➤ Franklin Enjoyed Success In First YearPenn State opened the James Franklin era with four

straight victories and capped his first season on campus with a thrilling 31-30 victory over Boston College in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl. Along the way, Franklin wrote his name among the top sideline bosses in school history.

Franklin’s 2014 Penn State squad started 4-0 for the first time since Joe Paterno’s 2008 squad opened with a 9-0 record. It marked the 29th time in the program’s 128-year history that Penn State began a season with a 4-0 record.

Franklin is just the second Penn State head coach to start his Nittany Lion career 4-0, joining Dick Harlow, who started 5-0 in 1915.

One of just six head coaches in school history to start his tenure with a 3-0 mark, Franklin was the first to start 3-0 in his rookie season since Bob Higgins in 1930.

Franklin also became the 11th Penn State head coach to win his first game as the head coach of the Blue and White with the thrilling 26-24 win over UCF in the Croke Park Classic.

Franklin is just the third Penn State leader to win at least seven games in his first season as head coach, joining Dick Harlow (7; 2015) and Bill O’Brien (8; 2012).

➤ Forty Letterwinners ReturnPenn State returns 40 lettermen from last year’s

New Era Pinstripe Bowl championship squad — 20 on defense, 17 on offense and three specialists. Of the 43 overall lettermen returning, 29 have starting ex perience — 15 on offense, 13 on defense and the starting punter.

The Nittany Lions lost the services of 18 lettermen — 10 on defense, seven on offense and the starting placekicker.

➤ Fifteen Starters ReturningThe Nittany Lions return 15 starters — seven on

offense, seven on defense and one specialist. Fifteen additional Penn Staters have starting ex perience — eight on offense, six on defense and a punter.

Among the returning starters are All-American defensive tackle Anthony Zettel, Freshman All-

Americans DaeSean Hamilton and Andrew Nelson, along with four who received honorable-mention All-Big Ten: defensive tackle Austin Johnson, safety Jordan Lucas, center Angelo Mangiro and cornerback Trevor Williams. That group also includes Big Ten All-Freshman Team honorees safety Marcus Allen, wide receiver Chris Godwin and punter Daniel Pasquariello.

➤ Franklin Continues Postseason SuccessYou can see it the moment he steps onto the field.

James Franklin is one of the most competitive people at practice or in Beaver Stadium and that competitive nature helped him continue his success in the postseason.

Entering his fifth year as a head coach, James Franklin has led all four of his teams to bowl games, earning bowl victories the last three seasons.

Franklin helped Penn State secure its 28th career bowl victory with a 31-30 overtime victory over Boston College in the 2014 New Era Pinstripe Bowl.

His teams are averaging 31.4 points per game in the postseason, including three straight 30-point efforts. He defeated North Carolina State, 38-24, in the 2012 Music City Bowl and Houston, 32-21, in the 2013 BBVA

College. The Nittany Lions did all of this with one of the youngest teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision and while working through scholarship limitations.

Penn State was the nation’s second-youngest team in 2014, with 76 underclassmen (49 freshmen and 27 sophomores) among the NCAA limit of 105 players during training camp. Only Pittsburgh had more underclassmen with 81.

The Nittany Lions roster included just 17 seniors, with just seven starting against Boston College in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl.

The roster for the New Era Pinstripe Bowl featured just 63 recruited scholarship players. Take away the 16 true freshmen that received redshirts in 2014 and that total dipped to 47 scholarship players available for the game with Boston College. The Nittany Lions had eight recruited scholarship seniors, seven of whom were available for the Pinstripe Bowl.

Seventeen Nittany Lions made their first start in 2014 (11 offense, six defense), including seven true freshmen. A total of nine true freshmen saw the field in 2014.

➤ True Freshmen Make An ImpactNine true freshmen made their Penn State debut in

2014 and each one made an impact on the field during their initial season on campus.

Over the past two seasons, Penn State has seen 22 first-year players take the field, with 13 first-year player introductions being made in 2013.

Safety Marcus Allen, safety Troy Apke, wide receiver Saeed Blacknall, linebacker Jason Cabinda, cornerback Christian Campbell, tight end/h-back Mike Gesicki, wide receiver Chris Godwin, cornerback Grant Haley and punter Daniel Pasquariello all made their debuts in 2014.

The season-opening victory over UCF in the Croke Park Classic in Dublin, Ireland saw the debut of five true freshmen — Allen, Blacknall, Gesicki, Godwin and Haley. Gesicki and Godwin each made their first career catch against the Knights, while Haley served as the team’s primary kickoff return man, including a 44-yard return to open the second half.

Haley broke the school record for kickoff returns in a season with 32. HIis 659 kickoff return yards are second in program history to Chaz Powell’s 733 in 2011.

Campbell made his collegiate debut two weeks later in the Big Ten-opener at Rutgers, posting a special teams stop against the Scarlet Knights. On Nov. 15, the Phenix City, Ala., native started his first career game against Temple and hauled in his first career interception against the Owls to go along with three tackles.

Pasquariello debuted with two second-half punts against Massachusetts and eventually won the starting punting duties for the final six games of the season.

Cabinda saw his first game action in the Big Ten home-opener against Northwestern and piled up eight tackles to rank second on the team. He later became the fifth true freshman to start when he cracked the starting 11 at Illinois.

On Oct. 11 in Ann Arbor, Mich., Blacknall and Godwin each made their first career starts against Michigan.

Allen made his first career start in Penn State’s thrilling double-overtime loss to No. 13 Ohio State, piling up 11 tackles against the Buckeyes.

On Nov. 1 against Maryland, Gesicki became the fourth true freshman to start a game. He made at least one catch in 10 of 13 games.

Apke was the final true freshman to see the field, making one tackle during his debut on the kickoff coverage team at Indiana.

➤ Christian Hackenberg Highlighting The Record Book

Junior quarterback Christian Hackenberg has enjoyed two impressive seasons under center and he will look to continue his climb towards the top of nearly every career and season passing list in Penn State history.

After throwing for a sophomore-record 2,977 yards last season, Hackenberg moved from No. 16 to No. 3 on the career passing yards list. His 5,932 passing yards over his first two seasons are just 1,281 yards shy of moving past Zack Mills’ school record of 7,212.

He owns the No. 3 and No. 4 spots on the season passing yards chart. His 2,955 yards are a freshman record and rank No. 4, while his 2,977 yards in 2014 set the sophomore season mark and rank No. 3.

He set a school record for passing yards in a game and became Penn State’s first 400-yard passer in the Croke Park Classic with 454 yards against UCF in Dublin, Ireland. He followed that effort with 319 yards through the air against Akron to accumulate 773 yards in consecutive games to set the Penn State standard, passing Mills’ 686 yards in 2002.

A versatile athlete capable of playing multiple linebacker positions, Brandon Bell is primed to be an impact player on the Penn State defense in 2015. Bell had 47 tackles, 7.0 TFL and one interception last season.

Angelo Mangiro will be the Penn State offensive line’s most experienced player when the Nittany Lions take the field in the fall. An honorable-mention All-Big Ten honoree, Mangiro made great strides during the winter conditioning period.

5

Hackenberg’s 270 completions in 2014 are tied atop the season chart with Matt McGloin’s total from 2012 and his 484 pass attempts last season are the season record.

He owns five of the top 20 game passing yardage totals, including three of the top 10. His 454 tops the Penn State list, his 371 yards against Boston College in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl are No. 5 and the 341-yard effort against Indiana in 2013 ranks No. 10.

On the Penn State career completions chart, Hackenberg ranks No. 3 with 501 career pass completions. He is just 106 passes shy of surpassing Mills’ school record of 606.

His 32 career touchdown passes are No. 8 all-time and just 15 away from supplanting McGloin (46) from the top spot.

In his first career bowl game, Hackenberg set or tied nine Penn State game bowl records with his 34-of-50, 371-yard, four-touchdown, no-interception performance. All of those, along with a 72-yard touchdown completion, 371 yards of total offense and 58 offensive plays set Penn State bowl standards.

➤ Lynch Joins 1,000-Yard ClubJunior running back Akeel Lynch became the 42nd

player in Penn State history to rush for 1,000 career yards with 75 yards against Boston College in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl. He enters his junior season with 1,036 career yards.

Lynch ended his sophomore season strong as he ran for a career-high 137 yards on a career-high 28 carries. Lynch’s career performance came just one week after setting a then-career-high with 130 yards in the win over Temple.

The Toronto, Ontario, Canada native has four career 100-yard rushing efforts, including back-to-back games over the century mark. He is among the 31 Nittany Lions with four or more career games of 100-plus rushing yards, joining teammates Bill Belton (four) and Zach Zwinak (11).

➤ Hull Earns B1G Linebacker of the Year, Second-Team All-America Honors

Mike Hull piled up more hits than any Big Ten tackler during the 2014 season and ranked No. 9 in the NCAA with 10.8 stops per game. His efforts earned him eight All-American honors, first-team All-Big Ten and the Big Ten Butkus-Fitzgerald Linebacker of the Year award.

Hull joined All-American Michael Mauti as Penn State recipients of the Big Ten Linebacker of the Year award, giving Linebacker U. two of the award’s initial four recipients.

He was instrumental in helping Penn State rank among the FBS Top 10 in rushing defense (third, 100.5 ypg), pass efficiency defense (second, 101.14), total defense (second, 278.7 ypg), scoring defense (seventh, 18.6 ppg), third down defense (sixth, 30.2) and fewest first downs allowed (second, 190). The Nittany Lions topped the Big Ten rankings in scoring, total defense, first down and pass efficiency defense.

The co-captain led the Big Ten in tackles with 140 total tackles (10.8 tpg), averaging at least 1.5 tpg more than any other conference player. Hull recorded 10.5 tackles for loss, 2.0 sacks, one interception, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and three pass breakups.

Hull led Penn State in tackles in 11 of 13 games in 2014, with eight double-figure games and three games with nine stops.

He ended the season ranked No. 5 on Penn State’s career tackles list with 294 and tied for No. 4 on the Penn State season tackles list with 140.

Nyeem Wartman is a prime candidate to help carry the torch of the Linebacker U. legacy in the fall. Finishing second on the team in tackles with 75, the versatile Wartman can play multiple positions within the linebacker corps.

A disruptive defensive tackle and instrumental piece in the middle of the Penn State defense, Anthony Zettel was a first-team All-Big Ten honoree and finished the 2014 season with 17.0 TFL.

6

Hull made a career-high 19 tackles against Ohio .State, which rank tied for No. 15 in Penn State history, and added a 16-stop game against Northwestern.

With Hull’s USA Today second-team All-American selection, five Penn State linebackers have earned a total of seven first- or second-team All-America accolades since 2005: Paul Posluszny (2005-06), Dan Connor (2006-07), NaVorro Bowman (2009), Mauti (2012) and Hull (2014).

➤ Freshman All-AmericansWide receiver DaeSean Hamilton and offensive tackle

Andrew Nelson each enjoyed a breakout redshirt freshman season in 2014 and for their efforts earned Freshman All-American honors from multiple media outlets.

Hamilton earned second-team Freshman All-American accolades from College Football News and garnered third-team honors from Athlon Sports.

He also was a second-team All-Big Ten pick and was named to the Big Ten All-Freshman Team by BTN.com, ESPN.com and 247sports.

Hamilton ended the season with a school freshman-record 82 catches — which also ranks second overall in a season at Penn State — and 899 yards.

His 14 catches against Ohio State set the school record for catches in a game, moving past Freddie Scott’s 13 grabs against Wisconsin in 1995.

Hamilton owns the Penn State freshman record for receptions and yardage in a game (165), receiving yardage in a season and 100-yard receiving games (four).

Nelson was a second-team Freshman All-American pick by Athlon Sports and Scout.com, while earning honorable-mention All-American accolades from College Football News.

He also earned Big Ten All-Freshman Team honors from BTN.com, ESPN.com and 247sports after starting all 13 games.

Nelson started 11 games at right tackle and made two starts at left tackle in 2014.

Both were named to the Big Ten All-Academic Team, as well.

➤ Ten Straight For Penn StateWith its win in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl, Penn

State ended the 2014 season with a 7-6 overall record and moved its streak to 10 straight seasons with a winning record. Only two Big Ten teams currently hold a streak of at least 10 consecutive winning seasons — Penn State and Wisconsin (13 seasons).

Penn State ex tended its streak thanks to its third of three-straight season-ending victories — against Wisconsin in 2012, at Wisconsin in 2013 and against Boston College to conclude the 2014 season.

➤ Bowling In The Big AppleOn the hallowed grounds of Yankee Stadium, The

Captain did it again. Senior placekicker Sam Ficken hit a pair of pressure-filled kicks to send Penn State to a 31-30 overtime win over Boston College in the 2014 New Era Pinstripe Bowl.

With the win, the Nittany Lions are tied for No. 3 nationally in bowl wins with 28 (tied with Georgia and Oklahoma). Penn State leads all Big Ten teams in bowl victories.

Among teams with at least 20 bowl appearances, Penn State is No. 2 nationally in bowl winning percentage at 64.4, with a 28-15-2 bowl record. Southern California leads at 67.3 percent.

Penn State made its 45th all-time bowl appearance, which ranks No. 9 in the nation, second-highest among Big Ten teams.

The 14-point deficit overcome by the Nittany Lions equaled the largest comeback victory in their bowl history. Penn State rallied from a 14-0 deficit in the 2007 Alamo Bowl against Tex as A&M. Against Boston College, the Nittany Lions trailed by 14 points, 21-7, in the final minute of the third quarter.

The Pinstripe Bowl represented the 15th different bowl game in Penn State history, with the Nittany Lions winning at least once in 13 of the bowls (28 total wins).

Christian Hackenberg was 34-of-50 for 371 yards against Boston College and was selected the New Era Pinstripe Bowl Most Valuable Player. It was his 15th

career 200-yard passing game and ex tended his school-record 300-yard passing game total to eight games.

Hackenberg broke or tied nine Penn State bowl records with his 34-of-50, 371-yard, four-touchdown, no-interception performance against Boston College. His 34 completions are No. 2 all-time in any Penn State game and he owns four of the top six spots on the game completions chart.

The 72-yard touchdown pass from Hackenberg to Chris Godwin is tied for the longest completion in Penn State’s bowl history. Tom Shuman connected with Chuck Herd for a 72-yard scoring strike in the 1974 Orange Bowl.

Hackenberg directed his third game-tying or go-ahead scoring drive of the 2014 season — and the fifth of his career — in the fourth quarter.

Godwin, Geno Lewis and DaeSean Hamilton all made seven receptions in the game, which is tied for second with three others in Penn State bowl history.

Godwin’s 140 receiving yards rank second in Penn State bowl history, just behind David Daniels’ 154 yards in the 1990 Blockbuster Bowl.

➤ Nittany Lions’ Graduation Success Rate Among Top 10 Percent In FBS

Penn State’s superlative NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR) was among the top 15 of the Football Bowl Subdivision institutions and tied for fifth nationally among public FBS institutions, according to 2014 NCAA data.

Kyle Carter carried a great deal of momentum into the spring after finishing 2014 with the game-tying touchdown reception in overtime in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl. A two-year returning starter, Carter is one of the team’s most experienced offensive players.

Penn State football student-athletes that enrolled in the University from 2004-07 compiled a four-year federal graduation rate of 75 percent, second-highest among all FBS public institutions to Northern Illinois.

The Nittany Lions’ 75 percent figure was an improvement of three points from 2013 and also No. 2 to Northwestern among Big Ten teams.

Penn State’s graduation figure was 16 points above the 59 percent FBS average, according to the NCAA.

The 87 percent figure was up two points from the 2013 NCAA report and tied for the football program’s second-highest graduation rate with the 2011 GSR data.

➤ Football Serves The CommunityHead coach James Franklin frequently talks about

being successful in all facets of a football program. Simply put, he wants each member of the program to have the entire package — athletically, academically, spiritually and in the community.

The long list of community service opportunities are met with tremendous enthusiasm from each one of the student-athletes on the roster.

On the heels of its thrilling 31-30 victory over Boston College in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl, the Penn State football program set the benchmark for success off the field by completing a program-record of more than 1,900 total hours of community service.

The community service initiatives began with volunteer hours at the Pennsylvania Special Olympics Summer Games on June 6 and ended on Dec. 26 with a visit to Sloan-Kettering Memorial Hospital in New York. Members of the football program participated in more than 30 community service events throughout the summer and fall.

A trip to Hershey Medical Center on July 23 featured the entire team, as they boarded buses for a drive to Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital prior to the start of training camp. The team visited with patients and their families in various sections of the hospital.

The list of events includes 23 community service engagements during the football regular-season. Highlighting the list was the United Way Day of Caring, which takes place each October in State College. Approx imately 50 members of the team used an off day during a bye-week to give back to the community by helping with the upkeep of Centre Furnace Mansion.

A pumpkin painting and carving session with LifeLink special education students and the Buddy Walk at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park, which raises awareness for children with special needs and supports the Centre County Down Syndrome Society, capped a busy October on and off the field.

In November, the football program adopted Noah Benner through the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation as an “official” member of the team. Members of the staff gave Noah and his family a tour of the football facility before meeting and speaking with the team at practice.

The Nittany Lions also gave Deven Jackson, a Perry County, Pennsylvania native, an opportunity to tour the football facility and visit with the team at practice. Jackson, who suffered from kidney failure and lost both of his legs to meningitis, inspired the team by competing in youth football with two prosthetic legs.

The week leading up to Thanksgiving was a big time period for community service. The Nittany Lions spent time participating in “Roar for Reading” at local elementary schools, visited The Village at Penn State, a State College retirement community, spent time with children at the Bellefonte Youth Service Bureau and helped the State College Food Bank move more than 2,000 pounds of food.

The Penn State chapter of Uplifting Athletes set new heights with fundraising efforts surrounding the 12th Annual Penn State Uplifting Athletes “Lift For Life” held on July 12. The chapter raised a record $151,990 in 2014, bringing the cumulative total to more than $1 million to benefit the Kidney Cancer Association.

The team and staff again played a major role in the Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon (THON) festivities. The Nittany Lions hosted their annual THON 2015 Ex plorers Program Football Ex perience, where members of the team provided tours of the Lasch Building and capped it off with an ice cream social with Four Diamonds children and their families.

The Nittany Lions also participated during THON’s “Athlete Hour” on Saturday afternoon, in addition to dancing on stage as part of the annual pep rally on Saturday night.

➤ Beaver Stadium Continues To Be Among Top-Drawing Venues

Penn State fans again demonstrated why they are regarded as the best in the nation as they flocked to Beaver Stadium during the 2014 season. Nittany Lion fans boosted the Beaver Stadium average attendance by more than 5,000 per game to keep Penn State No. 5 nationally in average home attendance, according to the NCAA.

