Associated Press SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Syracuse celebrated its glorious past. Penn State reveled in its stellar present. Jordan Norwood and Deon Butler each caught a pair of touchdown passes before halftime, and No. 17 Penn State renewed the rivalry between the schools with a rout Saturday, gaining nearly 400 yards and scoring 38 points in the first half on the way to a 55-13 win. "It's always a good thing when you score early," said Joe Paterno, who won his 375th game as Penn State coach. "I'm just not sure how good we're going to be yet. We haven't faced any adversity yet, so we'll see." The rout came the day after former Syracuse stars Jim Brown, Floyd Little, Art Monk, Don McPherson, and 40 members of the unbeaten 1959 team attended the world premiere of "The Express," a movie about Ernie Davis. He was the star of that championship team and in 1961 became the first black player to win the Heisman Trophy, two years before he died of leukemia. - NCAA Football - Penn State Nittany Lions - Deon Butler - Joe Paterno - Jordan Norwood - Daryll Clark
