'400. The Paterno Way!'

It didn't look promising early on in today's Penn St. - Northwestern game. They looked sluggish and the offense had no consistency at all; basically a first half to forget.

Then, the comeback began...a huge reversal of fortune for the Lions in the second half as they punished the Northwestern defense; McGlion steps in and throws for 4 TDs; Royster and Redd both rush over 100 yards. This win also tied for the biggest come-from-behind victory for Penn St. under Paterno.

But the real story was the achievement of Paterno getting his 400th victory; a living legend who has been the school's head coach since 1966! As is his demeanor, he shunned the spotlight and chaos afterward - already discussing upcoming opponent Ohio St. in the post-game interview. And so, a big congrats to Joe Paterno on winning his 400th college football game today - it couldn't have happened to a classier guy.
