A fun stat from the Associated Press...
The Ohio State-Penn State matchup will be the first regular-season game involving two head coaches with more than 600 wins combined.
Joe Paterno is 391-128-3 in 44 seasons, all at Penn State. Jim Tressel is 225-78-2 in 24 years as a head coach. He's 90-21 in nine years at Ohio State, and was 135-57-2 in 15 years at Division I-AA (now FCS) Youngstown State.
When Florida State's Bobby Bowden (377 wins at that time) and Virginia Tech's Frank Beamer (214) met last Oct. 25, they combined for 591 career wins between the coaches.
