-season finale win at Michigan State. He hauled in four receptions for a game and career-high 99 yards, including touchdown catches of 32 and 27 yards from Clark during Penn State’s 28-point third-quarter outburst. In the Capital One Bowl win over LSU, Zug made four receptions for 51 yards, including a huge 17-yard catch to the LSU 20 during the Lions’ game-winning drive. He made two catches during the critical drive and had a 21-yard grab earlier in the big win over the Tigers. Zug was on the field for 589 snaps in 2009, led by 58 and 57, respectively, in the wins over Minnesota and Michigan.

2008 Junior Season One of the best stories of the Big Ten Championship season was Zug’s emergence as a productive and valuable member of the senior-laden wide receiver unit. Zug played in every game, making starts against Ohio State, Indiana and Southern California in the 2009 Rose Bowl. He was tied for seventh on the team in receptions, hauling in 11 passes for 174 yards and a strong 15.8 average. Zug also had two touchdown catches, fourth-best on the squad. Against Temple, he made his first career touchdown catch on a 17-yard strike from Daryll Clark. He made two catches for 39 yards at Purdue, including a 23-yard reception. In his first start, Zug made a career-long 49-yard catch at Ohio State. The second-quarter reception set up a Kevin Kelly field goal in the Lions’ critical 13-6 win in Columbus. Zug demonstrated his athleticism and instincts in the win over Michigan State, keeping his feet just inside the end zone and catching a five-yard bullet from Clark to give the Lions a 7-0 lead in the first period. He later added a 28-yard catch and run to the Spartan one-yard line to set up a Clark touchdown run in the second quarter. Zug caught a game-high four passes for 62 yards, including a 19-yard touchdown from Matt McGloin, in the 2009 Blue-White game. 2007 Sophomore Season Zug made his collegiate debut in the season-opener against Florida International and grabbed his first reception, gaining eight yards in the win. He played in eight games and on 42 snaps, seeing his most significant playing time against Florida International. In the 2008 Blue-White game, Zug made four catches for 47 yards, including a 22-yard scoring strike from Pat Devlin for the victorious Blue squad. 2006 Freshman Season Redshirt season.

A team possessing outstanding work-ethic, commitment and senior leadership produced the Nittany Lions’ fourth bowl victory in the past five seasons with a hard-fought, thrilling last-minute victory over LSU in the Capital One Bowl. The 2009 Nittany Lions compiled consecutive 11win seasons for the first time since 1985 and ’86, when Penn State played in consecutive National Championship games.

For 60 years and 709 games, Paterno has passionately served the Penn State football program and the university with principle and success with honor since matriculating to State College in 1950. After 16 years as an assistant coach, he was rewarded in 1966 with the head coaching responsibilities surrendered by the retiring Rip Engle, his college coach at Brown who appointed him to the Penn State staff in 1950 as a brash 23year-old. In his 45th season as head coach, Paterno stands on the doorstep of another significant milestone, needing six wins to become just the third coach in college football history with 400 victories, joining John Gagliardi and Eddie Robinson. Entering his 61st season as a member of the Penn State coaching staff, Paterno is not fond of looking back, but it has been a memorable period for the legendary mentor.

The Nittany Lions are 17-7 in New Year’s games under Paterno and 12-5 in contests that comprise the Bowl Championship Series. Penn State is one of just seven teams with 800 wins all-time and Paterno has been a member of the Nittany Lion staff for 498 of them — 61 percent of the 811 alltime total. Penn State owns a record of 498-177-7 (73.5) since Paterno joined the staff in 1950, the nation’s third-highest winning percentage. He has missed just three games of a possible 682 Penn State contests over 60 seasons. Paterno’s longevity in a profession where change is a constant borders on the unbelievable. Consider that since Paterno succeeded Engle as head coach in 1966 there have been 860 head coaching changes at Division I schools, an average of six changes per school! Winner of the AFCA National Coach-of-the-Year an unprecedented five times, Paterno’s legacy will be recognized long after he leaves the game. This past March, the Maxwell Football Club announced it was renaming its top college coaching honor the Joseph V.

Since Paterno began leading the program in 1966, Penn State has had 77 first-team All-Americans, with Big Ten Defensive Player-of-the-Year Jared Odrick earning the distinction in 2009. Linebacker Navorro Bowman, tackle Dennis Landolt and center Stefen Wisniewski also received All-America recognition and were joined by Odrick, quarterback Daryll Clark and tailback Evan Royster as 2009 first-team All-Big Ten honorees. Clark was selected co-winner of the 2009 Chicago Tribune-Big Ten Silver Football after breaking several school season and career passing and total offense records. The 2009 Nittany Lions were led by a senior class that compiled a superb 40-12 ledger over the past four years. Penn State was 11-2, recording at least 11 victories for the 15th time under Paterno, and finishing No. 8 in the USA Today Coaches poll and No. 9 in the Associated Press poll. Seniors Josh Hull and Andrew Pitz became the seventh and eighth Nittany Lions to twice be selected a firstteam Academic All-American® with their 2008 and ’09 recognitions. They were joined by junior Stefen Wisniewski on the first-team, giving Penn State 10 firstteam Academic All-America® selections in the past four years. Paterno’s coaching portfolio includes two National Championships (1982, 1986); five undefeated, untied teams; 23 finishes in the Top 10 of the national rankings; an unprecedented five AFCA Coach-of-the-Year plaques, and more than 350 former players who have signed National Football League contracts, 33 of them first-round draft choices.

Hall of Fame. The five-time National Coach-of-the-Year was selected for induction in 2006, and was set to join two more legendary coaches — Bobby Bowden and Gagliardi — as the first active coaches or players to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Coach Paterno’s induction, though, was deferred until 2007, as the injuries he sustained during a sideline collision in a November game at Wisconsin prevented him from traveling to the 2006 event. “I have mixed feelings because there were so many people that are not with me any more who made it possible for me,” stated Paterno during the December 4, 2007 induction ceremony. “How good has it been? What we share in football; there’s never been a greater game. We’ve been involved in the greatest game, the greatest experience anybody could hope for. Great teammates. Guys you could trust. Guys you loved. Guys you would go to war with tomorrow. We’re so lucky…we’re so lucky. If we lose what we have in football, we’ll lose an awful lot in this country and we’ve got to remember that.” Penn State’s field general since 1966, Paterno moved past another football legend, Amos Alonzo Stagg, for longevity at a single institution among major college coaches in 2007. Stagg was a head coach for 57 years, including 41 at the University of Chicago (18921932). Paterno has faced every situation imaginable on the gridiron and has used his preparation, experience and understanding of the game he loves to respond and keep the Penn State program among the nation’s elite for the past four decades. He is older now, and wiser, but no less enthusiastic and no less dynamic. He is, simply put, the most successful coach in the history of college football — a fact that was validated during the 2001 season when he moved past Paul “Bear” Bryant to become the leader in career wins by a major college coach. He also is one of the most admired figures in college athletics, an acknowledged icon whose influence extends well beyond the white chalk lines of the football field. A member of the Nittany Lions’ coaching staff spanning the administrations of 12 U.S. presidents (starting with Harry Truman), Paterno passed Bryant on October 27, 2001 when the Lions secured his 324th victory by rallying from a 27-9 deficit to defeat Ohio State, 29-27, in the greatest Beaver Stadium comeback under the legendary coach. “Even though he is enormously successful at it, from the perspective of meaningful contributions to society, the least important thing Joe Paterno does is coach football,” former Philadelphia Inquirer sports columnist Bill Lyon told his readers. Paterno has posted a 394-129-3 mark in 44 seasons as head coach and is the leader in career wins among major college coaches (third all-time). He passed his long-time friend and colleague, Bobby Bowden, on Sept. 20, 2008. Paterno’s winning percentage of 75.1 is second-best among active Football Bowl Subdivision coaches (10 or more years) and he is sec-

His teams have registered seven undefeated regular-seasons and he has had 35 teams finish in the Top 25. Penn State has won the Lambert Meadowlands Trophy, emblematic of Eastern football supremacy, 24 times in Paterno’s coaching run, including in 2008 and ‘09.

Paterno was selected the 2008 Big Ten Dave McClain Coach-of-the-Year, winning the honor for the third time, second only to Bo Schembechler’s four selections in the award’s history. He also was a finalist for three national Coach-of-the-Year honors: the Eddie Robinson Award (FWAA), Liberty Mutual and George Munger (Maxwell Football Club). The Nittany Lions’ Big Ten-clinching victory over Michigan State on Nov. 22, 2008 was Penn State’s 800th all-time, becoming just the sixth program in the nation to reach the milestone. The 2008 Nittany Lions were led by a senior class that compiled a stellar 40-11 ledger over four years. Penn State was 11-2, finishing No. 8 in the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches polls. A school-record 10 Nittany Lions were selected first-team All-Big Ten in 2008, more than double the second-highest total, and a record 14 players earned first or second-team all-conference accolades. Four Nittany Lions received All-America honors and A.Q. Shipley became Penn State’s first recipient of the Rimington Trophy, presented to the nation’s outstanding center. It was a record-breaking year for academic accomplishments as well. A program-record five players were selected to the 2008 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America® team, with four on the first team. Penn State’s four first-team selections and five overall selections led the nation, becoming the first school to have five Academic All-America® football players since Nebraska in 1997. A program-record 55 football student-athletes compiled at least a 3.0 grade-point average during the 2008 fall semester. A record 19 Nittany Lions earned Dean’s List recognition by posting a 3.5 GPA or higher. The 2007 edition of the Nittany Lions featured the program’s third consecutive winner of the Chuck Bednarik Award. The Nittany Lions’ comeback victory over Texas A&M in the Valero Alamo Bowl was Paterno’s 500th game as head coach, as he added to his all-time record with bowl victory No. 23. It came as no surprise that less than two weeks after undergoing surgery on his left leg in November 2006, Paterno was back in Beaver Stadium, observing his team from the coaches’ booth for the regular-season finale against Michigan State. Winner of the 2005 Butkus and 2005 and ‘06 Bednarik awards, All-America linebacker Paul Posluszny was selected the 2006 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American®-of-the-Year in Division I football, earning first-team honors twice. The 2005 Nittany Lions are a squad Paterno will remember fondly. The players and coaches passionately toiled every day to return Penn State to the national championship picture. The Lions compiled an 11-1 record, captured the Big Ten Championship and a tripleovertime win over Bowden’s Florida State squad in the 2006 FedEx Orange Bowl.

sarily be the one with the most wins, most All-Americas, or the most post-season awards, Paterno has said. Rather, it will be the team that has yielded the most productive members of society. Giving back is a theme Paterno not only preaches but also practices. He and his wife, Sue, and their five children gave the University $3.5 million in 1998 to endow faculty positions and scholarships, and to support two building projects. The Paternos have contributed more than $4 million to Penn State in his tenure. In 2009, the Paternos pledged $1 million to the construction of a 42,000-square foot wing for the Mount Nittany Medical Center in State College, the primary healthcare facility in a growing Centre County. “This gift demonstrates our continued pride in this community and gratitude for the profound expertise and care of our physicians, Jon Dranov and Wayne Sebastianelli,” said Paterno. “We see great things for this community and its future growth, and we are excited to be part of assuring continued excellence in our local healthcare, now and for generations to come.” Joe and Sue have been actively involved with the Special Olympics Pennsylvania Summer Games, held each June on the University Park campus. The Paternos were inducted into the Special Olympics Pennsylvania Hall of Fame in 2008. In 2009, Joe and Sue were honored by the CharcotMarie-Tooth Associated for a lifetime of achievement. Coach Paterno is a national spokesperson for CMTA. Paterno received the 1999 National Heritage Award of the Anti-Defamation League at a gala in Philadelphia. “Coach Paterno is an outstanding role model, mentor and leader, humanitarian and philanthropist,” ADL Regional Director Barry Morrison said. “He has helped build champions both on and off the field through his ongoing commitment to the values that ADL stands for — equality, dignity, educational achievement, tolerance and diversity.”

