Big Ten Winner Will Receive Stagg-Paterno Trophy In December 2010, the Big Ten Conference announced that the winning team in the Big Ten Football Championship game will receive the Stagg-Paterno Championship Trophy. The trophy pays homage to Paterno and Amos Alonzo Stagg, who won 199 games at the University of Chicago when the Maroons were Big Ten members.

Paterno ranks fifth among Big Ten coaches all-time with 154 wins since the Nittany Lions began conference play in 1993. Stagg’s win total is the second-highest total in Big Ten history.

Seven Bowl Teams On Slate

The winner of the Big Ten Football Championship game will receive the Stagg-Paterno Championship Trophy. Joe Paterno enters the 2011 season, his 46th as head coach at Penn State, with a major college record 401 wins and 24 victories in bowl games.

Non-Conference Success Penn State has a 64-14 (82.1) record in non-conference games since starting Big Ten Conference play in 1993, including victories against: Arizona, Auburn, Florida State, LSU, Louisville (2), Miami (Fla.), Maryland, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Oregon, Oregon State, Pittsburgh (3), South Florida, Southern California (3), Southern Mississippi (2), Tennessee (2), Texas, Texas A&M (2), Texas Tech, Virginia and UCF (2).

The Nittany Lions have won 18 of their last 21 nonconference games, with the lone losses coming to Southern California in the 2009 Rose Bowl, at Alabama (2010) and to Florida in the 2011 Outback Bowl.

Big Ten Welcomes Nebraska Penn State’s 19th season of Big Ten Conference competition will bring significant changes. Nebraska officially joins the Big Ten on July 1 and will begin football play this fall, with the 12 institutions split into the Leaders and Legends Divisions.

The Nittany Lions are in the Leaders Division with Illinois, Indiana, Ohio State, Purdue and Wisconsin and

will play their division foes every season, as well as protected crossover opponent Nebraska. Penn State will play two other teams from the Legends Division each season on a rotating basis, with Iowa and Northwestern set for the 2011 and ‘12 seasons. Michigan, Michigan State and Minnesota are the other Legends Division members.

The Nittany Lions will open Big Ten play on Oct. 1, visiting Indiana, and the conference home-opener is Oct. 8 against Iowa. Penn State’s Homecoming game is Oct. 15 against Purdue and Senior Day is Nov. 12 when the Cornhuskers visit in the 14th meeting between the national powers. Penn State leads the series, 7-6, and the squads will be meeting for the first time since 2003.

Nebraska last visited Beaver Stadium in 2002.

The Nittany Lions will face seven teams that played in bowl games last year, including four at home. Among the teams coming to Beaver Stadium this fall are 2010 bowl teams Alabama (Capital One), Iowa (Insight), Illinois (Texas) and Nebraska (Holiday). Penn State also will face three bowl teams on the road in Northwestern (Ticket City), Ohio State (Sugar) and Wisconsin (Rose).

Alabama Returns To Happy Valley Penn State and Alabama renewed their rivalry last year in Tuscaloosa and the Crimson Tide will visit Beaver Stadium on Sept. 10 for the first time since the Tide claimed a 17-16 win in 1989.

Alabama leads the series, 9-5, with the teams playing every season from 1981-90 after meeting in a pair of Sugar Bowls during the second half of the 1970s.

Virgina, Syracuse, Rutgers Ahead Penn State played Notre Dame in 2006 and ‘07 and renewed its rivalry with Syracuse in 2008 and ‘09. The Nittany Lions and Orange will open the 2013 season at the New Meadowlands Stadium. Following the current series with Alabama, the Nittany Lions will play Virginia in 2012 and ’13 and Rutgers in 2014 and ’15.

Big Ten Championship Game Dec. 3 The winners of the Leaders and Legends Divisions will play in the inaugural Big Ten Championship game in primetime on Saturday, Dec. 3, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Five Big Ten New Year’s Day Bowls

Among Best In BCS, New Year’s Bowls

The Big Ten’s post-season lineup for the 2010-13 seasons includes 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 Progressive Gator, Texas and TicketCity Classic. The Big Ten is in the midst of an eight-year extension with the Rose Bowl through the 2013 season. This Big Ten bowl lineup will run concurrently with the latest Bowl Championship Series contract.

The Big Ten’s 2010-13 bowl lineup begins in late December with the Texas Bowl in Houston against a Big 12 opponent, followed by six more contests played over an estimated 26-hour period on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. The Insight Bowl will be played in late December, followed by five more conference bowl games over a roughly nine-hour period on Jan. 1 or 2, including the TicketCity Classic (vs. Big 12/Conference USA), Capital One Bowl, Outback Bowl, Gator Bowl (SEC) and the Rose Bowl Game presented by Citi.

Over the past six years, the Nittany Lions have won two Big Ten Championships, won four bowl games and played in five New Year’s or Bowl Championship Series (BCS) games, the nation's third-highest total.

Joe Paterno has led Penn State to 25 New Year’s or BCS contests, compiling a 17-8 record.

Nation’s No. 2 Bowl Winning Pct. The Nittany Lions are 27-14-2 in bowl games, with their 65.1 winning percentage second in the nation among schools that have at least 20 bowl appearances.

Penn State trails only Southern California, which has a 32-16 (66.7) post-season mark.

Penn State ranks No. 3 in the nation with its 27 bowl wins and No. 8 with 43 appearances.

Big Ten Bowl Leader Penn State leads all Big Ten institutions in bowl victories (27), appearances (43) and winning percentage (65.1). The Nittany Lions are 10-4 in post-season contests since starting Big Ten competition in 1993, winning four of their last six bowl games, including three New Year’s Day games — FedEx Orange, Outback and Capital One.

Second In Wins In Big Ten Since 1993 Penn State will be playing its 19th season as a member of the Big Ten Conference this fall. Since 1993, the Nittany Lions are second in the Big Ten in overall victories with a 154-68 record. Penn State is 90-54 in conference contests, trailing only Ohio State and Michigan.

Big Ten No-Plays Penn State will not meet Legends Division members Michigan, Michigan State and Minnesota during the 2011 and 2012 regular-seasons. Two teams from the Legends Division will rotate onto the Nittany Lions’ schedule every two years. Penn State will play Nebraska every season as a protected crossover game.

Fifty Years In Beaver Stadium The Nittany Lions moved across campus and into Beaver Stadium for the 1960 season. Penn State owns a superlative 247-61 (80.2) record through 51 seasons in the nation’s second-largest facility, having won 38 of its last 44 home games.

Sixty-Two Seasons In Happy Valley Joe Paterno is in his 62nd season as a member of the Penn State coaching staff. He came to Penn State with new head coach Rip Engle before graduating from Brown University in 1950. After 16 seasons as an assistant coach under Engle, Paterno was named the Nittany Lions’ 14th head football coach on February 19, 1966.

The Hall of Fame mentor is entering his 46th season as head coach.

Paterno Longevity Amazing Since Joe Paterno became head coach in 1966, there have been 883 head coaching changes in Division I-A football, an average of more than six changes per institution, including 22 changes after the 2010 season.

There have been 35 head coaches at the other Big Ten institutions since the Nittany Lions began conference play in 1993.

All-Time Leader In Bowl Wins And Appearances Joe Paterno owns a post-season record of 24-12-1, a winning percentage of 66.2, including a 17-8 mark in New Year’s Day bowl games. Paterno is the all-time leader in bowl wins and appearances (37) and his winning percentage is No. 3 all-time among coaches with at least 15 bowl appearances.

Paterno Receives NCAA President’s Gerald Ford Award Joe Paterno received the 2011 NCAA President’s Gerald R. Ford Award from Mark Emmert at the NCAA Convention in January.

The NCAA President’s Gerald R. Ford Award, named in recognition of former President Gerald Ford, honors an individual who has provided significant leadership as an advocate for intercollegiate athletics on a continuous basis over the course of their career.

The Nittany Lions’ 89 percent federal graduation rate led all Big Ten Conference institutions and was 34 points above the 55 percent FBS average, according to the NCAA data.

The Nittany Lions also led all 2009 AP Top 25 teams with a program-record 85 percent Graduation Success Rate. The figure was based on Penn State football student-athletes entering the University in the fall of 1999 through 2002. Penn State’s 85 percent Graduation Success Rate was significantly higher than the 67 percent FBS average and was second to Northwestern among Big Ten Conference institutions, according to the NCAA.

Experience Returning At Quarterback The Nittany Lions return two quarterbacks with starting experience. Redshirt junior Matt McGloin started five of the last six games last season. Appearing in nine games, the Scranton native threw for 1,548 yards, including 14 touchdowns. McGloin averaged 172.0 yards per contest while completing 55 percent of his passes.

Sophomore Rob Bolden appeared in 10 games last season, including eight starts. He was the first Penn State true freshman quarterback to start a seasonopener since 1910. Bolden threw for 1,360 yards and five touchdowns, while completing 58 percent of his passes. Junior Kevin Newsome and redshirt freshman Paul Jones also will be challenging for what should be a highly-competitive battle for the position.

Trio Of Starters Return To Line

Senior left tackle Quinn Barham started all 13 games last season and is one of three starters returning to a Penn State offensive line that finished second in the Big Ten, allowing just 12 sacks.

Penn State-Florida No. 4 TV Audience Among All Bowl Games The Penn State-Florida meeting in the 2011 Outback Bowl delivered an impressive television audience, ranking as the fourth-highest rated contest among all 35 bowl games and doubling the audience from the 2010 game in Tampa.

The ESPN on ABC telecast of the contest between the Nittany Lions and Gators delivered a 7.1 rating, translating into 8.17 million U.S. TV households and 12.445 million viewers, producing the highest rating for a college football game on ABC during the 2010 season.

The 2011 Outback Bowl, which kicked at 1 p.m. on New Year’s Day, garnered a higher rating and larger TV audience than two Bowl Championship Series games played in primetime.

The Penn State-Florida contest produced a 103 percent increase over the 4.01 million TV households that watched the 2010 Outback Bowl on ESPN. The Nittany Lions and Gators also produced a TV rating that was 101 percent higher than the 3.5 figure the 2010 Outback Bowl earned.

The BCS National Championship Game (15.3 rating), the Rose Bowl (11.3) and the Allstate Sugar Bowl (8.2) were the only bowl games to record a higher TV rating than Penn State-Florida in the 2011 Outback Bowl.

Senior tackles Quinn Barham and Chima Okoli will anchor the offensive line, a unit that finished second in the Big Ten in fewest sacks allowed last year with 12.

The Nittany Lions return three players with starting experience from 2010, including Barham, Okoli and senior guard Johnnie Troutman.

Barham, who started all 13 games at left tackle in 2010, evolved into a very consistent performer on the Penn State offensive line and should again play a big role for the Nittany Lions. Okoli, who showed good progress throughout the season, started eight games at right tackle.

Troutman, who started the final 11 games at left guard, has been in the starting lineup in 18 games over the past two seasons. With nine games of starting experience, senior DeOn’tae Pannell could play a big role on the offensive line, having played guard and tackle during his career. Junior center Matt Stankiewitch also could emerge as a significant contributor.

Talented Receiving Corps Coming off a breakout season in 2010, Derek Moye is among the top returning receivers in the Big Ten and the nation. He made 53 receptions for 885 yards and eight touchdowns in 2010. Moye’s 16.7 average per reception was good for No. 2 in the Big Ten and he

caught at least one touchdown pass in seven of the last eight games.

Junior wide receiver Justin Brown also returns to the starting lineup after a strong finish to the 2010 season.

Brown made significant progress for the Nittany Lions last fall. The athletic receiver, who provides a big target for the passing game, finished third on the squad with 33 receptions for 452 yards and a score.

Devon Smith and the return of Curtis Drake will bolster the athleticism in the Nittany Lion passing game.

Smith tallied 27 receptions in 2010 and will play a key role in the offense. Drake, who was sidelined with a leg injury in 2010, brings good speed and route running ability to the receiving corps. He re-injured his leg in spring practice, but should be 100 percent in time for preseason camp. Sophomore Brandon Moseby-Felder also could emerge as a bigger contributor.

Senior Andrew Szczerba and sophomores Kevin Haplea and Garry Gilliam bring experience, size and talent to the tight end position. Szczerba missed all of last season with a back injury and Gilliam suffered a season-ending knee injury in the Big Ten-opener at Iowa.

Depth Bolsters Backfield Despite the graduation of Evan Royster, the program’s all-time leading rusher, the Nittany Lions will field one of the deepest backfields in the Big Ten. Sophomore Silas Redd and senior Stephfon Green are poised to see the bulk of the carries at the tailback position. Redd emerged as the primary backup for Royster in the second half of last season. The sophomore, who tallied 437 yards and two scores as a freshman, brings superb athleticism and a downhill running style to the field.

Green finished third on the squad in rushing last season. With great speed in the open field, Green also is a dangerous receiver out of the backfield. Senior Joe Suhey and junior Michael Zordich emerged as consistent runners, receivers and blockers at the fullback position in 2010. Both players will be big contributors for the offense in the fall. Penn State will welcome the return of senior Brandon Beachum to the corps of backs after being sidelined in 2010 with a knee injury. Sophomore tailback Curtis Dukes also could emerge as a bigger contributor.

Sophomore tailback Silas Redd finished second on the team with 437 rushing yards in 2010, averaging 5.7 yards per carry.

5

Two Starters Back On D-Line The Nittany Lions return seven lettermen to the defensive line. The deep pool of talent includes two upperclass starters. Senior Jack Crawford, who battled a foot injury in 2010. Crawford has started 19 games over the past two seasons and again will play a central role in the Nittany Lion pass rush. The end finished with 4.5 tackles for a loss in 2010.

Pete Massaro emerged as a big-play down lineman last year, with 37 tackles, 8.0 TFL and 3.5 sacks. A starter in the final 11 games of the season, Massaro suffered a torn ACL during spring practice and will miss the 2011 season. Senior Eric Latimore, who returns from a wrist injury, and junior Sean Stanley also should play a significant role in the rotation at end.

Moving to the interior, senior Devon Still will be the focal point of the defensive line. A starter in 12 games last year, Still finished the season as the team’s leader in TFL (10.0) and sacks (4.0), and recorded a careerhigh 3.5 TFL against Florida in the Outback Bowl. Junior Jordan Hill, sophomore DaQuan Jones and junior James Terry are among the leading candidates for a starting tackle assignment, as well. Hill started four games last season.

