University Park, PA (Sports Network) - Silas Redd rushed for a three-yard touchdown with 1:08 remaining to lift No. 21 Penn State to a 10-7 win over Illinois and secure an historic win for Joe Paterno. Anthony Fera hit a 30-yard field goal earlier in the fourth quarter for the Nittany Lions (8-1, 5-0 Big Ten), as Paterno earned his 409th career victory to become the winningest coach in Division I history, passing late Grambling State coach Eddie Robinson. Following Redd's touchdown run, the Ill

The Redskins will also miss Hightower's smarts on blitz pickup and are down to Ryan Torain and rookie Roy Helu occupying the backfield. The team also has Penn State's all-time leading rusher Evan Royster on the practice squad and could promote the rookie if another injury occurs. For now, Torain will handle the load and said he is ready to "go out there and run hard, like I always do." Meanwhile, Cooley wa

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - The method of coaching on game day has been altered in Happy Valley, but the results are eerily similar. Penn State is atop the Leaders Division in the Big Ten with an impressive 4-0 conference mark. The Nittany Lions are 7-1 on the year and obviously in the driver's seat heading towards the first-ever Big Ten Championship Game. Should we really have expected any less from Joe Paterno?
