This was by no means an iffy moment for Penn State
How many such moments will there be this year?
'lf I'm not g00d...'
By JEFF YOUNG
Assistant Sports Editor
It was Press Day at University Park and
Joe Patemo was holding court on the
consequences of being .or not being good.
“When I’m good,” began the man whose
teams have rarely been known otherwise,
“then you have to beat me. If I’m not good,
then we have to look each other in the eye
and I’m going to have to go out and beat
you.”
The inference seemed to be one of a
gambling, scrappy approach that has by
no means been the trademark of football
in this neck of the woods. One year ago,
Patemo talked of “a good feeling” about
his football team. The team finished a 12-0
season with an Orange Bowl victory. This
year, Paterno mentions gambling. What
should the devout Penn State fan think?
Well, any good devout Peru} State fan
knows by now that his Lions are minus 13
people that helped out greatly last year.
He also knows that many of Penn State’s
opponents show considerable im
provement and experience in their
lineups. But the good devout Penn State
fan probably says, "Oh well, Joe’ll come
up with something.”

And indeed he may. After all, the team
can’t be thalj bad. Patemo has an ex
perienced offensive backfield, a potential
All-America at tight end, a murderous
defensive linej and a strong kicking game.
However, he also seems to have a lack of
depth, untried people at wide receiver and
on the offensive line, and new faces in the.
linebacking and secondary defense.' .
So what does it all mean? Not to the good
devout Penn State fan, whose song is a
monotone Joe’ll-come-up-with-something,
but to the average football observer.
It probably means that, as usual,
Paterno knows what he’s doing when he
infers the thought of a gambling team. It
boils down to a lot of ifs. IF the offensive
line holds up, IF the new linebackers
perform as regulars the way they did in
spot situations last year, IF there are no
serious injuries, et£., etc., etc. •
About the only certain thing is that
tomorrow Penn State plays Stanford, and
10 other teams after that. So Joe Patemo
is doing well to keep a little of that gam
bling in mind. And tomorrow everyone
will know a little better.