Linebacker Unit Features Seven Returning Lettermen A number of key injuries in 2010 opened the door for several talented linebackers to see playing time alongside Chris Colasanti last fall. Senior Nate Stupar is the top returning tackler from the unit. The State College product started seven games, finishing third on the squad with 73 hits.

Junior Michael Mauti is back to full strength after battling injuries in 2010 and is poised for a strong season. A starter in seven games, Mauti finished fifth on the

Senior defensive tackle Devon Still led the team in tackles for loss (10.0) and sacks (4.0), while starting 12 games in 2010. He will anchor a defensive line that returns three starters and eight lettermen.

team with 67 hits. Sophomores Gerald Hodges and Khairi Fortt will battle for significant time in the rotation.

Juniors Jamie Van Fleet and Michael Yancich and sophomore Glenn Carson return to the linebacker position with playing experience. The battle for playing time at linebacker will be fierce leading up to fall camp.

RECORD WHEN

Senior cornerback D’Anton Lynn anchors a secondary that returns three starters. Lynn finished second on the team with 74 tackles in 2010 and grabbed three interceptions to tie for the team lead.

Secondary Returns Three Starters

Fera Returns To Special Teams Unit

The most experienced group on the 2011 Penn State depth chart will be the secondary. With six players returning with starting experience, the Nittany Lions will field a veteran secondary in the fall. Senior safety Drew Astorino (26 starts) is the most experienced returning player on the roster. Astorino was fourth on the squad with 70 tackles last year.

Senior Nick Sukay returns after a pectoral injury sidelined him for the final seven games of 2010. He tallied 29 stops and tied for the team lead with three interceptions last season. Hard-hitting sophomore Malcolm Willis, who started the final six games at free safety, played a central role in the secondary after Sukay was sidelined. He finished sixth on the team in tackles with 54 stops.

Senior D’Anton Lynn will anchor the cornerback spot. Over the last two seasons, Lynn has evolved into a consistent lock-down defensive back. A superb player in coverage, Lynn finished second on the team with 75 tackles in 2010. The Texas native also grabbed three interceptions to tie for team-high honors. Senior Chaz Powell and junior Stephon Morris also will challenge for significant playing time at the other corner spot.

The leading candidate to replace Collin Wagner as the Nittany Lions’ placekicker in 2011 will be sophomore Anthony Fera. The Texas native averaged 41.4 yards per punt last season and was selected a second-team Freshman All-American by Rivals.com. Fera was instrumental in pinning opponents deep in their own territory with 19 touchbacks. Sophomore Alex Butterworth saw action at punter over the final three games and could emerge as the top candidate if Fera’s primary focus is placekicking.

Chaz Powell (21 KOR, 24.0 average, 1 TD) and Stephfon Green (17 KOR, 19.8 avg.) have been productive on kickoff returns for the past two seasons. Justin Brown and Devon Smith are experienced and productive punt returners, with Smith ranking second in the Big Ten with a 12.9 average on 12 returns last year.

QUINN BARHAM 6-3, 302 Sr./Sr. Tackle Durham, N.C. Quinn Barham started every game at left tackle last year, joining 2010 seniors Doug Klopacz and Stefen Wisniewski as offensive line starters in all 13 contests. He was on the field for 917 plays, the third-highest total last season and second-highest among 2011 returnees.

Barham was instrumental in Penn State allowing only 12 sacks all season, tied for No. 2 in the Big Ten and No. 13 in the nation for fewest sacks allowed. He played a critical role in helping the Nittany Lions gain 350 or more yards nine times last year, topped by 528 yards in the 35-21 comeback win over Northwestern. The Lions ran for a season-high 260 yards against the Wildcats, with two 100yard rushers, and threw for 268 yards. Barham helped Penn State gain 496 yards against Indiana and 435 yards against Michigan, scoring 41 points in both wins. He was on the field for a season-high 90 snaps in the win over Northwestern. Barham is on schedule to graduate in May.

Kyle Baublitz brings very good size and skills to the defensive line. He has made steady strides during his redshirt year and is anxious for spring drills and a chance to enhance his playing opportunities this fall.

The physical Baublitz was a standout defensive end and tight end at Central York HS, earning all-state honors.

He was rated the No. 31 defensive end by Scout.com and also was a highly rated tight end, with Rivals.com listing him at No. 8. As a senior, Baublitz made 123 tackles and caught 15 passes for 123 yards. His father, Steven, played and coached college basketball at Penn State York.

ROB BOLDEN 6-3, 211 So./So. Quarterback Orchard Lake, Mich.

Rob Bolden set Penn State history four months after arriving on campus when he became the first true freshman quarterback to start a season-opener under Coach Joe Paterno. Turns out that Bolden was the first true freshman Nittany Lion starter at quarterback in 100 years — since Shorty Miller in 1910. He also was Penn State’s first true freshman starting quarterback overall since Wally Richardson got the nod against Temple in 1992. One of seven true freshmen to play in 2010, the former Orchard Lake St. Mary’s Prep standout started eight games last season. The multi-talented, athletic and poised Bolden is looking forward to resuming the quarterback competition in spring practice. Bolden threw Penn State’s longest completion of the 2010 season, an 80-yard scoring strike to Derek Moye against Illinois. He was 112-of-193 (58.0) for 1,360 yards, with five touchdowns and seven interceptions last year. He had four 200-yard passing efforts in the initial five games. In the historic season-opening win over Youngstown State, Bolden was 20-of-29 for 239 yards, with two touchdowns and an interception in the 44-14 victory, the best performance by a true freshman quarterback in school history. He tossed 22- and 20-yard TD strikes to Brett Brackett and shared Big Ten Freshman-of-the-Week honors. In his first career road game, he threw for 144 yards in a 24-3 loss to No. 1 Alabama. He completed a 31yard pass to Derek Moye in the first quarter against the Crimson Tide. Bolden became the first Penn State true freshman quarterback to have multiple 200-yard passing games in the 24-0 win over Kent State. He was 17-of-27 for 217 yards, with one TD and two interceptions, including a 55-yard strike to Moye. Bolden also gained 33 yards on just four carries, including a one-yard touchdown run and a 17-yard rush against the Golden Flashes. Bolden also threw a 48-yard scoring strike to Devon Smith. Bolden delivered his third 200-yard passing effort in the 22-13 win over previously unbeaten Temple. He was 18-of-28 for 223 yards, with no touchdowns or interceptions and directed the Lions to 439 yards. He led the team on a 96-yard drive in the fourth quarter, culminated by a Michael Zordich touchdown with 3:25 to play for the final margin. The scoring drive was the Lions’ longest since a 96-yard drive against Indiana in 2003. Bolden recorded his fourth 200yard passing game in the first five contests, going 20-of-37 for 212 yards, with no touchdowns and one interception at Iowa. He completed a 49-yard pass to Brackett to set up a field goal just before halftime. Against Illinois, Bolden threw an 80-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter to Moye, Penn State’s longest play from scrimmage since the 2008 Michigan game. Bolden was sizzling to start the contest at Minnesota, completing his first nine passes for 115 yards, including a 21-yard scoring strike to Brackett just 4:41 into the game. But, in the second quarter, after directing Penn State to a 14-7 lead, Bolden was injured and did not return, going 11-of-13 for 130 yards, with one touchdown and no interceptions. He did not see action against Michigan, one week after being injured at Minnesota.

Bolden started the Northwestern game and was 3-of-4 for 43 yards, including a 20-yard completion to Stephfon Green and a 19-yard toss to Evan Royster. He played in the first two series. Bolden entered the Ohio State game in the fourth quarter and was 0-of-3. He entered the Indiana

game in the fourth quarter and was 2-of-2 for 10 yards.

Bolden was on the field for 407 plays last year, topped by 74 in the win over Temple. He was a four-star recruit out of St. Mary’s Prep. He was ranked as the fourth-best quarterback in the nation by ESPN.com and the second-best dual-threat quarterback by Rivals.com. He completed 72of-152 passes for 1,013 yards and seven touchdowns while running for 535 yards and nine scores in his senior season, in which he led St. Mary’s to the state finals. He totaled more than 2,000 yards passing and 14 touchdowns, while rushing for over 1,000 yards and 16 scores in his final two seasons. Bolden was a three-year member of the basketball team and a four-year member of the track team. His great uncle is former Alabama All-America cornerback Don McNeal, an NFL first-round draft choice in 1980, who played 10 seasons for the Miami Dolphins.

JUSTIN BROWN 6-3, 214 Jr./Jr. Wide Receiver Wilmington, Del. The 2010 campaign was a breakout season for wide receiver Justin Brown, as he started eight games and played in every contest. Brown was third on the team with 33 receptions for 452 yards (13.7) and one score. He made three receptions for 35 yards against Youngstown State, with a long of 23 yards and made one catch for 20 yards at No. 1 Alabama. In his first career start, he made one grab for nine yards against Kent State. Brown set then-career-bests with four catches for 84 yards in the win over Temple. He made a career-long 33-yard grab and also had a huge 27-yard catch on third down to keep the Lions’ 96-yard touchdown drive alive in the fourth quarter against the Owls.

He made four catches, good for 42 yards, in the Big Ten-opener at Iowa and made two catches for 14 yards in the win at Minnesota. Brown had a big 15-yard catch for a first down in the fourth quarter of the victory over Michigan. The drive ended with a Collin Wagner field goal for a 10-point lead with 5:43 to play. Brown had a strong game at Ohio State, catching a then-career-high five passes for 64 yards, including his first career touch-

5-10, 199 So./So. Punter Indianapolis, Ind. Alex Butterworth was pressed into duty for the final three games of the 2010 season after punter Anthony Fera underwent an appendectomy three days prior to the Indiana game. One of seven true freshmen to play last year, Butterworth punted 12 times for a 38.1 average, with three kicks inside the 20 and three fair catches. He made his Penn State debut in the win over the Hoosiers, punting twice for a 41.0-yard average, with one punt downed inside the Indiana 15-yard line. He punted six times for a 34.5 average against Michigan State, with one kick landing inside the 20. Butterworth punted four times for a 42.0 average against Florida in the Outback Bowl, with a season-best 50-yard effort.

Butterworth was a first-team Indianapolis all-city kicker as a sophomore, junior and senior. He went 7-of-10 on field goal attempts as a senior, with no misses under 50 yards. His long was a 52-yard kick. He also averaged 65.5 yards per kickoff and 38.3 yards per punt, with a long of 64 yards. The Associated Press first-team allstate kicker for Heritage Christian HS was named the Indianapolis Star Mr. Football Kicking Specialist for Indiana in 2009. Butterworth also played basketball (three seasons) and was a member of the track team for two seasons. An uncle, John McKenzie, played football at Purdue from 1980-84.

NATE CADOGAN

JACK CRAWFORD

Nate Cadogan began the 2010 season at offensive tackle, but was shifted to tight end during the bye week in mid-October. With the start of spring practice, Cadogan returned to the offensive line, looking to make a push for playing time. He played in four games last season, making one catch for three yards and a touchdown. He made his first career appearance in the win over Michigan. Cadogan caught his first career pass, a three-yard reception for a touchdown in the third quarter, to help fuel the Nittany Lions’ 21-point rally against Northwestern. He also saw action against Ohio State and Indiana.

GLENN CARSON 6-3, 240 So./Fr. Linebacker Manahawkin, N.J. In his first season on the field, Glenn Carson was shifted from linebacker to fullback just prior to 2010 preseason practice. He returned to linebacker after the Kent State game and was one of seven true freshmen to play last year, seeing action in every game. Carson made 12 tackles, with 0.5 tackles for loss, last season. He recorded a season-high five hits against Illinois. He also made one stop at Minnesota, including a 0.5 TFL, one tackle at Ohio State and one hit against Michigan State.

Carson recorded three solo stops against Florida in the Outback Bowl. A linebacker at Southern Regional HS, Carson led his team to its first South Jersey Group IV title game. During his senior season under coach Charles Donohue Sr., Carson was named first-team allstate, Ocean County Player-of-the-Year, first-team AllSouth Jersey, and first-team all-league. The four-star prospect tallied 98 tackles his final year and holds the school record for career tackles. Carson also wrestled for four seasons in high school and was a three-time state finalist. Carson was on the field for 152 snaps last year, led by 24 at Iowa and 22 against Florida in the Outback Bowl. He entered the spring semester with a 3.31 grade-point average and is a potential Academic All-Big Ten candidate.

With the departure of co-captain and defensive tackle Ollie Ogbu, defensive end Jack Crawford will join defensive tackle Devon Still as seniors expected to provide leadership and productivity for the defensive line. A mid-season foot injury slowed Crawford last year and he underwent surgery in January. He is expected to be 100 percent prior to the start of preseason practice.

Crawford has 20 starts the past two seasons, including seven last year. Playing in 10 games, Crawford made 14 tackles, with 4.5 TFL and two sacks last season. He made three tackles against Youngstown State, including a minus-yardage hit for three yards, and had two stops at No. 1 Alabama. He made three hits in the 24-0 win over Kent State, including 1.5 TFL, with a sack for minus-seven yards. Crawford missed the Illinois, Minnesota and Michigan games with a foot injury. He returned in the comeback win over Northwestern, making one tackle, and recorded a sack at Ohio State.

Crawford returned to the starting lineup in the victory over Indiana. He made two stops, with 0.5 TFL for minus-three yards against Michigan State. He played on 395 snaps last year, topped by 70 against Florida in the Outback Bowl.

Crawford’s 2009 Game-by-Game

There are only so many carries that can be divided amongst the talented and deep stable of Nittany Lion running backs, so Derek Day has made the most of his opportunity to be a contributor on special teams. Playing in every game last year, Day was consistently productive, recording nine tackles (eight solo). He also is a valuable member of the foreign team. Day made a career-high three solo tackles in the 41-31 win over Michigan. He made two solo stops against Florida in the Outback Bowl and had one hit in four additional contests.

MILES DIEFFENBACH 6-3, 291 So./Fr. Center Pittsburgh, Pa. Miles Dieffenbach should be among the primary challengers for playing time at center, a position manned in 2010 by senior Doug Klopacz. Dieffenbach has good size and skills and has made steady progress during his redshirt season. He brought a 3.57 gradepoint average into the spring semester and is a potential Academic All-Big Ten candidate. Dieffenbach was an ESPNU No. 1 center prospect at Fox Chapel Area HS.

6-1, 246 Jr./So. Tailback Evans Mills, N.Y. The competition for primary ball-carrying duties should be intense this spring, with Curtis Dukes amongst the main challengers. A strong and physical runner, Dukes made the most of his two carries last season, gaining 11 yards on a burst in the win over Indiana.

He also had a five-yard carry against Youngstown State.