Widely recognized as the nation’s most passionate and loyal alumni, fans and students, Penn State supporters kept the Nittany Lions in the top five nationally in average home attendance for the 24th consecutive season. There were 129 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) institutions this past season, according to the NCAA attendance figures.

Led by a sellout throng of 107,895 for the primetime, double-overtime game with Ohio State, the Nittany Lions drew a total of 711,358 for an average of 101,623 per game during the 2014 season. In 2013, the total home attendance was 676,112, an average of 96,587 per contest, resulting in an average increase of 5,036 fans per game (5.0 percent) in 2014. Penn State fans bought a total of 35,000-plus more tickets over seven home games last fall.

Penn State’s average increase was third-highest among schools in the top 25 in average home attendance whose stadiums did not ex pand prior to the 2014 season, according to the NCAA. Florida State (6,790 avg.), UCLA (6,365) and Penn State (5,036) led the way in average home attendance increases this past season among the attendance leaders whose stadiums did not ex pand.

Trevor Williams was a model of consistency for the Nittany Lions throughout the 2014 season. An honorable-mention All-Big Ten honoree, the Maryland native finished with 27 tackles and two interceptions last fall.

2015 SQUAD BREAKDOWN

Among the top workers in the weight room, Carl Nassib has eagerly awaited the opportunity for significant playing time at defensive end. He finished with 3.5 TFLs in 2014, but is poised to play a much bigger role for the Nittany Lion defense in 2015.

Tabbed as All-Big Ten honorable mention in 2014, Austin Johnson is primed for a breakout campaign in the fall. He finished with 49 tackles and 6.0 TFLs last fall.

2MARCUS ALLEN6-2, 206So./So.SafetyUpper Marlboro, Md.

Marcus Allen was a major contributor during his true freshman season, appearing in all 13 games. He made his first career start in the double-overtime contest against No. 13 Ohio State and started the final seven games of the season. One of three true freshmen to start on defense in 2014, Allen was dubbed an Athlon Sports third-team Freshman All-American, while earning Big Ten All-Freshman Team nods from BTN.com, ESPN.com and 247Sports.com. He was among 16 Nittany Lions to make their first career start in 2014 and was one of nine true freshmen to make their debut during the season. He made 58 stops (35 solo), which tied for third on the team, posted three pass breakups and accounted for one sack (minus-11). Allen was a main cog in a defense that held 11 of 13 opponents to under 300 yards of total offense and limited nine opponents to 20 or fewer points in regulation. He made his collegiate debut in the thrilling 26-24 season-opening win over UCF in the Croke Park Classic in Dublin, Ireland. Allen registered his first career tackle in the third quarter against Massachusetts and ended the 48-7 victory over the Minutemen with two solo tackles.

He followed that with 11 stops (six solo) in a narrow home loss to Maryland, which included his first career sack, an 11-yard takedown of C.J. Brown midway through the fourth quarter. Allen registered six tackles (five solo), including one tackle for loss, in the 13-7 win at Indiana. His efforts helped

the Nittany Lions shut out the Indiana offense, as the Hoosiers scored their fewest points at home since 2006, via a defensive touchdown. He made a pair of solo stops in the 31-13 win over Temple to help Penn State become bowl eligible and hold the Owls to 61 rushing yards and just eight first downs, the fewest allowed by Penn State since 2011 against Indiana State (eight). Allen ranked second on the team with nine tackles (eight solo) at Illinois and helped hold the Illini to 2-of-16 on third down conversions and just 16 points. He registered nine tackles (four solo) for a defense that held the potent Michigan State offense to 298 total yards, marking the first time all season that the Spartans were held to less than 300 yards of total offense.

second quarter at Michigan, highlighting a seven-catch, 58-yard effort against the Wolverines. With his second of seven receptions at Michigan, he moved past Butler’s school freshman record for catches in a season. Hamilton broke the Penn State game receptions record and in the process his own freshmen receptions record with 14 catches for 126 yards against No. 13 Ohio State to earn his second Big Ten Freshman of the Week award. He made three catches on the Nittany Lions’ 77-yard game-tying drive late in regulation to force overtime.

Hamilton caught two passes (33 yards) in the win at Indiana and followed that with a team-high four grabs (26 yards) against Temple. After making one catch for six yards at Illinois, he hauled in six passes for 55 yards against No. 10 Michigan State.

10TREVOR WILLIAMS6-1, 196Sr./Sr.CornerbackBaltimore, Md.

Trevor Williams started 12 games in 2014 to push his total to 20 career starts. He was named honorable-mention All-Big Ten by the conference media contingent. He made 27 tackles (22 solo) with two interceptions, five pass breakups and one forced fumble. His two interceptions tied for third on the team. He made two tackles to open the season in the win at the Croke Park Classic against UCF in Dublin, Ireland, followed by posting one pass breakup in the 21-3 victory over Akron in the home-opener. He intercepted two passes and added five tackles in the win at Rutgers, helping hold the Scarlet Knights to no points, three first downs and 95 yards in the second half. He was named the Big Ten Co-Defensive Player of the Week after collecting his first career multi-interception game and helping the Nittany Lions snag five interceptions in the game. Williams also was selected the coaching staff’s Co-Defensive Player of the Week for his play against the Scarlet Knights. The two interceptions were the most by a Nittany Lion since Michael Mauti’s two picks in the win at Illinois on Sept. 29, 2012. Williams’ two interceptions against Rutgers also marked the first multi-interception game by a Penn State defensive back since safety Nick Sukay had two against Temple in 2010. He made one tackle and helped the Nittany Lions hold Massachusetts to just three yards rushing, the lowest total allowed by Penn State since 2007 against Notre Dame (zero rushing yards). Williams made two tackles and added one pass breakup against Northwestern with one of his two stops coming on a fake field goal attempt in the first quarter to stop the Wildcats from scoring at the Penn State 3-yard line. He logged three tackles at Michigan and made three stops in the double-overtime game against No. 13 Ohio State. His efforts against the Buckeyes helped the defense hold Ohio State to 17 points and 256 yards in regulation. Williams made two stops and forced his first career fumble to help limit Maryland to just 194 yards of total offense, the fewest yards of total offense allowed by Penn State to a Big Ten opponent since Minnesota (138 yards) in 2009. He made three tackles (two solo), including 1.5 TFL, to boost a secondary that held Indiana to just 68 passing yards and 221 total yards in the 13-7 win at Bloomington. His efforts helped the Nittany Lions shut out the Indiana offense, as the Hoosiers scored their fewest points at home since 2006, via a defensive touchdown. After missing the Temple game, he returned

to the starting lineup at Illinois and recorded two tackles and one pass breakup as the defensive unit held the Illini to 2-of-16 on third down conversions and just 16 points. Williams made one tackle and added one pass breakup for a defense that limited the Michigan State offense to 298 total yards, marking the only time in 2014 the Spartans were held under 300 yards of total offense. He made three stops and broke up one pass in the 31-30 overtime victory over Boston College in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl.

98ANTHONY ZETTEL6-4, 278Sr./Sr.Defensive TackleWest Branch, Mich.

Anthony Zettel started all 13 games in 2014 to push his total to 15 career starts. He was selected an Athlon Sports fourth-team All-American and was named to the All-Big Ten first-team by the coaches and media, as well as the ESPN.com and BTN.com All-Big Ten squads. Zettel was the only FBS player ranked among the national leaders in sacks and interceptions per game. He was the first Penn State defensive lineman since at least 1959 with at least three interceptions in a season. His 16.0 career sacks are tied for 15th in Penn State history with College Football Hall of Famer Shane Conlan (1983-86). He moved from defensive end to defensive tackle in 2014 and led the team with 17.0 tackles for loss (minus-72) and 8.0 sacks (minus-46). Zettel finished third in the Big Ten and tied for 24th nationally in tackles for loss at 17.0 (1.3 per game), and was tied for fifth in the Big Ten and 51st nationally in sacks (0.62 per game). He finished the season tied for ninth on the squad with 42 tackles (28 solo) and added a team-high-tying three interceptions, one fumble recovery, one forced fumble and eight passes defended. Zettel ended the season with at least 1.0 TFL in seven straight games. Zettel was a fixture in the UCF backfield during the Croke Park Classic in Dublin, Ireland with a personal-best 3.0 TFL en route to a career-high-tying six tackles. He also recovered a fumble in the fourth quarter and notched one pass breakup against the Knights. His efforts up front helped Penn State hold UCF to 24 rushing yards on 29 attempts and he was named the coaching staff’s Defensive Player of the Week. He made a sack for the second straight game and finished with three tackles in the 21-3 win over Akron. His sack of Akron quarterback Kyle Pohl was instrumental in halting the Zips first drive of the game forcing a field goal attempt that was wide left. Zettel was selected the Athlon Sports Big Ten Player of the Week and the coaches’ Co-Defensive Player of the Week after totaling four solo tackles, including a career-high-tying 3.0 TFL, in the 13-10 win at Rutgers. Among his three stops behind the line of scrimmage was his third sack of the season, which came on first down during the final Scarlet Knights drive of the game. Zettel guided a defense that held Rutgers to no points, three first downs and just 95 yards in the second half. He helped hold Massachusetts to just three rushing yards in the 48-7 victory, the lowest total allowed by Penn State since Notre Dame had zero rushing yards in 2007. He collected four tackles against Northwestern. In the return to his home state of Michigan, Zettel pulled in his second career interception that led to a touchdown pass from Christian Hackenberg to DaeSean Hamilton. It was his second career interception against the Wolverines, with his first career pick coming in the four-overtime win in 2013. He also added two tackles and one pass breakup against the Wolverines. Zettel nabbed his second interception of the season and returned it 40 yards for his first career touchdown to put Penn State on the scoreboard against No. 13 Ohio State. The pick-six was the first interception returned for a touchdown for the Nittany Lions since NaVorro Bowman’s 73-yard return against Indiana in 2009. The score also was the first defensive touchdown for Penn State since Mike

Hull’s 74-yard fumble return against Navy in 2012. Zettel became the first defensive lineman with an interception return for a TD since Courtney Brown’s 25-yard pick-six of Purdue’s Drew Brees on Oct. 24, 1999. He also recorded two tackles, including 1.0 sack, and added one pass breakup in the double-overtime game with the Buckeyes. He made one stop for an eight-yard loss, forced a fumble and had one pass breakup against Maryland as the defense held the Terps to 194 yards of total offense, the fewest by a Big Ten foe against Penn State since Minnesota had 138 yards in 2009. He logged three solo tackles, including 1.0 sack, for a defensive front that limited the then-nation’s leading rusher (162.5 avg.) and Doak Walker Award finalist, Indiana’s Tevin Coleman, to just 71 yards on 20 carries. His efforts helped the Nittany Lions shut out the Indiana offense, as the Hoosiers scored their fewest points at home since 2006, via a defensive touchdown. Zettel recorded three tackles, including 1.0 sack, in the 30-13 win over Temple as Penn State limited the Owls to just 61 rushing yards and eight first downs on the day, the fewest for a Nittany Lion opponent since Indiana State had eight in 2011. He added 1.0 sack among his three tackles at Illinois as part of a defensive effort that held the Illini to 2-of-16 on third down conversions and just 16 points. Zettel notched five tackles, including his third game with 3.0 TFL, and added an interception to lead a defense that held the Michigan State offense to 298 total yards, marking the only time in 2014 the Spartans were held to less than 300 yards of total offense. He made a career-high-tying six hits, including 2.0 TFL, in the 31-30 overtime victory over Boston College in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl.

Franklin was named the 16th head football coach in the storied history of the Nittany Lion program on January 11, 2014.

From Langhorne, Pa., Franklin vowed to “Dominate The State” and raise the bar in the team’s academic achievement and community service during his introductory news conference. During his short tenure in Happy Valley, he has electrified Nittany Nation with his passion and vision for the program and ability to recruit premier student-athletes from across the nation. Franklin has assembled a coaching staff that features a record of success and tremendous chemistry and familiarity with each other, Penn State and the region.

From Day 1, Franklin has reinforced the four core values for the Penn State program to return to national championship contention — a positive attitude, great work ethic, competing on and off the field and the ability to sacrifice.

The passionate, positive and driven Franklin is in his fifth year as a collegiate head coach, leading his first four squads to a bowl game, with post-season victories the past three years. He owns a 31-21 career record, with three consecutive winning seasons.

His first season as the Nittany Lions’ head coach began with a final-play 26-24 victory over UCF in Dublin, Ireland in Penn State’s first-ever international game. The 2014 campaign ended with an equally dramatic comeback, a 31-30 overtime win over Boston College in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl in Yankee Stadium. Penn State overcame a 21-7 deficit late in the third quarter against the Eagles, with the 14-point margin tied for the largest deficit the Nittany Lions have overcome in their 45 bowl games all-time.

With the Pinstripe Bowl win, Franklin became just the third Penn State coach to lead the team to at least seven wins in his first season, joining Dick Harlow (1915) and Bill O’Brien (2012). In leading the Nittany Lions to a 4-0 start, Franklin joined Harlow as the only first-year Penn State coaches to win their initial four games.

In February 2015, the Nittany Lions’ highly-regarded class of 25 signees was ranked in the Top 15 nationally by the four major recruiting services.

During Franklin’s first fall semester on campus, the Nittany Lions delivered a record-setting academic performance. The football student-athletes set program records with 25 student-athletes earning Dean’s List recognition (3.5 GPA), 57 players owning a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average or higher after the 2014 fall semester and 21 true freshmen posting a 3.0 GPA or better. Additionally, 51 squad members compiled at least a 3.0 GPA, the second-highest semester total in program history.

Penn State’s 87 percent football graduation figure was second-highest in the Big Ten Conference and No. 5 among all public FBS institutions, according to NCAA data in October 2014. The Nittany Lions’ 87 percent graduation rate was 16 points higher than the 71 percent FBS average.

“We take a great deal of pride in our academic performance and we are committed to a high level of success and achievement in the classroom and on the field,” says Franklin, who is in his 21st year in coaching. “I have been so impressed by the dedication, work ethic and pride our players have demonstrated with all their academic and team responsibilities. We want our players to have the complete student-athlete ex perience at Penn State!”

From June-December, 2014, the Nittany Lions completed a program-record of more than 1,900 total hours of community service. Members of the football program participated in more than 30 different community service events, including 23 events from the time training camp started in August. The volunteer events began with the Pennsylvania Special Olympics Summer Games on June 6 and ended on Dec. 26 with a visit to Sloan-Kettering Memorial Hospital in New York. Many squad members also traveled to the Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital in July, visiting with patients and their families.

The engaging and enthusiastic Franklin is a popular speaker and media interview subject. For the second consecutive year, he was a guest analyst on ESPN’s coverage from the site of college football’s national championship game, spending a day appearing on

various ESPN platforms from Fort Worth, Tex as, near the inaugural College Football Playoff title game.

This past February, Franklin was the lone college head coach among the speakers and panelists at the prestigious MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference in Boston. He was a panelist for the session, “The Formula to Win: College Football Analytics,” which was moderated by CNN anchor/reporter Rachel Nichols.

Franklin led Vanderbilt University to unprecedented success as head coach from 2011-13, winning nine games in each of his last two years, finishing in the Top 25 and winning bowl games in consecutive seasons, all for the first time in school history.

“Coach Franklin is a great relationship builder and has a tremendous connection with his student-athletes, the Penn State student body and our community,” stated Sandy Barbour, Director of Athletics. “James aptly applies his football ex pertise and uses his high energy, passionate approach, and ability to listen and learn, to motivate the student-athletes in the program. You can see it in their effort, preparation and ‘never give up’ mentality. Penn State football has outstanding tradition, a really proud past and a very bright future under Coach Franklin’s leadership and I’m ex cited to see our progress.”

Franklin’s tireless efforts and enthusiasm resulted in taking Vanderbilt to new heights from 2011-13, posting a 24-15 record, including marks of 9-4 during each of the final two seasons, capped by bowl victories. The Commodores finished the 2013 season with five consecutive victories, with wins over Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky in Southeastern Conference play, along with a win over Houston in the BBVA Compass Bowl. Franklin’s 2012 squad finished the season with seven consecutive victories and posted Vanderbilt’s first nine-win season since 1915.

A two-time All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) quarterback at East Stroudsburg University, Franklin has demonstrated the ability to recruit, teach and motivate talented student-athletes throughout his coaching tenure. He was named Vanderbilt’s head coach on December 17, 2010 after three years as the assistant head coach/offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at Maryland, his second stint with the Terps. Franklin was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Kansas State in 2006-07 and the wide receivers coach of the NFL’s Green Bay Packers (2005) prior to arriving in Nashville.

James Franklin, a Pennsylvania native who is one of the nation’s most successful and dynamic coaches, is in his second season as the Penn State head football coach.

MALLOY PATERNO HEAD FOOTBALL COACH

“I can’t tell you how excited I am to come home,” Franklin stated at his introductory press conference. “I grew up watching Penn State football and now to be at the helm of such a storied program is a tremendous honor. It’s important to me to be a part of a University that strives for ex cellence in everything they do. When football student-athletes come to Penn State, they have a unique opportunity to receive a premium education while playing at the highest level of competition.

“I’m incredibly ex cited to get to know the students, alumni, and fans who have demonstrated such loyalty to the University as a whole and to the football program in particular,” Franklin added. “I’ve worked my way through every division of football and no other school boasts a fan base like we do. We Are...Penn State!!”

“Our primary focus was to identify someone who shared our commitment to integrity, academics and winning championships,” then-Director of Athletics Dave Joyner said at Franklin’s introductory news conference. “Coach Franklin is a highly regarded coach and tremendous leader, but more importantly, he shares the same vision for Penn State football that we, and our fans, have for the program. His record shows that he takes great pride in the academic and athletic success of his student-athletes.”

Following spring practice and individual meetings with every player in 2014, Franklin spent a good portion of the month of May criss-crossing the Commonwealth and Mid-Atlantic region on the Penn State Coaches Caravan. Attending all 17 Caravan events, Franklin met and spoke with more than 6,000 Penn State alumni, students, fans and former players in Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Washington, D.C. He did more than 50 interviews with local and national media over the three weeks to assist in introducing himself to Penn Staters and potential recruits and spreading his core values and vision of Penn State football.

Franklin directed Vanderbilt to consecutive Top 25 finishes for the first time in the 124-year history of the program. The Commodores finished the 2013 season No. 24 in the Associated Press poll and No. 23 in the USA Today Coaches survey. The 2012 Vanderbilt squad finished No. 23 and 20, respectively, marking its first AP final ranking since 1948. Franklin’s 24 wins tied Dan McGugin for the most by a Vanderbilt coach in his first three seasons.

Franklin led Vanderbilt to a bowl game in each of his three seasons in Nashville, with the last two years resulting in wins over North Carolina State (Music City Bowl) and Houston (BBVA Compass Bowl). The Commodores had played in four bowl games all-time in the 121 seasons prior to his arrival, none in consecutive years.

