Paterno will be in press box

LOS ANGELES -- Joe Paterno said he will coach from the press box for tomorrow's Rose Bowl matchup against USC.

Paterno addressed the media Wednesday morning on the eve of the New Year's Day showdown.

The 82-year-old coach said he's unsure whether he will come out of the tunnel with his players or address the team during halftime. He will decide that later today when he has a chance to take a look at the logistics for getting from the box to the field when the team visits the stadium for its squad photo.

Matt Fortuna is a sophomore majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Collegian. He has previously covered the men's tennis, soccer and basketball teams. A traditionalist, he would like nothing more than to see Joe Paterno throw it back to his Brooklyn days and install the single-wing offense this season.

Nate Mink is a sophomore majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Daily Collegian and a 5-foot-10 sesquipedalian from Allentown who has tried to grow facial hair for 20 years. Sadly, he has been unsuccessful thus far. He is anxious to get a new driver's license in September and hopes the bartenders at Zanzibar in Ann Arbor believe he's 21.

Wayne Staats is a junior majoring in journalism and history and is a football reporter for the Collegian. He previously covered the baseball and women's basketball teams. He never made it far playing competitive football, unless Nerf football in grade school counts.
