CFB: JoePa says he'll decide on sideline later in week

The Associated Press

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Penn State coach Joe Paterno is unsure whether his sore right leg will fell well enough to be on the sideline for Saturday's game at Wisconsin.

Paterno said Tuesday he'll determine at the end of this week whether he'll coach from the field or the press box, where he spent last week's win over Purdue.

The 81-year-old Paterno hurt the leg in late August while demonstrating an onside kick to his team. He said it's been sore ever since, though some days are better than others.

JoePa has been staying off his feet at practice, monitoring his players from a golf cart.

Undefeated and sixth-ranked Penn State is going for a seventh straight win.
