Former Penn State football players and students are recalling Joe Paterno's effect not just on the school's athletic reputation, but also its educational pursuits.

Speaking to more than 10,000 people inside the Penn State basketball arena Thursday, former quarterback Todd Blackledge said
no one anywhere in the country had done more for Penn State.

Student Lauren Perrotti said Paterno helped to emphasize education at the school, too.

The words were shared with Paterno's family, including his wife Sue, and their children and grandchildren, who looked on with pride at Paterno's accomplishments and memories.

Also in attendance were former Penn State and NFL players Franco
Harris and Matt Millen, along with former defensive coordinator Tom
Bradley. So was former Nittany Lions quarterback Daryll Clark.
