STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – Penn State’s Joe Paterno coached Saturday’s homecoming game against Purdue from the Beaver Stadium press box.
The 84-year-old Hall of Famer is recovering from right shoulder and pelvis injuries suffered after a receiver ran into him in practice Aug. 7. Paterno was feeling better last week before two of his players pulled him back to avoid another collision during the 13-3 win Oct. 8 over Iowa.

Paterno said this week that left him sore again, and he was concerned he might be a distraction to his players down on the field. He was on the field for pre-game warmups Saturday before heading upstairs.
Paterno, with 406 career wins, is major U.S. college football’s winningest coach.
