Penn State football notes
Penn State has extended its
National Collegiate Athletic
Association record of consecutive
non-losing seasons. The Lions’
victory over North Carolina State
clinched a 41st consecutive non
losing season. Penn State last lost
more than they won in 1938, when
the record was 3-4-1.
Penn State football coach Joe
Patemo has a 14-year record of 66
victories and six defeats (91.7
winning percentage) against
Eastern independents. Patemo’s
teams have won 14 consecutive
games against Eastern op
ponents since a 24-7 loss to Pitt
sburgh at Three Rivers Stadium
in Pittsburgh in 1976. In the 19705,
the only Eastern teams to defeat
Penn State are Navy (1974),
Pittsburgh (1976) and Syracuse
(1970).
Herb Menhardt is only the
Third Penn State kicker to hit 10
field goals in one season.
Menhardt joins Chris Bahr (1973
and 1975) and Matt Bahr (1977
and 1978) as the only Lions to kick
10 field goals in a season. His 11
field goals this season move him
into sixth place on Penn State’s
career field goal chart.
Joe Patemo’s 14-year record of
' 127 victories, 27 losses and a tie
(82.3 winning percentage) in
cludes a 66-9 mark (88.0 winning
percentage) in games at Beaver
Stadium.
In the last 25 seasons, Penn
State has been shut out only six
times. The Nittany Lions Jiave
scored in 138 consecutive regular
season games. The last team to
stop Penn State in the regular
season was Georgia Tech in the
next-to-last game of the 1966
season, 21-0. The Lions have
scored in 78 consecutive games
since a 14-0 loss to Oklahoma in
the 1972 Sugar Bowl.
Penn State has averaged 77,491
persons for four home games this
fall. In four games, a total of
309,964 have watched the Lions
play in Beaver Stadium. The
four-game pace is even with last
year’s record-setting totlas of
77,492 persons per game and
542,444 persons in seven games.
Tailback Booker Moore ranks
12th on Penn State’s career
rushing list. In three seasons,
Moore has gained 1,291 yards on
307 yards. The junior from Flint,
Mich., needs 132 yards to pass
Steve Geise (1975-77; 1,362) and
Tom Donchez (1971, 73-74; 1,422)
to move into 10th place on the all
time rushing list. Earlier this
season, Moore became the 15th
Penn State back over the 1,000
yard mark; senior Mike Guman,
who has gained 991 yards
rushing, could become the 16th
member of that club.
Split end Tom Donovan ranks
10th in receptions (53) and ninth
in receiving yardage (834) on
Penn State’s career charts. He
needs four catches to move into
seventh place on the reception
chart past Jimmy Cefalo (1974-
77) and Greg Edmonds (1968-70),
both of whom caught 56 passes;
and he needs 33 yards to move
into seventh place on the yardage
list past Junior Powell (1961-63),
who gained 866 yards receiving.
Penh State’s defense has
allowed only 16 points in the first
quarter of seven games this year.
West Virginia’s touchdown was
the first score against the Lion
defenders in the first quarter
since Texas A and M scored a
touchdown in the second game of
the season. The only other team
to score in the first 15 minutes of
a game this season was Rutgers
with a field goal.
