Paterno bowl college press EXCHANGE If normally stoic Joe Paterno thought he could fade into the background following his 300th career victory Saturday, he had another thing coming. With less than a minute remaining in ninth-ranked Penn State's 48-3 blowout of Bowling Green, the sellout crowd of 96,000 at Beaver Stadium rose to offer a standing ovation and began chanting, "Joe Pa-terno, Joe Pa-terno." When the game ended, the scoreboard in the east end zone flashed a picture of the Nittany Lions coach with the number "300." TV cameras rolled, linebacker Lavar Arlington doused him with a bucket of water and the players hoisted Paterno on their shoulders, carrying him to midfield. There, Penn State president Graham Spanier presented him with an original portrait of Paterno and his wife, Sue, painted by former player Bill Rettig and titled, "The Winning Team." Paterno has built a monument in this college town during the past 32 years as head coach, joining Bear Bryant, Pop Warner and Amos Alonzo Stagg as only the fourth member of the Division I 300 club. !/ m i * ?Momingstar rating foi n the CREF Stock Accouni CREF Global Equities Acco CREF Equity Index Accou and CREF Growth Accour B ?S&P and Mood} & rating for TIAA** fflGI MORNING MONF V M We take a lot of pride in gaini from the major rating servi is, we're equally proud of the rating day from our participants.

But he was not above showing emotion at such a time. Tm overwhelmed by it," Paterno said when he finally took the microphone to speak. "All the memories, the coaches, the university..." He choked up and had to compose himself before thanking the fans. "I love every one of you," he said, then led the crowd in the now-famous "We are...Penn State" cheer before he walked off. "He's allowed to be emotional," Arlington said. "He's allowed to enjoy 300. He's like the ultimate father figure to all of us. I didn't expect to see him break down and cry, but it was great. It was like seeing our father cry...or grandfather." Paterno was joined by his wife, five children and three grandchildren in the media room afterward. "Sometimes you don't know yourself," he admitted. "I didn't really think it would be that big a deal. I just wanted to get it over, get on with it and maybe at the end of the year, I'd look back at it. But with that crowd today, the outpouring out there, I was really touched." * I "...Ai M ?Money Maga i MARKS FR( STAR, S&P, M AGAZINE AN ing high marks operating expenses that; ces.

The goals against Georgia were the first in five matches, dating back to the final two regular season matches of 1997. "We are very excited about beating Georgia and the crowd support," Head Coach Sue Kelly said. We had a real concern about beating a SEC team.

Carter passed to running back Olandis Gary, and Homer Torrance forced a fumble. Freshman Kenny Harney recovered the ball and returned it 35 yards to the Georgia 3-yard line.

Carolina could not convert on a fourth, and two, and Georgia received the ball again. The first half ended with a score of 7-3. Carolina received the second half kick off, and the kick was so short that linebacker Ryan Koop caught the kick off for the first time in his career and became USC's return man, running the ball back for 13 yards. However, Carolina again punted the ball, and Georgia's next drive resulted in their final touchdown. Georgia scored one final time on a 26-yard field goal by Hap Hines. Redshirt freshman quarterback Phil Petty was brought in at the end of the fourth quarter and almost completed a touchdown drive for Carolina, but time did not permit it.

Carolina controlled the ball for 30:42, while Georgia's offense was on the field far 29:13. According to Brad Scott, Carolina had many positive occurrences, despite the loss. USC's young team competed jvell with a tough SEC foe and nationally ranked team. Up until the second interception, Scott felt that the Gamecocks were into the game. Cecil Caldwell returned and had an incredible game, especially considering the fact that he was completely healthy. Hambrick also returned and looked very good. "I wasn't happy about missing last week's game," Hambrick said. "I felt like I let my teammates down. I wanted to show them I was back this week." Carolina also experienced some key personnel losses. Defensive back Andre Goodman collided with Bulldog tight end, Jermaine Wiggins and suffered a torn ligament. He is probably out for the rest of the season. Atkins and Errol Rochester each went out with ankle sprains. "Sometimes I just can't believe how fast the injuries come and the quality players they hit," Ray Green said. Carolina looks to build on this game and not let it put them in a slump. Scott said that last year he allowed the Georgia game to be bigger than it should be considering that it is only the second game of the season. Scott says he plans to hit the field hard Monday. Hambrick agrees with Scott and said he plans to "put this game behind us." Next up, the Gamecocks face the Thundering Herd from Marshall. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m. Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium. i in Oklahoma teman. Senior setter Ashley Edlund had a team-high 38 assists.