Vanderbilt has posted four nine-win seasons in program history, with Franklin’s last two teams comprising half of the total. Over the last 20 games during the 2012-13 seasons, the Commodores’ 16-4 record was second-best in the SEC to Alabama’s 17-3 mark.

Franklin inherited a Vanderbilt team that finished 2-10 in both 2009 and 2010, including a 1-15 SEC mark. From 1983-2010, the Commodores had just one winning season (2008) prior to his arrival. His drive, coaching acumen and enthusiasm drove a quick turnaround in Vanderbilt’s fortunes, as the team posted a 6-6 regular-season record and earned a berth in the Liberty Bowl during his first season. The 2011 bowl berth was Vanderbilt’s second since 1983 and running back Zac Stacy broke the Commodores’ season record with 1,193 rushing yards.

The Commodores had a breakthrough campaign in 2012 under Franklin, finishing on a seven-game

winning streak (longest since 1948) to post a 9-4 mark, Vanderbilt’s most wins in 97 years. A victory at Missouri sparked an 8-1 finish, which included three consecutive SEC road wins for the first time in program history. The Commodores were 5-3 in SEC play, winning five SEC games for the first time since 1935, and posted two shutouts for the first time since 1968. Vanderbilt defeated N.C. State, 38-24, in the Music City Bowl and Franklin was among five finalists for the Bear Bryant National Coach-of-the-Year. Stacy became the first player in Vanderbilt history to rush for 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons, gaining 1,141 yards to finish with a school-record 3,143 yards and 30 rushing touchdowns. Stacy started 12 games and ran for 973 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie with the St. Louis Rams in 2013. Wide receiver Jordan Matthews broke the Vanderbilt season receiving record with 1,363 yards on 94 catches.

Vanderbilt continued its historic rise under Franklin during the 2013 season, capping a school-record second consecutive 9-4 campaign with a 41-24 win over Houston in the BBVA Compass Bowl.

SCORING SUMMARY

DUBLIN, Ireland — Senior Sam Ficken’s 36-yard field goal as time ex pired capped a memorable ending to a historic day in Penn State football history, as the Nittany Lions claimed a 26-24 victory over UCF in the Croke Park Classic to open their 2014 campaign.

It was the second game-ending kick in Ficken’s career (Wisconsin, 2012) and gave head coach James Franklin his first win as the head coach of the Nittany Lion program.

Sophomore Christian Hackenberg threw for a school-record 454 yards on a career-high 32 completions on 47 attempts in the game. He became the first player in school history to throw for 400 yards, breaking Zack Mills’ record of 399 yards against Iowa in 2002.

Redshirt freshman wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton was on the receiving end of a freshman-record 11 of those passes and amassed a rookie-record 165 yards. He topped Deon Butler’s 125 yards against Wisconsin in 2005 and moved past Maurice Humphrey’s eight catches against Northwestern in 2003.

Geno Lewis set career-highs with eight catches for 173 yards against the Knights, including a personal-best 79-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter. The 79-yard pass play also was the longest of Hackenberg’s career.

The Penn State 2,000-yard rushing club gained a member in Dublin, as senior Zach Zwinak’s 32 yards on the day pushed his career total to 2,028. He passed Franco Harris for 17th on the all-time charts.

The day, however, would belong to Ficken, who made a career-best four field goals, going 4-for-4 in the game. He connected on attempts of 22, 33, 24 and 36 yards. Ficken’s four field goals were the most since Collin Wagner had five successful attempts against Temple in 2010.

Brian Gaia, Hamilton, Brendan Mahon, Angelo Mangiro and Andrew Nelson all made their first career starts, while 12 players made their first career appearances against the Knights.

Of the 12 first-time participants, five were true freshmen: Marcus Allen, Saeed Blacknall, Chris Godwin, Mike Gesicki, Grant Haley.

Penn State received the Dan Rooney Trophy, a football made of ancient Irish bog wood and steel from the construction of Heinz Field that was specially commissioned for the game.

Penn State ended the first half up 10-3, as both teams looked a little jet-lagged in what was the first overseas game in either school’s history.

The Nittany Lions’ opening drive was ex tended by a roughing-the-kicker penalty, then Hackenberg dropped a 44-yard pass between two defenders to Hamilton. Zwinak punched the ball in from the 1-yard line to put Penn State up 7-0.

A 68-yard kickoff return by Jordan Akins gave UCF the ball on Penn State’s 23, but the Nittany Lions held on fourth-and-goal on the Penn State 1-yard line. The defense made four stops inside their own 4-yard line on the goal line stand.

UCF cornerback Jacoby Glenn made a diving interception on Hackenberg’s nex t possession, but the Knights could manage only a 36-yard Shawn Moffitt field goal to make the score 10-3.

Justin Holman entered the game for UCF in the second half and ran for two touchdowns, the first a 1-yard plunge to pull UCF within 13-10 with 2:39 left in the third quarter.

Holman also threw for a touchdown, a 10-yarder to Josh Reese with 11:31 left in the game to narrow Penn State’s lead to 20-17.

Between those two UCF scores, Hackenberg pulled off the longest play of the game. On third-and-17 deep in his own half, he lobbed a bomb to Lewis, who ran untouched for a 79-yard score.

UCF’s defense forced Penn State to settle for a third field goal with 3:30 left to make it 23-17.

Holman, who finished 9-of-14 for 204 yards, then led the Knights down the field — straight into a fourth-and-10 crisis on the Penn State 37.

Holman connected on a long pass down the left sideline, a leaping grab by Reese at the Penn State 6. Holman scored on the ground the nex t play, leaving too much time on the clock for Hackenberg, who led the Nittany Lions down the field to set up Ficken’s 36-yard boot.

Hackenberg was 4-of-6 passing for 47 yards and ran for eight yards on the final drive of the game.

SCORING SUMMARY

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Junior tight end Jesse James corralled two touchdown catches and the Nittany Lion defense swarmed for seven tackles for a loss, including four sacks, as Penn State improved to 2-0 with a 21-3 victory over Akron.

James finished with 57 yards on two catches, both of which went for touchdowns. It was the first time in James’ career that he logged two touchdown catches in a game and brought his career total to 10.

Sophomore quarterback Christian Hackenberg passed for 319 yards and three touchdowns. With his performance, Hackenberg broke the Penn State record for most passing yards in consecutive games. His 773 passing yards in the first two games of the season surpass the mark of 686 set by Zach Mills in 2002.

Redshirt sophomore wide receiver Geno Lewis had another solid outing with six catches for 98 yards, while redshirt freshman wideout DaeSean Hamilton pulled in seven throws for 69 yards. Akeel Lynch paced the ground game with 45 yards. Bill Belton added 36 rushing yards and four catches for 49 yards and a touchdown.

Defensively, the Nittany Lions held the Zips to 69 rushing yards and 208 in total offense. Redshirt senior linebacker Mike Hull was the heartbeat of the Penn State defense with 11 tackles, including a sack, for his second-straight double-digit tackle performance. Junior cornerback Jordan Lucas notched seven tackles and had his second career sack.

The Zips sprinted out of the gates needing just seven plays to move into a first-and-goal situation at the Penn State 7. However, a quarterback pressure by Anthony Zettel forced an incomplete pass and back-to-back sacks by Zettel and Lucas forced Akron into a 31-yard field goal attempt by Tom O’Leary, which sailed wide left to keep the game scoreless. Penn State collected a pair of first downs in its first four plays of the drive, but was unable to capitalize on the Zips’ miscue.

After forcing a three-and-out, the Nittany Lions quickly went on the attack as they put together a four-play, 58-yard drive. Hackenberg opened the drive by finding Lewis for 20 yards. After a 1-yard run by Zack Zwinak, Hamilton pulled in a 15-yard toss from Hackenberg. The Nittany Lions got on the scoreboard as Hackenberg found Belton for a 22-yard

touchdown completion to give Penn State a 7-0 lead with less than three minutes left in the first quarter.

Neither team could sustain much offensive momentum for the remainder of the first half as the Nittany Lions went into the break with a 7-0 lead.

In its first possession of the second half, Akron took advantage of a drive starting from the Penn State 41. The Zips moved the ball into field goal range and connected on a 28-yard kick to cut the Nittany Lions’ lead to 7-3 with 11:11 left in the third quarter.

The Nittany Lions found an offensive rhythm with a 10-play, 79-yard drive over a 5:26 span to ex tend their advantage with a 13-yard touchdown pass from Hackenberg to James for the 14-3 lead with 2:38 remaining in the third. Hackenberg was stellar on the drive, connecting on all six of his passes for a total of 81 yards.

The Penn State defense held strong and forced an Akron punt on the ensuing possession.

The Nittany Lions took over at their own 20 and moved the ball well on the ground to the Akron 16. However, Hackenberg was intercepted by Bre’ Ford at the 2-yard line. Ford then returned it 51 yards to the Penn State 45 with 10:58 remaining.

The Lion D held strong again, forcing a turnover on downs that included a stop for a 2-yard loss on fourth-and-1 by C.J. Olyanian and Brandon Bell.

On the ensuing possession, Penn State started the drive with a 1-yard rush by Zwinak and added a 15-yard facemask penalty on the end of the run. Hackenberg then found James for his second score of the day on a 44-yard pitch-and-catch to give the Nittany Lions the 21-3 lead with 8:58 remaining.

SCORING SUMMARY

PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Senior Bill Belton scored on a 5-yard run up the middle with 1:13 left to play to give the Nittany Lions a 13-10 lead, completing a Penn State comeback from a 10-point halftime deficit. An interception by senior Ryan Keiser, the Nittany Lions’ fifth pick of the night, sealed the victory at High Point Solutions Stadium.

Penn State was 3-0 to start a season for the first time since 2009 and the 52nd time in school history. Head coach James Franklin became the sixth first-year Penn State coach to start 3-0.

The Blue and White also improved to 23-2 all-time against Rutgers and won the first Big Ten match-up between the schools.

The Nittany Lions’ offense gained 373 total yards, including 309 through the air as sophomore quarterback Christian Hackenberg completed 25-of-44 passes, including three-of-four on the game-winning drive.

It marked the seventh time in his career that Hackenberg had thrown for over 300 yards. He secured the school-record mark only 15 games into his career, breaking a tie with Matt McGloin (2009-12). Hackenberg also became the first Nittany Lion signal-caller to throw for 300 yards in three consecutive games in a season.

Penn State allowed 294 yards, forced five interceptions and recorded three sacks.

Junior cornerback Trevor Williams picked off two passes, while Keiser, Adrian Amos and Brandon Bell all recorded an interception. Defensive tackle Anthony Zettel had three tackles for loss, including a sack.

The Nittany Lions gave up only three first downs and 95 yards in the second half, allowing for the comeback.

Senior Sam Ficken hit field goals of 32 and 25 yards in the second half. Ficken was tied with Colin Wagner (2007-10) for ninth on the career list.

Freshman DaeSean Hamilton and sophomore Geno Lewis both topped 100 yards receiving. Hamilton hauled in eight passes for 103 yards, while Lewis had six receptions for 109. It marked the second time in 2014 that the duo both eclipsed 100 yards receiving in a game.

Belton caught four passes for 52 yards to go along with 36 yards rushing on 15 carries. Seven Nittany Lions caught a pass.

Senior linebacker Mike Hull led the defense with nine tackles, including six solo. Williams added five stops to his first career multi-interception performance. With three tackles for loss, Zettel moved

his season total to seven, which tied his season career-high for TFL.

Amos’ interception was the fifth of his career. The Williams and Amos picks came on back-to-back passes by Rutgers quarterback Gary Nova in the first quarter.

After Amos’ interception, the Nittany Lions drove the ball to the Rutgers’ 17-yard line, but Ficken’s 34-yard attempt was blocked by Kemoko Turay.

Rutgers capitalized on the nex t possession with a 10-play, 80-yard drive that ended with a 14-yard touchdown run by Nova with 11:32 left in the first half.

After the teams traded punts, the Scarlet Knights started with the ball on their own eight-yard line. A 14-play, 78-yard drive ended with a Kyle Federico 32-yard field goal to give Rutgers a 10-0 lead at the break.

The Nittany Lions got on the board in the third quarter with a 32-yard field goal by Ficken. On the second play of the drive, Hackenberg hit Belton for an 18-yard completion, one of three completions over 10 yards on the drive. Consecutive completions to freshman Chris Godwin and another to Hamilton got Penn State down to the Rutgers 14-yard line. Ficken’s kick completed a 13-play, 72-yard drive.

A 47-yard pass to Hamilton at the end of the third quarter jump-started another scoring drive. The reception got the Nittany Lions down to the Rutgers 26-yard line. Three runs by Bill Belton and completions to Belton and Mike Gesicki set up a 25-yard kick for Ficken, finishing a nine-play, 68-yard drive.

With 3:02 left in the game, the Nittany Lions started with the ball at their own 20-yard line. On the first play of the drive, Hackenberg hit Lewis on a comeback route. Lewis broke a tackle and took the ball 53 yards, down to the Rutgers 27-yard line. Two plays later, Hackenberg hit Hamilton on an 8-yard strike. A holding penalty brought the ball back to the Rutgers 29-yard line, but Hackenberg responded by completing a 23-yard toss to Lewis. With the ball at the Rutgers 6-yard line, Belton was held to a 1-yard gain on his first rushing attempt. On the nex t play, Belton took a hand off up the middle into the end zone to give Penn State its first lead of the game. The run capped a six-play, 80-yard drive in only 1:51.

It was Hackenberg’s fourth comeback win in the fourth quarter or overtime in his 15-game career.

Rutgers’ final possession began with Zettel sacking Nova for an 8-yard loss and, on fourth-and-12, Keiser intercepted Nova to seal the win.

SCORING SUMMARY

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Nittany Lions used a balanced offensive attack and relentless defense on the way to a 48-7 win over Massachsuetts in front of 99,155 fans at Beaver Stadium. The Nittany Lions rushed for 228 yards, led by Bill Belton, who scored twice and had 76 yards on seven carries. Zach Zwinak also scored twice, while Akeel Lynch added a team-best 81 yards and one touchdown.

Christian Hackenberg threw for 179 yards to lead the air attack. Redshirt freshman D.J. Crook saw his first collegiate action, going six -for-nine for 57 yards and a touchdown. Geno Lewis continued his strong start with five catches for 82 yards, while DaeSean Hamilton added four catches for 65 yards.

The Nittany Lion defense was stellar, holding UMass to 3 yards rushing thanks in part to 10 tackles for a loss, including three sacks. The 3 rushing yards allowed were the fewest since the Nittany Lions held Notre Dame without a rushing yard in 2007. Mike Hull led the unit again with six tackles and one forced fumble, while Nyeem Wartman added five stops.

Placekicker Sam Ficken connected on field goals of 42 and 40 yards and moved into a tie for eighth place on Penn State’s career field goals list with Nick Gancitano (1981-84). Ficken had 38 career field goals. Additionally, Ficken became the 11th player in school history with 200 points. He moved into eighth in program history with 207 points.

Penn State improved to 4-0 for the first time since 2008. Head coach James Franklin became the first Penn State first-year coach to start 4-0 since Dick Harlow in 1915.

After the Minutemen missed a 39-yard field goal, Penn State put together a 53-yard drive over 15 plays that led to a 42-yard field goal by Ficken. Belton had the key play of the drive with a 14-yard run on second down to position the Nittany Lions for the field goal.

The Penn State defense forced a three-and-out on the nex t UMass drive and Lynch reeled off a 46-yard run, the Lions’ longest rush of the season to that point, to kick-start the Penn State drive. The Lions advanced the ball 4 more yards before yielding to Ficken for his second field goal of the game, this time from 40 yards out, to take a 6-0 lead with 2:38 left in the first quarter.

After a turnover on downs for the Minutemen, the Penn State offense was clicking on all cylinders as the Lions turned in an eight-play, 69-yard drive. Hackenberg threw for 39 yards and Belton rushed for 30 yards, capped off with a 24-yard run for his second

rushing touchdown of the season to give Penn State a 13-0 lead with 10:11 remaining in the second quarter.

On the ensuing UMass drive, Hull forced a fumble by Tajae Sharp and it was recovered by Austin Johnson to give the Nittany Lions the ball at the UMass 20. On the second play from scrimmage, Belton found a gap and ran 20 yards to paydirt and a 20-0 Penn State lead with 8:48 remaining in the first half.

The Nittany Lion defense continued to impress as Tarow Barney sacked and stripped UMass quarterback Blake Frohnapfel on third down to force another Minuteman punt. After advancing the ball to the Penn State 45, Hackenberg hit Lewis for a 38-yard completion to move to the UMass 10. Following an illegal procedure penalty on the Minutemen, Zwinak scampered in from 5 yards out for the touchdown with 3:37 left in the opening half.

Following a three-and-out for UMass, the Nittany Lions capped the first-half scoring with Zwinak’s second touchdown of the half on a 1-yard run to make it 34-0 Penn State with 1:24 on the clock. Hackenberg hit Hamilton for 35 yards and Lewis for 11 yards to propel the drive for the Lions. The 28 points scored by the Nittany Lions in the second quarter were the most for a Penn State team since notching 28 in the third quarter against Michigan in 2009.

Penn State picked up in the second half where it left off in the first with a defensive three-and-out to open the frame. In the first offensive series of the second half, Hackenberg rushed for a career-long 17 yards on third-and-12 to keep the Penn State drive alive. Lynch then rushed for 13 yards on three carries before Hackenberg hit Hamilton for a 13-yard gain to the UMass 17. Lynch’s number was called again as he rushed for 2 yards and then broke free for a 15-yard touchdown run to give the Lions the 41-0 lead with 8:10 left in the third quarter.

The Lions added to their lead with D.J. Crook as he connected with Brent Wilkerson for an 11-yard touchdown catch to increase the lead to 48-0. Crook was four-for-six on the drive for 39 yards.

The Minutemen got on the board to open the fourth quarter with a 77-yard touchdown to cut the Penn State lead to 48-7.

SCORING SUMMARY

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Senior linebacker Mike Hull recorded a then-career-high 16 tackles, including one for a loss, but Penn State dropped a 29-6 decision to Northwestern. The homecoming contest brought in a then-season-high 102,910 fans to Beaver Stadium.

With his performance, Hull surpasses his previous personal-best of 13 stops set against Illinois on Nov. 2, 2013. Freshman linebacker Jason Cabinda finished second on the team with eight tackles in his collegiate debut. Junior defensive end Deion Barnes added six tackles, including his fourth sack of the season.

Senior kicker Sam Ficken accounted for all of Penn State’s points with a pair of field goals to move him into a tie for fifth place in school history for career field goals with Massimo Manca (1982, 1984-86). Ficken ended the day with 40 career field goals.

Sophomore Christian Hackenberg threw for 216 yards for his seventh 200-yard game in his last eight outings. Freshman receiver DaeSean Hamilton pulled in six passes for 100 yards. His 51-yard reception in the second quarter was a career-long catch. It was Hamilton’s third 100-yard receiving performance in five career games.

