"In an era of college football in which it seems everybody's hand is in the till or balled up in a fist, Paterno sticks out like a clean thumb. His standard of excellence is so season-in, season-out consistent it borders on the monotonous: win 10, 11; send off another bunch of future doctors, lawyers and accountants."
Text by Rick Reilly
In 1986 Joe Paterno led the Penn State Nittany Lions to an undefeated college football season (12-0), his sixth in 21 years as head coach. Paterno's team also had a perfect record off the field: 100 percent of the seniors graduated on time.
