STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Penn State fans gave a standing ovation after the first of the universitys three videos honoring the late Joe Paterno, while some Temple fans in the upper deck turned their backs in protest.One red-lettered sign, behind the Owls fans, said, He turned his back. Well turn ours.To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Paternos first game as head coach -- a 15-7 win over Maryland on Sept. 17, 1966 -- Penn State decided to honor the longtime coach with several videos on the impact to student-athletes and by having two co-captains from his first team participate in the coin toss before Saturdays 34-27 win.The first video aired during a break early in the second quarter. Beaver Stadium announcer Dean DeVore directed an announced 100,420 fans attention to two high-definition video boards for a two-minute video featuring highlights of Paternos career.As soon as Paternos familiar image -- shirt and tie, thick glasses and rolled-up pants -- appeared, fans erupted and kept cheering as DeVore read from a statement highlighting Paternos commitment to student-athletes and academics.Before he became head coach in 1966, Joe Paterno spoke about recruiting more football players who were exceptional students, DeVore said. He was determined to bring to Penn State students who could earn a world-class education and graduate and play football at the highest level.Another video played in the third quarter, this one dedicated to Paterno and his widow Sue, and it featured their $4 million donation put toward expanding the library and local hospital.Outside Happy Valley, the universitys decision to recognize Paterno sparked widespread debate. Paterno was fired in 2011 amid the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal, and he remains a controversial figure nationwide.At Penn State, however, Paterno is still revered. Outside Beaver Stadium, at the former site of his bronze statue -- which was torn down in the summer of 2012 -- fans placed knickknacks like balloons and posters in memory of the coach, who died in January 2012 at age 85.Former players and alumni also left dozens of bricks to symbolize the wall that was demolished behind the Paterno statue. The wall celebrated player and team accomplishments.I do appreciate that [Penn State is] doing something, said Franco Harris, a former Nittany Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers player who has vocally supported Paterno in the past. Its a good first step.Harris delivered a speech to a crowd of at least 100 on the small, grassy hill where the statue once stood. College Football Hall of Famer Lydell Mitchell, who played at Penn State from 1969 to 1971, signed autographs and chatted with fellow supporters there.Only one protester, stationed near the media gate, was seen during the pregame festivities. He held a sign that read, You forgot already. Another protester showed up Friday for the private lettermen reunion to honor Paterno, holding an identical sign near Gate A.That protester, Robert Hoatson, said he drove from New Jersey and had protested at Penn State before. Hoatson runs an organization, Road to Recovery, that helps survivors of sexual abuse.When I heard Penn State was organizing a tribute to Joe Paterno in any way, shape or form, my blood boiled again, Hoatson said. Its outrageous.In May, unsealed court documents revealed that a man said he complained to Paterno about sexual abuse by Sandusky in 1976 but was rebuffed. University president Eric Barron has said the allegation was not substantiated in court or tested by any other process.Paterno was never charged with a crime related to the scandal.Tom Kline, the attorney for the first of Sanduskys victims to reach a settlement with Penn State, said in a statement that those celebrating Paternos accomplishments should remain mindful of his role in the scandal.While Penn State has chosen to officially celebrate the achievements of Joe Paterno, of which there have been many, no one should forget the failings which caused so much pain and anguish to the victims of Jerry Sandusky who have suffered so much for so long, Kline said.Paterno finished his career as the winningest coach in FBS history with 409 victories but was fired in November 2011, shortly after Sandusky, Paternos former defensive coordinator, was arrested for child sexual abuse.Sandusky was convicted in June 2012 on 45 of 48 charges and is serving a 30- to 60-year sentence.The Associated Press contributed to this report. Odell Beckham Jr Youth Jersey . In the response filed Wednesday to the complaint by 30-year-old Alexander Bradley, attorneys say the former University of Florida player is invoking his Fifth Amendment right that protects people from incriminating themselves. Bernie Kosar Womens Jersey . -- Quarterback Will Finch threw for 252 yards and three touchdowns, and Yannick Harou rushed in two scores as the No. http://www.footballbrownsnflprostore.com/Youth-Greedy-Williams-Elite-Jersey/ .C. -- When North Carolina freshman Ryan Switzer reported to training camp in August he was a little miffed to learn he was third on the depth chart at punt returner. Sheldrick Redwine Youth Jersey .com) - The game was all punts and field goals before Kodi Whitfields catch. Jim Brown Womens Jersey . The visitors took a deserved lead in the 16th minute with midfielder Yohan Cabaye curling the ball beyond Adrian from inside the penalty area. Building a winner in the NFL is tough. Assembling a complete team has become all but impossible. The salary cap, free agency and impatient owners work against it.Five teams deserve recognition for coming closer than their peers this season, including one team that was a laughingstock within the past couple seasons. All five have flaws. Some are in better position than others to mask them.It usually takes a few years to build a top defense, and people lose their patience, a veteran coach said. Simultaneously, youre trying to get something going on offense, and if you dont find a quarterback, none of it matters in the end, anyway.On that uplifting note, heres a look at five of the more complete teams.1. Seattle SeahawksThe Seahawks are the only team in thee league with a dominant defense and a dynamic quarterback.ddddddddddddThey also have a game-breaking talent in the return game as Tyler Lockett moves past a knee injury suffered in Week 2.The stats say other teams have been as good or better defensively this season, at least by some measures. Seattle, while first in points allowed, ranks only 11th in defensive expected points added after bending against New Orleans, Buffalo and New England. But the defensive talent is obvious, the pedigree is well-established, and Michael Bennett is about to return. Earl Thomas hamstring injury is the latest hurdle for this unit to overcome. ' ' '