MIKE FARRELL 6-6, 303 Sr./Jr. Tackle Pittsburgh, Pa. Mike Farrell will be among the players with an opportunity to earn significant playing time on the offensive line this season. Farrell was No. 2 on the depth chart at left tackle last season, but against Indiana, was called on to start the game at right tackle. In his first career start, he saw action on 85 snaps in the 41-24 win, helping the Nittany Lions gain 496 yards and record 24 first downs in the victory at FedEx Field. Farrell was

elected president of Penn State’s Uplifting Athletes chapter and will coordinate the football team’s Penn State Lift for Life, which has raised nearly $500,000 for the Kidney Cancer Association since 2003. Farrell earned Academic All-Big Ten honors last fall. He carried a 3.37 grade-point average into the spring semester and is a potential CoSIDA Academic All-America candidate.

6-2, 215 Jr./So. Placekicker/Punter Cypress, Texas In his first season as Penn State’s punter, Anthony Fera was selected a 2010 second-team Rivals.com Freshman All-American. During the Blue-White game last April, it was uncertain who would replace All-Big Ten punter Jeremy Boone. Wide receiver Graham Zug was among the players taking punt snaps, having punted in high school. A highly-recruited placekicker from Texas, Fera eventually won the job and had a strong season.

He started the first 10 games, including handling kickoff duties, but on Nov. 17 had an emergency appendectomy. He missed the last two regular-season games, but returned against Florida in the Outback Bowl. Among Fera’s 46 punts last year, 13 landed inside the 20-yard line, 19 were fair catches, and nine were booted 50 yards or more. For the season, Fera averaged 41.4 yards, with only one touchback. In the fourth quarter at Iowa, Fera launched a 74-yard punt, the fourth-longest punt in Penn State history, and the team’s longest since 2004. He averaged 44 yards on six punts against Illinois, including a boot of 53 yards, which the Illinois returner fumbled at the nine-yard line. A sliding Michael Zordich recovered the fumble, which set up a field goal.

Fera averaged just over 45 yards per punt at Minnesota, including a 61-yard blast. Four of his six punts against the Golden Gophers were downed inside the 20-yard line. Fera knocked two punts inside the 20 against Northwestern, including one that landed at the Wildcats’ seven-yard line in the fourth quarter. At Ohio State, he averaged 44.2 yards on six punts, with a long of 54 yards and one punt downed at the Buckeye 4. Fera missed the Indiana and Michigan State games due to an appendectomy. He returned against Florida in the Outback Bowl, punting three times for a 38.7 average with a long of 52 yards. With the graduation of placekicker Collin Wagner, Fera also could see some time at kicker this spring.

PAUL JONES 6-3, 245 So./Fr. Quarterback McKees Rocks, Pa. Western Pennsylvania prep standout quarterback Paul Jones was one of five future Nittany Lions selected to play in the 2010 U.S. Army All-American Bowl. Within days after the early January all-star contest, Jones enrolled in classes at Penn State and has made significant strides during his first year. He spent last fall gaining experience in practice and helping the defense in its preparations as the foreign team’s primary quarterback.

Entering his second spring practice session and with a redshirt year under his belt, the multi-talented, strong and athletic Jones is looking forward to challenging for substantial playing time this fall. Scout.com rated Jones the No. 2 prep quarterback in the nation, playing for Coach Jason Ruscitto at Sto-Rox HS. Rivals.com listed him as the nation’s No. 8 prep signal-caller. He was a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Fabulous 22 member and AllWPIAL. Despite missing part of his senior season with an injury, Jones completed 112-of-215 passes for 1,667 yards and 16 touchdowns, leading the Class AA Vikings to a 7-2 record. In his junior year, he threw for 2,020 yards and 24 scores. During his standout career, he passed for 5,667 yards and 60 touchdowns. Jones also was captain of the basketball and baseball teams at Sto-Rox.

DAQUAN JONES 6-3, 316 So./So. Defensive Line Johnson City, N.Y. DaQuan Jones played in the final nine games last season, making very good strides and adding depth along the defensive line.

ALEX KENNEY 6-0, 192 So./Fr. Cornerback State College, Pa. Another member of Penn State’s dynamic 2010 recruiting class ready to make an impact this fall is cornerback Alex Kenney. A SuperPrep All-American, Kenney spent his redshirt season as a wide receiver on the foreign team, but was shifted to the secondary prior to spring drills. With seniors D’Anton Lynn and Chaz Powell and junior Stephon Morris seeing most of the playing time last year, opportunities will abound for Kenney to gain immediate experience by working his way into the rotation. His speed, athleticism and instincts also could provide opportunities for him to have an impact on special teams.This past winter, Kenney was a sprinter on Penn State’s indoor track and field team. His best performance in the 60 meters was a team-best :06.96 at the Big Ten Indoor Championships and his top 200 time was :22.08 at the Sykes-Sabock Challenge Cup.

CHRISTIAN KUNTZ 6-4, 197 Jr./So. Wide Receiver Camp Hill, Pa. Having taken a redshirt season as a freshman in 2009, Christian Kuntz’s first season on the field was greatly impacted by two injuries. Kuntz suffered a preseason knee injury that knocked him out of the initial five games of the 2010 campaign. After rehabilitating the injury and returning to form in practice, he saw action in the win over Michigan. But, in practice prior to the Ohio State game, Kuntz suffered a broken collarbone that ended his season. He should be available for limited duty in spring drills. Kuntz has good skills and size and is anxious for spring practice and an opportunity to work his way into the wideout rotation.

56

ERIC LATIMORE 6-6, 278 Sr./Sr. Defensive End Middletown, Del. Eric Latimore played in the initial five games, with three starts, during the 2010 season. But, on the first play against Illinois, he suffered a broken wrist, which required surgery and ended his season. He made six tackles, with 2.5 tackles for loss, for the season.

Latimore recorded two solo tackles against Kent State, including one minus-yardage hit, and posted solo tackles against Temple and Iowa. He should be available for spring practice and will be a strong challenger for a starting assignment at defensive end. He saw action on 157 snaps during the first five games, led by 43 at Alabama, before suffering the wrist injury. Latimore is on schedule to graduate in May.

EVAN LEWIS 5-10, 181 Sr./Jr. Wide Receiver Gettysburg, Pa. The hard work and improvement of wide receiver Evan Lewis gave him the opportunity to play in the Nittany Lions’ wins over Youngstown State and Kent State last season. But, like numerous other teammates, his most significant contributions to the success of the team came on the practice field as a member of the foreign team. During preparations for last year’s primetime meeting with Michigan, the coaching staff asked the quick and athletic Lewis to portray Wolverines’ quarterback Denard Robinson, dreadlocks included. Robinson had a big game on the ground, but thanks to Lewis’ efforts in practice, the Penn State defense limited Robinson to 11-of-23 passing and one touchdown, as the Nittany Lions captured a 41-31 win. Lewis brought a 3.39 grade-point average into the spring semester and is a potential Academic All-Big Ten candidate. Lewis was a three-year starting quarterback under Coach Sam Leedy at Gettysburg HS. He was the 2007 Associated Press PIAA Class AAA Player-of-the-Year and received AP Class AAA and Mid-Penn Conference quarterback accolades. His senior year, he threw for 2,765 yards and 31 touchdowns and led his squad to the 2007 Keystone Division championship. Lewis and Nittany Lion defensive end Brian Irvin were teammates at Gettysburg.

He made a career-high 10 tackles (six solo) in the win at Minnesota and made the defensive play of the game with an end zone interception and 58-yard return. On the next play, Matt McGloin fired a 42-yard TD pass to Derek Moye for a 21-7 lead. Lynn also had 0.5 TFL and a pass breakup against the Gophers. He made five hits (four solo) and two pass breakups in the win over Michigan and four stops with 0.5 TFL in the comeback win over Northwestern.

MICHAEL MAUTI 6-2, 234 Sr./Jr. Linebacker Mandeville, La. Michael Mauti is looking forward to the 2011 campaign after missing all or parts of four games last season due to injuries. Having missed the 2009 season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament, Mauti was slowed by ankle and shoulder injuries last fall. Despite the nagging injuries, he was highly productive, finishing fifth on the team with 67 tackles. Starting seven games and playing in 11, he recorded 5.5 tackles for loss (minus18), with two sacks and a pass breakup. He rewrote his career-high in tackles three times last season. Mauti was selected Big Ten Co-Defensive Player-of-the-Week for his performance against Northwestern, after making a career-high 11 tackles and 3.0 TFL in the historic comeback win. In his first game since the 2009 Rose Bowl, Mauti made five tackles against Youngstown State. He had six hits at No. 1 Alabama in his first career start.

MATT McGLOIN 6-1, 209 Sr./Jr. Quarterback Scranton, Pa. Matt McGloin started five of the last six games at quarterback and sparked the Nittany Lions’ second-half surge in 2010. He became the first quarterback in Penn State history with consecutive 300-yard passing games (315 vs. Indiana and 312 vs. Michigan State). McGloin is the third signal-caller in Penn State annals with multiple 300-yard games, joining Kerry Collins (4) and Daryll Clark (3). The talented, hard-working and enthusiastic McGloin threw for at least 200 yards in five of the last six games, good for a tie for 10th on the school season 200-yard list. For the season, he was 118-of-215 (54.9) for 1,548 yards, with 14 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He also ran for two touchdowns. The competitive and confident McGloin entered the critical road game at Minnesota in the second quarter when Rob Bolden was injured. McGloin’s first career completion was a memorable one, as he found Derek Moye in stride on a 42-

yard scoring strike on the first play after a D’Anton Lynn end zone interception and 58-yard return. Early in the fourth quarter in Minneapolis, McGloin lofted the ball into the end zone and Moye made a superlative catch, giving the Nittany Lions a 31-14 lead with 10:36 to play.

McGloin was 6-of-13 for 76 yards, with two touchdowns and one interception in the win over the Golden Gophers. He made his first career start and directed the Nittany Lions to a thrilling 41-31 win over Michigan, becoming the first former walk-on quarterback to start under Joe Paterno. McGloin set then-career-highs in attempts (28), completions (17) and yards (250). He led Penn State to 27 first downs, 37:29 in time of possession and 10-of-16 on third down conversions. McGloin also led the Nittany Lions to 435 yards, and helped Penn State not commit a turnover for the first time during the season. McGloin led Penn State to scores on 7of-9 possessions (5 TD, 2 FG) prior to the last possession of the game (took a knee at the Michigan 2 in the final seconds). McGloin’s first six completions went to six different receivers and eight Lions made catches overall against the Wolverines. He was 8-of-10 on third down for 108 yards, converting six completions into first downs, including a 20-yard TD pass to Graham Zug. McGloin was named Big Ten Player-of-the-Week by Rivals.com after leading Penn State’s rally from a 21-0 deficit to an historic 35-21 win over Northwestern. Down 21-0 late in the second quarter and on their own nineyard line, McGloin led the Nittany Lions 91 yards in 47 seconds to begin the rally and ignite the Beaver Stadium faithful. Penn State out-scored the Wildcats 280 in the second half, rolling to a season-high 528 yards, gaining 268 passing yards and 260 on the ground.

McGloin set career-highs with four touchdown passes, on 18 completions and 29 attempts, to play a large role in Paterno’s 400th career win. He was 13-of-18 for 141 yards in the first half at Ohio State, throwing TD passes to Justin Brown (23 yards) and Moye (6 yards) for a 143 halftime lead. He finished 15-of-30 for 159 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions. McGloin had his best career performance in leading Penn State to 496 yards and 36:59 in time of possession in a 41-24 win over Indiana. McGloin threw for a career-high 315 yards, also breaking his career-bests with 22 completions and 31 attempts, good for two touchdowns. His 315 yards were the most by a Nittany Lion since Daryll Clark threw for 353 yards in the 2009 season-opener with Akron. The 315 yards passing were tied for the 10th-best mark in Penn State annals with Chuck Fusina, who had 315 yards at North Carolina State in 1977.

McGloin directed the Lions on scoring drives of 87 and 99 yards to open the game for a 14-0 lead. He hit Brackett on a 3-yard touchdown pass on the first play of the second quarter and Moye on a 21-yard scoring strike for a 24-17 lead in the third period. McGloin connected with Devon Smith on a 45-yard play for his longest career completion. McGloin became the first Nittany Lion to throw for 300 yards in consecutive games against No. 10 Michigan State. He re-set his career-highs by going 23-of-43, with two scoring strikes and one interception. McGloin threw for 312 yards, the 12th-best mark at Penn State, and just three yards off his career-best 315 a week earlier. McGloin joined Kerry Collins (four) and Daryll Clark (three) as the only three Penn State quarterbacks to have at least two 300-yard passing games in a career. He threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Joe Suhey and a four-yard dart to Moye, leading the Lions to 19 fourth-quarter points. Making his fifth career start, McGloin was 17-of-41 for 211 yards against Florida in the Outback Bowl, throwing a touchdown pass to Moye for a 7-0 lead. He scored on a two-

yard run late in the third quarter to give Penn State a 2417 lead. He was intercepted five times, a school record, in the 37-24 loss to the Gators. McGloin was on the field for 458 snaps, topped by 82 plays against Florida.

McGloin and Nittany Lion tackle Eric Shrive were prep teammates at West Scranton High School.

A 2011 All-America candidate, Moye had a superb junior season that saw him lead the Nittany Lions with 53 receptions for 885 yards and eight touchdowns. Moye made at least one touchdown catch in seven of the last eight games, including the final five contests. He was second in the Big Ten with a 16.7 yards per catch average, was fifth in the conference in receiving yardage (68.1 ypg) and tied for ninth in receptions. Moye also moved up among the Penn State career leaders with 104 receptions (11th), 1,741 receiving yards (11th) and 15 touchdown receptions (5th tie). The former Rochester HS standout needs 22 catches and 266 yards to move into the Top 5 on both lists. Moye’s 53 receptions and 885 yards were good for fifth- and sixth-best, respectively, on the school season list. A 2010 honorable-mention All-Big Ten selection, Moye gained a game-high 69 yards on his three catches at No. 1 Alabama, including a 31-yard first-quarter pass from Rob Bolden. He made four catches for a season-high 87 yards in the win over Kent State. His 55-yard catch in the first quarter was a career-long at the time and led to a touchdown in the 24-0 win. He caught four passes for 27 yards at Iowa.

