Other than kicking a field goal instead of going for a TD down 17 points, failing to attempt an on-sides kick and not going for two points down 31-13, Joe Paterno coached a pretty good game in the Rose Bowl.

Looks as if Mr. Wolf will be even more acerbic this year than last. And his coaching expertise is a little shaky.
Down 17-points a team still needs 3 scores...an onsides kick is such a low percentage play that it is normally only used in absolutely desperate moments...down 31-13 and Mr. Wolf wants to go for 2. 2 times out of 3 it is unsucessful so at 31-13 a team now has to score 3 touchdowns instead of 2 tds and a field goal.
