ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -His health is fine, his contract is secure and his players stayed out of trouble.
Joe Paterno just wrapped up a season relatively free of non-football issues that could distract him from the job he’s had a record 44 years – head coach at Penn State.
The campaign began five months ago with the anticipation of JoePa’s return to the sideline after spending most of 2008 in the press box with a balky hip.
It ended with Paterno pacing the soggy turf at the Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium, leading the No. 11 Nittany Lions (11-2) to their best victory of the year in beating No. 13 LSU 19-17 at the Capital One Bowl.
Penn State posted back-to-back seasons with least 10 wins for the first time since 1993-94.