On the opening drive, the Wildcats drove down to the Penn State 27-yard line, but a personal foul penalty on Northwestern backed the Wildcats up to the Penn State 42. The Nittany Lion defense made three consecutive stops and forced Northwestern into a 44-yard field goal attempt, which went wide right.

After a three-and-out for the Lions, Northwestern’s Miles Shuler returned a punt 42 yards to put the Wildcats in prime position to start their nex t drive at the Penn State 31. On third-and-eight, Trevor Siemian found Mike McHugh for a 28-yard gain to the 1-yard line and Siemian ran it in for the score on the nex t play to put Northwestern up 7-0 with 9:29 left in the first quarter.

Northwestern engineered another drive, going 60 yards in 10 plays for another Siemian touchdown from 1-yard out to make it 14-0 with 3:59 left in the opening quarter. The Wildcats again started in great field position, taking over at the Penn State 29. Siemian found Mark Stotz for a 22-yard pitch-and-

catch to the Penn State 7. The Nittany Lion defense stood tall and stopped the Wildcats on a fake field goal to take over on downs.

Neither team could sustain offensive momentum in the second quarter until Penn State’s final drive of the half. Hackenberg led the Lions on a 10-play, 55-yard drive that resulted in a 42-yard field goal by Ficken with five seconds left in the half. Hackenberg threw for 45 yards and rushed for 5 on the drive. The squads hit the locker rooms with Penn State trailing 14-3.

After the teams swapped drives to open the second half, Jesse Della Valle returned the Northwestern punt 41 yards to the Wildcats 30. Hackenberg found Akeel Lynch for 11 yards, which led to a 36-yard field goal by Ficken to cut the deficit to 14-6 with 11:17 left in the third quarter.

On the ensuing Northwestern possession, Adrian Amos picked off Siemian’s pass deep in Nittany Lion territory to foil a Wildcat drive. Hackenberg opened the drive with a 3-yard rush and followed it with a 29-yard pass to Hamilton to continue the offensive momentum. The Nittany Lions would advance to the Northwestern 35-yard line, but turned the ball over on downs.

The fourth quarter opened with Hackenberg being intercepted by Anthony Walker, who returned it 49 yards for the touchdown. However, the Wildcats missed the ex tra point to take a 20-6, just 11 seconds into the fourth quarter.

On the first play of Penn State’s next possession, Hackenberg was sacked and fumbled, which was recovered by Northwestern at the Penn State 15. The Wildcats advanced the ball 8 yards and converted on a 23-yard field goal to increase the margin to 23-6 with 13:06 left.

Another rushing touchdown for Siemian in the fourth quarter ex tended the Wildcats’ lead, but the ex tra point failed again to make the final margin 29-6.

SCORING SUMMARY

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Penn State scored on its first three possessions and took a 13-7 lead in the second quarter on a 10-yard strike from sophomore Christian Hackenberg to redshirt freshman DaeSean Hamilton, but Michigan scored the final 11 points of the game to win 18-13 in Ann Arbor.

The loss snapped the Nittany Lions’ four-game winning streak against Michigan and ended a three-game victory streak in games away from Beaver Stadium.

Penn State gained 214 total yards, including 160 through the air. Hackenberg completed 21-of-32 passes, with a touchdown and an interception.

Senior Bill Belton gained 69 yards rushing on 14 carries, including a then-season-long 31-yard run on the opening drive, and added four catches for 26 yards.

Hamilton led the Nittany Lion receivers with seven receptions for 58 yards and his first career touchdown. Hamilton was one of seven players to catch a pass.

With 43 receptions, Hamilton broke the freshman record for receptions in a season, topping 37 catches by Deon Butler in 2005.

Senior Sam Ficken connected on 35- and 32-yard kicks in the first quarter and moved into sole possession of fifth place on the career field goals made list, passing Massimo Manca.

Penn State held the Wolverines to just 256 yards, including just 64 rushing, and 12 first downs.

Linebacker Mike Hull once again led the team in tackles with 11, including eight solo and 2.0 for loss. Hull added a sack and a pass breakup. Hull hit the double-digit tackle mark for the second straight game and fourth time in the season, leading the Nittany Lions in tackles in each of the team’s first six games.

Defensive end Anthony Zettel picked off a pass for his second career interception. Each of his first two career picks came against the Wolverines, with the first coming in the 43-40 four-overtime win in Beaver Stadium in 2013.

The Nittany Lions got their opening drive jump-started with a 31-yard run by Belton on the third play of the drive. Belton also had a 13-yard burst and a 10-yard reception to help Penn State reach the Michigan 7-yard line. Ficken hit a 35-yard kick to give Penn State the first points of the game.

However, the Wolverines responded with their own scoring drive. Quarterback Devin Gardner went four-for-four on the drive,

with his final completion a 43-yard touchdown pass to Devin Funchess, who came up with the ball after safety Ryan Keiser narrowly missed grabbing an interception.

Belton got the Nittany Lions going again, starting the second drive of the night with a 9-yard run. He ran the ball on four straight plays to start the drive and also grabbed an 11-yard pass to set up Penn State in Michigan territory. Back-to-back 13-yard completions to Hamilton moved the ball to the Michigan 23-yard line. The Nittany Lions gained 8 more yards on the drive and with 52 seconds left in the opening quarter, Ficken drilled a 32-yard kick to pull the Nittany Lions within one, 7-6.

Zettel’s interception on the nex t Michigan possession set up another scoring drive for Penn State. Starting with the ball at Michigan’s 28-yard line, Hackenberg connected with Hamilton for a 20-yard pass to open the drive. On third-and-goal from the Michigan 10, Hackenberg found Hamilton again, this time in the end zone, to give Penn State a 13-7 lead early in the second quarter.

On the following drive, Gardner connected with four different receivers as he drove Michigan down to the Penn State 28-yard line. Matt Wile hit a 45-yard field goal to narrow the Nittany Lion lead to three.

Penn State would enter halftime with a 13-10 advantage. A Jourdan Lewis interception set up the Wolverines at Penn

State’s 28-yard line with 4:02 left in the third quarter. After a pair of runs and an incomplete pass, Wile connected on a 42-yard field goal attempt to tie the game at 13.

Michigan’s opening drive of the fourth quarter featured a 24-yard completion to Devin Norfleet and Wile would hit his third field goal of the day, a 37-yard kick, with 11:24 left in the quarter to move Michigan ahead, 16-13.

Backed up inside their own 3-yard line with 1:41 left in the game, the Nittany Lions decided to take a safety to give them an opportunity to get the ball back.

The Nittany Lions attempted an onside kick and Mike Hull recovered it, but Penn State was called for an offsides penalty. Michigan would recover the second attempt and seal the win with four straight run plays.

SCORING SUMMARY

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The packed Penn State White Out crowd of 107,895 watched as senior linebacker Mike Hull and junior defensive end Anthony Zettel paced a fantastic Penn State defensive effort as the Nittany Lions battled No. 13 Ohio State in a double-overtime thriller. The Buckeyes used a 4-yard run from J.T. Barrett in the second overtime to secure the 31-24 victory.

Hull made a career-high 19 tackles, including 2.5 for a loss, and nabbed his second career interception to lead the defensive effort. Hull’s 19 stops are the most by a Penn State player since Gerald Hodges made 19 against Illinois in 2011.

Zettel grabbed his second interception of the season and returned it 40 yards for the first touchdown of his career. In his first career start, Marcus Allen was solid with 11 tackles and two pass breakups, while sophomore Brandon Bell added 13 tackles, including a sack for a 7-yard loss.

Redshirt freshman DaeSean Hamilton broke the Penn State game record for receptions with 14 catches for 126 yards. He topped the record of 13 catches held by Freddie Scott against Wisconsin in 1995.

Sophomore quarterback Christian Hackenberg was 31-for-49 for 224 yards and a touchdown. Freshman receiver Saeed Blacknall pulled in his first career touchdown and finished with four catches for 34 yards.

The Buckeyes’ first possession started in Penn State territory after an interception of Hackenberg by Vonn Bell at the Penn State 39. Ohio State needed just seven plays to score, capped off by a 10-yard run by Ezekiel Elliot for the touchdown and a 7-0 lead for the Buckeyes less than five minutes into the game.

After an ex change of three-and-outs, the Nittany Lions put together a seven-play, 37-yard drive, but were forced to punt. Ohio State took over at their own 9-yard line and drove down to the Penn State 17-yard line before the raucous crowd forced the Buckeyes into a pair of false start penalties, a timeout and a sack to help hold Ohio State to a 49-yard field goal by Sean Nuernberger to extend the Buckeyes’ lead to 10-0 with 11:07 left in the second quarter.

Ohio State again started in prime field position at the Penn State 39 after a Nittany Lion punt. The Buckeyes needed six plays to reach the end zone via a 1-yard pass from J.T. Barrett to Jeff Heuerman to make it 17-0 with 3:58 remaining in the opening half.

The Buckeyes opened the second half with the ball and after modest gains on their first two plays, Zettel intercepted Barrett and

returned it 40 yards for the touchdown to make it a 17-7 game with 13:37 remaining in the third quarter. It is the first interception returned for a touchdown for the Nittany Lions since NaVorro Bowman had a pick-six against Indiana in 2009. The interception was the second of the season for Zettel and third of his career.

After an ex change of possessions, the Buckeyes methodically marched down the field over 12 plays, but Nuernberger’s 41-yard field goal attempt went wide right to keep the margin at 10 with 5:09 remaining in the third quarter.

Hull nabbed his first interception of the season and second of his career to jump-start the Penn State offense and the sold out Beaver Stadium crowd. After a first down via a roughing the passer penalty, Akeel Lynch clicked off runs of 8 and 4 yards to push the Lions to the Ohio State 28. Hackenberg completed passes to Blacknall for 3 yards and Chris Godwin for 1 yard to move to the 24-yard line. On the ensuing play, Hackenberg found Blacknall for a 24-yard leaping grab for his first career touchdown to make it 17-14 Ohio State with 11:08 left in the contest.

The Penn State defense held strong as the clock wound down in the fourth quarter and forced a punt with 2:58 remaining. Hackenberg came out strong and marched the Lions down the field in an 18-play drive, going nine-of-13 for 63 yards with two rushes for 6 yards to put Penn State in field goal position. Ficken connected on a 31-yard field goal to cap the drive with nine seconds remaining to tie the game at 17-17.

Ohio State won the toss in the first overtime and elected to start on defense. A 12-yard pitch-and-catch from Hackenberg to Hamilton highlighted the Penn State overtime drive that ended with a 1-yard run by Bill Belton for the touchdown and a 24-17 lead for Penn State, the first of the game for the Lions.

The Buckeyes responded with a 5-yard TD run by Barrett to force a second overtime period. During the ex tra point, Penn State was flagged for leaping, a penalty that was assessed on the Buckeyes’ possession in the second overtime.

It took just three plays for the Buckeyes, who started from the 12-yard line, to score a touchdown on a 4-yard run by Barrett and take a 31-24 lead. Penn State advanced the ball 5 yards on its possession, but a sack of Hackenberg on fourth down ended the game and sealed the win for the Buckeyes.

SCORING SUMMARY

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Senior kicker Sam Ficken connected on four field goals, including three from beyond 46 yards, and the Penn State defense held Maryland to 196 yards of total offense, but Brad Craddock’s 43-yard field goal in the final minute lifted the Terps to a 20-19 win over the Nittany Lions.

With the effort, Ficken moved into a tie for third on Penn State’s career field goals list with 47 (Travis Forney; 1996-99).

The Penn State defense was stellar yet again, holding Maryland to just 35 net rushing yards, recording six sacks and three turnovers. Freshman Marcus Allen posted his second-straight double-digit tackle performance with 11 stops, including his first career sack. Senior Mike Hull continued his solid play with nine tackles, including five solo, and a fumble recovery, while Austin Johnson added six tackles with a sack. Deion Barnes also stood out with two sacks and a forced fumble.

Redshirt freshman DaeSean Hamilton had five catches for 42 yards. With his performance, Hamilton broke the Penn State freshman season receiving yardage record set by Deon Butler (691) in 2005. Hamilton ended the game with 728 receiving yards on the season.

Jesse James scored the lone touchdown for the Nittany Lions on an 8-yard grab. He snagged five catches for 48 yards, including a long of 20 yards.

The Nittany Lion offense came out of the gates strong with a 14-yard return by Grant Haley on the kickoff. Christian Hackenberg found a rhythm as he completed five-of-six pass attempts to lead Penn State on a nine-play, 36-yard drive that resulted in a 47-yard field goal by Ficken for the 3-0 lead with 11 minutes left in the opening half.

The teams ex changed possession over the nex t 10 minutes until Maryland took advantage of good starting field position at the Penn State 43 to put together an eight-play 43-yard drive that ended with a 2-yard touchdown pass from C.J. Brown to P.J. Gallo to give the Terps a 7-3 lead with 13:52 left in the second quarter.

Neither team would score on their nex t two opportunities until the Nittany Lions started a drive on their own 43. Penn State went to the run game to move the ball to the Maryland 8-yard line and produce a 25-yard Ficken field goal to cut the deficit to one point (7-6) with five minutes left in the first half.

The Penn State defense came out strong on the ensuing Maryland possession, forcing a three-and-out that included a sack for Barnes. The Nittany Lions took over on the Maryland 45 and

got an 8-yard run from Belton and a 9-yard catch by Hamilton to advance the ball to the Maryland 29. Ficken converted on a 46-yard field goal, his third of the game and second from beyond 46 yards, to give Penn State the 9-7 lead with 1:30 left in the second quarter.

Neither team could sustain offensive momentum to start the second half. Anthony Zettel hit Wes Brown in the backfield and forced a fumble, which was recovered by C.J. Olaniyan to give the Nittany Lions the ball at their own 49-yard line. Hackenberg marched the offense down the field, going six-for-six for 54 yards and found James for an 8-yard touchdown catch to extend Penn State’s lead to 16-7 with 3:18 left in the third quarter. Hamilton nabbed two passes for 27 yards and Kyle Carter had two catches for 21 yards during the eight-play, 51-yard drive.

The Terrapins responded with a drive of their own, going seven plays for 48 yards down to the Penn State 1-yard line before settling for a 25-yard field goal to make it a 16-10 Penn State lead with 13:11 remaining in the game.

On the ensuing kickoff, Haley fumbled and Maryland recovered the ball at the Penn State 24. The Nittany Lion defense pushed Maryland back with a 10-yard sack by Johnson on the opening play of the drive. However, Brown hit Amba Etta-Tawo for a 25-yard gain and then found Stefon Diggs for an 8-yard catch to put the Terps on the end zone’s doorstep. On the nex t play, Wes Brown punched it in from the half-yard line to give Maryland the 17-16 lead with 11:30 left in the fourth quarter.

Following an ex change of possessions, the Penn State offense took the field with 9:39 remaining. After an illegal procedure penalty, Hackenberg rushed for a career-long 17-yard gain for a first down near midfield. The Nittany Lions retreated on their next two plays to the Penn State 35. On third-and-23 Hackenberg found Lewis for a 33-yard gain to the Maryland 32. Penn State advanced the ball 1 yard before Ficken hit his fourth field goal of the day from 48 yards with 6:52 remaining to give the Nittany Lions a 19-17 lead.

Penn State was forced to punt with 1:06 on the clock and Diggs returned the ball to the Penn State 42. The Terps got a pass from C.J. Brown to Wes Brown for a 13-yard gain on first down and followed that with a pair of 2-yard runs by Wes Brown to set up a 43-yard field goal by Craddock to give Maryland the 20-19 lead.

The Nittany Lions had one last opportunity, but were unable to record a first down and turned the ball over on downs to the Terps.

SCORING SUMMARY

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Senior Bill Belton bolted through a crease up the middle, side-stepped one defender and was off on a 92-yard touchdown run that propelled Penn State to a 13-7 victory over Indiana at Memorial Stadium.

Belton ended the afternoon with 137 yards to post his fourth career 100-yard rushing effort. His 92-yard touchdown scamper marked the longest rushing score in school history by one player and is tied for the longest offensive touchdown in Penn State history (Higgins to Hess at Pittsburgh, 1919).

It was the longest rush in the Big Ten in the 2014 season and is tied for ninth longest in Big Ten history.

Sam Ficken added two field goals and an extra point, moving into a tie for fifth place on the Penn State career scoring charts with Lydell Mitchell (1969-71) with 276 points.

The defense stood tall against the nation’s leading rusher, Tevin Coleman, who entered the afternoon averaging 162.5 yards per game on the ground. Coleman logged just 71 yards and finished with less than 100 rushing yards for the first time in 10 games.

The defense piled up 10.0 tackles for loss and Anthony Zettel logged the only sack of the afternoon, his fifth of the season.

Safety Jesse Della Valle and linebacker Nyeem Wartman each grabbed their first career interceptions in the game.

Linebacker Mike Hull led all players with nine stops on the afternoon, leading the team in tackles for the eighth time in nine games. He had made at least nine stops in all nine games of the season to date.

Indiana defensive lineman Mark Murphy opened the scoring with an interception return for a touchdown in the second quarter. The 53-yard interception return gave the Hoosiers a 7-0 lead.

The lead didn’t last long, as Belton took the nex t play from scrimmage 92 yards to tie the game with 3:37 remaining in the half.

With Indiana looking to put points on the scoreboard before the half, Zander Diamont threw his first interception, a leaping grab by Della Valle along the Penn State sideline.

Ficken ex tended the Penn State lead to 10-7 with a 27-yard field goal midway through the third quarter and the Nittany Lion defense continued to hold the Hoosiers at bay.

Indiana’s Oakes Griffin missed a 51-yard field goal attempt with a chance to tie the game early in the fourth quarter.

After ex changing possessions over the nex t nine minutes, Penn State took over with 4:55 on the clock and an opportunity to burn time, but the Lions could only ex punge two minutes before Daniel Pasquariello booted his ninth punt of the day, which was downed at Indiana 22.

The Hoosiers would have 2:55 to get into field goal range to tie or score a touchdown to take the lead. On the second play of the drive, however, Wartman stepped in front of a Diamont pass and returned it 13 yards to set up Ficken’s 28-yard field goal with 55 seconds left in the game.

The Hoosiers had one last opportunity with 55 seconds on the clock, but the Penn State defense held on fourth-and-10 from the Indiana 33-yard line as the clock ex pired.

SCORING SUMMARY

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State used complementary football with stellar performances on both sides of the ball to post a 30-13 win over Temple to become bowl eligible for the first time since the 2011 season. The Nittany Lions rushed for a season-high 254 yards, led by Akeel Lynch and Bill Belton, while the defense forced five turnovers.

Lynch ran for 130 yards on 18 carries for an average of 7.2 yards. He also rushed for his first touchdown of the season and second of his career. The 254-yard team rushing total was the highest since a 289-yard afternoon against Purdue in 2013.

