Penn State To Honor Joe Paterno Before September Football Game

Penn State will honor former head football coach Joe Paterno before a home game against Temple on Sept. 17, the school’s athletic department announced Thursday.

The celebration is meant to mark the 50th anniversary of the first game Paterno coached at Penn State. The press release containing the announcement, which was first spotted by a Penn State news website and then reported by Sports Illustrated, did not provide details on what the ceremony will include.
