Joe Paterno has passed away at the age of 85. He was known for winning more Division I NCAA football games than any other coach. He had 46 years of head coach experience under his belt. On November 18 reports made public his diagnosis with lung cancer and this past Saturday, at State College Hopsital, he had taken a turn for the worst and passed away.

"Joe Paterno symbolized a legacy. One of hope and strength. Even at his old age he carried the torch and carried the Nittany Lions into success and fame!"
