[NU Sports] JoePa, and Concannon

[Tom Maycock]

If you haven't already done so, read Skip's column on Paterno. It's one of the best things I've read, on any subject, in a long while:

I'm reminded that whatever else happens, it'll be a privilege for me to once again sit in the stands and watch Mr. Paterno coach his team. 

Skip also has another nice "Quick Hitters" column up.

On another subject entirely, I was looking at Scott Concannon's bio, and noted that in just one game in HS, he had 

"324 total yards and four TD's (just eight rushing attempts) ... Had TD runs of 98 and 99 yards in the contest, along with a 96-yard screen pass."

Wow. 

Now, I'm hoping we don't get pinned inside our 5 yard line at any point on Saturday. But if we do, could we somehow arrange for Scott to rip off another of those 90-yard plays?