“He’s tough as hell,” former All-America linebacker and ex-NFL standout Shane Conlan said in an interview, “but he does things the way they’re supposed to be done. He follows the rules. He believes you’re there for an education. He teaches you more than football. He teaches you about life.” “The greatest testimonial to the Penn State football program is its list of graduates,” former All-America center Bill Lenkaitis, now a dentist in Foxboro, Mass., said. “Look at where these guys are now and what they’re doing. Look how many go to medical school or law school. Look how many become heads of corporations. That’s the real test of a college football program.” Lenkaitis’ observations mirror his coach’s response when asked to name his greatest team. It won’t neces-

PATERNO YEARS

The 11-win season represented another milestone, as Penn State recorded at least 10 victories under Paterno in a fifth decade. The Lions were No. 3 in the polls, earning their 13th Top 5 finish. For his leadership in restoring the Nittany Lions to the nation’s elite, Paterno was recognized with numerous National Coach-of-the-Year honors in 2005, capped by an unprecedented fifth selection by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). He also received national honors from the Associated Press, Bobby Dodd, Home Depot/ESPN, Maxwell Football Club (George Munger), Pigskin Club of Washington, D.C., The Sporting News and the Walter Camp Football Foundation. Milestones, Paterno has said, are not things that motivate him. One day he may look back on the rich canvas he has created but it won’t be anytime soon because retirement is about the last thing on this 83year-old’s mind. In December 2008, Paterno agreed to a contract extension through the 2011 season. Before Paterno removes those white athletic socks and trademark black Nikes for the final time, there’s not much doubt he will have established THE benchmark for college football coaches. Three of his squads finished a perfect 12-0 — in 1973, 1986 and 1994 — and his 1968 and 1969 squads were 11-0. His 1978 and ‘85 teams were unbeaten in the regular-season, losing in bowl games for the National Championship. Paterno has remained true to the ideal that a university is an educational institution first and foremost, graduating his student-athletes and constantly striving to instill values of citizenship and sportsmanship. “He’s putting together this winning program, but meanwhile he’s teaching 17-, 18-, 19-year-olds how not to screw their lives up, how important education is, how important it is to have social acumen,” All-America linebacker Greg Buttle told the San Antonio Express-News in 2007. “Forget what he’s done for players. He’s done more for a single university than anyone else. It transcends his coaching. No. 1 to him is what he’s done for Penn State University, No. 2 is what he has done for players.” Since beginning play in the Big Ten in 1993, Penn State’s 241 academic all-conference honorees are the most for any league school. In December 2007, Patrick and Candace Malloy honored Paterno’s contributions to the University by committing $5 million to create the Malloy Paterno Head Football Coach Endowment at Penn State. “All of Penn State has benefited from Joe’s commitment to success with honor,” said Patrick Malloy, a 1965 alumnus of the University. “He is so much more than a coach; he’s an educator. He teaches his players how to win in life as well as in football, and he teaches every Penn State fan how to make the world a better place through integrity, honesty, and excellence. We are also fortunate enough to know Sue Paterno, and we have the deepest admiration for her volunteer and philanthropic leadership at Penn State and beyond.”

Paterno needed fewer games (246) to reach the 200-win plateau than any of the 10 major college coaches on the list. He also was the quickest to achieve 300 victories. It took Bear Bryant, the previous leader, 393 games to reach that level; Paterno attained that peak in 380 games. One of the astonishing statistics about his tenure is that he has been on the coaching staff for more than half of the football games played by the Nittany Lions since the program bowed in 1887.

“Angelo Paterno (Joe’s father) died in 1955, when his son was an assistant coach, 11 years away from becoming the head coach. But his son became an idealist and jousts still with windmills, and it is difficult to believe if he had become a barrister, while he would have been a good one, that Joe Paterno would have affected as many lives, wrought more good, than he has as a coach,” Bill Lyon wrote on the occasion of the ADL award. Paterno, whose tenure at Penn State — 16 years as an assistant and 44 as head coach — spans the administrations of 12 U.S. Presidents, owns one of sport’s most substantial resumes. In his five-decade-plus career, he has: Led teams to 24 bowl victories, more than anyone in his profession; Become the only coach to win the four traditional New Year’s Day games — the Rose, Sugar, Cotton and Orange bowls — as well as the Fiesta Bowl; Captured National Championships in 1982 and 1986 and had teams finish undefeated, but uncrowned, in 1968, 1969, 1973 and 1994; Posted 11 or more victories in 15 seasons; Seen at least one player win a first-team AllAmerica berth in 37 of his 44 years; Won Coach-of-the-Year honors an unprecedented five times in balloting by the American Football Coaches Association (1968, ‘78, ‘82, ‘86 and ‘05); Been selected by the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame as the

More than 350 of his players have signed with National Football League teams and 32 have been firstround draft choices. Defensive end Courtney Brown and linebacker LaVar Arrington were the top two selections in the 2000 NFL Draft, only the third time in the history of the modern draft that the first two players chosen have been college teammates. In a survey of pro football general managers and personnel directors by The Sporting News, Penn State was a clear-cut winner as the college program that best prepares players for the NFL. “That program is well-rounded from the standpoint that Joe Paterno demands discipline for his players, both academically and on the field,” said Rod Graves, General Manager of the Arizona Cardinals. “Standards of character are very high there. The kids practice extremely hard. I don’t care whether you are bringing in a free agent or a first-round draft choice, those kids know how to work. Nine times out of 10, you’ll never have any problem with those kids off the field.” Significant as it is, Paterno’s football portfolio offers but a glimpse of his multi-faceted personality. He has taken on duties away from the field with the same sense of purpose and ambition. The Paternos have won wide admiration for their philanthropy. Their $3.5 million gift, in conjunction with

1 THE

PATERNO YEARS

The January 1, 1997 Fiesta Bowl was the University’s 1,044th game and Paterno’s 522nd since arriving on campus. Prior to the 2006 Temple game, six days after his leg surgery, he had been absent only twice for an opening kickoff — at Army in 1955 due to the death of his father and at Syracuse in 1977 when his son, David, was seriously injured in an accident. Penn State’s 2010 season-opener with Youngstown State will be the 684th game of Paterno’s career. Paterno admitted to being especially energized when the Nittany Lions, after more than 100 years as an independent, signed on as members of the Big Ten Conference in 1993. It didn’t take long for Penn State to flex its muscle in the new neighborhood. In just its second year of conference affiliation, Paterno guided Penn State to a 12-0 record, including a victory in the 1995 Rose Bowl. The Lions became the first Big Ten team to record an undefeated season in 26 years and first ever to post a 12-0 record. The Lions were ranked No. 2 behind Nebraska in the final polls, marking the third time an unbeaten Paterno-led squad finished second in the nation. The Nittany Lions are 136-60 overall since starting competition in the Big Ten in 1993. Paterno is one of just eight coaches in Conference history to win at least 130 games at one institution. Defining Joe Paterno by wins and losses, however, is to trivialize his contributions to intercollegiate athletics. This native of Brooklyn, N.Y., is not a man of misplaced priorities. “How many football coaches majored in English Literature at an Ivy League school,” retired Penn State athletic director Jim Tarman, a Paterno friend since 1950, asked? “When he sits up half the night, as he did for years, doing ‘x’s’ and ‘o’s’ for the next day’s practice or next Saturday’s game, he always listened to opera. I think the fact that he has such a broad range of interests is one of the reasons our football program has been different.” Obviously not a person of misplaced priorities, Paterno always has concentrated on seeing that his student-athletes attend class, devote the proper time to studies and graduate with a meaningful degree. He often has said he measures team success not by athletic prowess but by the number of productive citizens who make a contribution to society. “The players who have been most important to the success of Penn State teams,” Paterno has said, “have just naturally kept their priorities straight: football a high second, but academics an undisputed first.” The 2008 NCAA Graduation Success Rate Report for Division I institutions provided the most recent compelling evidence of the success of Paterno’s “Grand Experiment.” The report revealed that the Penn State football program’s 76 percent GSR was No. 2 in the nation among teams ranked in the final 2008 Associated Press Top 25 and well above the national average of 67 percent. The NCAA data also showed that Penn State posted a 77 percent federal graduation rate among freshmen entering in 2001-02, second-highest among

Paterno was a major contributor of both money and time to the $352 million Campaign for Penn State, for which he served as Vice Chair. He also was an honorary chair for the University’s Grand Destiny campaign that netted more than $1.37 billion by its June 2003 conclusion. Joe and Sue Paterno established the Paterno Libraries Endowment in 1984 with gifts totaling $120,000. Subsequent contributions have pushed the Endowment’s total to $4 million. “I’ve said it a hundred times,” Paterno stated at the time the drive began, “a great library is the heart of a great university, and if we want to remain a big-league university, we’ve got to have a big-league library.” “Sue and Joe Paterno are legendary at this institution, not only because of the notable and consistent success of the Nittany Lions, but also because of the values they have espoused over the years,” former president Joab Thomas said at the time the Board of Trustees’ decision was announced to name the new library wing after the first family of Penn State football. “Family, learning, loyalty and commitment are prominent among those values. This new library will stand as an appropriate tribute to all that they have done for Penn State.” Paterno also was a donor and committee member for the campaign to build the Bryce Jordan Center and committed $250,000 to the drive to construct the Penn State All-Sports Museum, which was part of the seventh Beaver Stadium expansion project since he became head coach. The icon of college coaching has elevated Penn State football to a level matched by only a very few. And, since the day he arrived on the campus as a fresh-faced

FB Matt Suhey led the offense, rushing for 973 yards. DT Bruce Clark won All-America honors, but was injured the last half of the season.

their volunteer service to Penn State, make the Paternos a unique couple among colleges and universities nationwide. Their pledge is believed to be the most generous gift ever made by a collegiate coach and his family to a university. The Paterno gift endows faculty positions and scholarships in the College of the Liberal Arts, the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, the University Libraries and supported two building projects on the University Park campus — the interfaith Pasquerilla Spiritual Center, which opened in 2003, and the Penn State All-Sports Museum, which opened in 2002. “Penn State has been very good to both Sue and me,” Paterno said at the time of their 1998 gift. “We have met some wonderful people here, we’ve known many students who have gone on to become outstanding leaders in their professions and in society, and all of our children have received a first class education here. I’ve never felt better about Penn State and its future potential than I do right now. Sue and I want to do all we can to help the University reach that potential.” “I have a theory that Joe coaches not so much for what he can do for football as for what he can do for the University and the community,” Penn State president Graham Spanier said. “And that makes me the luckiest university president in the country.” The Paternos’ effort as co-chairs of the campaign to expand Pattee Library included a personal contribution of $250,000 among the $14 million raised. The Penn State Board of Trustees voted to name the new library wing after the Paternos. The five-story, 135,000square-foot expansion doubled the size of Pattee Library. The $34.4 million Paterno Library was dedicated on September 8, 2000.

Paterno oversees the seventh expansion of Beaver Stadium during his tenure, bringing capacity to 107,282, the second-largest in the nation.

PATERNO YEARS

assistant on Rip Engle’s new staff, Paterno has proven winning and educating are not mutually exclusive goals. The wisdom of Paterno’s “total person” approach to football — which addresses academic and lifestyle matters in addition to athletic prowess — has won almost universal endorsement from the “products of the system.” “...I can tell you that virtually all of the players he’s touched in fifty years as an assistant and head coach have been enriched by the experience,” former quarterback Todd Blackledge said in the forward to Quotable Joe, a book of quotations by and about Paterno. “I consider myself, and I know my teammates and Penn State players past and present feel likewise, a better person for having played for Joe Paterno.” LaVar Arrington was a two-time All-America and won the 1999 Butkus Award as the nation’s top linebacker as well as the Maxwell Club’s Chuck Bednarik Award, presented to the top collegiate defensive player. “If you’re not a man when you get there, you’ll be a man before you leave,” Arrington said of his Penn State experience. “...Joe has his system so that you’re prepared for life. Joe trains you more mentally than physically so that nothing will rattle you.” Ex-All-America linebacker Matt Millen, an ESPN/ABC football analyst, is of the opinion “the main thing Joe gives you is perspective. He’s a teacher. He does more than football stuff. He’s always giving you these little speeches, and after a while you hear them so often and understand them and they’re pretty true.” Paterno has developed 64 student-athletes who have earned first-team All-America honors a total of 77 times. Three of his many NFL players — linebacker Jack Ham, fullback Franco Harris and guard Mike Munchak — have been enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Ham, defensive tackle Mike Reid, tight end Ted Kwalick, linebacker Dennis Onkotz, tackle Keith Dorney and running backs John Cappelletti, Lydell Mitchell and Curt Warner are in the College Football Hall of Fame. Paterno’s enshrinement into the College Football Hall of Fame marked the second time the National Football Foundation has demonstrated his unique impact and standing on college football. In December 1991, Paterno became the first active coach ever to receive the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame Distinguished American Award. Since the award was instituted in 1966, it had never been presented to an active college coach. Other past winners include the late General James Van Fleet, Hollywood’s Bob Hope and Jimmy Stewart, former Notre Dame President Theodore Hesburgh, the late NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle and captains of industry such as John Galbreath, Sonny Werblin and Leon Hess. Two deceased former coaches — Vince Lombardi and Dave Nelson — are previous winners, although neither was active when honored. Tom Osborne of Nebraska received the award in 1995, then the second active coach cited.

