STATE COLLEGE, Pa.

. -- Legends tend to linger in college football even after they are gone. At
Penn State, getting out from under Joe Paternos shadow is more complicated than
the typical transition from a coaching giant.After being the most stable -- in
many ways stagnant -- football program in the country for nearly five decades,
Penn State has been awash in change in the five years since Jerry Sandusky
became infamous and dragged down Paterno with him.Moving forward has required
Penn States new leaders to perform a most difficult maneuver: Distancing the
school from a child sexual-abuse scandal that drew worldwide attention and shook
Happy Valley, while not appearing to abandon the memory of the coach who many
Penn Staters believe gave the university an identity for which they can still be
proud.I think that is the ultimate challenge here, Penn State coach James
Franklin told The Associated Press. How do you balance the history, the
traditions, all the wonderful things that are deep rooted here and have been
here forever, (while) also making moves that you need to be progressive and to
be moving towards a healthy present and a healthy future.Franklin is entering
his third season at Penn State. For the first time this season, Franklin will
have the full allotment of 85 scholarships available when the Nittany Lions open
at home against Kent State on Saturday. Penn State has gone 7-6 each of
Franklins first two years.Moving forward at Penn State, though, is not just
about getting past NCAA scholarship sanctions and bowl bans.For Franklin, the
44-year-old first African-American football coach in Penn State history, one
challenge is trying to get former players to actively support a program that no
longer feels like home.The ones that have come back and been around us and spent
time with us and come to practice have been really good, the former Vanderbilt
coach said. But theres been a group of guys that havent been back because once
again theres a fracture. Theres still hurt feelings. Its not as just simple as
the new coach.Paterno coached at Penn State for 46 seasons. He was fired by the
schools board of trustees days after Sandusky, his longtime defensive
coordinator, was arrested in November 2011 for molesting and raping boys.
Paterno died two and a half months later of lung cancer.The statue of Paterno
was removed from outside Beaver Stadium on July 22, 2012. Paternos name is still
on the campus library built in part by his donations, but highly visible and
university sponsored signs of him are hard to find.I think Penn State needs to
embrace Joe Paterno for who he was, for what he did at Penn State, unequivocally
and without hesitation, said Anthony Lubrano, a Penn State alum and elected
member of the board of trustees.Lubrano said the university at minimum needs to
apologize to Paternos wife, Sue, display the statue again and rename the stadium
Paterno Field at Beaver Stadium.While juggling wishes of ardent supporters like
Lubrano, university leadership is also trying to convey to those for whom
Paterno will never be completely redeemed that Penn States values were not tied
directly to one man.Splits in the relationship between Penn State and its
supporters can take a practical toll on the university and athletic departments
ability to compete with Michigan and Ohio State in the Big Ten. According to a
university report, private support and donations to Penn State have seesawed
widely since the scandal, from a high of $274.8 million in 2011 to $226 million
in 2015.Penn States average attendance the last four seasons is 98,685, among
the best in the country. But Beaver Stadium seats 107,000-plus and 9,000 empty
seats per game costs the athletic department millions.Athletic director Sandy
Barbour and her team are considering a massive facilities upgrade, including
either a renovation or a rebuild of the 56-year-old stadium. Donors will be
needed, but the mere suggestion of taking down the stadium was not well received
by some fans, Barbour said.Barbour and Franklin try to stress that they will
protect the things Paterno left behind that Penn Staters value most: Continuing
Paternos so-called Grand Experiment of prioritizing academics and character and
winning the right way.Depending on their position people may look at him
differently, but it doesnt change that he created that here. Or helped to create
that here, said Barbour, the former California AD.As outsiders trying to lead an
athletic department that had the same face for nearly 50 years, Barbour and
Franklin understand full support and acceptance will take time. Winning more
football games would help, but theres a chicken-and-egg relationship between
support and winning.I think we are still going through a healing process. I
think what made Penn State successful for so long, and I think if you look at
the programs across the country that were having success at the highest levels,
everybodys aligned, Franklin said. The head football coach, the athletic
director, the president, the board and the alumni. Thats what Penn State was for
a long time. We need to get back to that to be the program that everybody wants
us to be.Many in the Penn State community are not yet ready to let go of how the
school and Paterno were blamed and punished for the crimes of Sandusky, who is
serving a 60-year prison sentence.And what many Penn Staters believe that the
entirety of the Penn State community was accused of is really difficult for them
to process, Barbour said. That as a Penn State alum, as a Penn State employee,
theyre being painted with that brush.The Paterno family and their staunchest
supporters, including some of Penn States most famous football alumni such as
Hall of Fame running back Franco Harris, have dug in on redeeming the
coach.Since Joe Paterno died, a lot of people suddenly got brave and said a lot
of things about him that werent true because he couldnt defend himself, Jay
Paterno, Joes son and a former Penn State assistant coach, said in a recent
speech to the Lake Erie Alumni Association.The latest round of allegations came
in May from unsealed court documents, with an alleged Sandusky victim saying he
complained to Paterno about Sandusky in 1976 and was rebuffed. University
President Eric Barron responded with a carefully worded defense of the school
and Paterno.None of these allegations about the supposed knowledge of university
employees has been substantiated in a court of law or in any other process to
test their veracity, Barron said.But Barron, Barbour and Franklin can only go so
far in their recognition of Paterno.The 50th anniversary of Paternos first game
as Penn State coach is Sept. 17, when the Nittany Lions host Temple. There is a
celebration in the works and a dinner being planned for family members, friends
and former players in the State College area the night before the game. No event
is scheduled yet to acknowledge the anniversary at Beaver Stadium.No matter what
position as leadership you take on the continuum, there are others that are
going to criticize, Barbour said. Those that think that Penn States not been
stood up for enough. There are those that think Coach Paterno has not been stood
up for enough. There are those that think Coach Paterno has been stood up for
too much. Its all along the continuum. For leadership, really for anybody, thats
a challenge.Penn State football will never be the same, but there is hope for
those who believe some things should never change.Have these times been
difficult? senior offensive lineman Andrew Nelson said. Yeah, sure. But Penn
State is defined by the tradition, you know? Its defined by the academics. Its
defined by the type of guys that come play here. It doesnt matter exactly whos
sitting in that head coaching position, we have special things here. After a
while, Coach Franklin really helped us buy into that. And he bought into that,
too. What makes Penn State special will always be here.---Follow Ralph D. Russo

