The game of college football certainly has not passed Joe Paterno by just yet, despite what may be said elsewhere. The game is still about moving the football downfield and preventing the other team from scoring.
From the looks of it, Penn State should have one of the more interesting teams to watch in the Big Ten in 2011, and Paterno may be able to make an outside run for the Big Ten title in the final year of his current contract.
We do not know yet if this will be the final season for Paterno or if he will continue coaching in 2012 and beyond. We have already organized Paterno’s bucket list and a listed some expectations for the 2011 season.
Now is time to take a look at some reasons why Paterno may have some tricks up his sleeve when Penn State takes the field this fall.