“Throughout his tenure at Penn State, Joe Paterno has led his Nittany Lions in smart, aggressive, team-oriented football. As their plain white jerseys and blue numbers attest, they’re not a flashy bunch. But at the conclusion of each collegiate season, they’re invariably among the top teams in the country. Most importantly, at the end of their college careers Joe’s players have learned those valuable lessons of character and moral conduct that typify Coach Paterno himself.” Another former president, the late Ronald Reagan, characterized Paterno as a person “who has never forgotten that he is a teacher who’s preparing his students not just for the season, but for life.” As one almost could expect, Paterno sees his role as larger than merely charting “x’s and o’s” on a chalkboard. “What are coaches?” Paterno said in his acceptance speech at the 1991 Hall of Fame dinner. “Number one, we’re teachers and we’re educators. We have the same obligations as all teachers at our institutions, except we probably have more influence over our young people than anyone other than their families. “...we’re dealing with emotions; we’re dealing with commitment; we’re dealing with discipline, and loyalty, and pride. The things that make a difference in a person’s life — pride, loyalty and commitment — are the things that make a difference in this country. We’re teaching them the realities of the competitive life.” Endorsement of Paterno’s methods have been apparent in a variety of surveys. In 2004, he was recognized twice for his impact on college football. He was selected the second-best college football coach of alltime by a panel of more than 300 media, current and former football coaches, Heisman Trophy winners and members of the College Football Hall of Fame. Paterno also was chosen the nation’s best college football coach of the past 25 years by an ESPN25 expert panel in 2004. He finished No. 8 overall in the list-

1988: 5-6 Off to a fast start with four wins in their first five games, the Lions were a luckless team in the final six weeks, beating only Maryland. Narrow losses to Rutgers (5 points), Alabama (5) and Pittsburgh (7) left the Lions under .500 for the first time since 1938. Pressed into service by injuries, Tony Sacca became the first “true” freshman to start at quarterback in the Paterno Era. G Steve Wisniewski won All-America honors for the second consecutive year.

ing of college and professional coaches from all sports over the past 25 years. The kind of success the Nittany Lions have achieved hasn’t blurred Paterno’s vision of what’s right about college athletics. “Just winning is a silly reason to be serious about a game,” he said in his autobiography, Paterno: By the Book. “For a kid still in school, devotion to winning football games at nearly any cost may cripple his mind for life. Institutions of higher learning don’t have the moral right to exploit and mislead inexperienced kids that way. “The purpose of college football is to serve education,” Paterno said, “not the other way around. I hound my players to get involved. Ten years from now I want them to look back on college as a wonderful time of expanding themselves — not just four years of playing football.” Paterno’s support of scholarship and his creative and compelling views on sports and education have been widely recognized. He has been a frequent witness at Congressional hearings and he appeared before the Knight Commission. He delivered the Penn State spring commencement address in 1973 and is the recipient of three honorary degrees — Doctor of Laws from Brown, Doctor of Humane Letters from Gettysburg College and Doctor of Laws from Allegheny College. In 1991, Paterno was inducted as an honorary member of the Penn State chapter of Eta Sigma Phi, the national classics society, which honors excellence in the study of the ancient Greeks and Romans. “We wanted to honor him for two reasons,” Michele Ronnick, a classics professor said. “One, for the wonderful library fund he established...and also for his abiding love of Virgil. I don’t imagine there is another football coach in the country who can say that he’s read the ‘Aeneid’ in Latin and loved it. He is truly unique.” Paterno was bestowed a trio of diverse honors in 2006. He was named a Free Spirit honoree and recog-

In his 44th season, Paterno leads team to 11 wins giving the Nittany Lions back-to-back 11-win seasons. Penn State’s 19-17 victory over LSU in the Capital One Bowl gives Paterno 24 career bowl victories and the No. 1 all-time bowl winning percentage for any coach with at least 15 appearances.

Paterno leads the Lions to an 11-2 mark, a Big Ten co-championship and a berth in the Rose Bowl. Penn State has a team-record 10 firstteam All-Big Ten honorees and five Academic All-Americans and he is named Dave McClain Big Ten Coach-of-the-Year for the third time.

nized by The Freedom Forum at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Paterno also received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Dapper Dan Charities in Pittsburgh and the History Makers Award, presented by the Senator John Heinz Pittsburgh Regional History Center. Paterno’s dual focus of athletic excellence and academic accomplishment is one of the reasons he was presented the Amos Alonzo Stagg Award by the American Football Coaches Association, the AFCA’s highest honor, in 2002. The award honors those “whose services have been outstanding in the advancement of the best interests of football.” Also in 2002, Paterno and one of his former players, Dr. Dave Joyner, were corecipients of the Inspiration Award, presented by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Paterno also received the Hope Award from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society in 2002. In 2001, Paterno received the Pennsylvania Founder’s Award from then-Governor Tom Ridge, and was inducted into the Pittsburgh Hall of Fame. The Maxwell Club of Philadelphia presented him with its annual Reds Bagnell Award in 2000 for contributions to the game of football. Paterno was the ‘98 winner of the initial State Farm

Eddie Robinson Coach-of-the-Year Award, established to recognize an active college head coach who exemplifies the qualities of Coach Robinson as a role model to students and players, an active member of the community and an accomplished coach. In 1994, Paterno received the Ernie Davis Award, presented by the Leukemia Society of America and named in honor of the late Syracuse All-America and Heisman Trophy winner. Paterno was the first coach to receive the award. With his success has come a certain celebrity, which Paterno tolerates although he often finds it disruptive to his coaching persona. He is widely sought as a speaker for clinics and banquets and has appeared in magazine, newspaper and radio/television advertisements for companies like Milano Bread, TIAA-CREF and Burger King. Paterno was the first football coach ever named by Sports Illustrated as its Sportsman-of-the-Year, in 1986, and just the second college coach cited for the honor (UCLA basketball coach John Wooden was the other). Paterno had another unique experience in 1992 when he attended the dedication of the Joe Paterno Child Development Center on the Beaverton, Ore., campus of Nike, Inc.

Penn State rebounded to win its final four regular-season contests, including a 38-37 victory at Michigan State which produced the school’s biggest comeback in 28 years. For the second time in three years, Penn State and Tennessee battled in a bowl game, with the Lions claiming a Citrus Bowl win to give Joe Paterno his 15th postseason victory, tying him with Bear Bryant for the all-time lead. DT Lou Benfatti was a first-team All-America. 1994: 12-0 (Big Ten Champions) Rankings: 2nd AP, 2nd UPI, 2nd USA Today/CNN, 1st N.Y. Times Computer Bowl: Rose/Oregon, W 38-20 The Nittany Lions captured their first Big Ten and Rose Bowl championships with a 12-0 campaign, the third in school history. Penn State was ranked No. 2 in the final polls after three weeks at No. 1 in mid-season. The Rose Bowl win was Joe Paterno’s 16th in bowl games, making him the all-time leader in bowl wins. He also became the first coach to garner victories in the four traditional major bowl games. TE Kyle Brady, TB Ki-Jana Carter, QB Kerry Collins, WR Bobby Engram and G Jeff Hartings were first-team All-Americans, the squad’s most since 1978. Penn State compiled its fifth unbeaten, untied season under Paterno and became the first Big Ten team to record a perfect season since Ohio State in 1968. The squad extended its winning streak to 17 games, the longest in the nation. The Lions led the country in scoring (47.8 ppg.) and total offense (520.2 ypg.) and broke 14 team and 19 individual school records, three Big Ten and nine bowl records. 1995: 9-3 Rankings: 12th UPI, 12th USA Today/CNN, 13th AP Bowl: Outback/Auburn, W 43-14 Stung by consecutive home losses to Wisconsin, which snapped a 20-game winning streak, and Ohio State, the Nittany Lions won six of their final seven games, capped by a victory over Auburn in the Outback Bowl. Joe Paterno coached in his 500th game as a member of the Penn State staff against Wisconsin. QB Wally Richardson led the Lions to a quartet of fourth-quarter victories and set a school season record with 193 completions. Three-time All-America WR Bobby Engram finished his career with 12 school records. G Jeff Hartings became Penn State’s 10th two-time first-team All-American and only the fourth Nittany Lion to twice earn GTE/CoSIDA first-team Academic All-America honors. Ten players were selected in the NFL draft, the most of any school in the nation and the second-highest total in school history.

Penn State played in a New Year’s Day bowl for the sixth consecutive season and improved to 6-0 in the Fiesta Bowl, extending its non-conference winning streak to 17. The Texas game was Paterno’s 522nd contest on the staff, exactly half of Penn State’s games all-time. The senior class compiled a 42-7 career record, the second-highest number of wins in a four-year span in school history. Penn State finished in the Top 10 for the 20th time under Paterno.

Paterno moved into third place on the all-time wins list among major college coaches with a 31-25 victory at Purdue. The Lions took a 9-0 record and the nation’s No. 2 ranking into November, but a Minnesota field goal on the last play of the game began a three-game losing streak by a combined total of 12 points. In the Alamo Bowl, Penn State dominated Texas A&M, 24-0, the Lions’ first bowl shutout in 40 years. OLB LaVar Arrington, DE Courtney Brown and MLB Brandon Short were consensus All-Americans, the first time three Penn State defensive players were so honored since 1978.

So, too, are the Nittany Lions’ conservative uniforms, with the high-top black shoes, white helmets bereft of logos, and plain jerseys without the players’ names on the back. “I don’t think our uniforms look that bad,” he says. “I think they say something to kids about team-oriented play and an austere approach to life.” Born on 18th Street in Brooklyn, on December 21, 1926, the first-born of Angelo and Florence Paterno remembers his old neighborhood as a place where “playing daily at sports was our work: not only touch football but also punchball and stickball...” Paterno went to St. Edmond’s Grammar School and Brooklyn Prep high school where he played as a senior on the best Catholic-school team in the city. Brooklyn Prep’s only loss was to St. Cecilia of Englewood, N.J., coached by a young Vince Lombardi. “I had a sense that this young man had read far beyond his years,” the late Father Thomas

Bermingham, one of his high school teachers, said, “and was still reading on his own. I called him after class and I said, ‘Joseph, I can’t make you but I would love to have you do much more than the rest of the class.’ And, typical Joe Paterno, he jumped at that chance.” From Brooklyn Prep, Paterno, after serving the final year of World War II in the U.S. Army, accepted an athletic scholarship to Brown University. “...probably because of my unimpressive height and weight, the Paterno doorstep wasn’t over-run with college scouts,” he said. But, under the fatherly Rip Engle at Brown, Paterno blossomed into the heady quarterback of the Bears’ football team. Teaming with his younger brother, George, the Paternos were instrumental in Brown posting an 8-1 record in 1949 and becoming an Eastern powerhouse. Legendary sportswriter Stanley Woodward once described Paterno, who still holds the Brown career interception record (14), as a quarterback “who can’t run, can’t pass — just thinks and wins.” In addition to his role in the rushing and passing offenses, Paterno also returned punts and kickoffs, posting career averages of 8.8 and 20.1 yards, respectively. He had a 69-yard punt return for a touchdown to beat Holy Cross in 1949. Paterno also played two seasons of basketball at Brown (his freshman coach was the late Pro Football Hall of Fame legend Weeb Ewbank). Brown paid homage to its skinny ex-quarterback in 1993 when it named one of its major athletic awards in his honor. The coach attended a banquet in Providence to present the first “Joe Paterno Outstanding Male Freshman Athlete Award.” After his senior football season, Paterno took an Engle offer to work on a part-time basis with the Brown quarterbacks while awaiting graduation. He had been accepted into the Boston University law school and intended to follow the career path of his father, who went to night-school to earn his law degree, passing the bar exam at age 44. “Everything was set,” Paterno said, “until I got a surprising phone call from Rip Engle in Pennsylvania. He told me that his contract (to be the new head coach at Penn State) allowed him to bring one assistant coach. Rip astonished me by asking me to take the job.” After 16 years as an Engle assistant, Paterno was

2001: 5-6 The Nittany Lions won five of six games after the first 0-4 start in program history to put themselves one win away from a bowl bid, but lost the season-finale at Virginia to finish with consecutive losing seasons for the first time under Joe Paterno. A 38-35 comeback win at Northwestern on October 20 moved Paterno into a tie with Paul “Bear” Bryant for career victories among NCAA Division I-A coaches. The following week, Penn State rallied from a 27-9 deficit against Ohio State to win, 29-27, giving Paterno his record-setting 324th win in the biggest Beaver Stadium comeback in his tenure. Redshirt freshman QB Zack Mills led the Lions to three comeback wins and broke the school record for total offense in a game, compiling 418 yards in the win over the Buckeyes.

appointed head coach on February 19, 1966, a day after his friend and benefactor announced his retirement. In the 60 years since he arrived in Happy Valley, Paterno has turned aside many opportunities to leave, the most publicized a famous courtship by the Boston Patriots in the early 1970s. Explaining his decision to spurn the pros, Paterno told graduates in his 1973 commencement address: “Money alone will not make you happy. Success without honor is an unseasoned dish. It will satisfy your hunger, but it won’t taste good.” “Joe is everything that the word ‘passive’ isn’t,” former athletic director and longtime friend Jim Tarman said. “Ever since I’ve known Joe, assistant coach through now, he used to get up every morning, jump out of bed, and ask, ‘What can I do to make Penn State football, and Penn State, better today?’ And, he expected everybody around him to do that.” Paterno married the former Suzanne Pohland of Latrobe, Pa., in 1962. She’s a Penn State graduate, Class of ’62, and was honored in 2004 with the Penn State Distinguished Alumni Award, the University’s highest honor. They have five children, all of whom are Penn State graduates: daughters, Mrs. Diana Giegerich and Mrs. Mary Kathryn Hort, and sons, David, Jay (Joseph Jr.) and George Scott, a 2001 graduate of The Dickinson School of Law of The Pennsylvania State University. The Paternos have 17 grandchildren: Brian Andrew Giegerich, born in October 1995; Olivia Suzanne Hort (July 1996); Matthew Thomas Giegerich (May 1997); Robert Joseph Hort (January 1999); Sophia Nicole Paterno (April 1999); twins Joseph Vincent Paterno III and Caroline Arlene Paterno (January 2000); Sarah Katherine Paterno (June 2000); Christopher Paterno Hort (November 2000); Elizabeth Kathryn Paterno (July 2002); Nicole Suzanne Giegerich (August 2002); August David Paterno (June 2003); Jonathan Graybill Paterno (February 2004); Zachary Michael Paterno (May 2004); Paul Angelo Paterno (January 2006); Virginia Suzanne Paterno (August 2007) and Sally Paterno (April 2009). The late Father Bermingham, Paterno’s high school mentor, offered a touching retrospective on the man he first knew as a student at Brooklyn Prep: “The Father gave me the sense that I was being handed a treasure. Joe is a treasure...”