The defense’s five turnovers forced tied the season mark set against Rutgers. Seniors Adrian Amos and Jesse Della Valle and true freshmen Christian Campbell and Grant Haley each registered interceptions on the day.

Haley returned his first career pick 30 yards for the touchdown. His touchdown was the first defensive TD by a true freshman since Paul Posluszny returned an interception against Indiana Nov. 15, 2003. It also was the first interception returned for a TD since Anthony Zettel’s pick-six against Ohio State in October. Penn State’s defense notched two defensive scores in a season for the first time since 2009 when NaVorro Bowman had a pair of touchdowns (fumble return and interception).

Senior linebacker Mike Hull had his six th double-digit tackle performance of the season with 10 stops, including a half-tackle for a loss. With his effort, Hull moved into 10th place on Penn State’s career tackles chart with 265 tackles, passing Glen Carson (261, 2010-13) for the position. Zettel recorded his six th sack of the year with a stop for a 2-yard loss.

Senior kicker Sam Ficken connected on three field goal attempts, including a 50-yard attempt. It was the second make of Ficken’s career from beyond 50 yards, joining his 54-yarder against Kent State in 2013. With the two kicks, Ficken moved into second place on Penn State’s career field goals list with 52, passing Craig Fayak (50; 1990-93).

Ficken also moved up the school career scoring charts and into a tie for fourth place with Travis Forney (1996-99) with 258 career points.

The Penn State offense sprinted out of the gates, marching down to the Temple 8-yard line in just eight plays. Belton and Lynch combined for 32 rushing yards in the first eight plays. After a 1-yard loss, Belton advanced to the 3-yard line, but Penn State could not find the end zone and settled for a 29-yard Ficken field goal for the 3-0 lead midway through the first quarter.

The squads ex changed possessions before Temple found success through the air on the way to a game-tying field goal. P.J. Walker completed three passes for 36 yards on the drive that ended with a 31-yard field goal by Austin Jones with 2:27 left in the first quarter.

Neither team could establish offensive momentum as they combined for seven punts and an interception over the nex t eight drives. After forcing a Temple punt, Penn State took over at its own 12 and put together another long drive to end the half.

Christian Hackenberg hit Chris Godwin for a 21-yard completion to spark the drive. A 19-yard personal foul call and a 12-yard rush by Hackenberg advanced to the Temple 32. Hackenberg connected with Lynch for a 4-yard gain to set up a 50-yard field goal by Ficken to end the opening frame and give Penn State a 6-3 lead.

The Owls came out strong to open the second half with a nine-play, 48-yard drive. However, Austin Jones’ 42-yard field goal fell short to turn the ball over to the Lions at the Penn State 25.

A Todd Matakevich interception ended that drive, but the Nittany Lions held Temple to a 25-yard field goal by Jones to tie the game at 6-6 with 11:04 left in the third quarter.

Penn State responded with the run game on its ensuing possession. Belton opened the drive with a 37-yard run and Lynch followed with a 38-yard TD run to give the Nittany Lions a 13-6 lead.

After a 3-yard rush by Temple’s Jahad Thomas, Amos hauled in his team-high third interception of the season and returned it 33 yards to the Temple 8. On the first play from scrimmage, Belton ran it up the middle for the TD and a 20-6 Penn State lead with 5:19 left in the third. Unfazed by the turn of events, the Owls responded with a 75-yard pitch-and-catch from Walker to Jalen Fitzpatrick for a TD to cut the lead to 20-13.

The squads swapped possessions until Haley intercepted Walker and returned it 30 yards for the TD and a 27-13 Penn State lead with 13:57 left in the game. It was the first interception returned for a touchdown since Zettel’s pick-six against Ohio State in October.

The Penn State defense continued to shine as Austin Johnson recovered a fumble on the nex t Temple drive to give the Nittany Lions prime starting position at the Owls’ 23. Lynch ran for 20 yards on the drive, but Penn State was forced to settle for a 21-yard Ficken field goal for a 30-13 lead with 10:36 remaining.

The Temple offense again turned the ball over as Della Valle made a leaping interception and managed to get his elbow down inbounds before his momentum took him out of bounds. It was Della Valle’s second pick of the season. The Nittany Lions were unable to capitalize on the Della Valle interception as Ficken’s 42-yard field goal attempt was blocked. All four of Ficken’s misses to that point had been blocked.

Penn State’s defense forced the Owls to turn the ball over on downs and the offense ran the clock out to secure the 30-13 win to become bowl eligible.

SCORING SUMMARY

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — A 47-yard rushing touchdown by sophomore Akeel Lynch gave Penn State a 14-10 lead early in the fourth quarter, but Illinois placekicker David Reisner connected on a pair of fourth-quarter field goals, including the game-winner with just eight seconds left on the clock, to give Illinois a 16-14 victory inside Memorial Stadium.

The Nittany Lion defense limited Illinois to just 283 yards of total offense — their six th straight opponent held under 300 yards of total offense. On the season, Penn State had held 10 of its 11 opponents to under 300 yards of total offense.

Lynch topped his career-highs in rushing attempts (28) and rushing yardage (137) and his 47-yard touchdown run was a career-long carry. He eclipsed his previous career-best of 130 yards, which he set against Temple just one week prior.

The 100-yard rushing effort was the fourth of Lynch’s career and gave Penn State a 100-yard rusher for the third straight game. Bill Belton ran for 137 yards at Indiana, while Lynch logged 130 yards on the ground against Temple.

Sophomore Christian Hackenberg completed passes to seven individual receivers in the game, finding freshman Chris Godwin for an 18-yard scoring strike on the Nittany Lions’ opening drive of the game. It was the 28th career touchdown pass for Hackenberg and moved him into a tie for ninth with Tom Shuman (1972-74) on the Penn State career charts.

It was the first career touchdown grab for Godwin, who joins Saeed Blacknall as the only two true freshmen to catch touchdown passes in the 2014 season. The grab also ex tended Godwin’s streak to 11 straight games with at least one catch to open his career.

Senior Mike Hull piled up 10 tackles to lead all players in the contest and increased his season total to 121 stops. He moved into ninth place on the Penn State season charts, passing Dan Connor (113; 2006), Brian Gelzheiser (113; 1993), Gary Gray (115; 1971), Josh Hull (116; 2009), Paul Posluszny (116; 2005 & ‘06) and Dennis Onkotz (118; 1967).

Penn State forced a punt on the first six Illinois possessions, but could only capitalize with a score on one of the Nittany Lions’ ensuing drives.

The Nittany Lions opened the scoring with a nine-play, 52-yard touchdown drive that ended with Hackenberg finding Godwin in the back corner of the end zone for the score on third-and-nine.

Penn State looked primed to ex tend its lead on its nex t drive as the Nittany Lions drove to the Indiana 3-yard line, but the field goal attempt never materialized as the snap was bobbled and Illinois took over on downs.

The Illini capitalized on a Penn State mistake on the final drive of the first half. Illinois punted the ball on fourth-and-three, but an offsides against the Lions gave the Illini a new set of downs.

After a pair of runs by the Illini, quarterback Reilly O’Toole completed six of his nex t seven passes, including a 1-yarder to Matt LaCosse to knot the game at 7-7 heading into halftime.

The kickoff to open the half was knocked down by a stiff 19-mph wind, falling down at about the Penn State 20. Illinois’ Clayton Fejedelem recovered at the Nittany Lion 28 and four plays later Reisner kicked a 28-yard field goal for a 10-7 Illini lead.

Penn State recaptured the lead on Lynch’s 47-yard scamper with 13:37 to play in the fourth quarter, but Illinois trimmed the lead to 14-13 on Reisner’s second field goal of the game with 8:43 to play.

The Illini missed a potential 50-yard go-ahead field goal with 6:15 left to play in the game and Penn State took over.

On the ensuing drive, Hackenberg was just shy of the first down on a third-and-five rush and the Nittany Lions punted with 1:48 to play.

The Illini drive started at their own 28, but a pair of completions from O’Toole moved them to the Penn State 47. Josh Ferguson and Donovan Young carried the ball to the Penn State 18 to set up the game winning 36-yard field goal by Reisner.

SCORING SUMMARY

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State fell to No. 10 Michigan State, 34-10, to end the regular-season at Beaver Stadium.

With the help of a game-high 13 tackles from Mike Hull, Penn State held Michigan State to just 298 yards of total offense, 216.5 yards below the Spartans’ season average of 514.5 yards.

Sam Ficken kicked his 23rd field goal of the season late in the second quarter and moved into sole possession of the No. 1 spot on Penn State’s season field goals made chart, breaking a tie with Matt Bahr (1978) and Kevin Kelly (2006).

Prior to the game, Hull, Ficken and 15 of their fellow seniors were honored for their contributions to the program throughout their careers.

The Spartans scored on all three of their first-quarter drives, including a 90-yard kickoff return by R.J. Shelton to open the game. It was the first kickoff return for a touchdown by a Penn State opponent since Nov. 3, 2007, when Dorien Bryant of Purdue returned the ball 98 yards for the score.

Penn State took the ensuing possession 41 yards, punctuated by a 17-yard pass from Christian Hackenberg to DaeSean Hamilton, who finished the day with a game-high six receptions for 55 yards. After a pair of incomplete passes from the Michigan State 34-yard line, Ficken took the field to attempt a 51-yard field goal, but had it come up short for his first miss that was not blocked of the season.

The Spartans’ next two trips downfield ended with field goals by Michael Geiger, as the sophomore kicker converted on attempts from 36 and 39 yards, respectively, to give Michigan State a 13-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.

The Penn State defense forced back-to-back three-and-outs from Michigan State to start the second period. On the second Spartan drive, defensive tackle Anthony Zettel came up with his 16th career sack after taking down Spartan quarterback Connor Cook.

Zettel came up big on Michigan State’s third drive as well, intercepting Cook’s pass on the Michigan State 43-yard line and returning it seven yards to set up the offense on the Spartans’ 36. With the play, the West Branch, Mich., native became the first defensive lineman to have at least three interceptions in a season since at least 1982.

Penn State picked up a first down with the help of a 9-yard reception by Jesse James. Following an incomplete pass, Hackenberg’s nex t attempt was intercepted and the Spartans took their 13-3 lead into the half.

Michigan State increased its lead to 27-3 in the third quarter with a pair of touchdowns. Jeremy Langford rushed 3 yards for a TD at 7:24, capping off a seven-play, 63-yard drive. Michigan State added another just under three minutes later after forcing a fumble off a sack and recovering the ball at Penn State’s 18. Cook took four plays before hitting Tony Lippett for a 10-yard TD.

Akeel Lynch produced Penn State’s lone touchdown run of the game late in the third quarter with a 3-yard rush at the end of a 10-play drive. It was the fourth rushing TD of the season for Lynch.

In the fourth quarter, Langford capped the scoring for the Spartans with a 6-yard run that made it 34-10 with 2:49 to play. Michigan State ate up over nine minutes of possession between two drives sandwiching a three-and-out by Penn State before picking up its fourth touchdown of the game.

SCORING SUMMARY

BRONX, N.Y. — On the hallowed grounds of Yankee Stadium, The Captain did it again. Senior placekicker Sam Ficken hit a pair of pressure filled kicks to send Penn State to a 31-30 overtime win over Boston College in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl.

Ficken, who used Derek Jeter’s old locker, converted a 45-yard field goal with just 20 seconds left in regulation to tie the game, 24-24, and was true on the game-winning ex tra point to lift the Nittany Lions to their 28th bowl victory in school history.

The Valparaiso, Ind., native connected on his 24th field goal of the season, ex tending his school record, and 54th of his career. He finished his career ranked second in career field goals made, trailing only Kevin Kelly’s 78 (2005-08). His seven points against Boston College (4 XP, 1 FG) pushed his season total to 100 points and his career total to 271. FIcken ended his career ranked fourth on Penn State’s all-time scoring list.

Sophomore quarterback Christian Hackenberg earned MVP honors after he produced one of the finest passing games in Penn State bowl history. He set or tied nine Penn State bowl game records, including completions (34), attempts (50), passing yards (371), total offense (371) and offensive plays (58). His 72-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter to Chris Godwin tied the record for longest pass and longest touchdown pass, while his four touchdown throws in the game tied Tony Sacca’s (1992) and Wally Richardson’s (1996) bowl record.

Hackenberg spread his completions around in the game, finding eight different pass catchers, seven of whom caught at least three passes.

Godwin had a career-day with seven catches for 140 yards — with both totals ranking second in Penn State bowl history — including his second TD catch of the season.

Geno Lewis and DaeSean Hamilton also caught seven passes and pulled in a TD grab. Lewis ended the day with 82 receiving yards and Hamilton tallied 51. Bill Belton, Kyle Carter, Jesse James and Akeel Lynch each caught three passes, while Saeed Blacknall made one grab in the game.

Boston College’s Tyler Murphy threw for two touchdowns and ran for 105 yards and Jon Hilliman had 148 yards rushing and one score for the Eagles.

The Nittany Lions scored first on Hackenberg’s 72-yard TD pass to Chris Godwin down the right sideline with 5:22 left in the first. The play is tied for the longest pass and touchdown pass in Penn State’s illustrious bowl history, tying the Tom Shuman to Chuck Herd connection in the 1974 Orange Bowl.

Hilliman also found an opening late in the first quarter for a 49-yard touchdown run that tied the game at 7-7.

Hilliman, who led the team with 12 rushing TDs, broke through early with a 44-yard run that gave him more yards on one carry than three teams had in a game this season against Penn State: Central Florida (24), Massachusetts (3) and Maryland (25).

Murphy found Shakim Phillips in the corner of the end zone for a 19-yard touchdown and a 14-7 lead early in the third. He then showed how he set the ACC’s season record for rushing yards by a quarterback with 1,079 yards in 2014 with a 40-yard dash that put the Eagles ahead 21-7.

That is when Hackenberg went to work on the Eagles’ defense. He led Penn State on a six -play, 63-yard scoring drive that ended with a Lewis 7-yard touchdown grab with no time left in the third quarter. Lewis’ catch pulled Penn State within seven points, 21-14, and was his second TD of the year.

Hackenberg threw his third touchdown pass of the game to rally the Nittany Lions from a 21-7 deficit and tie the game. His pass over the middle to Hamilton threaded the needle between a pair of Boston College defenders to make it 21-all with 6:48 left in the fourth quarter.

Mike Knoll put the Eagles back in the led, 24-21, on a 20-yarder with 2:10 left in the fourth, which set up Ficken’s game-tying kick with 0:20 remaining.

Ficken, who won Penn State’s season-opener in Dublin with a 36-yard field goal as time expired, bookended the season with his biggest kick yet. The 45-yarder landed near the iconic NY logo, which was nestled behind a goalpost instead of home plate on this night, and sent the game into overtime.

Murphy hit David Dudeck for a 21-yard touchdown pass on Boston College’s overtime drive, but Knoll missed the ex tra point for the Eagles and that was the opening Penn State needed to complete its comeback.

On the overtime drive, Hackenberg missed on his first two pass attempts, but was true on his final three throws of the game. On third-and-15, Hackenberg connected with James for a 17-yard catch and run, that ended with James running through an Eagle defender to gain the first down. He then found Lewis for 5 yards before arching a perfect ball into the hands of Carter for a 10-yard touchdown. Carter’s first TD grab of the season set up Ficken’s automatic kick that sent the Nittany Lions dancing on top of the Yankees’ dugout.

BOWL RECAPS 1923 ROSE: January 1, 1923

Penn State fought a gallant fight, but Southern California was just too strong in a 14-3 victory in the 1923 Rose Bowl, the Nittany Lions’ first post-season game. The Trojans bounced back from an early 3-0 Penn State lead to post the win.

The 29-member Penn State travel party departed State College by train on December 19 and, after stops in Chicago and the Grand Canyon, arrived in Pasadena on Christmas Eve. The morning of the game, the team took in the Tournament of Roses Parade, then returned to its hotel. The Lions left in several taxi cabs at 11 a.m. for the Rose Bowl, but as the 2:15 p.m. kickoff approached, the team was mired in post-parade traffic. Only after the cabbies drove over the lawns of local residents did the Penn State contingent finally reach the Rose Bowl.

When the team arrived, they found kickoff had already been delayed by 10 minutes. Penn State coach Hugo Bezdek and USC coach “Gloomy Gus” Henderson almost came to blows as the Lions’ skipper successfully lobbied game officials for additional warmup time. The game finally started an hour late and ended in moonlight, with sportswriters lighting matches in order to finish their stories. Even with the 60-minute delay, many of the 43,000 spectators did not reach their seats until the second quarter.

Penn State took an early 3-0 lead on Mike Palm’s 20-yard drop-kick field goal, but Roy “Bullet” Baker rushed for 123 yards and one touchdown for the Trojans and the Lions were held to five first downs and 104 yards. Penn State’s share of the proceeds — $21,349.64 — was directed toward the $2 million Emergency Building Fund and in particular the construction of Varsity Hall (now Irvin Hall).

1948 COTTON: January 1, 1948Penn State climaxed a 25-year climb back to

national prominence with a 13-13 tie against Southern Methodist in the Cotton Bowl. Unheralded quarterback Elwood Petchel matched SMU All-American Doak Walker yard-for-yard as the Lions rallied from 13-0 back and had several chances to win the game.

Petchel threw for scores in the second and third quarters and nearly had a third at the end of the game, when a defender tipped away the ball at the last second. In the third quarter the Lions tied the game at 13 and Ed Czekaj’s PAT kick appeared to be good, but was ruled no good by a hesitating referee. The Lions outgained SMU 258 to 206, but two lost fumbles hurt their chances. Petchel completed seven of 15 passes for 165 yards and two touchdowns. Fran Rogel gained 95 yards on 25 carries, easily out-rushing Walker.

Because two Lions, Wally Triplett and Dennie Hoggard, were African-American, none of the Dallas hotels would allow the team to stay in their facilities, forcing the squad to stay at a Naval Air Station 14 miles from Dallas.

Coach Bob Higgins’ squad finished 9-0-1, won its first Lambert Trophy and was No. 4 in the Associated Press poll.

1959 LIBERTY: December 19, 1959Coach Rip Engle took the advice of veteran bowl

participant Bobby Dodd of Georgia Tech and installed some new plays to keep his Penn State team busy for the 1959 Liberty Bowl. That advice paid off as Penn State scored on a fake field goal play to upend Alabama, 7-0, in the inaugural Liberty Bowl in Philadelphia. The play came in the final seconds of the first half with Galen Hall passing 18 yards to Roger Kochman for the score. Game conditions at Municipal Stadium (later renamed JFK Stadium) were less than ideal and Penn State’s defense made the points stand up.

