    The last time Penn State won a game without Joe Paterno as coach was December 1965.

    That day, the Nittany Lions used a strong defensive effort to beat Maryland, behind the coach who mentored Paterno, Rip Engle.

    On Saturday, No. 21 Penn State earned its first victory since Paterno was fired with a similarly stingy defense.

    Stephfon Green ran for two touchdowns and the Nittany Lions held Ohio State scoreless in the second half of the 20-14 victory on Saturday.