2002: 9-4 Rankings: 15th USA Today/ESPN, 16th AP Bowl: Capital One/Auburn, L 9-13 Penn State won at least nine games for the 24th time under Joe Paterno. The Nittany Lions suffered four losses, all by seven points or less, with two in overtime. A 40-7 thumping of Nebraska highlighted the non-conference season and Penn State played in its 20th New Year’s Day bowl game under Paterno. The Lions finished with a flourish behind TB Larry Johnson, who became just the ninth player in NCAA Division I-A history to rush for 2,000 yards in the regular-season. Johnson captured the Maxwell and Walter Camp Player-of-the-Year awards, the Doak Walker Award and was a consensus All-American. Defensive linemen Michael Haynes and Jimmy Kennedy also were first-team All-America picks. The trio was joined by WR Bryant Johnson as first-round selections in the 2003 NFL Draft, with a school-record four Lions chosen in the first round. 2003: 3-9 Penn State lost five games by 10 points or less during a challenging season. The Nittany Lions were not able to hold onto fourthquarter leads against Ohio State and Northwestern that could have turned around the season. The Lions closed the home schedule with a 52-7 win over Indiana on Senior Day. Joe Paterno moved into the top 12 in victories among Big Ten coaches who have coached at least 10 years in the conference. 2004: 4-7 Penn State was the nation’s only team to not allow more than 21 points in a game and ranked in the Top 10 in scoring, total and pass defense, recording their best NCAA defensive rankings since starting Big Ten play. Penn State lost five games by 11 points or less, but a defensive stand to preserve a win at Indiana and a Senior Day victory over Michigan State provided momentum at the end of the season. QB Zack Mills finished his career owning or sharing 18 school passing and total offense records. 2005: 11-1 (Big Ten Co-Champions) Rankings: 3rd AP, 3rd USA Today/ESPN Bowl: FedEx Orange/Florida State, W 26-23 (3 OT) Penn State garnered its 13th Top 5 finish under Joe Paterno with an 11-1 record and a share of the Big Ten Championship. The Nittany Lions capped the year with a 26-23 triple-overtime win over Florida State in the Orange Bowl, matching up Paterno and Bobby Bowden, ranked No. 1 and 2, respectively, in victories among major college coaches. DE Tamba Hali and junior LB Paul Posluszny were consensus first-team All-Americans, while T Levi Brown and CB Alan Zemaitis were second-team picks. Posluszny also won the Butkus and Bednarik awards and was a first-team Academic All-American. Senior QB Michael Robinson broke the school season total offense record and was the Big Ten Silver Football (MVP) recipient.

SUPPORT STAFF FRAN GANTER ASSOCIATE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR FOR FOOTBALL ADMINISTRATION Fran Ganter is in his seventh year as Associate Athletic Director for Football Administration after 37 years as a Penn State football player and coach. Named to his new post in February 2004, he oversees a variety of administrative aspects of the program, assisting head coach Joe Paterno and Director of Athletics Tim Curley in all facets of the program. A running back for the Nittany Lions from 1967-70, Ganter helped Penn State compile a 29-3 record, including undefeated seasons in 1968 and ’69. Winner of the squad’s Red Worrell Award in 1970, he graduated in 1971 and was the freshman coach the next fall, beginning a tenure on the coaching staff that would last 33 years. Ganter was a graduate assistant and J.V. coach before being named running backs and kickers coach in 1978. A native of Bethel Park, Pa., Ganter was named offensive coordinator in 1984 and in 2000 he was named Assistant Head Coach of the Nittany Lions. He helped Penn State to 28 bowl berths as a coach, three more as a player, five undefeated seasons and two national titles. During his highly successful tenure, Ganter coached six running backs and two kickers that earned first-team All-America honors. During his 20 years overseeing the offense, he was instrumental in the development of 12 offensive players that were first-team AllAmericans and many others that played in the National Football League. Ganter coached a number of Penn State greats, including running backs Curt Warner, D.J. Dozier, Blair Thomas, Ki-Jana Carter, Curtis Enis and Larry Johnson, all of whom were first-team All-Americans and firstround NFL Draft picks, as well as All-America kickers Chris and Matt Bahr. Among the other standouts he coached are running backs Sam Gash, Richie Anderson, Matt Suhey, Steve Smith, Gary Brown, Leroy Thompson, Jon Witman, Brian Milne and Eddie Drummond and kickers Robbie Gould and Brett Conway, all of whom played in the NFL. Among the many prolific offenses that Ganter directed, the 1994 Nittany Lions rank among the best in college football history. Penn State led the nation in total offense (520.2 ypg) and scoring with its 47.8 ppg average, ranking as the fourth-highest scoring average in NCAA history. The unit broke 14 team school records, led the Big Ten in every offensive category and shattered the record for scoring in Big Ten games with a 48.1 ppg average, a mark that remains. In his 44th consecutive year as a member of the Penn State Football family, Ganter was named Assistant Coach-of-the-Year by Athlon in 1994, as the Nittany Lions won the Big Ten and Rose Bowl, becoming the first team in Big Ten history to go 12-0. Ganter was inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame in May 2010. Ganter has four sons — Jonathan, Christopher, Jason and Ben. Jonathan played football at Princeton; Chris played at Penn State from 2001-04; Jason played for the Nittany Lions from 2003-07 and Ben was a senior on the Cornell University football team in 2009. 138

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; Sept. 5 — Daryll Clark was more than comfortable with his new starting wideouts and revamped offensive line and the Penn State defense did not permit Akron to earn a first down in the first half as the Nittany Lions rolled to a 31-7 win in Beaver Stadium in the season-opener. Penn State took a 31-0 halftime lead, rolling to 344 yards. The Lions allowed Akron only eight net yards in the first half. Penn State improved to 102-19-2 (83.7) in season-openers, having won 17 of its last 19, and to 37-7 (84.1) under Joe Paterno in openers. Clark set career-highs with his 29-of40 effort for 353 yards to earn Big Ten Offensive Player-of-the-Week honors. He threw three touchdown passes. His 29 completions were tied for No. 2 in the Penn State record books and his passing yardage was fifth-highest. In the first half, Clark was 17-of-25 for 254 yards, breaking the school record for first-half passing yardage. The previous mark was 231 yards by Anthony Morelli against FIU in the 2007 opener. In his first career start, wide receiver Derek Moye had a superlative day, setting career-highs with six receptions for 138 yards and one touchdown. Moye made four catches of 20 yards or more, including a leaping 42-yard effort to move the Lions deep into Akron territory. Chaz Powell set career-highs with seven catches for 65 yards, including an eight-yard touchdown grab in the first quarter. Graham Zug set career-bests with five catches for 62 yards and a score. Junior tailback Evan Royster opened the scoring on a five-yard run with just 3:42 elapsed in the game. He finished with a game-high 61 yards on 14 carries, as Penn State amassed 515 yards. The offensive line featured three new starters and the two returnees, Dennis

Junior linebacker Navorro Bowman left the game in the first quarter when he re-aggravated a preseason injury and sophomore Nate Stupar made the most of the opportunity, racking up a career-best 12 tackles (eight solo), with a sack. In his first game since the 2007 Alamo Bowl, Sean Lee made seven stops, with two for minus-yardage. Ollie Ogbu had a career-best six hits, with 2.5 TFL.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; Sept. 12 — Daryll Clark tossed three touchdown passes for the second straight game and linebacker Sean Lee helped the Penn State defense hold Syracuse to only 200 yards as the Nittany Lions posted a 28-7 victory in Beaver Stadium. The Nittany Lions upped their all-time series lead with their old rival to 42-23-5. The Orange played in Happy Valley for the first time since 1990. Penn State limited its first two opponents to less than 10 points for the first time since the 1998 season, when the Nittany Lions held Southern Mississippi to six points and Bowling Green to three. In the first two games, Penn State allowed a total of 93 rushing yards, an average of 46.5 ypg. Lee made a game-high 13 tackles, with 3.0 tackles for minus-17 yards, including a 13-yard sack of Greg Paulus to lead the Nittany Lions’ outstanding defensive effort. Linebacker Josh Hull tied his careerhigh with 11 hits and grabbed his second career interception. Safety Drew Astorino made six stops with a TFL and Jared Odrick made six tackles, with 0.5 TFL, and tipped a pass that Nate Stupar grabbed and returned 17 yards to the Syracuse two to set up a touchdown. Stupar made five stops, along with his first career pick, in his first career start. Clark was 20-of-31 for 240 yards, with three touchdowns and one interception, tossing at least three touchdown passes in a third straight regular-season game. Zug re-wrote his career-highs for the second straight week. He made six catches for 79 yards, with his 20-yard touchdown grab extending the Nittany Lions’ lead to 21-0 midway through the third quarter. Senior tight end Andrew Quarless made four catches for 35 yards. Senior punter Jeremy Boone had an outstanding game, with three punts for a

50.0 average, including one kick downed at the Syracuse two. The Nittany Lions took the game’s first possession to a 7-0 lead. Clark hit Royster on a slant, he averted two wouldbe tacklers and zipped 49 yards for the score just 3:19 into the game. The reception was a career-long for Royster, who made two catches for 61 yards. Penn State improved to 173-77-11 all-time against current Big East members and 25-7 against Big East opponents since the conference began football competition in 1991.

Penn State took a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter on the strength of a 33-yard run by Royster to near midfield and a 24-yard reverse by Powell. A catch by Graham Zug gave the Nittany Lions a first-and-goal and Clark connected with Mickey Shuler on a one-yard pass with 7:35 left in the opening period. Boone pinned the Owls deep in their own territory and the defense forced a three-and-out, with the Nittany Lions taking over on the Temple 35. With Royster doing the bulk of the work, he finished off the drive by stretching the ball over the goal line for a seven-yard score to make it 14-3 with 5:46 left in the half. Royster had 119 yards on 15 carries at halftime, as Penn State gained 222 yards compared to Temple’s 99.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; Sept. 26 — Penn State’s great start was nullified by four turnovers, a blocked punt and a safety, as Iowa rallied for a 21-10 win in the Big Ten-opener for both teams. The loss dropped No. 5 Penn State to 3-1 overall, while the Hawkeyes improved to 4-0. The Nittany Lions saw their 11game home winning streak come to an end, suffering just their third loss in their last 33 games in Beaver Stadium. Penn State scored on its first play from scrimmage to electrify the Whitehouse crowd of 109,316. The Nittany Lions then used a 20-play drive, consuming 10:17, to take a 10-0 first-quarter lead. But, the Hawkeyes scored the final 21 points, including 16 in the fourth quarter. Penn State gained 147 yards in the first quarter, but was limited to 160 the remainder of the night. In his first full game of the season, linebacker Navorro Bowman recorded a career-high 13 tackles, with three tacklesfor-loss for minus-7 yards. Josh Hull tied a career-high with 13 tackles, including 2.0 TFL for minus-8 yards, giving him 38 stops in the last three games. Safety Nick Sukay made a careerhigh nine tackles and grabbed his first career interception. He also had a careerbest four pass breakups. Bani Gbadyu made his fourth career start and had a career-high seven tackles, replacing an injured Sean Lee. With a steady rain falling most of the day, the Lions energized the crowd on their first play from scrimmage. Clark faked a hand-off to Evan Royster and launched a missile to Chaz Powell, who hauled in the pass near the Iowa 35 and sprinted into the end zone for a 79-yard scoring strike just 1:45 into the game. The 79-yard scoring strike was tied for the eighth-longest pass play in Penn State history. Combined with Stephfon Green’s 80-

yard TD catch against Michigan in 2008, two of Penn State’s 10 longest pass plays all-time have occurred in the past two years. On Iowa’s second possession, Sukay alertly dove and caught a pass that had been bobbled and kicked, grabbing it at the Penn State 21. The Nittany Lions then launched a 20-play drive over 10:17 that culminated in a 27-yard field goal by Wagner, making the score 10-0 with :52 left in the first period. The drive was Penn State’s longest for plays and time in the Big Ten era. After a scoreless third quarter, Iowa took the lead early in the fourth. Adrian Clayborn blocked a Jeremy Boone punt, the ball bounced up and he returned it for a 53-yard score with 12:21 to play. The block was the first of Boone’s career after 110 punts. The Penn State-Iowa series is tied, 11-11, with the visiting team having won 14 times in the 22 games.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill.; Oct. 3 — Penn State ran for a season-high 338 yards and held the ball for nearly 20 minutes in the second half en route to a 35-17 win at Illinois. The Nittany Lions improved to 10-1 in the next game following a loss since the start of the 2005 season. Leading, 7-3, at halftime, Penn State was dominant in the second half, scoring four touchdowns and holding the ball for 19:28. The Nittany Lions out-gained the Illini, 208-8, in the third quarter en route to 513 yards. Sophomore Stephfon Green (13-1201) and junior Evan Royster (17-105-1) eclipsed 100 rushing yards, giving Penn State its first 100-yard rushing tandem since Tony Hunt (151) and Michael Robinson (125) did so in a 2005 victory over Wisconsin. Green and Royster became the first pair of Penn State running backs to surpass 100 rushing yards in a Big Ten game (since 1993). Daryll Clark accounted for 258 yards of total offense. He was a very efficient 17-of-25 (68 pct.) for 175 yards, with no interceptions. He also ran for a career-high 83 yards, including a career-long 51-yard burst, and scored twice. Andrew Quarless led the Nittany Lions with five receptions and Derek Moye had four catches for 57 yards. The defense kept Illinois out of the end zone until less than nine minutes were left, with Penn State holding a 28-3 lead. Josh Hull recorded double-figure tackles for the fourth consecutive contest with 11, leading the Nittany Lions in hits for the third straight week. Bani Gbadyu started for an injured Sean Lee for the second straight week and made a career-high eight stops. Nick Sukay had seven solo hits. Defensive end Eric Latimore recorded