bonus-point win to keep up the pressure on Saracens in Pool 3 of the European
Champions Cup.Mike Fords side were heavy favourites to return to winning ways
after being beaten by Saracens in their last home Champions Cup encounter and
they did exactly that as Mamuka Gorgodze, Leigh Halfpenny and Romain Taofifenua
all scored before the break.Ken Owens responded for the Welsh side, but Guilhem
Guirado scored Toulons crucial fourth try at the start of the second half.Wales
full-back Halfpenny was inch-perfect from the tee with 11 points as the Scarlets
returned home pointless despite John Barclays late effort.It didnt take long for
the French giants to move ahead, their first try coming within five minutes
after a powerful burst from Mathieu Bastareaud saw the giant centre break clear
and, although he was stopped just short of the line, Gorgodze dived over from
the next ruck.Halfpenny converted and then exchanged penalties with Rhys
Patchell to make it 10-3, but it was still Toulon who were the dominant force,
especially at the contact area.The Welsh side remained keen to move their
opposition around the field though, spreading the ball wide at almost every
opportunity and a second Patchell penalty narrowed the gap to four.Toulons lead
was soon extended as yet another powerful Bastareaud carry alllowed Halfpenny to
sprint in and score and Taiofifenua reached for the line to add a third.

both tries and while Owens scored just before the break from close range, Toulon
still turned around 24-13 ahead.Home fly-half Pierre Bernard, an impressive
figure in the first period, got the game restarted but it was the visitors who
began the second half the better.Hadleigh Parkes put the Scarlets on the front
foot, before a floated pass from Scott Williams put Steffan Evans over in the
corner.But referee Alex Ruiz, via the TMO, decided Williams had knocked on
before finding Evans and the score was ruled out.The decision looked touch and
go, and it proved to be the crucial moment.Instead of scoring their second try,
the Scarlets promptly conceded their fourth at the other end.Guirado emerged
from a huge line-out surge with the ball and when Halfpenny nailed the touchline
conversion, the game was up.Both sides rung the changes midway through the
second period and the final quarter saw the game flow from end-to-end as the
Scarlets refused to fold.Wayne Pivacs men actually had more of the ball and
Taiofifenua saw yellow for dragging down a maul, allowing Barclay to score what
was in the end a late consolation.