Moye posted his fourth career 100-yard receiving game against Illinois, making three catches for 106 yards and one touchdown. His 80-yard catch and run in the second quarter was a career-long and the Nittany Lions’ longest play from scrimmage since Stephfon Green had an 80-yard TD catch against Michigan in 2008. In his three-reception, 81-yard performance at Minnesota, he caught touchdown passes of 42 and nine yards from Matt McGloin. Moye caught three passes for a gamehigh 72 yards in the win over Michigan. His 40-yard catch and run from McGloin converted a key third down, keeping an early third-quarter drive alive. He had five receptions for 85 yards and one touchdown, a 36-yard scoring connection with McGloin in the third quarter, in the comeback victory over Northwestern. Moye caught four passes for 36 yards against Ohio State, including a six-yard touchdown connection with McGloin in the second quarter. He had a team-high six receptions for 90 yards and one touchdown in the Indiana game. Moye had his first two carries of the season, totaling 38 yards, including a 27-yard reverse, against the Hoosiers.

Against Michigan State, he caught five passes for 65 yards and one touchdown, a four-yard scoring toss from McGloin late in the game. He also forced and recovered the first fumble of his career in the fourth quarter. Moye made a game-high five catches for 79 yards and a touchdown against Florida in the Outback Bowl, giving him at least one TD catch in each of the last five games.

He made a five-yard touchdown catch for a 7-0 lead and hauled in a 44-yard catch to set up a go-ahead touchdown late in the third period. Moye was on the field for 714 snaps last year, topped by 71 in the comeback win over Northwestern. He is on schedule to graduate in December.

CHIMA OKOLI

Shifted from defensive tackle to the offensive line during 2010 spring practice, Chima Okoli was thrust into the starting lineup at right tackle when Lou Eliades suffered a season-ending knee injury against Temple.

Okoli started eight of the last nine games and was instrumental in Penn State allowing only 12 sacks all season, tied for No. 2 in the Big Ten and No. 13 in the nation for fewest sacks allowed. He played a critical role in helping the Nittany Lions gain 350 or more yards nine times last season, topped by 528 yards in the 35-21 comeback win over Northwestern. The Nittany Lions ran for a season-high 260 yards against the Wildcats, with two 100-yard rushers, and threw for 268 yards.

C.J. OLANIYAN 6-3, 245 So./Fr. Defensive End Warren, Mich.

With Jack Crawford and Eric Latimore entering their senior seasons, the Nittany Lions are blessed to have C.J. Olaniyan among a trio of promising defensive ends who redshirted last year as freshmen. Olaniyan possesses good size, athleticism and instincts and has made significant progress during his first year at Penn State. He should be among the top challengers for time in the defensive end rotation this fall. Olaniyan was rated the No. 14 weakside defensive end and a four-star prospect by Rivals.com out of Warren Mott HS. He recorded 71 tackles and 13.5 sacks along with an interception during his senior season. As a receiver, he had 17 catches for 205 yards and a touchdown. He joined Rob Bolden as Nittany Lions in the Class of 2010 from Michigan.

DeON’TAE PANNELL

The talented and versatile DeOn’tae Pannell will have an opportunity to play a significant role on the offensive line this fall. Pannell started the first two contests at left guard in 2010 and has extensive experience at guard and tackle. Pannell helped Penn State allow only 12 sacks all season, tied for No. 2 in the Big Ten and No. 13 in the nation for fewest sacks allowed. He played an important role in helping the Nittany Lions gain 350 or more yards nine times last season, topped by 528 yards in the 35-21 comeback win over Northwestern. The Lions ran for a season-high 260 yards against the Wildcats, with two 100-yard rushers, and threw for 268 yards.

CHAZ POWELL

Chaz Powell was shifted from wide receiver to cornerback during the midst of the 2010 season and was a major contributor on defense and special teams. He started four games on defense last year and made 11 tackles (eight solo), tying Drew Astorino for the team lead with five pass breakups. Powell led the team with 21 kickoff returns for a 24.0 average. He returned the second-half kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown against Youngstown State.

The return for a touchdown was Penn State’s first since Derrick Williams took a kick back 94 yards for a score against Illinois in 2008. He made two catches for nine yards at No. 1 Alabama and had two kickoff returns for 47 yards at Iowa. Powell gained 82 kickoff return yards on three returns against Illinois, with a long return of 31 yards.

6-0, 223 Sr./Sr. Kick Snapper Ellicott City, Md.

One of the primary positions where a highly-productive veteran Nittany Lion must be replaced is tailback, as all-time leading rusher Evan Royster has graduated. Sophomore Silas Redd will join senior Stephfon Green as the squad’s most experienced returning running backs and they should wage a very competitive battle for primary ball-carrying duties. Redd first demonstrated his explosive speed in the 2010 Blue-White game and made significant strides during his true freshman season. He gained 437 rushing yards, second on the team, and scored two touchdowns. He compiled a 5.7-yard average on 77 attempts, best on the team among players with at least five carries. Playing in 12 games, he also had seven kickoff returns for a 21.0 average and caught four passes. One of five future Nittany Lions to play in the 2010 U.S. Army All-American Bowl, Redd was among seven true freshmen to play last year. Redd opened his rookie campaign by gaining 20 yards on three carries against Youngstown State. He gained 26 yards on five carries at top-ranked Alabama, including an 11-yard burst in the second half. He provided a boost for the Nittany Lions at Minnesota, gaining 70 of his 71 yards in the second half, on eight carries. Redd ripped off back-to-back 26 and 20-yard fourth-quarter bursts to set up a touchdown. He was part of a potent Penn State rushing attack against Michigan, running for 24 yards on six carries. Redd recorded his first career 100-yard rushing game with 131 yards on 11 carries (11.9) in the 35-21 comeback win over Northwestern. He also had a career-high 30yard run and he scored his first career touchdown on a four-yard dash to give Penn State a 28-21 lead after trailing, 21-0. Evan Royster’s 134 yards and Redd’s 131 yards against the Wildcats gave Penn State consecutive years with a game featuring a pair of 100-yard rushers. In the 2009 game at Illinois, Stephon Green (120) and Royster (105) cracked the century mark. Redd and Royster also were the first Penn State running backs to each gain at least 130 rushing yards in a game since standouts Lydell Mitchell (211) and Franco Harris (145) did so at Iowa on Sept. 25, 1971. The combined effort

by Royster and Redd marked just the fourth time Penn State had two runners gain 130 or more yards in a game. At Ohio State, Redd gained 39 yards on the ground, including an 18-yard burst in the first half. He led the Nittany Lions in rushing yards against Indiana at FedEx Field, gaining 50 yards and scoring a one-yard touchdown that gave the Nittany Lions a 41-24 lead. He made one catch for 16 yards and gained 13 yards on the ground against Florida in the Outback Bowl. Redd saw action on 177 snaps last year, topped by 26 against Florida in the Outback Bowl.

He ranked fifth on the squad in minus-yardage plays.

Stupar’s 1.5 tackles for loss against Youngstown State were a career-high and included a sack for minus-eight yards. He made four hits at No. 1 Alabama. In the 24-0 win over Kent State, he had three stops. Stupar delivered the play of the game in the win over previously unbeaten Temple. He grabbed the second interception of his career in the third quarter, returning it 31 yards to the Temple 12 to set up Collin Wagner’s go-ahead field goal. Stupar made a team-high tying seven tackles, with five in the second half, and recorded a sack against the Owls. He had five tackles, including one for a loss of four yards, at Iowa.

Stupar made a then-season-high nine tackles, including one for a loss, and had one pass breakup against Illinois.

He made six stops in the win at Minnesota. Against Michigan, he had three solo tackles and broke up a pass, nearly intercepting it. He made five tackles in the comeback win over Northwestern. Stupar led the linebacking corps with five solo tackles (7 total) at Ohio State. He had an active day against Indiana, registering a team-high 10 tackles (6 solos), the second-highest total of his career.

He made a game-high tying 10 hits against Michigan State for his second consecutive double-figure tackle game and the third of his career. Stupar also forced his first career fumble, stripping Spartan running back Edwin Baker in the fourth quarter. He saw action on 619 snaps last season, topped by 78 against Illinois. Stupar brought a 3.63 grade-point average into the spring semester and should be a strong candidate for CoSIDA Academic AllAmerica recognition. He earned Academic All-Big Ten honors last year for the third time and is on schedule to graduate in May.

MALLOY HEAD FOOTBALL COACH

JOE PATERNO

A career marked with distinction, glorious accomplishments and immeasurable contributions to The Pennsylvania State University, added another compelling and thrilling chapter during the 2010 campaign.

Head coach of the Nittany Lions since 1966, Joe Paterno saw his resurgent and determined squad erase a 21-0 deficit to score touchdowns on five consecutive possessions and beat Northwestern, 35-21, on Nov. 6, 2010. The victory was No. 400 in Paterno’s career as he became the first Football Bowl Subdivision coach to reach the milestone.

The 100,000-plus fans in Beaver Stadium reveled as the Hall of Fame coach was honored in a post-game on-field ceremony. Not only had they witnessed win No. 400, but also the greatest Nittany Lion comeback at home in Paterno’s 278th game coaching in Beaver Stadium. The rally from 21 points down also tied the greatest comeback under the legendary mentor, matching the memorable win at Illinois in 1994, when the Nittany Lions trailed 21-0 in the first quarter and won, 35-31, en route to the Big Ten and Rose Bowl titles.

Just as was the case with the ’94 Nittany Lions and 25 times overall, Paterno’s 2010 edition earned the opportunity to play in a New Year’s Day bowl. The all-time leader in post-season wins (24-121 record) and appearances (37), he guided Penn State to a berth in the Outback Bowl, the squad’s fifth New Year’s Day bowl in the past six years. Penn State is 17-8 in New Year’s bowl games under Paterno.

Since the start of the 2005 season, Paterno and his staff have led Penn State to a 58-19 (75.3) record, a figure that ranks among the top 10 percent nationally.

The success of Paterno’s “Grand Experiment” also continued unabated in 2010. Senior guard Stefen Wisniewski led three Nittany Lions who were selected first-team CoSIDA Academic AllAmericans®, the most of any team in the nation for the third consecutive year. Senior linebacker Chris Colasanti and sophomore defensive end Pete Massaro joined Wisniewski, giving Penn State a nation’s-best 15 Academic All-Americans® since 2006.

Paterno has passionately served the Penn State football program and the university with principle, distinction 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 23-year old.

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.

Entering his 46th year pacing the sidelines as head coach of the Nittany Lions, 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.

Paterno has posted a 401-135-3 mark 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, for the lead among FBS coaches. Paterno’s winning percentage of 74.7 ranks No. 4 among active Football Bowl Subdivision coaches (10 or more years) and he is second all-time in games coached (539) among major college coaches.

Paterno’s overall postseason record of 24-12-1 gives him a winning percentage of 66.2, good for No. 3 all-time among coaches with at least 15 bowl visits. The Nittany Lions are 12-5 in contests that comprise the Bowl Championship Series.

Penn State is one of just eight teams with 800 wins all-time and Paterno has been a member of the Nittany Lion staff for 505 of them — 62 percent of the 818 all-time total. Penn State owns a record of 505-183-7 (73.3) since Paterno joined the staff in 1950, the nation’s third-highest winning percentage. He has missed just three games of a possible 695 Penn State contests over 61 seasons.

Since Paterno began leading the program in 1966, Penn State has had 78 first-team All-Americans, with guard Stefen Wisniewski

29

gaining the distinction in 2010. Wisniewski was selected first-team All-Big Ten for the second consecutive year and a National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete. He was joined by senior tailback Evan Royster as a three-time all-conference honoree.

During Paterno’s remarkable tenure, the Nittany Lions have counted 16 National Football Foundation Scholar-Athletes, 37 firstteam Capital One/CoSIDA All-Americans® (47 overall) and 18 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners. Penn State has had at least one Academic All-American® in each of the past nine years, with 13 firstteam honorees since 2006.

Winner of the 2005 Butkus and Bednarik awards, All-America linebacker Paul Posluszny was selected the 2006 CoSIDA Academic All-American®-of-the-Year in Division I football and was a two-time first-team Academic All-American®.

Penn State’s 89 percent graduation rate and 85 percent Graduation Success Rate were tops among all teams in the Associated Press final 2009 Top 25 poll, according to NCAA data.

The Nittany Lions’ GSR and four-year federal graduation rate were second only to Northwestern among Big Ten Conference teams, according to the NCAA 2010 graduation report.

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, 32 of them firstround draft choices. All-America defensive tackle Jared Odrick was a 2010 NFL first-round draft choice by the Miami Dolphins and defensive end Aaron Maybin was the No. 11 overall choice in 2009.

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.

Since 1966, there have been 883 head coaching changes among Football Bowl Subdivision programs, an average of more than six changes per I-A institution! (Includes 22 changes after the 2010 season).

Paterno is the only coach to win the four traditional New Year’s Day bowl games — the Rose, Sugar, Cotton and Orange bowls — and he owns a 6-0 record in the Fiesta Bowl. He was selected by the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame as the first active coach to receive its Distinguished American Award.

Paterno also was the 1986 Sports Illustrated Sportsman-of-the-Year.

A member of the Nittany Lions’ coaching staff spanning the

administrations of 13 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 then-greatest Beaver Stadium comeback under the legendary coach.

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 2009 NCAA Graduation Rates Report for Division I institutions revealed that the Penn State football program compiled an 89 percent graduation rate among freshmen entering in 2002-03, which was No. 1 among teams ranked in the 2009 final Associated Press poll. Penn State’s figure was an astounding 34 points above the 55 percent FBS average.

The NCAA data also showed that Penn State posted a programrecord 85 percent Graduation Success Rate, also the highest among 2009 AP Top 25 teams. The national average among FBS teams was 67 percent.

Paterno is not fond of looking back, but it has been a memorable period for the legendary mentor, who has been a member of the Penn State staff for 695 games.

In January 2011, NCAA President Mark Emmert presented the Gerald R. Ford Award to Paterno at the NCAA Convention. The award honors an individual who has provided significant leadership as an advocate for intercollegiate athletics on a continuous basis throughout his or her career. “For me, Coach Paterno is the definitive role model of what it means to be a college coach,” said Emmert.

In December 2010, the Big Ten Conference announced the winning team in the Big Ten Football Championship game will receive the Stagg-Paterno Championship Trophy. The trophy pays homage to Paterno and Amos Alonzo Stagg, who won 199 games at the University of Chicago when the Maroons were Big Ten members.

Paterno ranks fifth among Big Ten coaches all-time with 154 wins since the Nittany Lions began conference play in 1993. Stagg’s win total is the second-highest total in Big Ten history.