Early in the second quarter, Clark connected with Mickey Shuler and Graham Zug on consecutive first-down passes. Green then burst through a gaping hole on the left side, got a big block from pulling guard Lou Eliades and raced down the middle of the field for a 52-yard score.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; Oct. 17 — Penn State delivered its 40th shutout under coach Joe Paterno, throttling Minnesota to post a 20-0 Homecoming victory in snowy Beaver Stadium. The Nittany Lions limited Minnesota to just seven first downs, 37 rushing yards and 138 total yards. The shutout was the first by the Lions since their 31-0 victory at Temple in 2007. It was Penn State’s first shutout in a Big Ten game since winning at Purdue, 12-0, in 2006. The Lions held their fifth opponent in their first seven games to seven points or less for the first time since 1956. Penn State totaled 41:59 in time of possession, its most since having 42:01 against Brigham Young in 1991. The Nittany Lions gained 464 yards, with 287 passing yards from Daryll Clark and 177 rushing yards, led by Evan Royster with a season-high 137. Penn State did not have a turnover for the first time in 2009, despite the cold, wet conditions. The high temperature did not crack 40 degrees, marking the coldest Homecoming game in the Paterno era. The Nittany Lions had eight plays of at least 20 yards, giving them 15 big plays in the last two games. Clark was outstanding, going 21-of-32 for 287 yards, with one touchdown and no interceptions. Derek Moye had a tremendous game, tying his career-high with six catches and making a superlative touchdown catch with :35 remaining in the first half for a 130 lead.

giving up six to Indiana in 2008. Minnesota’s 40 plays were the fewest by a Penn State opponent since at least the 1977 season.

Penn State posted its second-highest point total in the Michigan series, trailing only the 46 points scored in 2008, to secure Joe Paterno’s 390th career win.

The Lions held the Wolverines to a season-low 250 yards, 176 yards below their season average of 426.6 ypg. After Michigan’s initial drive of 70 yards, Penn State limited the Wolverines to 96 yards on their next 11 possessions. Michigan entered the game leading the Big Ten in rushing at 235.0 ypg, but was limited to 110 yards on 40 carries (2.8 avg.). After gaining 36 yards on their first possession, the Nittany Lions held the hosts to 74 rushing yards the rest of the game. Navorro Bowman made a game-high 11 tackles. He also had a sack, recovered a fumble in Penn State territory and grabbed his first interception of the year. Josh Hull made 10 tackles, including 2.5 TFL for minus-10 yards, for his sixth double-figure tackle game of the season.

EVANSTON, Ill.; Oct. 31 — Penn State scored three touchdowns in less than four minutes in the fourth quarter and held Northwestern scoreless in the second half to post a 34-13 victory at Ryan Field. The Nittany Lions won their fifth consecutive game and their third Big Ten road game of the season. The Lions did not commit a turnover for the third consecutive game and forced two. During the fivegame winning streak, Penn State forced 11 turnovers and committed only two. Northwestern led, 13-10, at halftime, the first time Penn State had trailed at the break in 2009, but in the third quarter the defense began to put the clamps on, holding the Wildcats to just two yards on nine plays in the third quarter. Northwestern gained just 125 yards in the second half. Penn State gained 301 yards in the second half to finish with 437, averaging 7.5 yards per play. The Lions were 4-of-4 in the Red Zone, improving to 26-of-26 (19 TD, 7 FG) over the past seven games. Up one score, Clark fired a beautiful 53-yard TD strike to Derek Moye, the longest catch of his career, to make it 2713 with 10:16 left. Moye’s six catches tied his career-high for the third straight game. Evan Royster then burst through the line and into a wide open field, zipping 69 yards for the longest run of his outstanding career. Collin Wagner’s fourth PAT kick made it 34-13 with 8:47 to play to complete the 21-point outburst over 3:40. Clark had another brilliant effort, going 22-of-31 (70.9) for 274 yards, with one touchdown and no interceptions.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; Nov. 7 — Penn State’s five-game winning streak came to an end as Ohio State came out on top, 247, in a battle of two of the nation’s premier defenses. A sun-splashed crowd of 110,003 jammed Beaver Stadium in the facility’s 300th game. Penn State suffered just its fourth loss in its last 36 home games. The Buckeyes held the ball for 34:02 and limited Penn State to nine first downs and 201 yards of total offense to take a 1312 series lead. The visiting team won for the third consecutive time in the series after the home team had won 12 of the previous 14 meetings. The 24 points and 228 rushing yards by the Buckeyes were the most by a Penn State opponent in 2009, and the most rushing yards allowed by the Lions since giving up 288 yards to Minnesota in 2004. Penn State did not allow a 100-yard rusher for the 13th consecutive game. Sean Lee made 14 tackles, his most since recording 14 against Texas A&M in the 2007 Alamo Bowl. He became the fifth Nittany Lion to record at least 300 career hits. Josh Hull had 13 tackles, tying his career-high, compiling his seventh doublefigure tackle game of the season. Jeremy Boone had a career-high 10 punts for a 45.8 average. The Nittany Lions’ 10 punts were the most since they punted 11 times in the triple-overtime win over Florida State in the 2006 FedEx Orange Bowl. Graham Zug delivered a career-best 96 receiving yards on a career-high seven catches. His 31-yard catch in the first quarter was a season-long. Evan Royster moved into 10th place on the Penn State career rushing list. Penn State punted to end its first possession and the Buckeyes got a 41-yard punt return from Ray Small, taking the ball to the Penn State 9. On second down, Terrelle Pryor ran seven yards to give Ohio

State a 7-0 lead with 11:47 left in the first quarter. A 31-yard completion from Daryll Clark to Zug got the Nittany Lions moving on their second possession. On fourthand-goal from the Ohio State one, Clark leapt and stuck the ball over the goal line. Collin Wagner’s PAT kick made it 7-7 with 12:28 left in the second period. The rushing touchdown was the 21st of Clark’s career, a record for a Penn State quarterback, breaking a tie with Michael Robinson. The defenses continued to rule in the third quarter with the first five possessions resulting in punts. But, on the Buckeyes’ third possession of the half, Pryor connected with DeVier Posey on a 62-yard touchdown pass, the longest play against the Nittany Lions to that point of the season. Ohio State took a 17-7 lead with 1:47 left in the third period.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; Nov. 14 — Penn State overcame a 10-0 first-quarter deficit to beat Indiana, 31-20, on Senior Day. Twenty Nittany Lion seniors were introduced during a pregame ceremony. It was a pair of juniors, though, that helped spark the Nittany Lions to their 19th Senior Day win in the last 20 tries and boosted their series advantage to 13-0 over Indiana. Linebacker Navorro Bowman grabbed an interception and returned it 73 yards for his second defensive touchdown of 2009 to break a 10-10 third-quarter tie. He recorded a team-high 12 tackles, with 2.0 TFL, a sack and a pass breakup to earn Big Ten Defensive Player-of-the-Week accolades. The Nittany Lions held the Hoosiers to 48 rushing yards on 24 attempts, as Penn State limited its sixth opponent of the season to 65 or fewer yards on the ground. The Lions extended their streak of not allowing a 100-yard rusher to 14 games. Evan Royster accumulated 134 allpurpose yards and scored twice. He gained 95 yards on 17 carries (5.6). The Nittany Lions improved to 11-1 in their next game following a loss since the start of the 2005 season, 12-1 if including the 2009 season-opening win over Akron. Penn State posted its 29th season with at least nine wins since Joe Paterno became head coach in 1966. Penn State tied a season-low with two penalties for a season-low 10 yards. Bowman’s 73-yard interception return for a touchdown was the first for Penn State since Nolan McCready returned a pick 76 yards at Illinois in 2005. Bowman became the first Penn State defensive player to have two scores in a season since Tony Davis had two fumble returns for touchdowns in 2006.

ORLANDO, Fla.; Jan. 1 — Senior quarterback Daryll Clark led Penn State on a 65-yard drive in the waning minutes of the game and Collin Wagner connected on a 21-yard field goal with :57 left to play to lift the Nittany Lions to a dramatic 19-17 win over LSU in the 64th Capital One Bowl. Clark, the game MVP, led No. 9/11 Penn State (11-2) to its 15th 11-win season under Coach Joe Paterno, the all-time leader in bowl victories and appearances with a 24-11-1 record. The No. 13 Tigers suffered their first bowl loss under Coach Les Miles and finished with a 9-4 mark. The victory solidified Penn State’s 23rd Top 10 final ranking under Paterno. The Nittany Lions finished No. 8 in the USA Today Coaches poll and No. 9 in the Associated Press poll. Penn State improved to 51-13 (79.7) since the start of the 2005 season, tied for the nation’s No. 7 winning percentage in that span. LSU entered the game No. 9 in winning percentage over the past five seasons, and fell to 51-15 with the loss. Penn State improved to 27-13-2 (66.7) in bowl games, good for No. 3 in the nation in post-season wins and tied for No. 1 in winning percentage among teams with at least 15 bowl wins (Southern California: 32-16, 66.7). The Lions are 103 in bowl games since starting Big Ten competition. The Nittany Lions and Tigers met for just the second time, with the first a 16-9 Penn State win in the 1974 Orange Bowl. Wagner made a career-high four field goals, connecting from 26, 18, 20 and 21 yards. Wagner had never made four field goals during his prep or Penn State career. His four field goals tied the Penn State bowl record, matching Travis Forney’s four treys in the 1999 Outback Bowl win.

rally to score two touchdowns in a span of 2:24, grabbing a 17-16 lead with 12:49 to play on a one-yard run by Stevan Ridley. Penn State had to punt, but the defense held LSU to one first down and forced a punt, with the Lions taking over at their 31 with 6:54 to play. Penn State converted two third downs on the dramatic 12-play scoring drive. Clark connected with Graham Zug for a first down at the LSU 37. On the next play, Zug made a huge 17-yard sideline reception to the 20. On third-and-four from the Tigers’ 14, Stephfon Green burst through the line for a six-yard gain and a first down. Clark carried to the LSU two to set up Wagner’s game-winner. On the Tigers’ final possession, they faced a third-and-21 from their own 40 and time for one more play. Jordan Jefferson completed a pass to Rueben Randle, who reached the Penn State 35, but was hit by Eric Latimore and fumbled. Nick Sukay recovered to seal the victory. Clark, the 2009 Big Ten Co-MVP, was 18 of 35 for 216 yards, with one touchdown and no interceptions. He also gained 20 rushing yards. Compiling a spectacular 22-4 (84.6) record as the Nittany Lions’ starting signal-caller, Clark became the first Penn Stater to surpass 3,000 passing yards in a season, finishing with 3,003. Clark added the Penn State season total offense mark to his resume of records, gaining 3,214 yards to break Michael Robinson’s mark of 3,156. Clark’s other school records included season (24) and career (43) touchdown passes, and season (31) and career (65) touchdowns responsible for. His 6,361 career yards of total offense and 232 season completions were second in school annals. Andrew Quarless made a career-high and school bowl record eight receptions for 88 yards to break school records for catches by a tight end in a season (41) and career (87). The previous marks were 38 by Tony Stewart (2000) and 86 by Ted Kwalick (1966-68), respectively.

Boone’s season average of 43.3 yards tied for secondbest in school history. A heavy downpour soaked an already soft field before the 1 p.m. kickoff, but the rain ended before the first battle between the schools in 36 years got underway. The Nittany Lions scored the only points of the first quarter on a 37-yard scoring strike from Clark to Moye. Zug kept the drive alive with a leaping 21-yard grab on third down on the previous play. On the touchdown play, Clark rolled left and got a big block from Joe Suhey and fired the ball to Moye for his 24th touchdown pass of the season. Wagner’s PAT kick made it 70 with 1:54 left in the opening period. LSU got on the scoreboard early in the second quarter, as Josh Jasper connected on a 25-yard field goal to make it 73 with 14:15 left in the half. Midway through the second period the Nittany Lions drove 46 yards in 10 plays. The drive stalled inside the 10 and Wagner connected on a 26-yard field goal to extend the lead to 10-3 with 5:29 to play. Senior cornerback A.J. Wallace delivered the first turnover of the game when he alertly dove to snare a tipped pass just above the turf at the LSU 23-yard line. On first down, Royster burst 17 yards over the right side to the six-yard line. Guard Johnnie Troutman kept the drive alive when he recovered a fumble at the Tigers’ three. Wagner’s 18-yard field goal with :04 left gave the Lions a 13-3 halftime lead.