Directed by quarterback Richie Lucas, the Maxwell Award winner and Heisman Trophy runnerup, the Lions’ offense completely dominated the game, outgaining Coach Bear Bryant’s Crimson Tide 319 to 131, including a 278 to 104 edge on the ground. The victory was the first bowl win for the Nittany Lions, improving their post-season mark to 1-1-1. Penn State has not been below the .500 mark in bowl games since the historic win.

1960 LIBERTY: December 17, 1960Penn State’s second team — the “Reddie” unit —

proved the value of depth as the Nittany Lions rolled over Oregon, 41-12, for their second straight Liberty Bowl win in as many years. Twenty-one unanswered points in the second quarter gave the Lions a lead they would not relinquish on a cold, windy day in Philadelphia.

Oregon’s long first-quarter TD drive produced an early lead, but quarterback Dick Hoak and his second unit marched for two scores, while quarterback Galen Hall led another in the second quarter for a 21-6 halftime bulge. The Ducks scored in the third quarter, but again the Reddie unit produced three TDs in the fourth quarter. Hoak enjoyed an outstanding day on defense as well as running and passing on offense. He ran for 61 yards and two scores on nine carries; and completed three of five passes for 67 yards and a TD strike.

It was the running game that was the difference as the Lions outgained Oregon 301 to 187 and 420 to 360 overall. The 420 yards of total offense was a school bowl record until 1975. The Lions also forced four turnovers.

1961 GATOR: December 30, 1961Penn State justified its selection as the Lambert

Trophy winner with a decisive 30-15 victory over Georgia Tech, notching its third straight bowl victory in as many years in its first post-season game in the South. Despite three early-season losses, the Lions downed the Yellow Jackets, who had allowed only 4.4 points a game, registering four shutouts.

Galen Hall threw three touchdown passes as Penn State rallied from a 9-0 deficit. The Nittany Lion defenders caused five turnovers and took advantage of a misfired fake punt and an interception to put the game away with 10 fourth-quarter points. All-America end Dave Robinson made a stunning play midway through the third quarter and with the Lions leading 14-9, leaping over two blockers and forcing quarterback Stan Gann to fumble, which Robinson recovered at the Jackets’ 35-yard line. Hall struck quickly, tossing a 35-yard scoring strike to Junior Powell.

The Jackets carried the day statistically (outgaining Penn State 412 to 313), but special teams play for Penn State was critical as Yellow Jacket errors and a superb Lion punting game (eight punts for a 41.0 yard average) helped offset Georgia Tech’s rushing game. Hall was superb, hitting 12 of 22 passes for 175 yards and three touchdowns to earn game MVP honors.Georgia Tech 2 7 0 6 — 15Penn State 0 14 6 10 — 30

1962 GATOR: December 29, 1962Penn State posted a 9-1 regular-season in 1962,

losing by three points at Army, and was ranked No. 9 in the final Associated Press poll, earning its second straight Lambert Trophy. But, the Lions were snubbed from a New Year’s Day bowl and accepted an invitation to play in the Gator Bowl for the second consecutive year, facing unranked, 6-4 Florida.

The Lions managed only eight first downs and 147 yards and lost to the Gators, 17-7. Except for a 76-yard touchdown march culminated by Pete Liske’s one-yard TD run in the second period, Rip Engle’s squad didn’t slightly resemble the offensive terror that had swept its last six games, scoring 164 points in the process.

Florida quarterback Tommy Shannon completed seven of nine passes for 79 yards and two scores and mixed his plays to befuddle the big Penn State defense. The Gators added the longest field goal in Gator Bowl history and forced five turnovers to snap the Lions’ two-game bowl winning streak.

The best experience of this post-season may have been the squad’s trip to the White House where they gave President John F. Kennedy a Nittany Lion statue. The Lions practiced for more than a week at the U.S. Naval Academy before encountering difficult travel from Harrisburg to Jacksonville, having to bus to Pittsburgh and land in Orlando due to poor weather conditions in Pennsylvania and Florida.

1967 GATOR: December 30, 1967Penn State led for 59 minutes and 45 seconds, but

Florida State rallied from a 17-0 deficit and kicked a field goal with 15 seconds remaining to earn a 17-17 tie in the Gator Bowl.

The Nittany Lions did all their scoring in the first half, thanks largely to quarterback Tom Sherman. He kicked a 27-yard field goal in the first period and then threw touchdown passes to Jack Curry and Ted Kwalick for a 17-0 bulge at halftime.

Early in the second half, the Lions stopped the Seminoles on downs at the Penn State five-yard line. Three rushes by Charlie Pittman appeared to give Penn State a first down, but the measurement came up six inches short. In his first bowl game as head coach, Joe Paterno decided to go for it, but Sherman’s fourth-down sneak was short. Florida State quarterback Kim Hammond tossed a 20-yard scoring pass to Ron Sellers soon after to swing the momentum. Hammond was 37-of-53 passing for 362 yards, with four interceptions, while Sellers had 14 receptions for 145 yards.

After the game, Paterno told the Philadelphia Inquirer, “I may be rationalizing, but in the long run that fourth-down call may be the best thing I ever did for Penn State football.”

1969 ORANGE: January 1, 1969“There was no way Penn State could win...The last two minutes were pure unadulterated insanity.” — Pittsburgh Press

The Nittany Lions posted perhaps the school’s most dramatic victory with an unbelievable 15-14 win over sixth-ranked Kansas in the 1969 Orange Bowl. In the final 1:16 seconds of the game, Penn State turned what appeared to be a Jayhawk victory into an incredible cap to an 11-0 season and the No. 2 national ranking.

With Kansas leading, 14-7, with 10 minutes to play, Jayhawk coach Pepper Rodgers passed on a field goal from the Penn State five-yard line and running back John Riggins was stopped on fourth-and-one by Paul and Pete Johnson, keeping the Lions within a touchdown.

The game took on legendary status in the last two minutes after Penn State was forced to punt. The Lions had all three timeouts left and used them well. After tackle Mike Reid dropped quarterback Bobby Douglass for 13 yards in losses on consecutive plays of Kansas’ final offensive series, Penn State helped its cause when Neal Smith partially blocked the punt, providing one last opportunity from the 50 yard-line with 1:16 left. Quarterback Chuck Burkhart connected with Bob Campbell on a 47-yard pass to the Kansas three, just as Kansas running back Donnie Shanklin was being announced as the game MVP. After fullback Tom Cherry tried the middle twice, Burkhart faked a handoff to Charlie Pittman and carried around the left end for the touchdown with just eight seconds remaining.

Never one fond of ties, Joe Paterno elected to go for the win, but Burkhart’s two-point pass to Campbell was knocked away and the Kansas players began to celebrate with fans who were coming onto the field. But, a penalty had been called on the Jayhawks for 12 men on the field and, as game films would later reveal, Kansas had 12 men on the field for four plays, including Burkhart’s touchdown. Presented with a second opportunity, this time from the one-and-a-half-yard line, Campbell swept around the left side and into the end zone for the scintillating 15-14 victory as Penn State became the first Eastern school to win the Orange Bowl since 1937.

1970 ORANGE: January 1, 1970If ever a defense won a bowl game, it happened

in the 1970 Orange Bowl as Penn State repeatedly slammed the door on Missouri’s highly-touted offense for a 10-3 victory. It was a superlative performance by the Lion defenders as they led Penn State to its second straight Orange Bowl victory, its 22nd straight win and its 30th consecutive game without defeat.

But, a second straight 11-0 campaign again earned the Lions the No. 2 national ranking, not their first National Championship. Having already voted to play in the Orange Bowl, the fifth-ranked Lions saw No. 1 Ohio State lose to Michigan, leaving the winner between unbeatens Texas and Arkansas as the likely new No. 1. President Richard Nixon was in attendance in Austin and after the Longhorns’ 15-14 win, declared Texas national champions, much to the chagrin and outrage of Joe Paterno, his squad and Nittany Lion fans.

With the controversy about Number One still being debated, the Nittany Lion defense was outstanding in stopping the Big Eight champions. Nineteen times the powerful Missouri offense got possession of the ball and nine times the Lion defenders forced a turnover, intercepting seven passes and recovering two fumbles. The seven interceptions remain an Orange Bowl record, bettering the six turned in by Georgia against TCU in the 1942 contest, as well as being tied for the second-highest ever for any bowl game.

All of Penn State’s scoring came within a 21-second span late in the first quarter, with Mike Reitz kicking a 29-yard field goal with 3:44 remaining and Chuck Burkhart passing moments later to Lydell Mitchell for a 28-yard touchdown. The second score was set up after All-American Mike Reid jarred the ball loose from Missouri’s Joe Moore on the kickoff and Mike Smith recovered the fumble. Burkhart completed 11 of 26 passes for 187 yards to earn Most Valuable Back honors, while Reid was chosen Most Valuable Lineman.

Missouri connected on a 33-yard field goal late in the first half and reached the Penn State 14-yard line with 1:42 to play. But, George Landis grabbed his second interception of the game at the two and the Lions remained unbeaten in their 30th straight game, tying the school mark set from 1920-22.

1972 COTTON: January 1, 1972Stung by a season-ending loss at Tennessee, Penn

State looked at the 1972 Cotton Bowl as an opportunity to redeem itself and make a statement to the college football nation. With the No. 1 snub of 1969 not far removed, the game with Texas would provide a great opportunity for the Nittany Lions to earn some national respect. In what some considered a “must” win for the rising national powerhouse, Penn State blitzed highly-touted Texas, 30-6, for its third straight major bowl victory.

Neither team was able to do much in a sluggish first half that wound up with Texas holding a 6-3 edge. The Longhorns had moved the ball from their famed Wishbone offense early in the contest, but the Penn State defense began to take control as the game wore on. The second half was all Penn State. The Lions took the lead for the first time early in the third quarter after Charlie Zapiec recovered a fumble at the Texas 41-yard line. A 19-yard run by Lydell Mitchell and a 19-yard pass from John Hufnagel to tight end Bob Parsons helped the Lions reach the Texas one. Mitchell followed a block by All-American Dave Joyner for the game’s first touchdown.

The game-breaker came the next time the Lions got the ball. On second down from their 35-yard line, Hufnagel faked to Mitchell and lofted a pass to split end Scott Skarzynski dashing alone down the right sideline for a 17-6 lead. Alberto Vitiello added two more field goals and Hufnagel scored on a four-yard run, as the Lions controlled the ball for 13 minutes in the fourth quarter.

Defensive end Bruce Bannon was voted the Outstanding Defensive Player-of-the-Game, although it was a team effort that held the Longhorns to 242 yards and without a touchdown for the first time in 80 games. Mitchell was an overwhelming choice as the game’s Outstanding Offensive Player, as the All-American capped his brilliant career with 146 yards in 27 carries and one score.

“It is one of the greatest victories in Penn State history,” stated a joyous Joe Paterno. “I don’t think we’ve ever had a game that we had to win more than this one.”

1972 SUGAR: December 31, 1972Penn State was matched against one of the nation’s

top teams in the 1972 Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Eve, and while battling No. 2 Oklahoma throughout the game, fell 14-0, snapping a three-game bowl win streak.

The game did not get off to a good start when the Lions learned just hours before kickoff that leading rusher John Cappelletti had a virus and a 102-degree temperature and would be unable to play. Without Cappelletti’s ball-control running, the defense spent a great deal of time on the field. As it turned out, the Lion defenders did a spectacular job against one of the nation’s most explosive offenses, holding the Sooners’ Wishbone attack to just 14 points. Oklahoma out-gained Penn State 453 to 196, including 278 to 49 on the ground, but the stingy Lion defense forced eight Sooner fumbles, five of which Penn State recovered.

Several weeks after the game, Oklahoma was discovered to have used two ineligible freshmen players and the NCAA forced the Sooners to forfeit the games the players had participated in. Joe Paterno and school athletic officials refused to accept the win.

Prior to that revelation, Paterno accepted an offer to become the Boston Patriots’ head coach and general manager four days after the Sugar Bowl, but changed his mind the following night.

1974 ORANGE: January 1, 1974For the third time in six seasons, Penn State found

itself in the Orange Bowl attempting to complete a perfect season. And, as they did in the 1969 and 1970 Orange Bowls, the Nittany Lions rose to the occasion. Louisiana State provided stiff competition, but a hard-fought 16-9 win over the Tigers put the finishing touches on Penn State’s first 12-0 campaign.

The Tigers took the opening kickoff and quickly scored on a three-yard run by Steve Rogers. The Lion defense made a few adjustments and LSU’s only other points came on a safety when Penn State punter Brian Masella downed a bad snap in his own end zone in the third quarter.

Chris Bahr got Penn State on the scoreboard with a 44-yard field goal in the first quarter. The Nittany Lions grabbed control in the second period, sparked by Chuck Herd, who made a brilliant one-hand catch of a Tom Shuman pass on the LSU 20-yard line and ran it in to complete a memorable 72-yard score. The Lions continued their surge moments later when Gary Hayman, the nation’s leading punt returner in 1973, returned a punt 36 yards to the LSU 25-yard line. Heisman Trophy winner John Cappelletti vaulted over from one yard out for a 16-7 halftime edge.

Despite being one of only three unbeaten, untied teams entering the bowls, Penn State was ranked No. 5 in the Associated Press poll and the Sugar Bowl match-up between unbeatens Alabama and Notre Dame was being touted as the game for the national title.

1975 COTTON: January 1, 1975Penn State completed a 10-2 season with a record-

setting 41-20 victory over Southwest Conference champion Baylor in the Cotton Bowl. Joe Paterno’s Nittany Lions came from behind for the fifth time in its 10 wins, erasing a 7-3 halftime deficit with a 38-point second-half explosion for a Cotton Bowl record 41 points.

Quarterback Tom Shuman and fullback Tom Donchez, the mainstays of the offense all season, led the record-breaking efforts. Shuman completed 10 of 20 passes for 226 yards and a touchdown and added 14 yards and another score on the ground. Donchez carried 25 times for 116 yards and a touchdown and caught four passes for 50 yards. Freshman Jimmy Cefalo also contributed greatly to the victory, rushing for 55 yards, catching three passes for 102 yards and scoring two touchdowns.

It was a close game as the third quarter ended, with Penn State holding a 17-14 edge. Three straight scores — a three-yard run by Cefalo, a 33-yard field goal by Chris Bahr and a two-yard run by Shuman — gave the Lions an insurmountable 34-14 lead. Shuman earned his second-straight post-season award, grabbing the Outstanding Offensive Player award as he led Penn State to what still is a school bowl record 491 yards of total offense.

1975 SUGAR: December 31, 1975Penn State and Alabama made history in the first

Sugar Bowl played in the newly-constructed Louisiana Superdome, with a capacity crowd of 75,212 on hand. The contest also was the first of four meetings between Joe Paterno and Paul “Bear” Bryant, two of only five Division I-A coaches with at least 300 career wins.

The game was typical of the Nittany Lions’ 9-3 season, featuring outstanding defense and kicking. Alabama managed the only touchdown of the game, a 14-yard run by Mike Stock in the third quarter, which was enough to allow the Tide to pull out a 13-6 victory.

Chris Bahr, the Lions’ record-setting placekicker, accounted for all of Penn State’s scoring with a 42-yard field goal in the third period and a 37-yarder early in the final quarter. Alabama specialist Danny Ridgeway countered Bahr’s boots with field goals of 25 and 28 yards.

Bahr’s first field goal with 4:33 left in the third quarter tied the game at 3-3, but Alabama came right back with an 80-yard drive for what proved to be the winning touchdown. The game wasn’t decided until Alabama stopped the Lions on a fourth-and-one try from the Penn State 39-yard line with 1:19 to play.

1976 GATOR: December 27, 1976Meeting Notre Dame for the first time since 1928, a

3-0 turnover deficit proved to be Penn State’s undoing as the Irish posted a 20-9 victory.

It was apparent in the early going that the teams were evenly matched and breaks would be the determining factor. After Penn State took an early 3-0 lead that Notre Dame erased with a first-quarter touchdown, the Irish used a turnover and solid offense to outscore the Lions, 13-0, in the second period, cruise to a 20-3 halftime lead and never relinquish their hold.

Penn State out-gained the Irish, 274-273, led by the rushing tandem of Bob Torrey and Matt Suhey. Quarterback Chuck Fusina hit 14 of 33 passes for 118 yards, including Penn State’s only touchdown, an eight-yard strike to Suhey in the fourth quarter. Jimmy Cefalo made five catches for 60 yards and had three carries for 18 yards to earn Penn State Outstanding Player-of-the-Game honors. All-America linebacker Kurt Allerman made a game-high 16 tackles.

1977 FIESTA: December 25, 1977A then-record Fiesta Bowl crowd was treated to

an exciting shootout between two of the nation’s finest teams, with Penn State winning the showdown against hometown Arizona State, 42-30, to cap an 11-1 season.

The Lions won their first of six Fiesta Bowls (without a loss), with an opportunistic kicking game, a grinding second-half running game, an alert defense and some big plays by Jimmy Cefalo.

Penn State led, 17-14, at halftime despite being held to 45 yards rushing. Joe Lally returned a blocked punt 21 yards for the first Lion touchdown, the fifth score by the punt return team in 1977. A 67-yard punt return by Cefalo then set up a 23-yard field goal by Matt Bahr. Penn State scored the third quarter’s only touchdown and out-slugged the Devils, 18-16, in a furious fourth quarter, with Matt Suhey’s two-yard TD run with three minutes left providing some breathing room.

Steve Geise led all rushers with 111 yards, while Bob Torrey added 107 on only nine carries, marking the only time Penn State has had two runners crack the century mark in a bowl. Suhey added 76 yards, helping the Lions to a 268-90 edge on the ground. Matt Millen made 18 tackles to capture Outstanding Defensive Player honors.

1979 SUGAR: January 1, 1979A goal-line stand by Alabama in the fourth quarter

was the key in depriving Penn State of its first national championship. The Lions, 11-0 during the regular-season and ranked first in the polls entering the Sugar Bowl in the Louisiana Superdome, twice came up short from inside the one-yard line as No. 2 Alabama hung on for a 14-7 win and the national title.

In one of the greatest defensive games ever played for the national title, the hitting was ferocious on both sides. Alabama posted the first half’s only score with eight seconds left, on a 30-yard pass from Jeff Rutledge to Bruce Bolton, who made what appeared to be a diving, spectacular catch in the end zone for a 7-0 halftime lead. Photographs and video would later reveal the ball had bounced on the turf before Bolton caught it.

The Lions capitalized midway through the third quarter. Pete Harris intercepted a Rutledge pass on the Alabama 48-yard line and Chuck Fusina passed 17 yards to Scott Fitzkee to tie the score. But, ‘Bama’s Lou Inker returned a punt 62 yards to the Penn State 11 and Major Ogilvie’s eight-yard TD run gave the Tide a 14-7 lead later in the stanza.

