THIS WEEK<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n

Penn State visits Indiana to begin its 19th season of Big Ten Conference competition. The Nittany Lions and Hoosiers are in the Leaders Division and will play annually. The teams have met 14 times since Penn State joined the Big Ten in 1993, including each of the last four years. The Nittany Lions are coming off a 34-6 win over Eastern Michigan, as Penn State threw for 364 yards and limited the Eagles to just 68 rushing yards, 221 yards below their season average. Indiana scored 21 points in the fourth quarter, but fell just short in a 24-21 setback at North Texas last Saturday. Penn State has a 61-20 (75.3) record since the start of the 2005 season, tied with Oregon for the nation’s 11th-best winning percentage over the past seven seasons.<\/p>\n

PATERNO’S 700TH GAME ON PENN STATE STAFF<\/strong>
\nThe Indiana game will mark Penn State’s 700th game since Joe Paterno<\/span><\/a> joined the Nittany Lions’ coaching staff in 1950. Paterno followed Rip Engle<\/span><\/a>, his head coach at Brown University, to State College when Engle was named the Nittany Lions’ head coach in 1950. Paterno was an assistant coach for 16 seasons, was promoted to head coach in 1966 and is in his 46th season leading Penn State. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2007. Since 1950, Penn State has earned a 508-184-7 record, with its 73.2 winning percentage good for No. 3 in the nation over the past 62 seasons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He was a member of the Oklahoma coaching staff from 2002-10, serving as offensive coordinator and helping the Sooners play in seven Big 12 title games. Wilson was offensive coordinator at Northwestern from 1999-2001, facing Penn State once, a 38-35 Nittany Lion win in 2001.<\/div>\n