The Penn State defense forced LSU to punt on its first possession of the second half and the Tigers downed the punt at the Penn State two. The Nittany Lions took 6:51 off the clock, gaining 57 yards on 10 plays before being forced to punt. On the Tigers’ next possession, Bowman made the initial hit on Ridley, the ball-carrier, and Ollie Ogbu forced a fumble that Lee recovered at the LSU 20. The Nittany Lions, though, had to settle for a 20-yard field goal by Wagner to make it 163 with 2:27 left in the third quarter. On the ensuing kickoff, LSU returned the squib kick to the Penn State 47. Jefferson hit Brandon LaFell on a 24-yard touchdown pass to cut the Lions’ lead to 16-10 with :13 left in the third quarter. The Tigers used two big plays to take their first lead of the game. Trindon Holliday returned a Boone punt 37 yards, with Boone making a touchdown saving tackle at the LSU 49. Then, on third-and10, Jefferson scrambled away from Jared Odrick and threw a completion to Terrance Toliver, who took the ball to the Penn State one-yard line. Ridley ran for a one-yard score to give LSU a 17-16 lead with 12:49 left in the game to set up the late game drama.

BIG LIFE. BIG STAGE. BIG TEN. The Big Ten Conference is comprised of 11 world-class academic institutions who share a common mission of research, graduate, professional and undergraduate teaching and public service. The conference’s 100-plus years of history, strong tradition of competitive intercollegiate athletic programs, vast and passionate alumni base, and consistent leadership in innovations position the Big Ten and its entire community firmly on the Big Stage. The Big Ten has sustained a comprehensive set of shared practices and policies that enforce the priority of academics and emphasize the values of integrity, fairness and competitiveness in all aspects of its student-athletes’ lives, with the ultimate goal of ensuring that each individual has the opportunity to live a Big Life. STUDENT-ATHLETE OPPORTUNITIES ƒ Big Ten universities provide approximately $110 million in direct financial aid to more than 8,500 men and women student-athletes who compete for 25 championships, 12 for men and 13 for women. ƒ Conference institutions sponsor broad-based athletic programs with more than 270 teams. Other than the Ivy League, the Big Ten has the most broad-based athletic programs in the United States. TOP ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS ƒ Big Ten universities are members of the nation’s only conference whose constituency is entirely composed of institutions that are members of the AAU, a prestigious association of major academic and research institutions in the United States and Canada. MORE TELEVISION EXPOSURE ƒ The Big Ten’s media agreements with CBS Sports, ABC/ESPN, the Big Ten Network and CBS College Sports Network provide the conference with its greatest television exposure ever. ƒ In 2006, the Big Ten created the first national conference-owned television network devoted to the athletic and academic programs of a single conference. The Big Ten Network launched on Aug. 30, 2007, and became the first new network in cable or satellite television history to reach 30 million homes in its first 30 days. The Big Ten Network is now available to more than 75 million homes nationally through agreements with more than 300 cable/satellite affiliates and appears in 19 of the top 20 national media markets. ƒ Since the current media agreements began in 2007-08, every home football and men’s basketball game has been produced while women’s basketball has received more coverage than any other conference. ƒ The Big Ten’s new media agreements have resulted in the broadcast of more than 850 events nationally and regionally on an annual basis, compared to 300 events in the final year of the previous agreements.

1994

NATION’S BEST FANS ƒ Big Ten fans are some of the nation’s most supportive, with more than 8.9 million patrons attending conference home contests during the 2009-10 seasons for football, men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball alone. ƒ Over the last 32 seasons, the conference has ranked either No. 1 or No. 2 nationally in football, men’s basketball and wrestling attendance. For the past 18 seasons, women’s basketball has been ranked either No. 1 or No. 2 nationally in attendance. ƒ Big Ten institutions have more than 4.4 million living alumni and over 300,000 undergraduate students attending their universities. SUCCESSFUL PROGRAMS ƒ During the 2008-09 season, the Big Ten claimed five team national championships, including titles for Iowa wrestling, Penn State fencing and women’s volleyball, Northwestern lacrosse and Wisconsin women’s ice hockey. In addition, Big Ten teams finished as the national runners-up in men’s basketball and men’s gymnastics. ƒ Big Ten teams have claimed at least three national titles in nine of the last 10 seasons (1999-2000 through 2008-09). Over the last decade, the Big Ten has produced team national crowns in basketball, cross country, fencing, field hockey, football, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, synchronized swimming, tennis, track and field, volleyball and wrestling. LEADERSHIP IN GENDER EQUITY ƒ Since 1992, the Big Ten has shown a strong commitment to increasing opportunities for women in sports and exposure of women’s athletics by establishing a multi-phased gender equity program. In that time, the Big Ten has created in excess of 2,000 new opportunities for women student-athletes and established 28 new women’s teams, while expanding the number of women’s championships to 13 by adding field hockey, soccer and rowing. ƒ As part of the gender equity action plan, the Big Ten was the first conference to voluntarily adopt male/female participation goals for student-athletes in 1992. The Big Ten initiated a five-year plan for conference members to commit to a 60 percent/40 percent male-to-female student-athlete participation ratio. This was achieved as a conference by 1997 and 2000 was the first year that all institutions individually met this goal. As part of its commitment to gender equity, the Council of Presidents/Chancellors annually monitors this policy. During the 2008-09 year, all institutions were in compliance and the conference averaged a 52/48 male-to-female participation ratio. BUILDING THE FUTURE ƒ In 1989, the Big Ten created a community outreach program — SCORE (Success Comes Out of Reading Everyday), which partners the conference with two Chicago elementary schools to improve reading performances. What began with one school, two grade levels and five classrooms has grown in its 20th year to include grades kinder-

The conference’s donation is called the “Big Ten 9-11 Scholarship Fund”, and the $1 million contribution will be drawn from conference reserves which are generated as a result of football and men’s basketball participation in NCAA, bowl and regular-season television opportunities. ƒ The Big Ten has established numerous community programs surrounding the Big Ten Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments, including the Wayne Duke Postgraduate Award Scholarship, the Big

Land Grant Trophy

Governor’s Victory Bell

The Land Grant Trophy, established in 1993, is awarded to the winner of the Penn State-Michigan State game. It honors the universities as the nation’s two pioneer land-grant schools. Each was founded in 1855: Michigan State on February 12 and Penn State on February 22. The schools were the prototypes after which the land-grant system was patterned. The trophy features images of the schools’ landmark buildings — Penn State’s Old Main and Michigan State’s Beaumont Tower — and replicas of the Nittany Lion and the Spartan, the schools’ mascots.

Commissioned in 1993, the Governor’s Victory Bell is presented to the winner of the Penn State-Minnesota contest. It first was awarded when the Golden Gophers provided the opposition for Penn State’s first game as a member of the Big Ten. The trophy was commissioned by Pennsylvania Governor Robert Casey and Minnesota Governor Arne Carlson. The trophy features a brass bell bearing the medallion of the Big Ten Conference, the state seals of Minnesota and Pennsylvania and the athletic logos of each institution.

Penn State won an unprecedented 28th LambertMeadowlands Trophy in 2009 as Eastern football’s top team. In 1936, the Lambert brothers, Victor and Henry, of the distinguished New York City jewelry house that bears their name, established a memorial to their father, August — a trophy to be awarded to the outstanding Division I college football team in the East. In 1957, the Lambert Cup was instituted for Division II teams and, in 1966, the Lambert Bowl was added for Division III schools. Fifteen schools have been awarded the LambertMeadowlands Trophy. Penn State has won more Lambert-Meadowlands trophies than any four schools combined. 1947 1961 1962 1964 1967 1968 1969 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1977 1978

Linebacker Inducted: 1988 Penn State, 1968-70 Pittsburgh Steelers, 1971-82

Fullback Inducted: 1990 Penn State, 1969-71 Pittsburgh Steelers, 1972-83 Seattle Seahawks, 1984 In 13 NFL seasons, Franco Harris rushed for 12,120 yards on 2,949 carries and scored 91 touchdowns. He ranks No. 12 in the NFL in alltime rushing. He topped the 1,000yard mark eight times and totaled more than 100 yards rushing in 47 games. The Most Valuable Player in Super Bowl IX, Harris was elected to play in nine Pro Bowls. He was the 13th player chosen in the first round of the 1972 draft. Harris joined teammate Jack Ham on the Pro Football Hall of Fame All-Pro team of the 1970s. Harris resides in Sewickley, Pa., where he is a business executive.

Guard Inducted: 1964 Penn State, 1923-25 New York Yankees (AFL), 1926 New York Yankees (NFL), 1927-28 Green Bay Packers, 1929-35, 37 August “Mike” Michalske, who was born in Cleveland, Ohio, joined the New York Yankees of the American Football League after a distinguished career with the Nittany Lions. When the Yankees switched to the National Football League in 1927, he played two more seasons in New York before being traded to the Green Bay Packers, where he was a member of three NFL championship teams (1929-31). Although only 6-0 and 206 pounds, Michalske was an outstanding lead guard on running plays and a feared defender, whose blitzing technique was ahead of its time. A member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s All-Pro team of the 1920s, Michalske died on Oct. 26, 1983.

Running Back Inducted: 1975 Penn State, 1953-55 Baltimore Colts, 1956-67 Lenny Moore’s high-stepping style as an offensive centerpiece of the Baltimore Colts’ title teams of the late 1950s earned him the nickname “Spats.” In 12 seasons, he was a five-time All-Pro, played in seven Pro Bowls and set an NFL record by scoring at least one touchdown in 18 consecutive games. He missed most of the 1963 season and was voted the Comeback Player-of-the-Year in 1964, racking up more than 1,000 yards rushing and receiving and scoring 20 TDs. He had career-highs of 649 rushing yards (7.5 ypc) as a rookie in 1956, and 50 catches and 938 receiving yards in 1958. He scored 113 TDs and gained 12,451 yards of offense in his career. Moore was selected for the Hall of Fame All-Pro squad of the 1950s. A native of Reading, Pa., Moore lives in Randallstown, Md.

Guard Inducted: 2001 Penn State, 1979-81 Houston Oilers, 1982-93 A standout guard for 12 years with the National Football League’s Houston Oilers, Mike Munchak was selected for the Pro Bowl nine times in his career (1982-93). From Scranton, Pa., he was the eighth player selected and the first offensive lineman chosen in the 1982 draft. In just his third year in the league (1984), he was named to the first of his seven American Football Conference all-star teams and was selected All-Pro for the first time. Munchak was the centerpiece of an offensive line which helped the Oilers to seven consecutive playoff appearances (198793), including AFC Central Division titles in 1991 and ‘93. Munchak retired in 1993 after playing in 159 regular-season games. He joined the Oiler coaching staff in ‘94 and is offensive line coach of the Tennessee Titans.

A second-round draft choice in 1971, Jack Ham played on four Super Bowl title teams and was voted to the All-Pro team nine consecutive seasons in a career in which he made 32 pass interceptions. A unanimous choice for the NFL Team-of-the-Decade for the 1970s, Ham was the 1975 National Football League Defensive Playerof-the-Year. He is the president of a drug testing services company and lives in Moon Township, Pa. He also works as an analyst on the Penn State radio network as well as professional football broadcasts.

BEAVER STADIUM

107,282-SEAT HOME OF THE LIONS

Beaver Stadium, the home of the Nittany Lions, is one of the nation’s premier football venues. An expansion and renovation prior to the 2001 season added more than 12,000 seats, increasing the stadium’s capacity to 107,282 and easing the waiting list for season ticket requests from Penn State fans. The second-largest stadium in the nation, the renovation and expansion added rest rooms and concession facilities, new scoreboards with video screens,

and improved handicap access and pedestrian circulation patterns. The most noticeable changes are 60 enclosed skyboxes in a three-level structure above the East stands and an 11,500-seat upper deck in the South end zone. Beaver Stadium has more than doubled in size since it was moved from its former site northeast of Rec Hall on the west side of campus to the east end of the campus in 1960. The addition of a 10,033-seat upper deck in the north end zone in 1991 and portable seats on the

north end zone concourse increased the stadium’s capacity to 93,967. In 1980, expansion raised the capacity to 83,770. Lights were added in 1984. In 1985, the addition of walkways around the tops of the end zones and entry ramps at the four corners resulted in lowering the capacity to 83,370. Penn State dedicated Beaver Stadium with a 20-0 win over Boston University on Sept. 17, 1960. Lion halfback Eddie Caye scored the stadium’s first touchdown at 10:45 of the first quarter.

Beaver Stadium attendance figures include the press box, suites, bands, ushers and other stadium personnel. A uniquely engineered expansion during the winter, spring and summer of 1978 added more than 16,000 seats, bringing the capacity to 76,639. The stadium was cut into sections, raised eight feet by hydraulic jacks and precast concrete seating forms inserted within the inner circle of the stadium, where a running track previously had been located. Penn State’s first permanent home for football was Beaver Field, which stood between the present-day Osmond and Frear laboratories in center campus. Before that, games were played on the Old Main lawn. The first game at 500-seat Beaver Field was played on Nov. 6, 1893 against Western University of Pittsburgh (later to become the University of Pittsburgh). The 32-0 Penn State victory was delayed two days because of bad weather and played on a Monday afternoon. New Beaver Field, located near Rec Hall, was dedicated in 1909 with a 31-0 win over Grove City. Originally construct-

198 198

ed of wood, the stadium was converted to steel in 1936. The area also contained facilities for baseball, lacrosse, soccer and track and field. New Beaver Field was the Nittany Lions’ home through the 1959 season, after which the 30,000-seat stadium was dismantled and moved in 700 pieces one mile to the east side of campus. The old stadium was reassembled with 16,000 additional seats to form Beaver Stadium. The stadium is named in honor of James A. Beaver. A lawyer in nearby Bellefonte at the outbreak of the Civil War, he enlisted in the Union Army as a second lieutenant and rose to the rank of brigadier general prior to his discharge in 1864. Beaver, who died in 1914, served as a superior court judge, governor of Pennsylvania and president of the University’s Board of Trustees. He is credited with being among the most influential leaders in the development of the University at the turn of the century.