“It’s an honor for our family and Penn State to have my name associated with the Big Ten Championship Trophy,” stated Paterno, who is the Big Ten’s all-time post-season victories leader (10-4 mark since 1993).

The Maxwell Football Club announced in March, 2010 it was renaming its top college coaching honor the Joseph V. Paterno

College Coach-of-the-Year Award. “The Maxwell Football Club is privileged to honor the legacy of Coach Paterno, his values and his successes on and off the field,” said Executive Director Mark Wolpert.

In 2009, Paterno banded together a squad of highly-motivated and dedicated student-athletes and coaches into a squad possessing outstanding work-ethic, commitment and senior leadership that delivered the Nittany Lions’ fourth bowl victory in the past five seasons with a last-minute win over LSU in the Capital One Bowl.

The 2008 and ‘09 Nittany Lions recorded consecutive 11-win seasons for the first time since 1985 and ’86, when Penn State played in back-to-back National Championship games. Paterno’s 21st season with double-figure victories and 23rd team to finish in the Top 10 added to the litany of coaching records he owns. The Nittany Lions won at least 11 games for the 15th time under the Hall of Fame coach.

The 2008 Nittany Lions and their head coach displayed resiliency and toughness to capture the Big Ten Championship and the program’s second Bowl Championship Series berth in four years.

Trailing rival Ohio State in the fourth quarter in a late-October night game, the visiting Nittany Lions made a momentum-swinging play and went on to score the game’s final 10 points to post a hardfought victory en route to their third Big Ten crown.

Paterno also was resilient, as he fought through a hip injury that occurred two days before the 2008 season-opener, displaying toughness and fortitude to his squad when in obvious pain. The day after the Big Ten-clinching win over Michigan State, Paterno had successful hip replacement surgery and led the Nittany Lions during their preparations for the Rose Bowl meeting with Southern California.

Paterno was selected the 2008 Big Ten Dave McClain Coachof-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).

Penn State compiled an 11-2 mark in 2008, 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, more than double the second-highest total, and a record 14 players received first or second-team all-conference accolades. Four Nittany Lions garnered AllAmerica honors and A.Q. Shipley became Penn State’s first recipient of the Rimington Trophy, presented to the nation’s outstanding center.

It also was a record-breaking year for academic accomplishments. A program-record five players were selected to the 2008 ESPN/CoSIDA 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 Nittany Lions earned at least a 3.0 gradepoint average during the Fall 2008 semester. Among the 55 football student-athletes, a record 19 garnered Dean’s List recognition by posting a 3.5 GPA or higher.

In December 2008, Paterno agreed to an extension through the 2011 season.

In 2007, Paterno was inducted into the National Football Foundation and College Football 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 John 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 anymore 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.”

Paterno and Bowden, who rank No. 1-2 in victories among major college coaches, received the prestigious Gold Medal, the National Football Foundation’s highest honor, at the 2006 Hall of Fame Dinner via a video presentation.

The 2007 season saw Paterno reach two more significant milestones and one tremendous honor. He eclipsed another college football legend, Amos Alonzo Stagg, for longevity at one institution among major college coaches. Stagg was a head coach for 57 years, including 41 at the University of Chicago.

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.”

The Nittany Lions’ capped 2007 by defeating Texas A&M in the Valero Alamo Bowl in Paterno’s 500th game as head coach.

Penn State made another January bowl appearance under Paterno in 2006 and defeated Tennessee, 20-10, in the Outback Bowl. 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.

The 2005 Nittany Lions are a squad the legendary coach also will remember fondly. The players and coaches passionately toiled every day to return Penn State to the national championship picture.

The Nittany Lions compiled an 11-1 record, captured the Big Ten Championship and a thrilling triple-overtime decision over Bowden’s Florida State squad in the FedEx Orange Bowl.

The 11-win season represented another milestone, as Penn State recorded at least 10 victories under Paterno in a fifth decade and for the 19th time overall. The Nittany Lions were No. 3 in the polls, earning their 13th Top 5 finish under the veteran coach.

For his leadership in restoring the Nittany Lions to the nation’s elite, Paterno was recognized with numerous National Coach-of-theYear 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.

Joe Paterno simply is an unusual football coach...and, an unusual person.

In an exceptional display of generosity and affection for Penn State, Paterno; his wife, Sue, and their five children announced a contribution of $3.5 million to the University in 1998, bringing Paterno’s lifetime giving total to more than $4 million. The gift was believed to be, Penn State Vice President for Development Rod Kirsch said, “the most generous 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 — a new interfaith spiritual center and the Penn State All-Sports Museum, both on the University Park campus. The museum opened in 2002 and the spiritual center was dedicated in 2003.

“Penn State has been very good to both Sue and me,” Paterno said. “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.”

He and Sue have been actively involved with the Special Olympics Pennsylvania Summer Games, held each June on the University Park campus. In 2008, the Paternos were inducted into the Special Olympics Pennsylvania Hall of Fame.

The Paternos announced a $1 million pledge in 2009 for the Mount Nittany Medical Center. Their gift is part of the most ambitious fundraising effort in the Medical Center’s history and helped support a three-floor, 42,000-square-foot expansion of Centre County’s primary health facility, which was completed in 2010.

Also in 2009, the Paternos were honored by the Charcot-MarieTooth Association for a lifetime of achievement. Coach Paterno is a national spokesperson for CMTA.

A pair of Paterno’s donated personal items recently have raised funds and awareness for Penn State Public Broadcasting. In 2011, the tie he wore in his 400th win was auctioned for $10,200. In 2010, a pair of Paterno’s glasses made national headlines, as a Penn State couple bid $9,000 to purchase the donated autographed specs.

In 2006, Paterno was bestowed a trio of diverse honors in addition to the Hall of Fame announcement and Gold Medal presentation.

He was named a Free Spirit honoree and recognized by The Freedom Forum at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. In April, Paterno received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Dapper Dan Charities in Pittsburgh and received the History Makers Award, presented by the Senator John Heinz Pittsburgh Regional History Center.

Paterno was recognized twice for his illustrious career in 2004.

He was selected the second-best college football coach of all-time 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. He finished No. 8 overall in the listing of college and professional coaches from all sports over the past 25 years.

The American Football Coaches Association presented Paterno with its highest honor in 2002, the Amos Alonzo Stagg Award. The award honors those “whose services have been outstanding in the advancement of the best interests of football.”

In 1998, he was the initial winner of the Eddie Robinson Coachof-the-Year Award, which recognizes an active college coach who is a role model to students and players, an active member of the community and an accomplished coach.

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.”

“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 ExpressNews 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.” “...I can tell you that virtually all of the players he’s touched in 50 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, one of the 32 NFL first-round draft choices to come through Paterno’s Penn State program, was a two-time AllAmerica selection 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.”

Joe and Sue Paterno have five children, all of whom are Penn State graduates, and 17 grandchildren.

In his 34th year on the staff, Dick Anderson is in his 12th season working with the centers and guards. He played an instrumental role in the development of guard/center Stefen Wisniewski into a 2010 first-team AllAmerican and three-time All-Big Ten performer. In 2008, under Anderson’s tutelage, center A.Q. Shipley became the program’s first Rimington Trophy recipient. Anderson has helped mold units that have paved the way for seven 1,000yard rushers since 2002, including one in each of the past six seasons. He coached the quarterbacks from 1993-99, with his initial two pupils — Kerry Collins and Wally Richardson — matriculating to the NFL, with Collins leading the New York Giants to Super Bowl XXXV. Anderson returned to Penn State in 1990 after six seasons as head coach at Rutgers, working with the offensive line from 1990-92. He turned out some exceptional performers during his 1973-83 stint on the Penn State staff, including Pro Football Hall of Famer Mike Munchak, head coach of the Tennessee Titans. From Queens, N.Y., Anderson played both ways at end for Coach Rip Engle at Penn State from 1960-62. Anderson’s tenure at Rutgers included a 21-16 win over Penn State in 1988, the Scarlet Knights’ first win in the series in 70 years.

A member of the Penn State staff since 2003, Kermit Buggs is in his fourth year as the Nittany Lions’ safeties coach. During the 2010 season, he successfully guided a young safety corps, which intercepted five passes, including three by Nick Sukay before mid-season. In 2008, Buggs helped Anthony Scirrotto earn first-team All-Big Ten accolades. Buggs was selected for the position in December 2007 and coached the safeties in Penn State’s 2007 Valero Alamo Bowl victory over Texas A&M. He served as Coordinator of Player Personnel during the 2006 and ’07 seasons and from 2003-05, he was a graduate assistant coach with the Nittany Lions. Buggs previously was a successful high school coach, leading Surry County (Va.) High School to a 34-14 record from 1999-2002. His 1999 squad was 14-0 and won the Division I state championship and Buggs was named the state’s Division I Coach-of-the-Year.

A product of Hampton, Va., Buggs is a 1995 graduate of Norfolk State University, where he played football. He received player of the game honors seven times during his career. He was the University’s 1992-93 recipient of the Vince Lombardi Award for Leadership and Academic Achievement. Buggs has a master’s degree in educational administration from Penn State.

TOM BRADLEY

GALEN HALL

In Charge of Defense/Cornerbacks

In Charge of Offense/Running Backs

Larry Johnson is his 16th season on the staff and 12th year coaching the defensive line. He has been instrumental in the development of six first-team All-Americans in the past 11 years, including defensive tackle Jared Odrick in 2009. Odrick also was the 2009 Big Ten Defensive Player-of-the-Year.

Odrick and ends Aaron Maybin (2008) and All-Pro Tamba Hali (2005) were first-team All-Americans and NFL first-round draft choices under Johnson. Michael Haynes and Jimmy Kennedy were 2002 All-Americans and first-round NFL draft picks. Johnson worked solely with the defensive ends and oversaw many of the special teams from 1996-99. His efforts with Courtney Brown helped him earn All-America honors in 1999 and become the No. 1 selection in the 2000 NFL Draft.

Johnson also has coached 12 first-team All-Big Ten performers and has had a large role in the success of the defense, punting and recruiting efforts during his tenure. Head coach at McDonough High School in Pomfret, Md., for 19 years, Johnson’s teams compiled a 139-36 ledger, capturing state championships in 1983, ‘85 and ‘90. In 1992-93, he was head coach at T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Va. Johnson was a standout linebacker at Elizabeth City (N.C.) State University, earning NAIA All-America honors. One son, Larry, became just the ninth player in NCAA history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season in 2002 and was a two-time All-Pro pick with the Kansas City Chiefs. Another son, Tony, was a Penn State wide receiver.

Tom Bradley is in his 33rd season on the staff and 12th supervising one of the nation’s top defenses. He also is in his 16th year working with the cornerbacks. From 2004-10, Penn State ranks No. 3 in the nation in scoring defense (16.4 ppg) and fifth in rushing (107.1 ypg) and total defense (298.7 ypg). In 2009, the Nittany Lions ranked in the Top 15 nationally in the primary six defensive categories and from 2004-09 Penn State finished in the Top 15 in total and scoring defense every season. Since 2004, Penn State has held 53 of its 88 opponents to 17 points or less, including 10 in ‘09. Bradley, who has played a large role in the success of the defense and recruiting efforts during his tenure, has helped develop four All-Americans in the secondary and cornerback Justin King, a first-team All-Big Ten pick in 2007. Bradley was a football letterman at Penn State in 1977-78, a graduate assistant in 1979 and became a fulltime staff member in 1980. In addition to the defensive backs, Bradley also has coached five other positions, including outside linebackers and defensive ends, coordinated the special teams and served as recruiting coordinator, bringing numerous prep standouts to Penn State throughout his tenure. Shane Conlan, O.J. McDuffie, Kim Herring, David Macklin, Bryan Scott, Alan Zemaitis, Justin King, Lydell Sargeant and D’Anton Lynn are among the standouts he has coached. Bradley was captain of the football and basketball teams at Bishop McCort High School in Johnstown, Pa.

Galen Hall is in his eighth season at Penn State, overseeing the offense and coaching the running backs. He was instrumental in the development of school career rushing leader Evan Royster, who also is the only Nittany Lion with three 1,000-yard rushing seasons (2008-10). Hall also coached Rodney Kinlaw (2007) and Tony Hunt (2005-06), who rushed for more than 1,000 yards. Under Hall, the Lions were second in the Big Ten in total offense (406.9 ypg) in 2009 and broke school records for total offense and passing yards in 2007. Hall directed an offense that led the Big Ten in scoring and was second in rushing in 2005. He returned to his alma mater in 2004 having achieved numerous successes in the collegiate and professional ranks. A native of Williamsburg, Pa., he served as running backs coach with the Dallas Cowboys, where he coached Emmitt Smith in 2002 when Smith broke the NFL all-time rushing record. Hall was head coach of the Rhein Fire in NFL Europe from 1995-2000, leading the team to three World Bowl berths, including NFL Europe titles in 1998 and 2000. He was selected NFL Europe Coach-of-the-Year three times. Hall compiled a 40-18-1 record as head coach at the University of Florida from 198489, winning Associated Press Coach-of-the-Year honors in 1984 after leading the Gators to a 9-1-1 mark. He also was offensive coordinator at Oklahoma from 1966-83, developing numerous All-Americans. Hall was Penn State’s starting quarterback in 1960 and ’61, guiding the Nittany Lions to wins in the Liberty and Gator bowls.

32

BILL KENNEY Offensive Tackles & Tight Ends In his 24th year on the staff, Bill Kenney coaches the offensive tackles and tight ends. He was instrumental in developing tackle Dennis Landolt into a 2009 first-team AllBig Ten honoree and third-team All-American. He also helped mold a unit that opened lanes for Evan Royster to become Penn State’s seventh 1,000-yard rusher since 2002 and alltime leading rusher. Kenney was essential in the development of two-time All-America tackle Levi Brown, the No. 5 pick in the 2007 NFL Draft. He helped develop a unit that paved the way for Larry Johnson to become just the ninth 2,000-yard rusher in NCAA history in 2002. Kenney was critical in the development of 2000 first-team All-Big Ten tackle Kareem McKenzie, a nine-year NFL veteran. Kenney also helped produce a pair of first-team All-Americans in 1994 and ‘95, guard Jeff Hartings and tight end Kyle Brady, both first-round NFL draft choices. Kenney worked with the offensive line (199599), tight ends and offensive line and was recruiting coordinator in 1992, an area where he remains very active. A graduate assistant coach with the Nittany Lions in 1988, he became full-time in 1989. The Randolph, Mass., native is a graduate of Norwich University where he was a three-year starter. He coached a year at Norwich, three years in high school and two seasons as a graduate assistant at Nebraska before arriving at Penn State.