With about seven minutes to play, Matt Millen forced a fumble which Joe Lally recovered at the Alabama 19. On second-and-goal at the six, Fusina hit Fitzkee near the flag, but as he turned to cross the goal line, Don McNeal knocked him out two feet from the stripe. Matt Suhey’s dive on third down was six inches short and on fourth down, Mike Guman was stopped short by Barry Krauss and the Tide defense in one of the memorable defensive stands in college football history. On Penn State’s final possession, the Nittany Lions drove to the Alabama 41-yard line, but the Tide defense held again to seal the win.

1979 LIBERTY: December 22, 1979Herb Menhardt’s 20-yard field goal with 18 seconds

remaining lifted Penn State to a 9-6 win over Tulane in the 21st Annual Liberty Bowl in Memphis. The win was the first in a string of five consecutive bowl victories for the Nittany Lions.

After a scoreless first quarter, the Penn State offense got untracked early in the second period. Quarterback Frank Rocco directed the Lions on a 13-play, 68-yard drive that culminated with a 33-yard Menhardt field goal for a 3-0 lead. Rocco was starting for the first time in 1979, replacing 11-game starter Dayle Tate, who suffered a shoulder injury in the Pittsburgh game earlier in the month. A 63-yard drive culminated in a 27-yard Menhardt trey later in the period for a 6-0 halftime lead.

Tulane tied the game with a pair of fourth-quarter field goals, the latter coming with less than three minutes to play. With just under 50 seconds left and the Lions at the 50, assistant coach Bob Phillips suggested a halfback option, which worked to near perfection. Rocco pitched out to Joel Coles, who pulled up on a sweep around the left side and threw a 39-yard pass to a wide open Tom Donovan, to set up Menhardt’s game-winner.

Penn State out-gained Tulane 337 to 202 and limited the Green Wave to minus-eight yards rushing. Matt Suhey posted a 19-carry, 112-yard day for the Lions.Tulane 0 0 0 6 — 6Penn State 0 6 0 3 — 9

1980 FIESTA: December 26, 1980Buoyed by a field goal in the final 10 seconds of the

first half, Penn State played a superb second half in a satisfying 31-19 victory over Ohio State in Fiesta Bowl X in front of a record crowd of 66,738. The contest remains the Lions’ only bowl game against a Big Ten opponent.

After Curt Warner’s 64-yard touchdown run on the first play of the game, Ohio State used Art Schlichter’s super passing to grab a 19-7 lead before Herb Menhardt’s 38-yard field goal with eight seconds left in the half made it 19-10. Schlichter was 15-of-22 for 244 yards and three touchdowns in the first half.

Like many Joe Paterno teams in bowl games, the Lions made adjustments at the break and dominated the second half. On their first possession of the third quarter, Todd Blackledge directed a 75-yard drive, scoring from three yards to cut the lead to 19-17. After holding the Buckeyes to zero yards in the third stanza, Jon Williams scored on a four-yard run early in the final quarter and Booker Moore’s 37-yard run climaxed an 85-yard drive and sealed the 10-2 campaign. Schlichter was 5-of-13 for 58 yards in the second half as the Lions frustrated Earl Bruce’s squad.

Penn State outgained the Buckeyes 468 to 412, including a school bowl record 351 yards rushing. Warner had 18 carries for 155 yards, to establish a Nittany Lion bowl record, and one touchdown to earn the Outstanding Offensive Player Award and Frank Case earned both the Outstanding Defensive Player and Sportsmanship awards.

1982 FIESTA: January 1, 1982Penn State rode its rugged defense to a dominating

26-10 victory over Southern California in the first Fiesta Bowl game played on New Year’s Day. Making its second consecutive appearance in Tempe, Penn State held the Trojans to 60 yards rushing and only three offensive points in the win.

Curt Warner stole the spotlight from USC’s Heisman Trophy-winning running back Marcus Allen, gaining 145 yards with two touchdowns to Allen’s 85 yards on 30 carries and no touchdowns, his lowest output of the season. For the second straight year in Tempe, Warner scored the first time he touched the ball, reaching paydirt from 17 yards out for a 7-0 lead as he became the only player to be selected the Fiesta’s Offensive Player-of-the-Game two straight years.

A 52-yard scoring strike from Todd Blackledge to Gregg Garrity gave the Lions the lead for good in the second quarter and Warner added a 21-yard scoring burst in the third.

The Lions outgained the Trojans 393 to 262, recording 11 tackles for loss, including six sacks.

Penn State concluded a 10-2 season and earned the No. 3 national ranking, playing opponents with a cumulative record of 82-37-2 (68.6), including six teams ranked among the nation’s top 20.

1983 SUGAR: January 1, 1983A mid-year loss to Alabama could have proven

devastating, but instead, Penn State rallied to win its last six games, rising to No. 2 in the polls, and garnering a national title matchup with unbeaten and No. 1 Georgia in the 1983 Sugar Bowl. The Sugar Bowl had not been kind to Penn State with the Lions going 0-3 in New Orleans, but on this day those prior games were forgotten, as Penn State defeated the Bulldogs, 27-23, to post an 11-1 record and earn its first National Championship after several near-misses under Joe Paterno.

Penn State jumped to a 7-0 lead, scoring in the first three minutes of the game. On consecutive plays, Todd Blackledge drilled a 33-yard pass to Mike McCloskey and found Gregg Garrity for 27 yards to the Georgia nine-yard line. Curt Warner’s two-yard run around left end gave the Lions a lead they would not relinquish. Following a Georgia field goal, treys of 38 and 45 yards by Nick Gancitano sandwiched a nine-yard Warner TD run for a 20-3 lead with less than a minute left in the half.

The Bulldogs responded with just five seconds remaining in the half on a 10-yard TD pass to Herman Archie. Georgia then took the second-half kickoff and drove 69 yards to score on Herschel Walker’s one-yard run, to cut the margin to 20-17.

With Warner bothered by leg cramps, the offense struggled in the third period, but early in the fourth quarter Blackledge faked to Warner and threw a perfect 47-yard strike to Garrity, who made a sensational diving catch in the end zone. The play, featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated, will forever be remembered as one of the glorious moments in Penn State history. A fumbled punt set up a Georgia touchdown with 4:54 to play, but the Lion defense stuffed Walker on the two-point try to make the score 27-23. With two minutes left, Blackledge found Garrity for a first down on third down and the Lions ran out the clock, hoisting Paterno on their shoulders with his right index finger raised in another of the significant moments in Lion history.

“Penn State No. 1!” shouted long-time Nittany Lion radio announcer Fran Fisher to his audience, trying to be heard above the din of the delirious blue and white clad fans who were finally able to celebrate a National Championship.

For the second consecutive bowl, Warner out-gained the Heisman Trophy winner, rushing for 117 yards on 18 attempts and two scores, gaining 63 gutsy yards in the second half despite the leg cramps, while Walker tallied 103 yards on 28 carries. Blackledge was 13-of-23 for 228 yards to earn MVP honors.

1983 ALOHA: December 26, 1983Penn State tied an NCAA record with its fifth

consecutive bowl victory, edging Washington, 13-10, in the 1983 Aloha Bowl, thanks to excellent punting, outstanding defense and a clutch fourth-quarter scoring drive.

The defense held potent Washington without a touchdown, but Danny Greene’s 57-yard punt return for a score midway through the second quarter loomed as the key play of the game, with the Huskies holding a 10-3 lead at the start of the final quarter. Lion punter George Reynolds, whose 47.7-yard punting average on seven kicks earned him Defensive Player-of-the-Game honors, booted a 50-yard punt to the Washington 16 late in the third quarter. The defense held and the offense answered with Nick Gancitano’s 49-yard field goal to trail, 10-6, early in the final stanza.

Reynolds’ next punt went to the Washington six, the defense held again, and after the ensuing punt to the Penn State 38, Kevin Baugh handed off to Kenny Jackson on a reverse for one first down. Doug Strang then hit Baugh for 16 yards to the Huskie four and tailback D.J. Dozier took the pitch over the right side for a two-yard touchdown with three minutes to play for a 13-10 victory.

The Lions gained just 213 yards, but the defense held the Huskies to 279 and Reynolds’ punting proved to be a key in keeping Penn State in the game.

1986 ORANGE: January 1, 1986Oklahoma’s defense turned in an outstanding effort

and the Sooners made two big offensive plays for a 25-10 victory over Penn State in the 1985 Orange Bowl’s national title battle.

The Nittany Lions, 11-0 and No. 1, also played well defensively against Oklahoma’s wishbone, allowing just 12 first downs. The No. 2 Sooners relied on the big play — a 71-yard TD pass from Jamelle Holieway to tight end Keith Jackson on third-and-24 and a game-clinching 61-yard touchdown run by Lydell Carr — plus four Tim Lashar field goals to win. The loss was Penn State’s first in the Orange Bowl after three victories.

Penn State took a 7-0 lead on its first possession. John Shaffer drove the Lions 62 yards, capped by a Tim Manoa one-yard touchdown run. But, the Sooners would score 16 unanswered points. Despite four turnovers, the Lions trailed just 19-10 as Massimo Manca attempted a 26-yard field with 2:46 to play. Manca’s kick was no good and a minute later Carr’s long TD run sealed the crown for the Sooners.

Penn State could muster just 14 first downs and 267 yards against a defense which had held opponents to less than 200 yards during the regular-season.

1987 FIESTA: January 2, 1987Linebacker Pete Giftopoulos thrust his 233-pound

frame between Vinny Testaverde and a possible winning touchdown in the waning seconds of the 1987 Fiesta Bowl, intercepting Testaverde’s final pass at the Lions’ one-yard line to preserve Penn State’s 14-10 victory over No. 1 Miami (Fla.) and earn the underdog Nittany Lions their second National Championship in four years.

In one of the most memorable National Champion-ship games ever, the No. 2 Nittany Lions intercepted Testaverde, the Heisman Trophy winner, five times to frustrate the Hurricanes and earn their second 12-0 season, culminating Penn State’s celebration of 100 years of football.

Unbeaten Miami rolled up 22 first downs and 445 yards to eight first downs and 162 yards for the Lions but, the Hurricanes could not convert yards into points against a staunch Penn State defense that was no stranger to adversity. Miami’s only touchdown came in the second quarter. Hit as he was passing, John Shaffer fumbled and the Hurricanes recovered at the Lion 23. Four plays later, Melvin Bratton went over from the one for a 7-0 lead.

Penn State immediately answered with its only sustained drive of the game, going 74 yards in 13 plays. One of the big plays was a 23-yard pass from Shaffer to Eric Hamilton on third-and 12. Tim Manoa also had a 19-yard run and caught a 12-yard pass. Shaffer rolled around the right side four yards into the end zone with 1:14 left in the half and Massimo Manca’s PAT made it 7-7 at the break.

Miami regained the lead early in the fourth quarter on a 38-yard field goal by Mark Seelig. All-America linebacker Shane Conlan, who was hobbled by knee and ankle injuries, who had grabbed a third-quarter interception, did it again, intercepting Testaverde’s toss and returning it 39 yards to the Hurricanes’ five. After a heart-stopping first-down fumbled snap was recovered by Keith Radecic, D.J. Dozier, who had 99 yards rushing on the night, got the most important six yards of his collegiate career when he darted through a gaping hole for the go-ahead touchdown with 8:13 to play. Manca’s conversion pushed the Penn State margin to 14-10.

Trey Bauer forced a fumble on the Hurricanes’ next drive, but Miami had one threat left. Starting from their own 23 with 3:07 remaining, a fourth-down completion from Testaverde to Bennie Blades gained 31 yards and propelled the Hurricanes across midfield. With 18 seconds remaining, Miami had a fourth-and-goal at the Penn State 13-yard line. Testaverde tested the Lions’ secondary one more time, looking for Brett Perriman in the end zone, but his pass came to rest in the arms of Giftopoulos, who cradled his second theft of the night and a Penn State National Championship as he fell on the ball after returning it to the 10-yard line with just nine seconds to play in another of the greatest moments in Lion football history.

1988 CITRUS: January 1, 1988Clemson successfully blended the expected with

the unexpected to post a 35-10 conquest of Penn State in the 1988 Florida Citrus Bowl, the first-ever meeting between the two schools. The Tigers rushed for 285 yards and quarterback Danny Williams threw for an uncharacteristic 214 yards (15-of-24) in the Nittany Lions’ first appearance in Orlando.

The Lions played without leading rusher and receiver Blair Thomas, who suffered a serious knee injury in an early December practice which would sideline him for the 1988 season. He had rushed for 1,414 yards and 11 touchdowns in 1987. Freshmen Leroy Thompson and Gary Brown posted 106 yards from the tailback position in Thomas’ absence. Thompson, who rushed for 55 yards and added 146 more on pass receptions (19) and kickoff returns (127), was voted the Lions’ offensive MVP with 201 all-purpose yards.

Penn State’s touchdown came on a perfect 39-yard pass from Matt Knizner to Mike Alexander that tied the issue at 7-7 in the second quarter. The Tigers led 14-7 at halftime but, Penn State cut it to 14-10 on a 27-yard field goal by Eric Etze early in the third stanza. Clemson responded with a TD and added two more scores in the fourth period to hand the Lions their worst bowl loss.

Senior linebacker Trey Bauer, who had six stops, three tackles for losses and a quarterback sack, was Penn State’s defensive MVP.

1989 HOLIDAY: December 29, 1989In a game which featured explosive offense on

both sides, two freak defensive plays decided the issue between Penn State and Brigham Young in the 1989 Holiday Bowl, which lived up to its reputation for plenty of scoring and wild finishes. By the time Penn State’s high-octane 50-39 victory over BYU was finished, 41 post-season records had either been surpassed or equaled by the teams in the four-hour, 17-minute marathon. The Lions and Cougars put 89 points on the scoreboard, including an NCAA bowl record 64 in the second half; gained 1,115 total offensive yards; rolled up 61 first downs; and punted only three times.

Andre Collins, the Lions’ All-America linebacker, made the first of the decisive defensive plays after the Cougars had closed to within 41-39 with 2:58 remaining. Collins intercepted Ty Detmer’s two-point conversion pass attempt and returned it 100-plus yards to score two for the Lions, the first time they had tallied in such a fashion since the rule was introduced in 1988.

On the ensuing BYU series, Hero Gary Brown blitzed past Outland Trophy-winner Mohammed Elewonibi to steal the ball from Detmer as he prepared to pass and returned it 53 yards for the touchdown in the final minute that secured the wild and wacky win.

Among the flood of big plays earlier in the game was a spectacular, 52-yard TD catch by David Daniels, who leapt high in the air to grab Tony Sacca’s aerial at the goal line, was hit, juggled and caught the ball as he landed on his back in the end zone for one of the superlative catches in school history.

Penn State tailback Blair Thomas, playing his final game, broke the school bowl rushing record with 186 yards on 35 carries, one a seven-yard scoring run, and shared Player-of-the-Game honors with Detmer, who was 42-of-59 for an NCAA bowl record 576 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Thomas also gained 46 additional yards on a pair of pass receptions for 232 all-purpose yards.

The 64 second half points (Penn State, 38 and BYU, 26) remain tied for the NCAA bowl record, while the combined 61 first downs by both squads also are an NCAA bowl mark. The Lions played on the West Coast for the first time since a 1973 visit to Stanford.

1990 BLOCKBUSTER: December 28, 1990The inaugural Blockbuster Bowl wasn’t being played

on New Year’s Day, but was one of the most intriguing post-season contests, pitting No. 7 Penn State and No. 6 Florida State and their legendary coaches, Joe Paterno and Bobby Bowden.

After spotting the Seminoles 10 points in the first eight minutes of the game, Penn State applied pressure the rest of the way before finally bowing, 24-17, in a marquee matchup of 9-2 independents at Joe Robbie Stadium.

With Florida State leading, 24-10, senior quarterback Tom Bill came off the bench to ignite a 62-yard scoring drive in three plays, finding Terry Smith behind the secondary for a 37-yard touchdown with 6:27 to play. But two Penn State drives later came up empty, including an interception at the one-yard line with less than three minutes to play.

Penn State’s other touchdown was scored on a 56-yard pass from Tony Sacca to David Daniels in the first quarter, but the Lions could not overcome three interceptions, a partially blocked punt which led to the Seminoles’ first TD and a blocked field goal.

1992 FIESTA: January 1, 1992For two and one-half quarters, Fiesta Bowl XXI had

all the earmarks of a Tennessee Waltz. But, in a furious eight-minute span in the second half, Penn State turned up the beat and buried the bewildered Volunteers, 42-17, beneath an avalanche of big plays on both sides of the ball in the first of what stretched to eight consecutive January bowl visits.

Penn State grabbed an early 7-0 lead, recovering a fumble on the opening kickoff and converting three plays later when Sam Gash scored on a 10-yard pass from Tony Sacca. At halftime, Tennessee had 17 first downs and 324 yards, while Penn State had just five first downs and 59 yards, but the Vols only led 10-7. Vols’ quarterback Andy Kelly, who was 16-of-26 for 204 yards in the opening half, hit Cory Fleming on a 44-yard score on the initial possession of the third stanza for a 17-7 lead.

A 39-yard punt return by O.J. McDuffie ignited the Lions and Sacca found Chip LaBarca on a three-yard scoring toss to cut the margin to 17-14 with 2:56 left in the third period. No one among the crowd of 71,133 was prepared for the onslaught which followed.

On Tennessee’s second play after the score, Tyoka Jackson stripped Kelly of the ball and recovered at the Vol 13. On the ensuing play Sacca hit Kyle Brady and suddenly the Lions had a 21-17 lead. On the Vols’ second play, Reggie Givens’ interception set up a two-yard run by Richie Anderson early in the fourth quarter. On Tennessee’s next play, Derek Bochna hit Kelly and Givens grabbed the ball and ran it in from 23 yards. In less than four minutes Penn State had scored 28 points to take a 35-17 lead. Tennessee managed to run three plays before punting on its next possession and the Lions sealed the win with a 37-yard TD strike from Sacca to McDuffie, giving them five scores in less than eight minutes.

Sacca set a Penn State bowl record with four touchdown passes and McDuffie caught four passes for 78 yards and a touchdown and had 71 yards on punt returns to earn Most Valuable Offensive Player honors. Linebacker Keith Goganious recorded a game-high 15 tackles, but Givens earned Defensive MVP accolades. Punter Doug Helkowski set Fiesta Bowl records with his nine punts for a 47.9 yard average as State finished 11-2 and No. 3 in the polls.

1993 BLOCKBUSTER: January 1, 1993Stanford proved it was one of the nation’s top teams

as it raced past the Nittany Lions, 24-3, in the 1993 Blockbuster Bowl, ending a Penn State string of four straight wins over Pac-10 teams in post-season games.

Stanford, the Pac-10 co-champions with Washington, moved 71 yards in eight plays with the opening kickoff to score all the points the Cardinal would need in Joe Robbie Stadium.

A 33-yard V.J. Muscillo field goal made it 7-3 at the end of the first quarter, but Stanford led, 14-3, at halftime and added 10 points in the third quarter.

