EMOTIONAL GAME

ESPN hyped up the Nebraska at Penn State game, the Nittany Lions' first game since Joe Paterno was fired in the wake of the abuse scandal. The network cut short “College GameDay” by 15 minutes to capture some of the pregame ceremonies as the teams prayed together on the field.

After Penn State's comeback fell short in the 17-14 loss, Paterno's son, Jay, the Nittany Lions quarterback coach, broke down when talking about his father. “Dad, I wish you were here,” he said.” I love you.”

Analyst Chris Spielman said Paterno “would have been proud of how his football team played today.”

Analyst Urban Meyer, a former Florida coach who has been called a leading candidate to replace Paterno, missed the telecast due to the death of his father Friday.
