MAIN Football College Football Penn State

With its home field in Beaver Stadium "Happy Valley" (a.k.a. Beaver Stadium, the nation's largest) Penn State football is usually synonmous with big, better, and best.

Bringing the team to greatness for the past 4 decades has been legendary head coach Joe Paterno who, in addition to being the only coach to have won all five major bowl games in his career, traditionally vies with Florida State's Bobby Bowden for the most victories ever for a coach in Division I with almost 375 career wins.

Penn State alumni who have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame include Jack Ham, Franco Harris, Mike Michalske, Lenny Moore and Mike Munchak.
