Chanticleers quarterback William Richardson passed for 131 yards on a 13-of-22 completions.
It was the easy opening win that Nittany Lions fans expected in what could be Paterno’s last year on the sideline. This is the final year of JoePa’s contract, and he and school administrators have tabled talks about his future until after the season. |