PENN STATE TRADITIONS HAPPY VALLEY HERITAGE

Nittany Lion Legend

The Nittany Lion Shrine

Blue & White

Penn State’s athletic symbol, chosen by the student body in 1906, is the mountain lion which once roamed central Pennsylvania. H.D. “Joe” Mason, a member of the Class of 1907, conducted a one-man campaign to choose a school mascot after seeing the Princeton tiger on a trip with the Penn State baseball team to that New Jersey campus. A student publication sponsored the campaign to select a mascot and Penn State is believed to be the first college to adopt the lion as a mascot. Since Penn State is located in the Nittany Valley at the foot of Mount Nittany, the lion was designated as a Nittany Lion. In regional folklore, Nittany (or Nita-Nee) was a valorous Indian princess in whose honor the Great Spirit caused Mount Nittany to be formed. A later namesake, daughter of chief O-Ko-Cho, who lived near the mouth of Penn’s Creek, fell in love with Malachi Boyer, a trader. The tearful maiden and her lost lover became legend and her name was given to the stately mountain.

Penn State’s Nittany Lion shrine was dedicated on Oct. 24, 1942, during Homecoming Weekend. Animal sculptor Heinz Warneke and stonecutter Joseph Garatti molded a 13-ton block of Indiana limestone into the most recognizable symbol of Penn State. The shrine was chosen from six models submitted by Warneke. The shrine is a gift of the Class of 1940 and rests in a natural setting of trees near Recreation Building. The site was chosen because of its accessibility, the surrounding trees and the fact that the sculpture would not be dwarfed by nearby buildings.

Penn State’s student-athletes are instantly identified by their blue and white uniforms — but those weren’t the original school colors. A three-member committee representing the sophomore, junior and senior classes was appointed in October of 1887 to develop color options from which the student body would select the school’s official colors. Dark pink and black was the unanimous choice of the student body after considering the color combinations presented by the committee. Soon many students and the baseball team were sporting pink and black striped blazers and caps. However, problems arose when the pink faded to white after several weeks of exposure to the sun. The students then opted for blue, rather than black, and white. The official announcement of the new choice was made on March 18, 1890.

The “S” Zone Organized in 1999 by the Penn State Lion Ambassadors, the student alumni corps, the “S” Zone revived one of the oldest traditions — Block S — in the student section at Beaver Stadium. Now formed when 700 underclassmen don coordinated blue and white tshirts, the giant block “S” is a striking symbol visible throughout the stadium and captured regularly by national television cameras. The “S” Zone, which has had several locations over the years, most recently moved from the end zone to the 20-yard line. The area is marked on the bleachers on Fridays before home games by volunteers from the Lion Ambassadors who also seek sponsorships to offset the cost of printing the t-shirts and coordinate the delivery and distribution of tshirts on game days.

THE GREATEST SHOW IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL

PENN STATE UNIVERSITY

MAKING LIFE BETTER SINCE 1855 Since admitting its first students in 1859, Penn State has awarded some 642,000 degrees whose value is recognized worldwide. That value reflects an educational experience second to none in quality and richness. In addition, Penn State alumni — there are more than 285,000 in Pennsylvania alone — have job- and social-networking opportunities that no other college or university in the Commonwealth can surpass. The University’s beginnings were humble. Chartered as a college of scientific agriculture, the institution was located in rural Centre County after James Irvin, a partner in the Centre Furnace iron works (remains of which can be seen today along East College Avenue), agreed to donate 200 acres of farmland for a campus. Founding President Evan Pugh wanted Penn State to embody a new approach to higher education that blended traditional studies with subjects that had practical value. He joined similar visionaries in other states in convincing Congress to pass the Morrill Land-Grant Act in 1862. The act gave individual states tracts of federal land to sell; the proceeds would support colleges that agreed to include engineering, science, and the liberal arts as well as agriculture in their course of studies. In 1863, the Pennsylvania legislature designated Penn State the Commonwealth’s sole land-grant institution, thus bestowing on the privately incorporated college a wide range of public functions and obligations that continue to this day. Initial efforts to diversify the curriculum met with mixed success, but by the 1890s Penn State was making its mark. It ranked among the nation’s 10 largest undergraduate engineer-

ing schools, a distinction it still holds. President George Atherton invigorated the liberal arts, and recruited Professor of English Fred Pattee to teach the nation’s first course in American literature, heretofore considered an unworthy stepchild of English literature. Professor of Agriculture Whitman Jordan’s pioneering research on using fertilizers for soil enrichment had global impact on crop yields. Penn State in 1871 became one of the first land-grant schools in the Northeast to admit women, graduated its first international student in 1890, and its first African-American student in 1905. In the early 1900s, Penn State launched an extensive system of outreach education, “carrying the college to the people,” as then-President Edwin Sparks liked to say. It established the nation’s first collegiate-level correspondence courses in agriculture, and in 1912 helped create a statewide system of county agents in agriculture and home economics. Today’s Penn State World Campus, with its “anywhere, anytime” learning through the Internet, is descended from that strong outreach tradition. But undergraduate education remained foremost. As enrollment surpassed 5,000 students in 1936, Penn State became Pennsylvania’s largest source of baccalaureate degrees. Also in the 1930s, a state-wide system of undergraduate centers was created for students who, in the depths of the Great Depression, could not afford to leave their hometowns to get a college education. The centers offered the first year of baccalaureate studies and were the predecessors of today’s system of 19 primarily undergraduate campuses located throughout the Commonwealth.

Following the Second World War, Penn State underwent unprecedented expansion, first to meet the needs of returning military veterans and later to accommodate the Baby Boom generation. Total enrollment at all Penn State campuses climbed to 40,000 by 1970. The University also emerged on the national scene as a research powerhouse. Research — a land-grant obligation — first garnered international attention in fields as diverse as dairy science, acoustics, psychology, and petroleum refining. As world-renowned faculty encouraged greater student participation in research and creative activities, Penn State was able to provide an enriched undergraduate experience unavailable at the state-owned universities. Annual research expenditures now exceed $765 million and help to make Penn State the largest single non-governmental contributor to Pennsylvania’s economy. The University generates about $8.5 billion in total economic impact each year. Today, as measured by the more than 100,000 applications for admissions it receives annually, Penn State is America’s most popular university. Enrollment is spread across the University Park campus, the research and administrative hub; 19 undergraduate campuses; Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, including the College of Medicine; the Pennsylvania College of Technology; the Penn State Dickinson School of Law, Carlisle campus; the Penn State Great Valley School of Graduate Professional Studies; and the Penn State World Campus.

PRESIDENT GRAHAM B. SPANIER Since he was appointed Penn State’s 16th president in 1995, Dr. Graham Spanier has been the guiding force behind several historic academic initiatives, including the creation of The Schreyer Honors College, the School of International Affairs, the Penn State World Campus, and the College of Information Sciences and Technology. He has expanded outreach to citizens of Pennsylvania and has overseen nearly $3 billion in philanthropic contributions to Penn State. Dr. Spanier has been described as an unconventional university president. He loves spending time with students. He is a magician and adviser to the Penn State Performing Magicians, and he has performed with Penn State’s Musical Theatre students, the Blue Band, Glee Club, and Chamber Orchestra. He occasionally substitutes for the Nittany Lion mascot. He has run with the bulls in Pamplona, has a commercial pilot’s license, and plays the washboard with the Deacons of Dixieland and other bands. He and his racquetball partner are eleven-time Penn State co-ed intramural racquetball champions. He is the host of “To the Best

of My Knowledge,” the live, call-in program on public television and radio and “Expert Opinion,” the sports topic program on the Big Ten Network. But most of his time is spent overseeing one of the nation’s largest and most comprehensive universities, with 95,000 students and 46,000 employees on 24 campuses, an annual budget of $4 billion, and a physical plant of 1,700 buildings. A national leader in higher education, Dr. Spanier was the recipient of the TIAA-CREF Theodore M. Hesburgh Award for Leadership Excellence. He serves as chair of the National Security Higher Education Advisory Board, is a member of the National Counterintelligence Working Group, is a member of the Board of Advisors of the Naval Postgraduate School, and serves on the board of Junior Achievement Worldwide. Dr. Spanier has chaired the Association of American Universities, the Board of Directors of the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges, the Big Ten Conference Council of Presidents/Chancellors, and the NCAA Division I Board of Directors. He led the Kellogg Commission on the Future of State and LandGrant Universities, was a founding member of the Internet2 board, and served on the Board of Trustees of the National 4-H Council. He was president of the National Council of Family Relations, chairman of the Board of Directors of the Christian Children’s Fund, vice-chair of the Worldwide

Universities Network, and co-chair of the Committee on Higher Education and the Entertainment Communities. Dr. Spanier’s prior positions include chancellor of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, provost and vice president for academic affairs at Oregon State University, and vice provost for undergraduate studies at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He previously served Penn State from 1973-1982 as a member of the faculty and in three administrative positions in Penn State’s College of Health and Human Development. He holds academic appointments as professor of human development and family studies, sociology, demography, and family and community medicine. A distinguished researcher and scholar, he has more than 100 scholarly publications, including 10 books, and was the founding editor of the Journal of Family Issues. A family sociologist, demographer, and marriage and family therapist, he earned his Ph.D. in sociology from Northwestern University, where he was a Woodrow Wilson Fellow, and his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Iowa State University, where he was honored with the Distinguished Achievement Citation and an honorary doctorate. His wife, Sandra, is an English professor specializing in 20th-century American literature and serves as the general editor of Hemingway’s letters. They have two children: Brian, a finance graduate of Penn State, and Hadley, a marketing graduate of Penn State.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

THE GREATEST SHOW IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR TIMOTHY CURLEY Well into his second decade as the architect of the Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics program, Tim Curley’s dynamic and passionate leadership has been the driving force behind the Nittany Lions’ tremendous level of athletic and academic achievement. Named Director of Athletics on December 30, 1993, Curley’s leadership has positioned Penn State among the nation’s premier athletic departments. During the Nittany Lions’ 17 full years as members of the Big Ten Conference, Penn State has captured 19 NCAA Championships, more than double the next closest Big Ten schools. Curley has seen Nittany Lion squads win 61 Big Ten titles and numerous individual national and conference crowns during his 16-plus years directing Penn State’s comprehensive and nationally-respected athletic program. The Lions have won eight NCAA Championships since March 2007. During the 2009 fall semester, the women’s volleyball team won an unprecedented third consecutive NCAA Championship, rallying from a 2-0 deficit to defeat Texas, 3-2, in an epic title match. Penn State won its seventh consecutive outright Big Ten crown and extended its winning streak to 102 matches, the second-longest streak by any team in NCAA Division I history. The football team won 11 games for the 15th time under Joe Paterno and won its fourth bowl game in the past five years. The women’s soccer team captured its 12th consecutive Big Ten Championship, tying the longest string of Big Ten women’s titles all-time in any sport. The women’s cross country team won the 2009 Big Ten title, the program’s first, and the women’s indoor track and field team captured the 2010 crown. In the spring of 2010, the fencing team won its 10th NCAA Championship under Curley’s watch. The women’s track and field team captured its third consecutive Big Ten outdoor title, for the “Triple Crown,” giving Penn State five conference titles in 2009-10. Nineteen squads were represented in their respective NCAA Championships or a bowl game in 2009-10. Include the 44 All-Americans and 40 first-team All-Big Ten selections (48 total first-team all-conference honorees), a recordtying student-athlete Graduation Success Rate of 89 percent and 10 Academic All-Americans and 2009-10 was another tremendous year of Success With Honor for the Nittany Lions. A 1976 Penn State graduate, Curley’s dedicated and enthusiastic leadership has helped Penn State capture 24 Big Ten championships or tournament titles the past five years, the second-highest total in the conference. In 2008-09, the women’s volleyball team captured its second consecutive NCAA title, earning a 38-0 record, and its sixth consecutive outright Big Ten Championship. The football team won its second conference title in four years and played in the 2009 Rose Bowl. The Nittany Lion basketball team won its first National Invitation Tournament championship, posting a program-record 27 victories, and the fencing team won another NCAA Championship. In 2007-08, Penn State became just the second school in NCAA history to have both volleyball teams win the national championship in the same academic year. During the fall 2005 semester, Penn State won an unprecedented five Big Ten Championships — in field hockey, football, men’s soccer, women’s soccer and women’s volleyball — becoming the first institution to win more than three titles in the fall season in Big Ten history. Nittany Lion teams compiled an incredible 49-1 record against Big Ten competition in the fall. In June 2009, Curley again was recognized for his efforts in helping Penn State maintain its stature as one of the nation’s premier athletic programs with his selection as the Northeast Athletic Director-of-the-Year by NACDA. He was one of just four regional Division I-A honorees and previously earned the award in 2003. As he surveys the athletic program he has been instrumental in assembling over the past 34 years, Tim Curley can’t help but be proud of the athletic and academic accomplishments of Penn State’s 750 student-athletes in 29 varsity sports: During a visit to the University Park campus, late NCAA President Myles Brand stated, “Penn State is the poster child for doing it right in college sports.”

