But two of those wins, including 24-7 last year, came against Syracuse, and Paul first thing he says to me is, "You got robbed; the worst call I've ever seen in coaching. It's a shame your team didn't win. Your kids outplayed mine. Your coaches out-coached "I couldn't believe it.

The guy never ceases to amaze me, quite frankly." Mason extracted a measure of revenge two years later, when the Gophers beat then-No. 2 Penn State 24-23 at Beaver Stadium. Since that loss, the Lions are 25-30. That record has made Paterno a target of criticism, about which Mason seems more thin-skinned than Paterno. "You think of all the positive things he has done, but everyone talks about how he's getting old," Mason said.

"I'll probably retire before he does. I think he's in better health than I am. "If they can criticize Joe Paterno like that, the rest of us have no chance." At the Big Ten meetings in Chicago this summer, Mason took his fondness even further. "I almost feel like his abilities are wasted in coaching," Mason said. "He's overquali-fied for college football.

He should have gone into politics. He would have made a great president." Syracuse's Reyes rambles for 237 yards, winning TD vs. Rutgers victory for Wilkes.

He did not dress, however, and wore a headset to relay plays to the offense. Robinson sustained a concussion in the first quarter against Wisconsin. His availability is week-to-week with original estimates from team doctors ranging from 2-4 weeks. In addition, redshirt sophomore linebacker BranDon Snow surprisingly made the trip. Snow began practicing Wednesday after missing the first four weeks of the season with a broken foot.

If he has any input in the decision, Paterno likely would recommend Mason as his replacement. Mason is second to Paterno in career victories (103) among Big Ten coaches. He has taken the Gophers to four bowl games in seven years as head coach, and last year his team went 10-3. Minnesota took a 4-0 record into its game against Penn State at the Hubert H.

Metrodome on Saturday night. "He is a very outgoing, good, honest guy," Paterno said of Mason. "He has done a heck of a job wherever he has been, and I am glad to have him as a friend." Mason usually sounds more in awe. In 1997, after then-No. 1 Penn State beat Minnesota 16-15, Paterno apologized to Mason for an official's critical missed call late in the game.

Then Paterno asked Mason for a moment to apologize to the Gophers. "I could only imagine my reaction in that situation," Mason said. "I'd be so excited that we didn't lose and were still No. 1 with national-championship hopes still alive. The quarter.

"I was trying to make a play and the Rutgers defender came in and knocked the ball out. I take full blame for it. But we got the ball back, the defense did a great job, and all I could think was, "We're going to And that's exactly what happened after the Syracuse defense held and Jeremy Ito been used during Minnesota football games, though, which brings up a sticky issue for the team. "I can't say enough how much not having an on-cam-pus stadium has retarded our growth," Minnesota coach Glen Mason said. "There's a genuine interest, mainly from students, to bringing a stadium back to campus." That movement has gained momentum this year.

A Minnesota alumnus recently donated $35 million to the university to help build an on-campus stadium. Another alum has pledged $1 million. Minnesota's lease at the Metrodome ends in 2011, and the university does not want to renew. Both the Twins and Vikings are pushing for separate facilities, and university officials say the school does not generate enough income to help offset the Metrodome's operating costs. Minnesota has developed plans for a stadium that will cost about $220 million.