Wide Receivers/Recruiting Coordinator

Linebackers

In his eighth season on the staff, Mike McQueary coaches the wide receivers and serves as recruiting coordinator. His work with the wideouts has produced a significant increase in big plays, unit development and record-setting performances. Derek Moye made 53 catches for 885 yards and eight touchdown catches last year and his 104 career catches are No. 11 on the school list.

Deon Butler, Jordan Norwood and Derrick Williams became the first trio of Nittany Lions with 40 or more catches in a season in 2006, and repeated the feat in 2007 and ’08 en route to making NFL rosters. All three rank in the Top 5 in school career receptions and Top 10 in career receiving yardage, with former walk-on Butler developing into the school career leader in receptions and No. 2 in yardage. McQueary’s efforts as recruiting coordinator have yielded six of the fastest and most athletic classes in Penn State history. He spent the 2003 season as an administrative assistant with the football program and from 2000-02 was a graduate assistant coach. A State College native, McQueary played at Penn State (1994-97) and was the starting quarterback in ‘97, leading the Lions to a 9-3 record and the Florida Citrus Bowl. An offensive co-captain as a senior, McQueary broke three school records and was one of five finalists for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award.

In his first career start, he broke school marks with 366 yards passing and 370 yards of total offense in a win over Pittsburgh.

Ron Vanderlinden is in his 11th year as linebackers coach and has been the primary force in helping restore the “Linebacker U.” tradition. Vanderlinden consistently has developed linebacker units that annually are among the nation’s elite.

He was instrumental in the development of Cameron Wake, who earned 2010 All-Pro honors. All three 2009 starting linebackers received All-Big Ten honors and made 2010 NFL rosters. In 2009, Navorro Bowman was second-team All-American and first-team all-conference for the second consecutive year.

Sean Lee finished his career in fourth place in career tackles with 325. In 2007, All-American Dan Connor became the school’s career tackle leader, won the Bednarik Award and was a finalist for the Butkus Award. Vanderlinden also worked with Paul Posluszny, the 2005 Butkus Award recipient and two-time first-team All-American and Bednarik Award winner.

Vanderlinden, who is very active in Penn State’s recruiting efforts, was head coach at the University of Maryland from 1997-2000. A native of Livonia, Mich., he was defensive coordinator at Northwestern from 1992-96 and spent nine years as a defensive assistant at Colorado. He was an important element in the Wildcats’ emergence, which produced Big Ten Championship seasons in 1995-96. His defensive pupils at Northwestern included linebacker Pat Fitzgerald, the only other two-time Bednarik Award winner. At Colorado, Vanderlinden coached several NFL draft choices and helped the Buffaloes win the 1990 National Championship. He started his career as a graduate assistant at Bowling Green in 1978 and also coached at Michigan and Ball State. A four-year starter at center at Albion College, he twice earned all-conference honors.

JAY PATERNO Quarterbacks Jay Paterno is in his 17th year on the staff and 12th coaching the quarterbacks. He has been instrumental in the development of Rob Bolden and Matt McGloin, both of whom delivered school record-setting performances in 2010. Paterno was influential in the development of two-time first-team All-Big Ten quarterback Daryll Clark. Co-winner of the 2009 Big Ten Silver Football (MVP), Clark was 22-4 as a starter, breaking Penn State records for season (24) and career (43) touchdown passes, season passing yardage (3,003) and season total offense (3,214), among others. Under Paterno’s guidance, Clark earned 2010 Capital One Bowl MVP honors and gave Penn State a 2,000-yard passer for the fifth straight year. Paterno was instrumental in the development of record-setting quarterbacks Anthony Morelli and Michael Robinson, the 2005 Big Ten MVP, who plays for the Seattle Seahawks. Robinson broke Kerry Collins’ school season total offense mark while finishing fifth in voting for the Heisman Trophy. Paterno also coached Zack Mills, who owned or shared 18 school passing and total offense records, including those for game passing (399 yards) and total offense (418). From 1995-99, Paterno worked with the tight ends and was recruiting coordinator, an area where he remains very active. He helped develop All-Big Ten tight end Tony Stewart, who played nine NFL seasons. A 1990 Penn State graduate, Paterno was a reserve quarterback on his father’s squad. He lettered as a senior in 1989 and was a member of the 1986 National Championship team. He was a graduate assistant coach at Virginia for three years and wide receivers and tight ends coach at Connecticut for two. Paterno was the quarterbacks coach at James Madison in 1994, helping the Dukes to the second round of the Division I-AA playoffs.

JOHN THOMAS Strength & Conditioning In his 20th year at Penn State, the efforts of John Thomas have made a significant impact in the squad’s overall strength and conditioning habits. His strenuous regimen throughout the year is most evident during “winning time,” as the Nittany Lions’ conditioning has helped them secure or win many games in the fourth quarter during his tenure. Penn State has won 15 games decided by 10 points or less the past six seasons. His efforts were recognized with his 2002 selection as Master of Strength and Conditioning Coach, a title held by fewer than 30 people worldwide. He also was chosen the 1997 National Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coach-of-the-Year. Thomas spent two seasons at the U.S. Military Academy, the second as the head of the strength and conditioning program in 1990-91. A Muskingum College graduate, he started at defensive tackle for two years and at offensive guard for two seasons and was an All-Ohio Valley Athletic Conference first-team pick and a second-team Division II All-American. He was inducted into the Muskingum Athletic Hall of Fame in October 2008. Thomas spent two years as a graduate assistant football and strength coach at Toledo. At the University of the South (1986-89), he coached football and served as a strength coach in football and baseball.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; Sept. 4 — It was a day to remember for freshman quarterback Rob Bolden and Nittany Nation as Penn State opened its 124th season.

Bolden delivered a record-setting performance, leading No. 19/14 Penn State to a 44-14 win over Youngstown State. He was 20-of-29 for 239 yards and two touchdowns to senior wide receiver Brett Brackett to deliver the best passing performance by a Nittany Lion true freshman starter in program history.

Bolden shared the Big Ten’s inaugural Freshman-of-the-Week award for his superb debut performance.

He was the first Penn State true freshman quarterback to start a game since Wally Richardson against Temple in 1992 as he directed the Nittany Lions to their 38th season-opening win in Joe Paterno’s 45 seasons as head coach.

Both of his touchdown passes went to co-captain Brackett, who broke his career-highs with eight catches for 98 yards.

The Nittany Lion defense delivered another stellar performance, limiting Youngstown State to 75 rushing yards on 34 carries, as the Penguins became the 17th straight Penn State foe to not have a 100-yard rusher.

The Nittany Lions improved to 10319-2 (83.1) in season-openers, winning their last nine and 18 of the last 20.

Penn State improved to 111-12-1 in home-openers overall as Beaver Stadium’s 50th Anniversary season commenced.

Senior placekicker Collin Wagner had a big day, connecting on field goals of 44, 49 and 48 yards. His 49-yarder in the second quarter was a career-long,

surpassing his 47-yard effort in the 2009 win over Minnesota.

Junior Chaz Powell took the second half kickoff for a 100-yard return to push Penn State’s lead to 23-7. The kickoff return for a touchdown was Penn State’s first since Derrick Williams ran one back 94 yards for a score against Illinois in 2008. Penn State’s last 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown had been in 1975

by Rich Mauti at Temple.

Brackett’s leaping 22-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter was a career-long and gave Penn State a 307 lead.

Senior tailback Evan Royster gained 40 yards rushing in limited duty, passing Lydell Mitchell and Larry Johnson to move into sixth place on the Penn State career rushing list.

Making his first career start, senior middle linebacker Chris Colasanti recorded a then-career-best 13 tackles.

His previous high had been six, set against Eastern Illinois in 2009. Senior linebacker Bani Gbadyu made a careerbest eight tackles, topping his former high of seven, set against Iowa in 2009.

Senior co-captain Ollie Ogbu tied a career-high with six tackles and Nate Stupar’s 1.5 tackles for loss, which included a sack, were a career-best.

Wagner opened the scoring with a 44-yard field goal with 3:58 left in the first quarter. Dominique Blake then took a screen pass 80 yards to give Youngstown State a 7-3 first-period lead. The last time the Penn State defense had allowed an 80-yard reception was in 2003 when Michigan State’s Jeff Smoker connected on a scoring strike with Kyle Brown.

Wagner’s 49-yard field goal early in the second quarter cut the lead to 7-6.

The Nittany Lions took the lead for good when Brackett hauled in a 20-yard strike over the middle for Bolden’s first career touchdown pass and a 13-7 lead with 1:20 left in the half. Bolden then connected twice with Derek Moye, who had five catches for 61 yards, to get the Lions in position for a 48-yard field goal

by Wagner on the final play of the half.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala.; Sept. 11 — Penn State turned the ball over three times inside the Alabama 30-yard line and had four turnovers overall as the No. 1 Crimson Tide posted a 24-3 win in Bryant-Denny Stadium.

In the first meeting since 1990 between the national powers and old rivals, the Nittany Lions moved the ball against the Crimson Tide’s Top 5 defense, but converted on only one of three Red Zone chances, getting a 36yard field goal from Collin Wagner in the fourth quarter.

Alabama, which won its 16th consecutive game, led 17-0 at halftime. But, in the second half, Penn State outgained the Tide, 152-121, had more first downs (10-6) and compiled a slight edge in overall time of possession.

Despite the loss, Penn State has a 7-3 record in its last 10 games against Southeastern Conference opponents.

In his first road game, true freshman quarterback Rob Bolden was 13-of-29 for 144 yards, with two interceptions.

Sophomore wide receiver Devon Smith set career-highs with five catches for 47 yards and Derek Moye had a game-high 69 receiving yards on three catches.

Bolden was not sacked for the second consecutive game.

Junior cornerback D’Anton Lynn made a career-high nine tackles, junior safety Nick Sukay had eight stops and sophomore defensive tackle Jordan Hill made a career-best seven hits. The Lions had three minus-yardage plays to Bama’s one.

Trent Richardson ran for 144 yards on 22 carries to snap Penn State’s streak at 17 games of not allowing a 100-yard rusher. The streak was the third-longest in the nation.

Alabama got on the scoreboard first on a 36-yard completion from Greg

McElroy to Kevin Norwood with 8:35 left in the first quarter for a 7-0 lead.

A beautiful 31-yard completion from Bolden to Moye moved the Nittany Lions deep into Crimson Tide territory. But, then Bolden was hit as he threw and Alabama’s Will Lowery made a diving interception at the Penn State three.

Richardson gained 60 yards on three consecutive carries to get the Tide out of trouble. On the first play of the second quarter, McElroy threw a 14-yard scoring toss to Preston Dial to give Alabama a 14-0 lead.

The Nittany Lions took the ensuing kickoff and were on the move, as Bolden threw a 20-yard completion to Moye. Shawney Kersey then gained 24 yards on a reverse on his first career carry. Penn State drove to the Bama 16, but on a completion to Chaz Powell, he fumbled while trying to gain extra yardage. Alabama’s Robert Lester picked up the ball and may have been headed for a touchdown when a hustling Moye caught him and forced a fumble that Brett Brackett recovered at the Penn State two.

A 31-yard field goal by Jeremy Shelley gave Alabama a 17-0 lead with 3:54 left in the half.

Stephfon Green took the second half kickoff 30 yards to get the Lions moving. Evan Royster gained 11 yards on the first snap of the half. On third down, Bolden connected with Justin Brown on a 20-yard completion to the Alabama 28. On third down from the 26, Bolden was intercepted by a diving Lester at the Alabama 13 to end another Penn State scoring threat.

Richardson scored on a one-yard run early in the fourth quarter, but the Lions came right back to get on the scoreboard. Freshman tailback Silas Redd entered the game and gained 12 yards on consecutive carries to set up a 17-yard completion from Bolden to Smith. Moye then hauled in an 18-yard reception and Wagner finished the drive by connecting on a 36-yard field goal with 9:47 left in the game. Redd gained 26 yards on just five carries.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; Sept. 18 — Penn State delivered its 41st shutout under Joe Paterno and won its 500th game since the Hall of Fame coach joined the staff as the No. 22/20 Nittany Lions blanked Kent State, 24-0, in Beaver Stadium.

Penn State improved to 500-178-7 over the past 61 seasons, owning the nation’s No. 3 winning percentage (73.5) since 1950 entering the game. The Nittany Lions recorded their first shutout since beating Minnesota, 20-0, in the 2009 Homecoming game.

The Nittany Lions improved to 12-1 in their next game following a loss since the start of the 2005 season.

Penn State permitted the Golden Flashes only 228 yards, including 58 rushing yards on 25 carries. D’Anton Lynn and Derrick Thomas grabbed their first career interceptions. Kent State became the 18th team since the start of the 2008 season (29 games) to fail to rush for 100 yards against the Nittany Lion defense.

Sophomore cornerback Stephon Morris’ nine tackles were a game and career-high. Sophomore linebacker Michael Mauti tied his then-career-high with seven tackles and Chris Colasanti had seven stops, with a minus-yardage hit. Junior safety Andrew Dailey made a career-high four tackles.

The Nittany Lions ran for 162 yards against the nation’s No. 1-ranked rushing defense and quarterback Rob Bolden threw for one touchdown and ran for another. Bolden became the first Penn State true freshman quarterback with multiple 200-yard passing games in the program’s 124-year history. He was 17-of-27 for 217 yards, recording his second 200-yard passing game of the season.

Senior tailback Evan Royster became the sixth Nittany Lion to rush for 3,000 yards in a career with a 15-yard

Devon Smith made three catches for a career-high 61 yards, including a 48yard touchdown catch from Bolden, the first of his career.

The Nittany Lions got off to a fast start. On the game’s opening possession, Lynn snared his first career interception and delivered Penn State’s first turnover of the season. Taking over at the Golden Flashes’ 45-yard line, a 15yard run by Royster pushed him past 3,000 career yards. Bolden’s one-yard touchdown run, the first of his career, gave Penn Sate a 7-0 lead just 4:54 into the contest.

On Penn State’s second possession, Bolden launched a beautiful 55yard strike to Moye to the Kent State 15.

Royster capped the drive with a threeyard touchdown run for a 14-0 lead with 4:06 left in the first period.

In the third quarter, the Nittany Lions marched 80 yards on 17 plays, taking 9:49 off the clock. The drive ended with a 27-yard field goal by Collin Wagner for a 17-0 lead late in the third quarter.

Midway through the fourth quarter, Bolden found Smith at the Kent State 13-yard line and he avoided would-be tacklers to complete the 48-yard scoring strike to make it 24-0.

