Sara Ganim and members of The Patriot-News Staff won a number of national awards including the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for local reporting, making her the third youngest winner of a Pulitzer. The award cited "courageously revealing and adeptly covering the explosive Sandusky sex scandal involving former football coach Jerry Sandusky."
Al Pacino and Barry Levinson also worked together on You Don't Know Jack (2010) and The Humbling (2014).
This is the second time Al Pacino has played a head football coach, the first being in Any Given Sunday (1999).
Barry Levinson was nominated for the 2018 Emmy Award in the Outstanding Directing For A Limited Series, Movie Or Dramatic Special category for Paterno (2018), but lost to Ryan Murphy for The Man Who Would Be Vogue (2018).
