During Cappelletti’s senior season, Penn State played West Virginia in late October. The morning of the game, Cappelletti asked Joey what he wanted for his upcoming 11th birthday. Joey replied “I want you to score three touchdowns for me. No, four.” In Something for Joey, a shocked Cappelletti is seen confiding to a teammate: “How am I going to score four touchdowns?” At the end of the first half, Cappelletti had scored 3 touchdowns, well on his way to four. But head coach Joe Paterno did not like to run up the score against opponents, so when the game resumed after halftime, Paterno told Cappelletti he would be on the bench. Cappelletti quietly took his seat on the bench, without telling Paterno of Joey’s wish. Late in the third quarter, one of Cappelletti’s teammates told Paterno of Joey’s wish. On Penn State’s next possession, Paterno shouted “22” and Cappelletti took the field; he scored his fourth touchdown on the same possession, and pointed to Joey as he ran off the field. The Lions scored three more touchdowns in the fourth quarter and won 62–14.