The Lions forced Temple to punt on its first possession, but on the Lions’ second drive, Royster fumbled and the Owls recovered in Penn State territory. Bernard Pierce scored on a five-yard run to give Temple a 7-3 lead.

A 32-yard field goal by Wagner made it 7-6 with 2:58 left in the first period, but Temple came right back. A 51-yard run by James Nixon gave the Owls a first-andgoal and Pierce scored on a three-yard run with :10 left in the first quarter. The snap on the PAT attempt was bobbled and the two-point pass was incomplete, making the score 13-6.

The Nittany Lions drew within 13-9 midway through the second quarter on Wagner’s third field goal, a 42-yard effort.

Midway through the third quarter, an 18-yard Bolden to Brackett completion and a 14-yard carry by Royster set up a 32-yard Wagner field goal, trimming the Temple lead to 13-12 with 4:12 left in the period.

On Temple’s next possession, Stupar grabbed an interception at the Owls’ 43yard line, worked his way to the East sideline and was knocked out of bounds at the Temple 12. But, the Lions were forced to try another field goal and Wagner’s 21yard effort with 1:38 left gave Penn State the lead for good at 15-13.

After the Nittany Lions forced another punt, they took over at their own four-yard line. Bolden led Penn State down the field on a clinching 96-yard scoring drive, culminated by Zordich’s one–yard run with 3:35 left. The drive was the longest for the Lions in terms of yards for the season, and the longest drive since Penn State also had a 96-yard scoring drive against Indiana in 2003.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; Sept. 25 — Evan Royster ran for a career-high 187 yards, Collin Wagner tied the school record with five field goals and No. 23/20 Penn State held Temple scoreless over the final three quarters to record a hardfought 22-13 win in Beaver Stadium.

It was Joe Paterno’s 397th career victory, boosting his record to 27-0 against Temple. The Nittany Lions improved their series lead to 36-3-1 over the Owls, who fell to 3-1.

Penn State posted then-season-highs with 216 rushing yards and 439 yards of total offense. The Nittany Lions limited the Owls to 202 yards, a season-best for fewest yards allowed, and forced a season-high four turnovers.

Wagner became the fourth Lion to kick five field goals in a game, joining Travis Forney vs. Michigan State in 1998, Massimo Manca vs. Notre Dame in 1985 and Brian Franco at Nebraska in 1981.

Wagner’s previous high for field goals in a game was four in the win over LSU in the 2010 Capital One Bowl. He received Big Ten Special Teams Player-of-the-Week honors for the first time in his career.

Wagner’s six field goal attempts tied the school record for attempts in a game.

Travis Forney attempted six field goals against Michigan State in 1998 and Massimo Manca attempted six at West Virginia in 1986.

On the first play from scrimmage, Royster ripped off a 50-yard run, the longest rush by a Nittany Lion during the season. The play would begin a huge day for the senior tailback, who eclipsed his previous high of 174 yards against Michigan in 2008. Royster’s total of 187 yards was the most by a Nittany Lion since Larry Johnson had 279 yards against Michigan State in the 2002 regular-season finale.

Temple gained 131 yards in the first half, but was limited to just 71 yards in the second half. The Owls were held to just eight first downs in the game. Nick Sukay grabbed his second and third interceptions of the season, becoming the first Nittany Lion to have two interceptions in a game since Lydell Sargeant made two in the 2008 victory at Wisconsin. Sukay also recorded six tackles (four solo).

Michael Mauti tied his career-high with seven tackles for the third time this season to lead Penn State. Mauti had two hits at halftime and came out of the break by making two stops on Temple’s first second-half possession. Nate Stupar also made seven tackles, including a sack. He grabbed the second interception of his career in the third quarter, returning it 31 yards to the Temple 12 to set up Wagner’s go-ahead field goal.

Chris Colasanti also made seven stops and safety Drew Astorino had six.

Sophomore defensive end Pete Massaro continued his strong play in his second start, recording three hits, with 1.5 tackles for loss, and forcing and recovering a fumble late in the game.

Royster’s 50-yard run on the game’s first play from scrimmage jump-started a drive that culminated in Wagner’s 45-yard field goal to give the Nittany Lions a 3-0 lead just 2:36 into the game.

Penn State sustained a serious blow when senior tackle Lou Eliades suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament, ending his Nittany Lion career.

The Nittany Lions raised their nonconference record to 64-13 (83.1) since joining the Big Ten in 1993. Penn State also improved to 54-5-1 all-time against current members of the Mid-American Conference.

IOWA CITY, Iowa; Oct. 2 — Iowa grabbed a 10-0 first-quarter lead and made a goal line stand early in the third period to hold off a determined Penn State effort, 24-3, in the Big Ten-opener for both teams.

The Penn State defense kept the Hawkeyes off the scoreboard in the second half, holding Iowa to just four first downs and 114 yards in the final 30 minutes. But, the Hawkeyes’ No. 1-ranked defense held the visitors to 54 rushing yards and 3-of-13 on third down conversions.

Senior Evan Royster gained 56 yards on 10 carries and moved into fourth place on Penn State’s career rushing list, passing D.J. Dozier and Curtis Enis.

Quarterback Rob Bolden recorded his fourth 200-yard passing game of the season, increasing his record for the most 200-yard games ever by a Penn State true freshman. Bolden was 20-of37 for 212 yards, with no touchdowns and one interception. Devon Smith tied his career-high with five receptions, gaining 58 yards, and Justin Brown tied his career-high for the second consecutive week with four catches, good for 42 yards.

Penn State recorded 9.0 tackles for loss, its second-highest total of the season (10 TFL vs. Kent State). Chris Colasanti made a career-high 2.5 TFL and cornerback D’Anton Lynn tied his career-high with nine tackles. Drew Astorino made a season-high eight tackles.

Junior safety Nick Sukay grabbed his third interception over the past two games at the Penn State 17 in the first quarter.

Iowa took the game’s opening possession to the Penn State three-yard line, but the Nittany Lion defense stiffened and the Hawkeyes were forced to

bring on Michael Meyer for a 20-yard field goal with 9:21 left in the first quarter.

On Iowa’s second possession, Sukay grabbed his third interception of the season at the Penn State 17. The Hawkeyes took a 10-0 lead, though, on their next possession, as Ricky Stanzi hit Derrell Johnson-Koulianos on a nineyard touchdown pass with 1:00 left in the opening period.

Penn State forced Iowa to punt on its next two possessions, but then the Hawkeyes moved 68 yards on eight plays to take a 17-0 lead. Stanzi scored on a one-yard sneak with 1:41 to play in the half.

Late in the first half, Bolden connected with Brett Brackett on a 49-yard completion and he was tripped up at the Iowa two-yard line with just three seconds left. The reception was a careerlong for Brackett and Bolden. After a delay of game penalty, Collin Wagner connected on a 25-yard field goal on the final play to cut the lead to 17-3.

Penn State took the opening possession of the second half downfield and moved into position to cut the margin to one score. But, on fourth-and-goal from the Iowa one, Bolden swept right and was stopped just inches from the goal line, and the Hawkeyes took over with 7:11 left in the third period. Bolden was 7-of-8 for 56 yards on the drive.

Anthony Fera later delivered a 74yard fourth-quarter punt, which was the fourth-longest punt in Penn State history. It was the Lions’ longest punt since a 78-yard Jeremy Kapinos kick at Ohio State in 2004.

The Nittany Lions forced three consecutive Iowa punts in the fourth quarter and took possession at their own 16 with 1:40 left to play. But, Bolden was picked off by Shaun Prater at the Penn State 33 and he weaved his way into the end zone for the game’s final score.

Penn State starting tight end Garry Gilliam suffered a season-ending torn ACL in the contest, joining junior tight end Andrew Szczerba on the sidelines.

The Nittany Lions immediately responded on their first play from scrimmage, as Bolden connected with Moye on a beautiful 80-yard scoring strike to cut the lead to 14-10. The connection was Penn State’s longest play from scrimmage since an 80-yard touchdown reception by Stephfon Green against Michigan in 2008.

The 80-yard catch was a career-long for Moye and a career-long pass for Bolden.

After a 50-yard field goal by Illinois’ Derek Dimke made it 17-10, another Illinois special teams miscue provided Penn State with great field position late in the second quarter. Ramsey fumbled a 53-yard Fera punt on the Illinois 9 and a hustling Michael Zordich dove and cradled the ball. Wagner then knocked home a 22yard field goal, to cut the lead to 17-13.

Illinois drove in the final minutes of the half and Dimke’s 31-yard field goal boosted the Illini’s lead to 20-13 at the break.

The visitors opened the scoring in the second half with a 68-yard drive that ended in a four-yard completion from running back Jason Ford to Evan Wilson for a 27-13 lead with 8:30 to go in the third quarter. The points were the first allowed

by Penn State in the third quarter in 2010.

The Illini put two more field goals on the board, a 41-yarder in the third quarter and a 37-yarder by Dimke in the fourth, to close the scoring.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; Oct. 9 —Illinois held the ball for 38:12 and shut out Penn State in the second half to register its first victory in Beaver Stadium, 33-13.

The Fighting Illini spoiled Penn State’s 91st Homecoming, as the Nittany Lions fell to 65-21-5 all-time and 39-6 under Joe Paterno in front of the alumni audience.

Penn State lost for just the fifth time in its last 41 home games overall.

Illinois won for the first time in seven games in Beaver Stadium, with the last six games coming as Big Ten competitors.

The Nittany Lions lead the all-time series, 14-4.

The Illini had 23 first downs and ran for 282 yards, the most against Penn State since Minnesota had 288 yards in 2004. The Nittany Lions were limited to seven first downs, their second-fewest under Paterno. Penn State was held to a season-low 235 yards of total offense.

Penn State came into the game with four injured defensive players from the two-deep rotation and five more left the game due to injury and did not return.

Starting defensive end Eric Latimore injured his wrist on the first play of the game and the other starting end, Pete Massaro, left in the second half. The Lions played most of the second half with only two defensive ends that had any previous experience, one of whom — freshman DaQuan Jones — was playing in his second career game.

Starting safety Nick Sukay, defensive tackle Jordan Hill and safety Andrew Dailey also left the game with injuries and did not return. Sukay suffered a torn pectoral muscle when he forced a fumble on the opening kickoff, ending his promising season.

Chris Colasanti made a career-high 18 tackles, the most tackles by a Nittany Lion since Dan Connor had 18 stops against Temple in 2007. Colasanti’s total was the most by a Penn Stater in a Big Ten game since Connor had 18 stops against Ohio State in 2007 and were tied for the most by a Big Ten player during the 2010 regular-season.

Khairi Fortt made his first career start, becoming the first true freshman to start at linebacker for Penn State since Connor did so against Purdue in 2004. Fortt made a season-high 11 tackles and became the 14th Nittany Lion to make his first career start this season.

Redshirt freshman safety Malcolm Willis (6) and true freshman linebacker Glenn Carson (5) also set tackle careerhighs.

Collin Wagner entered the game with a nation’s-best 11 field goals and made both of his attempts.

Penn State was forced to punt from its own 29 with just over 7:30 to go in the first quarter. A 47-yard punt by Anthony Fera was fumbled by Jack Ramsey and snatched by Jake Fagnano, his first career fumble recovery, as the Nittany Lions took possession on the Illinois 23. Wagner connected on a 28-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead with 4:39 to go in the quarter.

Illinois fought back on the ensuing drive, going 80 yards on 11 plays, scoring on an 18-yard touchdown reception by A.J. Jenkins with 14:17 remaining in the half for a 7-3 lead.

After a three-and-out by Illinois, Penn State faced third-and-five on its own 21.

Bolden’s pass was tipped and corralled by Illinois’ Nate Bussey, who took it home for a 16-yard touchdown return and a 14-3 advantage with 9:39 remaining in the half.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.; Oct. 23 — Quarterbacks Rob Bolden and Matt McGloin combined to throw three touchdown passes and Penn State ran for 110 yards in the second half in a 33-21 victory at Minnesota.

With the win, Penn State improved to 13-2 in the next game after a loss since the start of the 2005 season and 14-5 in games after a bye week since 1994. The Nittany Lions won in their debut game in TCF Bank Stadium, the 65th stadium Joe Paterno has coached in during his Hall of Fame career.

The Nittany Lions improved to 9-3 overall on the road and 8-2 in Big Ten road games the past three seasons.

Starting with an Oct. 20, 2007 win at Indiana, Penn State has won its last game in every Big Ten stadium with the exception of Iowa (9-3 record).

Bolden was blistering to start the game, completing his first nine passes for 115 yards, including a 21-yard scoring strike to Brett Brackett just 4:41 into the fray. But, in the second quarter, Bolden was injured and did not return after going 11-of-13 for 130 yards, with one touchdown and no interceptions. He became the 15th Nittany Lion to miss time to that point of the season due to injury.

A redshirt sophomore, McGloin entered the game having thrown two career passes, both against Eastern Illinois in 2009. His first career completion was one Nittany Nation will never forget, as he found Derek Moye in stride on a 42-yard strike on the first play after a D’Anton Lynn end zone interception and 58-yard return.

Redd ran for 20 and 26 yards on consecutive plays early in the fourth period. Following a 10-yard pass from McGloin to Michael Zordich, Moye grabbed his second touchdown pass three plays later.

The Penn State offense delivered a then-season-high six plays of 20 yards or more, made by four players.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; Oct. 30 — Senior tailback Evan Royster broke Penn State’s all-time rushing record and Matt McGloin delivered a strong performance in his first career start to lift the Nittany Lions to a crucial 41-31 victory over Michigan in a wild Big Ten primetime shootout in Beaver Stadium.

Penn State won its third straight game against the Wolverines, tallying its three highest point totals in the series with 46, 35 and 41 points, respectively, in the 2008-10 meetings.

Royster had a huge night, eclipsing Curt Warner’s record of 3,398 yards on a 20-yard burst in the first quarter.

Royster delivered 150 yards on a career-high 29 carries, with two touchdowns, and posted his 14th career 100yard game. He pushed his career rushing total to 3,518 yards. Two of Royster’s top three all-time rushing totals have come against Michigan, gaining 174 (2008), 100 (2009) and 150 yards during the last three meetings with the Wolverines. Penn State improved to 14-0 when Royster gains at least 100 rushing yards.

