Ready to become all-time winningest in DivOne
Penn State’s win over Northwestern, Saturday, was Joe Paterno’s 408th. Getting number 409 will be tough because in the next month the Nits get, in order, an angry Illinois (coming off an upset loss to Purdue), Nebraska, then finish on the road against Ohio State and Wisconsin.
Currently, Penn State is on top of the Leader’s Div of the Big 10 and that final game with Wisconsin could be for the div championship and a shot at the first annual Big 10 playoff game and a BCS bowl.
Five winningest coaches all-time:
John Gagliardi* 481-133-11
Joe Paterno 408-136-3
Eddie Robinson 408-165-15
Bobby Bowden 377-129-4
Bear Bryant 323-85-17
*Currently coaching St. John’s, Minnesota
For the third time in four weeks, all three service academies lost. Navy and Air Force have been competitive. Army comes and goes. Navy got snookered out of a win, Saturday, on a close and controversial call at the end of the game, which should have resulted in a Navy score and the win.
Air Force, 3-4, lost to Boise State 26-37. Third loss in a row. Next week at New Mexico.
Army, 2-5, lost to Vanderbilt 21-44. Second loss is a row. Next week, Fordham.
Navy, 2-5, lost to East Carolina 35-38. Fifth loss in a row. Next week at Notre Dame.