2010 PENN STATE FOOTBALL

In the initial 17 years of the NACDA Directors’ Cup allsports survey, Penn State has finished in the Top 25 every year, earning seven Top 10 finishes, with 12 placings in the Top 15. The Lions finished No. 11 in 2009-10 and are one of only 10 programs nationwide to have finished in the Top 25 every year. In the most recent comprehensive look at the 117 colleges and universities participating in Division I football and men’s basketball, U.S. News and World Report selected Penn State as one of 10 Division I-A institutions for its College Sports Honor Roll. Data on gender equity, number of varsity sports, graduation rates, sanctions, and wins and losses were analyzed to determine the listing. Penn State has captured 19 NCAA Championships in men’s and women’s volleyball; men’s and women’s fencing and men’s gymnastics during Curley’s tenure. Nittany and Lady Lion teams have made 31 NCAA “Final Four” appearances during his tenure. Penn State also has established itself as a force in the highly competitive Big Ten — winning 65 regular-season or tournament titles in football, baseball, women’s basketball, field hockey, men’s gymnastics, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, women’s indoor and outdoor track and field and cross country, and women’s volleyball. The Lions won a school-record six titles in 2005-06, a mark they matched in 2008-09. In November 2009, the NCAA reported that Penn State student-athletes earned a school-record tying 89 percent Graduation Success Rate, 10 points higher than the national Division I-A average. Twenty-three of Penn State’s 25 teams compiled a GSR at or above the national average of 79 percent or higher (track and field and cross country count as one sport). Twenty-one Penn State squads earned a GSR higher than the national average for their sport, according to the NCAA. The NCAA also reported in 2009 that Penn State studentathletes registered a four-year federal graduation rate of 82 percent, significantly above the 63 percent national average. Penn State’s GSR and four-year federal graduation rates were secondhighest in the Big Ten to Northwestern. The 2009 NCAA report also showed that Penn State’s African-American student-athletes earned a four-year federal 78 percent graduation rate, 25 points higher than the 53 percent Division I national average. Of the Penn State student-athletes in the NCAA studies from 1993-94 through 2002-03 who exhausted their eligibility, 96 percent left with their diplomas. In June 2010, the NCAA reported that 12 Penn State teams earned a perfect Academic Progress Rate score of 1,000 in 2008-09 and that 24 teams had a four-year APR score at or above the Division I average for their respective sport. During the 2009 fall semester, 189 Penn State studentathletes compiled a 3.50 grade-point average or higher to gain Dean’s List recognition (minimum of 12 credits). A total of 415 student-athletes earned a GPA of 3.0 or above, representing 58 percent of active student-athletes during the fall semester. In 2009-10, 235 Penn State student-athletes received Academic All-Big Ten honors. Over the past 16 years, Penn State leads all Big Ten institutions with 3,547 all-academic honorees. A total of 10 student-athletes earned ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America accolades in 2009-10 on the heels of a school-record 11 the year prior. Penn State has 160 such selections all-time, with 112 in the last 16-plus years under Curley’s leadership, a figure higher than any other Big Ten school’s all-time total, since the program began in 1952. To continue to give the coaching staff and student-athletes the resources to succeed academically and athletically, Curley has guided the most ambitious fund-raising and athletics facilities campaigns in the department’s history. The “For The Future” Campaign entered the public phase in April 2010 and will conclude in 2014. More than $128 million was raised for Intercollegiate Athletics through June 2008 to easily surpass the Success With Honor Campaign goal of $100 million. The Athletics physical plant has improved substantially under Curley’s watch. The Nittany Lion Softball Park, golf clubhouse, soccer practice fields and men’s and women’s basketball offices are among projects recently completed or under construction. The most recently completed capital project was a new baseball stadium — Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. The Penn State baseball team shares the state-of-the-art facility with a short-season

minor league team — the State College Spikes. Curley played a significant role in developing the unique partnership for the construction of the 5,406-seat stadium, which opened in June 2006. A new student fitness center and expanded and renovated wrestling practice center, locker room and strength training facilities opened in Rec Hall in recent years. The 12,500-seat expansion and renovation of Beaver Stadium was completed in 2001, raising the capacity to 107,282. The project included private suite and club level seating previously unavailable and creation of the Penn State All-Sports Museum to house the University’s impressive collection of sports memorabilia. Other facility projects completed in the past decade include the Lasch Football Building, Ashenfelter Indoor Multi-Sport Facility and Sarni Tennis Center and renovations to the White Building, East Area Locker Room, Jeffrey Field and a new field hockey facility. Curley also oversees the expansive intramural/club sport programs — which included a fourth consecutive national championship in men’s ice hockey in 2003 and women’s rugby national titles in 2004, ‘09 and ‘10 — on the University Park campus, as well as general recreational activities. He’s charged as well with responsibility for the athletic and recreational programs at Penn State’s Commonwealth Campuses. It is a dizzying pace for Curley, who is a regular presence at athletic events, team banquets, alumni meetings and regional and national meetings of athletic administrators. Curley served as president of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) in 2005-06. He was the first Penn State Athletic Director to serve as president of NACDA, which is a professional and educational association for more than 6,100 athletic administrators at more than 1,600 institutions in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Elected a NACDA officer in 2002, Curley is a recent member of the NCAA Committee on Academic Performance (CAP) and the Board of Directors of the Honda Collegiate Women Sports Awards. He also is on the Boards of Visitors for Penn State’s John Curley Center for Sports Journalism and the advisory board for the Center for Sports Business and Research in The Smeal College of Business. Curley also was appointed to a special NCAA task force that reviewed Division I recruiting bylaws and to the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee, a group which he chaired. He previously was a member of the NCAA Division I Championships/ Competition Cabinet and served as chair of the NCAA Postseason Bowl Certification Sub-Committee. It is no exaggeration to say Tim Curley is someone who knows the Penn State athletic program from the ground up. A State College product, he grew up across the street from New Beaver Field where some of his most memorable days as a youngster were spent there and in Rec Hall. He parked cars, sold game programs and served as a baseball batboy. The top assistant to Athletic Director Jim Tarman, Curley was named Director of Athletics on December 30, 1993, when Tarman retired after 35 years as a Penn State athletic administrator. Curley, 56, has been a full-time member of the athletic staff since he joined the department as a graduate assistant football coach. A product of State College Area High School where he played basketball and football for Jim Williams’ undefeated 1971 team, Curley walked on as a football player only to have his career cut short by injuries. After earning his bachelor’s degree in health and physical education in 1976, he was a graduate assistant coach while pursuing his master’s degree in counselor education. Curley was named the Lions’ first full-time football recruiting coordinator in 1978 and was instrumental in identifying and recruiting a number of members of the 1982 national championship team. In 1981, he was named assistant to the athletic director where he was involved with the day-to-day operations of the department. Curley was active in the development of the Academic Support Center for Student-Athletes; the Penn State Sports Medicine Center; the Varsity “S” Club and the Football Letterman’s Club during his tenure as assistant to the athletic director. He also was instrumental in putting in place Penn State’s first NCAA compliance program and acted as the department’s compliance coordinator for five years before surrendering those responsibilities when he was named Associate Athletic Director in 1992. He is married to the former Melinda Harr of Washington, Pa., who earned degrees from Penn State in 1977 and 1986. The Curleys have two children — a daughter, Devon, and a son, Tanner.

to intercollegiate athletics, the Big Ten Conference has been at the forefront in addressing and investigating the problems and concerns of minority student-athletes. The Big Ten Advisory Commission, formed more than 20 years ago, represents a positive approach to achieving the Conference’s goal of providing quality and equal education for all its student-athletes. The Commission consists of 11 former African-American alumnae and alumni from each Big Ten university. Each individual represented their institution in intercollegiate athletics and now are prominent professionals in their chosen fields. Rahsaan Carlton, athletic director at Penn State Harrisburg, is Penn State’s representative on the Big Ten Advisory Commission.

A PROGRAM SECOND TO NONE

The 2009-10 academic year marked Penn State’s 17th complete year in the Big Ten Conference. In that time, the Nittany Lions and Lady Lions have established themselves as annual contenders in 24 Big Ten Championship sports, winning 65 titles. The Nittany Lions completed the school’s integration into the Big Ten in 1993 by joining the chase for their firstever conference football crown and the accompanying Rose Bowl bid. The integration of the football program concluded a process that began in June 1990, with Penn State’s initial acceptance as the 11th member of the Big Ten Conference.

In just its second year of Big Ten competition, Penn State won its first Big Ten and Rose Bowl championships, becoming the first conference football squad to finish with a perfect record since Ohio State in 1968 and the firstever to compile a 12-0 mark. Penn State made its Big Ten debut in 18 sports during the 1991-92 athletic season. The Penn State men’s and women’s basketball teams and the wrestling squad first competed in the conference in 1992-93. Boasting one of the largest intercollegiate athletic programs in the nation, Penn State fields teams in 15 men’s and 14 women’s sports. All 29

programs are funded at 100 percent scholarship levels. The breadth of the University’s athletic offerings has been matched by a generous harvest of national, regional and conference titles. Penn State’s football team has captured a pair of national championships — 1982 and 1986 — and consistently is ranked in the nation’s Top 10. Penn State has won 66 national championships in all sports, with eight NCAA titles since March 2007. The fencing and women’s volleyball teams were national champions in 2008-09 and 2009-10; men’s and women’s volleyball in 2007-08; fencing and men’s gymnastics in 2006-07.

2009-10 HIGHLIGHTS

Penn State was No. 11 in the Learfield Sports/NACDA Directors’ Cup standings, marking its 12th Top 15 finish in the 17-year history of the Directors’ Cup. The Lions have placed in the Top 25 every year of the survey, with eight Top 10 finishes. Penn State is one of just 10 schools ranked in the Top 25 of all 17 Directors’ Cup surveys. The Nittany Lions had 44 All-Americans and 40 first-team All-Big Ten selections (48 total firstteam all-conference honorees). The Penn State women’s volleyball team won an unprecedented third consecutive NCAA Championship and the fencing team won its third national title in four years, giving the Nittany Lions eight NCAA team titles overall since March 2007, and an all-time total of 66 national titles. Penn State has won 19 NCAA Championships since 1993-94, its first full year in the Big Ten Conference, more than double the total of the next highest Big Ten schools (Iowa and Minnesota with 9).

Penn State won five Big Ten Championships, as women’s cross country, women’s soccer, women’s indoor track and field, women’s outdoor track and field and women’s volleyball captured conference titles. Penn State has won 65 Big Ten Championships all-time, with 24 titles since the fall of 2005, second-highest in the conference. The No. 1-ranked women’s volleyball team became the first team in NCAA women’s volleyball history to win three straight National Championships and in doing so, extended its win streak to 102 via a dramatic 3-2 comeback title match win over Texas. The Nittany Lions finished with a 38-0 record for the second consecutive year, only the fifth NCAA unbeaten in the sport. Led by Hall of Fame coach Russ Rose, Penn State’s 102-match winning streak is the second-longest in NCAA Division I history, trailing only the Miami, Fla. men’s tennis team. The squad won its seventh consecutive Big Ten title and 13th overall, losing only two sets all season. Four Nittany Lions earned All-America honors, led by senior Megan Hodge, who was selected National Player-of-the-Year. Hodge also was co-winner of the 2009-10 Honda-Broderick Cup as the nation’s Collegiate Woman Athlete-of-the-Year. She was named Penn State’s sixth winner of the Suzy Favor Award as the Big Ten’s Female Athlete-of-theYear and was nominated for an ESPY Award as the nation’s Best Female College Athlete. Hodge

also was her sport’s Academic All-American®-ofthe-Year. The fencing team captured its nation’s-best 12th NCAA Championship since 1990 under Coach Emmanuil Kaidanov and third in four years. Freshman Margherita Guzzi Vincenti was the national champion in women’s epee. The women’s track and field team earned the conference’s “triple crown” for 2009-10, becoming just the third school to do so. Penn State won its third consecutive Big Ten Outdoor Championship. Beth Alford-Sullivan swept all three Big Ten Coach-of-the-Year accolades in 2009-10. The team was fourth at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, tying its best finish in program history, with nine All-Americans. Senior Bridget Franek won the 3,000-meter steeplechase. The football team compiled its second consecutive 11-2 campaign with a Capital One Bowl victory over LSU on New Year’s Day. Penn State won its fourth bowl game in the last five years, improving its record to 51-13 since 2005. The women’s soccer team continued its sustained excellence with its 12th straight Big Ten Championship. Women’s cross country won its first Big Ten Championship to begin Penn State’s “triple crown” of conference titles in 2009-10. Bridget Franek won the individual title. The women’s indoor track and field team won its second Big Ten indoor title and placed 13th at the NCAA Championships. The men’s volleyball team captured its 12th consecutive EIVA Championship and 22nd overall, advancing to the national semifinals for the 12th straight year. Coach Cael Sanderson’s first Nittany Lion wrestling squad finished ninth at the NCAA Championships, with senior Dan Vallimont second at 165 pounds. Senior Cyler Sanderson was the Big Ten Champion at 157 pounds, becoming Penn State’s 20th Big Ten titlist. The Lady Lions made their first post-season appearance in five years, securing a bid to the WNIT. Guard Tyra Grant was a first-team All-Big Ten pick for the second consecutive year.