McGloin became the first former walk-on quarterback to start under Joe Paterno and he was brilliant, going 17of-28 for 250 yards and one touchdown pass, while also running for a one-yard score. McGloin led the Lions to seasonhighs of 27 first downs, 37:29 in time of possession and 10-of-16 on third down conversions. The Nittany Lions’ 435 yards of total offense was their secondhighest total of the season at the time.

McGloin led the Lions to scores on seven of nine possessions. He was 8-

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; Nov. 6 — Penn State staged its most historic of comebacks, overcoming a 21-point firsthalf deficit to give Coach Joe Paterno win No. 400 with a 35-21 victory over Northwestern in an electric Beaver Stadium. The Nittany Lions rattled off 35 straight points to record their largest comeback in Beaver Stadium history under Paterno and tie for the biggest comeback overall under the Hall of Fame coach.

Boosting his record to 400-133-3, Paterno became the first Football Bowl Subdivision coach with 400 wins and just the third in NCAA history among all divisions, joining John Gagliardi (St. John’s) and Eddie Robinson (Grambling).

Down, 21-0, late in the second quarter and on their own nine-yard line, Matt McGloin led the Nittany Lions 91 yards in 47 seconds to begin the rally. Penn State out-scored the Wildcats, 28-0, in the second half, rolling to a season-high 528 yards, achieving great balance with 268 passing yards and 260 yards on the ground.

McGloin set career-highs with four touchdown passes, on 18 completions and 29 attempts. Wideout Derek Moye made five catches, including a beautiful 36-yard touchdown catch with 5:43 left in the third quarter to tie the game at 2121. Junior running back Joe Suhey had a career-high 67 receiving yards on a career-high six catches and Evan Royster gained 45 yards on four catches, including a 13-yard screen pass for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter for the final tally.

COLUMBUS, Ohio; Nov. 13 — For the second consecutive week, Penn State was involved in a game that turned in the second half, only this time it was the Nittany Lions who saw a lead disappear, as No. 9/8 Ohio State rallied for a 38-14 win in Ohio Stadium.

One week after erasing a 21-0 deficit to beat Northwestern, Penn State jumped out to a 14-3 halftime lead as it sought its second consecutive win in Columbus. But, Ohio State marched 96 yards early in the third quarter to cut the deficit to 14-10 and then made three big plays to seize control of the contest.

On the possession after Ohio State’s first touchdown, Matt McGloin was picked off by Devon Torrence, who tipped and juggled the ball but gained control and ran 34 yards the end zone to give Ohio State a 17-14 lead and the momentum with 4:22 left in the third period.

McGloin was razor-sharp in the first half, going 13-of-18 for 141 yards, with two touchdowns and no interceptions.

He led the Lions to 212 yards, just 22 off the season game average for Ohio State’s No. 3 ranked defense. The Lions held the ball for 18:34 and ran 39 plays to the Buckeyes’ 22.

McGloin led the Lions 67 yards in 10 plays on their second possession, throwing a 23-yard scoring strike to Justin Brown just before he took a hit.

Collin Wagner’s PAT made it 7-3 with 4:05 left in the first quarter. The touchdown catch was the first of Brown’s career, as he broke his career-high with five receptions, good for 64 yards.

The McGloin-to-Brown touchdown pass was Penn State’s first in Columbus since Pete Liske hit Bill Bowes on a 13yard scoring strike in the third quarter of the 1963 contest that Penn State won, 10-7. The play ended a string of 45 quarters without a Nittany Lion touchdown pass in Ohio Stadium spanning 11 full games.

The Penn State defense forced a three-and-out and McGloin quickly got the Lions moving from their own 18. He completed the drive with a six-yard bullet to Derek Moye for a 14-3 lead with 11:18 left in the half. Moye made four catches for 36 yards, including his fifth touchdown catch. He moved into 13th place in career receptions with 88, passing Ted Kwalick and Andrew Quarless.

Penn State’s 14 first-half points surpassed the most it had previously scored in a Big Ten game in Columbus.

The previous high was 13 in the critical 13-6 win in 2008 en route to the Big Ten Championship.

The Penn State offensive line did not allow a sack against Ohio State’s Top 5 defense, which entered the game ranked No. 3 in the nation in points allowed (13.6).

Safety Malcolm Willis’ fourth-quarter interception of Terrelle Pryor on Penn State’s two-yard line was the first of his career. Willis also made five tackles. D’Anton Lynn led the Lions with eight stops, while Nate Stupar and Chris Colasanti had seven apiece. Linebacker Michael Mauti left the game early in the second half with a shoulder injury and did not return.

Wagner did not attempt a field goal for the first time in 12 games, dating to the 2009 Ohio State game.

Anthony Fera averaged 44.2 yards on six punts, with a long of 54 yards and one punt downed at the Ohio State four.

In his first collegiate action, true freshman Alex Butterworth punted twice for a 41.0-yard average, with one punt downed inside the Indiana 15-yard line.

Anthony Fera underwent an appendectomy earlier in the week, pressing Butterworth into service.

Penn State improved to 14-0 alltime against Indiana and the Nittany Lions and Hoosiers played another high scoring game. In the 14 meetings, a total of 841 points have been scored, an average of 60.1 per game. The Lions have scored 540 points (38.5 ppg) and Indiana 301 points (21.5 ppg).

Penn State reached 20 first-time starters on the season as Hodges, defensive tackle James Terry and tackle Mike Farrell all started their first career game.

LANDOVER, Md.; Nov. 20 — Penn State and Indiana were in the midst of a shootout, tied at 24-24 late in the third quarter, when safety Andrew Dailey blocked a punt that linebacker Jamie Van Fleet returned for a touchdown to spark the Nittany Lions to a 41-24 win.

The game was played at FedEx Field in Landover, Md., the home of the Washington Redskins, as Penn State played in its fifth NFL stadium in the past six years.

The Nittany Lions improved to 14-2 in the next game after a loss since the start of the 2005 season and 9-3 in Big Ten road games over the past three seasons (10-4 overall).

The Penn State defense forced the Hoosiers to punt from their own 32-yard line as the third quarter dwindled. Dailey came off the edge and nearly swiped the ball off the foot of punter Chris Hagerup. The blocked punt bounced to the Indiana 21, where Van Fleet picked it up and ran it in to spark a 17-0 run to end the game. The touchdown was the first of Van Fleet’s career and was the first blocked punt for a touchdown for Penn State since Matt Hahn scored against Michigan State in 2005.

For his huge momentum-changing play, Dailey was named Big Ten CoSpecial Teams Player-of-the-Week, Penn State’s third such selection of the season.

Making his third career start, quarterback Matt McGloin had his best career performance to date in leading Penn State to 496 yards of total offense and 36:59 in time of possession, both

the second-highest marks of the season. The Nittany Lions did not have a turnover for the second time in the last four games.

McGloin threw for a career-high 315 yards, also breaking his career-bests with 22 completions and 31 attempts, good for two touchdowns, with no interceptions. His 315 yards were the most by a Nittany Lion since Daryll Clark threw for 353 yards in the 2009 seasonopener with Akron. His 315 passing yards were tied for the 10th-best mark in Penn State annals with Chuck Fusina, who had 315 yards at North Carolina State in 1977.

McGloin directed the Lions on scoring drives of 87 and 99 yards to open the game for a 14-0 lead. He hit Brett Brackett on a three-yard touchdown pass on the first play of the second quarter and had a career-long 45-yard strike to Devon Smith.

Wideout Derek Moye had another big day, accumulating 129 all-purpose yards and making at least one touchdown catch for the fifth time in the last six games. He made six catches for 90 yards, including a 21-yard scoring strike from McGloin to give Penn State a 24-17 lead. He made his 13th career TD catch and his sixth of the season, equaling last year’s total. Moye also had his first two carries of the season, gaining 39 yards on two carries, including a 27-yard reverse.

Eleven players carried the ball for Penn State, including three receivers.

Silas Redd led with 50 yards on just nine carries, including a one-yard TD run to close the scoring in the fourth quarter.

Evan Royster gained 48 yards on 16 attempts, with a two-yard run midway through the first quarter to open the scoring, and made two catches for 38 yards. Senior wideout Graham Zug had the first rush of his career.

Linebacker Nate Stupar’s team-high 10 tackles were second-highest of his career. Safety Drew Astorino made a diving interception on Indiana’s next possession after the blocked punt to set up a Collin Wagner field goal for a 34-24 lead.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; Nov. 27 — Penn State scored 19 points in the fourth quarter, but was unable to overtake No. 11/10 Michigan State, as the Spartans captured a share of the Big Ten title and snapped an eight-game Beaver Stadium losing streak with a 2822 victory over the Nittany Lions.

Eighteen Nittany Lion seniors were introduced before the game, bringing a 38-12 record over the past four years into the contest.

The Spartans won for just the fifth time in the 18 annual Land Grant Trophy meetings since Penn State began Big Ten competition in 1993. Michigan State won in Beaver Stadium for the first time since the Nittany Lions began conference play, with their last victory in Happy Valley occurring in 1965.

As is usually the case when they meet, the Nittany Lions and Spartans played a high scoring game. The teams have combined to score 1,110 points in their 18 Big Ten contests, an average of 61.7 per game. The Nittany Lions have scored 630 points (35.0 ppg) and the Spartans 480 points (26.7 ppg) in their Big Ten meetings.

Penn State fell to 19-2 on Senior Day since 1990, with the lone losses coming to Michigan (1999) and to Michigan State (2010). The Nittany Lions had not lost their last regular-season home game since a 1984 setback to Pittsburgh.

Penn State was whistled for seasonhighs in both penalties (eight) and penalty yardage (67 yards) to hamper its efforts to rally from a 21-3 deficit. The previous highs had been against

Northwestern (six penalties for 59 yards).

Making his fourth career start, Matt McGloin became the first Nittany Lion to throw for 300 yards in consecutive games. He re-set his career-highs by going 23-of-43, with two scoring strikes and one interception. McGloin threw for 312 yards, the 12th-best mark at Penn State, and just three yards off his career-best 315 against Indiana a week earlier.

McGloin became just the third Penn State quarterback to have at least two 300-yard passing games in his career, joining Kerry Collins (four) and Daryll Clark (three). All three are tied for the most 300-yard efforts in a season (two), as McGloin equaled marks set by Collins in 1994 and Clark in 2009.

Sophomore wide receiver Justin Brown broke his career-highs in catches and receiving yards with his six receptions for 106 yards, delivering his first career 100-yard receiving game.

In his final home game, Evan Royster gained 85 yards on 14 carries, including a 10-yard score to draw the Lions within 28-16. The touchdown run was the 29th of his career, moving him into a tie for fifth place on the school list.

Linebackers Nate Stupar and Chris Colasanti tied for game-high honors with 10 tackles each and safety Drew Astorino had nine. Colasanti recorded his fourth career double-figure tackle game and pushed his season total to 102 stops, becoming the 21st different Nittany Lion to record at least 100 tackles in a season.

Senior defensive tackle Ollie Ogbu recorded a career-high seven tackles, including one tackle-for-loss, giving him a team-high 8.5 TFL for the season.

Senior linebacker Bani Gbadyu tied his career-high with eight tackles.

Senior Collin Wagner booted his 19th field goal of the season, moving him into a tie with Ray Tarasi (1989) for eighth place in a season. The field goal also was the 35th of Wagner’s career, moving him into a tie for ninth place with Chris Bahr.

Derek Moye had five catches for 65

TAMPA, Fla.; January 1, 2011 — Penn State’s bid for a fourth New Year’s Day bowl victory in the past six years was turned back in the final minute as Florida captured a 37-24 win in the 25th Outback Bowl in Raymond James Stadium.

Two of the nation’s Top 10 winningest programs since 2005 played for just the third time and staged an entertaining contest in front of 60,574 fans on a beautiful New Year’s Day in Tampa Bay. The loss dropped Penn State to 76, while Florida finished 8-5. Penn State suffered its first loss in the Outback Bowl after beating Auburn (1996), Kentucky (1999) and Tennessee (2007) in its previous appearances.

Despite the loss, Penn State’s 58-19 record is tied with Oregon for the nation’s No. 12 winning percentage since the start of the 2005 season.

Making its 43rd bowl appearance, Penn State is 27-14-2 in post-season games.

The Nittany Lions are No. 3 nationally in bowl wins and No. 8 in bowl appearances. Penn State’s 65.1 winning percentage is No. 2 nationally among schools with at least 20 bowl appearances.

The all-time leader in bowl wins (2412-1 record) and appearances (37), Coach Joe Paterno led Penn State to its 25th New Year’s Day bowl game under his leadership (17-8). The Hall of Fame coach finished his 45th season with a career record of 401-135-3.

The Nittany Lions saw their twogame bowl winning streak against Southeastern Conference teams snapped. The Nittany Lions are 9-6 alltime in bowl games against SEC oppo-

nents; 8-5 under Paterno. Overall, Penn State has won 7 of its last 11 games with SEC foes (regular-season and bowls).

The Nittany Lions took a 24-17 lead late in the third quarter, but the Gators scored the next 13 points for a 30-24 lead midway through the fourth.

After both teams exchanged punts, Penn State took possession at its own 21-yard line with just 3:04 left to play.

Matt McGloin completed an 18-yard pass to Derek Moye and Evan Royster’s 23-yard burst made him the first Nittany Lion with a trio of 1,000-yard rushing seasons. With the ball at the Florida 25, a McGloin pass was picked off by Ahmad Black, who returned it 80 yards for a touchdown to essentially seal the game with :55 to play.

Penn State’s career rushing yardage leader, Royster finished his outstanding career with 3,932 yards on a school-record 686 carries and 29 rushing touchdowns. The three-time All-Big Ten honoree gained 98 yards on 20 carries against the Gators to finish the season with 1,014 yards on 208 carries.

On Florida’s first play from scrimmage, junior cornerback D’Anton Lynn grabbed his third interception of the season at the Gators’ 39-yard line. The pick tied him for the team lead with Nick Sukay. McGloin completed passes of 16 yards to Brett Brackett and 15 yards to Graham Zug to give the Nittany Lions a first-and-goal. On third down from the Florida 5, McGloin lofted the ball to Derek Moye, who snared it for his eighth touchdown catch of the season. Collin Wagner’s PAT kick gave Penn State a 70 lead with 9:08 left in the first quarter.

Moye had game-highs with five catches and 79 yards and made his 15th career touchdown catch. He became the 11th Nittany Lion player to record at least 100 career receptions with a firstquarter grab and just the seventh Penn State player to record 15 or more career receiving touchdowns. He made 53 catches for 885 yards and eight touchdowns in 2010, with his 53 catches good for No. 5 on the Penn State season list and his 885 yards ranking No. 6.