Stanford tallied 365 yards to Penn State’s 263. All-American O.J. McDuffie made six catches for 111 yards and Richie Anderson carried the ball 13 times for 40 yards as the Lions were held to their second-lowest point total in a bowl game.

1994 CITRUS: January 1, 1994A Citrus Bowl record crowd of 72,456 was treated to

the Nittany Lions’ strongest effort of the season, a 31-13 knockout of sixth-ranked Tennessee. The hard-earned and satisfying victory capped a 10-2 season and vaulted Penn State to another Top 10 finish.

Trailing, 10-0, Penn State retaliated with tailback Ki-Jana Carter bursting for a three-yard score. The key play was a 36-yard strike from quarterback Kerry Collins to Bobby Engram. The momentum continued to swing in the Lions’ favor on Tennessee’s next possession, as Tyoka Jackson tipped a Heath Shuler pass which Lee Rubin snared just inches above the turf. Engram then made a 16-yard reception and gained 35 yards on a reverse. Craig Fayak’s 19-yard field goal knotted the score at 10-10.

Tennessee tallied its final points of the afternoon with a field goal, but Penn State had its two-minute offense humming late in the first half. Passes to Engram and Brian O’Neal took the ball to the Vol 14-yard line with :10 left. With the majority of the packed stadium expecting a pass, offensive coordinator Fran Ganter called Carter’s number and he swept left and hurtled behind an Engram block into the end zone with just three ticks left on the clock to stun the crowd. Fayak’s PAT kick put the Lions on top for good, 17-13, capping what may have been the game’s most pivotal play.

A seven-yard pass from Collins to Kyle Brady made it 24-13 in the third quarter and Engram made a 15-yard TD catch to close the scoring. Engram made seven catches for 107 yards and his 184 all-purpose yards made him the overwhelming choice as the Offensive MVP, while Rubin was the Defensive MVP. Collins was 15-of-24 passing for 162 yards and two scores, out-playing Shuler, the Heisman Trophy runnerup, who was sacked four times in the second half.

1995 ROSE: January 2, 1995In a landmark season, the Nittany Lions brought

proper closure to a magnificent 1994 campaign by beating Oregon, 38-20, in the Rose Bowl, Penn State’s first appearance in the “Granddaddy of Them All” since the 1923 contest. Having won their first Big Ten Championship in their second year of conference play, the Lions became the first Big Ten squad ever to earn a 12-0 record and the first Conference team to earn an unblemished record since Ohio State in 1968.

Despite the 12-0 record and having been ranked No. 1 in late October, the Lions finished No. 2 to Nebraska in the final polls, marking the fourth time a Paterno-led team had gone unbeaten but not won the national title.

In a microcosm of a brilliant season, Heisman Trophy runnerup Ki-Jana Carter flashed through the line on Penn State’s first play from scrimmage, bounced off a defender and burst into the lush green carpet for an 83-yard score in the game’s initial five minutes. The Rose Bowl throng of 102,247 rose in unison as Carter raced toward the end zone in front of the frenzied Blue and White backers. Just as they had done so many times in 1994, the Nittany Lions’ startling offensive prowess delivered an early lead and a dagger to the spirit of the opposition.

The Lions, though, were confronted by a relentless Oregon squad, which gained a 14-14 tie in the third quarter before Penn State pulled away for the 38-20 victory. The significance of the win in Pasadena stretched in many directions: Penn State earned its fifth unbeaten, untied season under Joe Paterno and its third 12-0 campaign; Paterno became college football’s all-time winningest bowl coach with his 16th post-season win and became the first coach in college football history to win the traditional four major bowls.

Carter rushed for 156 yards on 21 carries and three touchdowns, sharing Rose Bowl Co-Most Valuable Player honors with Duck quarterback Danny O’Neil,

who set six Rose records with his 41-of-61 effort for 456 yards and two scores. Carter’s 83-yard run was the longest of his career, Penn State’s longest in a bowl game and the third-longest in Rose Bowl history. Lion quarterback Kerry Collins concluded his brilliant season with a 19-of-30 display for 200 yards, setting a school completion mark for a bowl game and fullbacks Brian Milne and Jon Witman each tallied once.

The offensive fireworks by both squads produced 13 Rose Bowl records and tied two others. Penn State also eclipsed seven individual and two team school bowl records.

1996 OUTBACK: January 1, 1996Facing a new opponent, in a new bowl, the Penn

State Nittany Lions were determined to send a superb class of 21 seniors out in a familiar fashion. Playing in its first Outback Bowl, a strong finish was the precursor to a solid bowl effort, as the Nittany Lions played arguably their finest game of the year in crushing Auburn, 43-14, to finish 9-3.

Penn State seized control of the Outback with a Wally Richardson to Mike Archie touchdown pass with :05 left in the first half for a 16-7 lead and then deluged the Tigers with an unanswered 27-point avalanche in the third quarter. Outback and school bowl records were being broken and tied by the Lions as quickly as the rain was turning the Tampa Stadium turf into a quagmire.

A group of seniors who were the backbone of Penn State’s impressive 31-5 record the past three seasons

127

again led the way in their final game. Archie ran for 41 yards in addition to his big touchdown catch. Stephen Pitts rushed for 118 yards and also made a touchdown reception. Fullback Brian Milne rushed for a career-best 82 yards. The senior offensive line quartet of Keith Conlin, Jeff Hartings, Andre Johnson and Marco Rivera dominated the line of scrimmage, helping the Lions rush for 266 yards and pass for 221 with no sacks. Terry Killens recorded a pair of sacks to spark the defense.

And then there was Bobby Engram. The three-time All-American concluded his career the Lions’ all-time greatest receiver with another typically superlative effort, earning game MVP honors for the second time in a bowl. He made four catches, three of which were typically spectacular, for 113 yards and two scores. Just as he had demolished the school’s career receiving records, the 1994 Biletnikoff Award winner did so with Penn State’s career bowl receiving marks. His two TD catches also broke the school bowl standard, giving the dynamic player 13 records.

1997 FIESTA: January 1, 1997Penn State improved to 6-0 in Tempe with a 38-15 win

over Big 12 champion Texas in the 1997 Fiesta Bowl.Gaining only 95 yards while allowing 242, Penn

State was fortunate to trail the Longhorns only 12-7 at halftime, having quickly scored after a Mark Tate interception on the game’s second play. The defense had stiffened twice inside the 15-yard line, holding Texas to a pair of field goals and one touchdown.

As the Lions did so many times under Joe Paterno, they made adjustments at the break and then dominated the last 30 minutes. Freshman Kenny Watson took the second-half kickoff 81 yards, a school bowl record, to inside the Texas 20. A five-yard Aaron Harris TD run and a two-point pass from Wally Richardson to Curtis Enis provided a 15-12 lead less than three minutes into the half.

Texas gained a 15-15 tie midway through the stanza, but the momentum clearly was swinging in Penn State’s direction. On its next drive, Enis scored from two yards. The defense held and on second down, Chafie Fields took a double reverse 84 yards to the Texas five-yard line, the longest run in school and Fiesta Bowl history. Anthony Cleary cracked over for a 28-15 margin and the Lions never looked back, out-scoring Texas, 31-3, in the second half. The Lions out-gained the Longhorns 330-118 in the second half, including a whopping 292 to minus-19 yard edge on the ground.

Richardson completed his tenure with a 21-5 record as a starter as the 16 seniors closed their careers with a 42-7 record and four bowl victories.

1998 FLORIDA CITRUS: January 1, 1998With their schools meeting for the first time since

the 1962 Gator Bowl, Joe Paterno and Steve Spurrier, matched wits for the first time in the 1998 Florida Citrus Bowl. The normally pass-happy Gators stuck primarily to the ground and posted a 21-6 victory.

Playing without starters Curtis Enis and Joe Jurevicius, the Lions struggled offensively, but the defense kept Penn State within striking range after the Gators took a quick 14-0 lead. Jim Nelson collected an interception at the Penn State four-yard line to stop a Florida drive late in the first stanza. On the Gators’ next possession, Shawn Lee returned an interception 33 yards to the Florida 31. The Lions moved the ball to the seven, but had to settle for a Travis Forney field goal.

The defense and special teams made two huge plays to give Penn State first-and-goal chances in the second quarter. Brandon Short knocked the ball away from Gator QB Doug Johnson and after a wild scramble, Short recovered at the Gators’ six. But, on fourth-and-inches, Chris Eberly was stopped short of the goal line. The defense held and Kenny Watson delivered a 52-yard punt return to the Florida six with 1:14 left in the half. Again, the Lions were faced with fourth-and-one, but Mike McQueary’s pass was picked off in the end zone, denying Penn State its best opportunities for touchdowns.

A Forney field goal made it 14-6 entering the fourth quarter, but Florida scored on the second play of the stanza to end the scoring. Gator tailback Fred Taylor set Citrus Bowl records with 43 carries for 234 yards, most ever for a Lion foe in a bowl game. The Lions could muster only nine first downs and 139 yards in offense, the lowest in Paterno’s tenure. The 16 Lion seniors completed their careers with a superb 41-8 (83.7) record.

1999 OUTBACK: January 1, 1999Facing one of college football’s most talented

players — the eventual No. 1 pick in the 1999 National Football League draft — the Penn State defense was superb in limiting high-flying Kentucky to only two scores in a 26-14 Outback Bowl win before a soldout crowd of 66,005 in the new Raymond James Stadium.

Joe Paterno led the Lions to their eighth straight January bowl game and improved his NCAA record for bowl victories to 19.

While Heisman Trophy finalist Tim Couch did pass for 336 yards, it took him a whopping 48 attempts to do so. The Lion defense intercepted him twice, sacked him five times and had numerous near-sacks and hurries. Kentucky broke out to an early 14-3 lead, but in the second quarter, Penn State made adjustments and scored 10 unanswered points to cut the lead to 14-13.

A 56-yard TD pass from QB Kevin Thompson to Joe Nastasi preceded three Travis Forney field goals. Forney also had made a trey in the first quarter, breaking the Outback and school bowl records with four field goals. Despite dominating the second and third quarters, the Lions only led 19-14 entering the final period. But, the defense, which had gotten a blocked field goal from LaVar Arrington in the third quarter, stuffed the Wildcats on fourth-and-one at the Kentucky 34. Several plays later, Chafie Fields took his second reverse of the game 19 yards to paydirt for the final 26-14 margin.

As it had done all season, the defense led the way, paced by Anthony King’s 11 tackles, two interceptions and a fumble recovery. Courtney Brown made the seven stops, including four for loss, and two sacks on consecutive plays in the final period to earn game MVP honors.

1999 ALAMO: December 28, 1999Their resolve was firm. A team that was in position to

play for the National Championship in early November was looking to finish the season on a positive note after three straight narrow losses to end the regular-season.

Facing Texas A&M in the Alamo Bowl, 25 seniors were playing their final game, a victory would give Joe Paterno another 10-win season.

The Nittany Lions turned in a marvelous defensive performance to record a 24-0 blanking of the Aggies. The whitewash was the Lions’ 20th since Sandusky became defensive coordinator in 1977.

Finishing 10-3, the Lions won at least 10 games for the 18th time under Paterno and earned the No. 11 ranking in the final Associated Press and USA Today/ESPN Coaches polls.

The game was Paterno’s 30th bowl contest, breaking a tie with “Bear” Bryant for appearances. The all-time bowl wins leader improved his post-season record to 20-9-1.

On A&M’s first scrimmage play, All-American LaVar Arrington set the tone, as he chased QB Randy McCown and hit him as he threw, with David Macklin making the first of four Lion interceptions at the A&M 40-yard line.

On A&M’s second possession, Derek Fox collected a McCown pass at the A&M 34, and weaved his way to the end zone for a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter.

With Kevin Thompson sidelined by a shoulder injury, quarterback Rashard Casey made his first career start. He fired a 45-yard TD strike to Eddie Drummond for a 14-0 lead.

Early in the second half, the Aggies advanced to the Lions’ 14. But, on third down, Arrington tipped McCown’s pass and Ron Graham grabbed it at the eight to thwart another drive.

Arrington flattened McCown to halt A&M’s last drive and Casey quickly had the Lions on the move. A 34-yard completion to John Gilmore took the pigskin to the A&M 26. A 20-yard completion to Tony Stewart set up Casey’s four-yard naked bootleg on the first play of the fourth quarter for a 21-0 lead.

On the ensuing kickoff, Askari Adams forced a fumble which was recovered by Shawn Mayer at the A&M 23. A 39-yard Travis Forney field goal made it 24-0.

2003 CAPITAL ONE: January 1, 2003Penn State rode the momentum of four consecutive

wins to close the regular-season into the 2003 Capital One Bowl against Auburn, but some missed offensive opportunities resulted in a difficult 13-9 loss.

The Lions finished with a 9-4 record, with all four losses coming by seven points or less, including two in overtime, to teams that were ranked in the Top 15 of the final Associated Press poll (three in the Top 10).

Anthony Adams forced an early fumble that Derek Wake pounced on at the Auburn 15-yard line. The Lions had a first-and-goal at the four, but were forced to settle for a 21-yard field goal by Robbie Gould.

The Tigers advanced to the Lions’ seven early in the second quarter, but Wake blocked a 34-yard field goal attempt, his fourth blocked kick of the year. Midway through the quarter, the Lions reached the Auburn 16, but Gould’s 33-yard field try was wide.

Penn State’s next possession began at the Auburn 43 and the Lions moved to the 10, but again had to settle for a Gould field goal, a 27-yarder, for a 6-0 lead with 1:44 left in the half. Three trips inside the Auburn 20 had resulted in only six points, which would come back to haunt the Lions.

Early in the fourth period, Michael Robinson completed a 34-yard pass to Tony Johnson and then scrambled 20 yards to the Auburn 19. Gould’s 31-yard field goal gave Penn State a 9-7 lead, but 10:10 was left to play.

A sack by John Bronson forced an Auburn punt, which the Tigers downed at the Penn State one. The Tigers forced a three-and-out and got excellent field position at the Penn State 40 with 5:04 to play. Brown carried the ball five straight times, the last one a 17-yard touchdown burst with 2:19 to play for a 13-9 lead. Campbell’s two-point pass was incomplete.

Zack Mills returned to the contest, but on third down, was intercepted by Roderick Hood and Auburn held on.

Adams recorded nine tackles (eight solo), including a sack, and the forced fumble to earn team Defensive MVP honors. Robinson was the team Offensive MVP.

2006 ORANGE: January 3, 2006Freshman Kevin Kelly’s 29-yard field goal in the third

overtime lifted Penn State to a thrilling 26-23 victory over Florida State in the FedEx Orange Bowl.

The Nittany Lions’ fourth win in five Orange Bowl appearances gave them the No. 3 ranking in the final AP and USA Today Coaches polls. The Lions (11-1) earned their 13th Top 5 finish under Joe Paterno.

In a meeting of the two winningest major college coaches of all-time, Paterno gained one victory on his old friend Bobby Bowden, as both legends ended their 40th seasons as head coaches at 12:57 a.m., more than 4 1/2 hours after kickoff.

Austin Scott carried five times for 57 yards on Penn State’s second drive and scored from two yards out for a 7-0 lead. Scott gained 110 yards on 26 carries and two TDs, replacing an injured Tony Hunt. Two of the nation’s premier defenses then kept each side in check until a wild final 4:09 of the second quarter.

Florida State tied the game at 7-7 on Willie Reid’s 87-yard punt return. Then Drew Weatherford hit Lorenzo Booker on a 57-yard TD pass, but the PAT kick was missed.

The Lions quickly responded, as Big Ten MVP Michael Robinson lofted a 25-yard pass to Ethan Kilmer, who made a leaping catch over a defender for the TD with just :06 left in the half. Kelly’s PAT made it 14-13 at the half.

The Lion defense did not allow any points in the third period despite great field position for Florida State throughout the quarter.

Jeremy Kapinos pinned Florida State deep as the fourth quarter began. Jim Shaw pressured Weatherford in the end zone, he threw the ball away and was called for intentional grounding, giving Penn State a safety and a 16-13 lead with 13:36 to play.

Florida State later advanced to the Lions’ 29, but Penn State stiffened and Gary Cismesia hit a 48-yard field goal with 4:08 to play.

A 38-yard completion from Robinson to Jordan Norwood took the ball to the Seminoles’ 11. With :32 left in regulation, Kelly’s 29-yard field goal attempt was wide, but he would later emerge as the hero. Robinson was 21-of-39 for 253 yards, accounting for 28 touchdowns during the season.

The Lions held No. 22 Florida State to 26 yards rushing, 12 first downs and three-of-17 on third down. Linebacker Dan Connor made seven tackles, (two TFL) and defensive tackle Scott Paxson had six stops (1.5 TFL). Jay Alford made four hits, with 2.5 TFL, and forced a fumble deep to win a spot on ESPN.com’s All-Bowl team. All-America cornerback Alan Zemaitis grabbed his Big Ten-leading sixth interception of the season (12th career).

2007 OUTBACK: January 1, 2007Facing its fifth ranked opponent, Penn State played its

most complete game of 2006 to defeat No. 17 Tennessee, 20-10, in the Outback Bowl, winning a New Year’s Day bowl game for the second consecutive year.

Improving to 3-0 in the Outback Bowl, Penn State finished 9-4 and was ranked No. 24 by the Associated Press and No. 25 in the USA Today Coaches polls. The Lions held the Vols to a season-low 10 points, 19.3 below their average and forced three turnovers.

Tennessee became the 10th team, and seventh consecutive, to score 17 or fewer points against Penn State. Over the last five games, the Lions allowed just 36 points (7.2 avg.) with two shutouts. Over the last 25 quarters of the season, Penn State permitted just three TDs. Tennessee also became the eighth opponent held under 100 rushing yards during the season, netting 83.

Tony Hunt was spectacular in his final game as a Lion, rushing for 158 yards on a career-high tying 31 attempts to earn Outback Bowl Most Valuable Player honors. Hunt posted his eighth 100-yard game of 2006 (15th career).

Hunt’s 158 yards were the second-highest of his career and the second-highest by a Lion in a bowl game (186, Blair Thomas vs. Brigham Young, 1989 Holiday Bowl). Hunt finished second on the Penn State career rushing charts with 3,320 yards and first all-time with 654 carries (5.08 avg.). He finished just 78 yards behind career leader Curt Warner’s total of 3,398 yards.

The Vols scored late in the half to tie the game and it was 10-10 entering the fourth quarter, when the Lion defense delivered the game-changing play. On first down from the Nittany Lions’ 14, Dan Connor and Sean Lee crunched Tennessee’s Arian Foster and cornerback Tony Davis picked up the pigskin and flew 88 yards for the go-ahead TD with 10:01 to go.

Penn State forced a three-and-out and Derrick Williams returned the punt 20 yards to the Volunteers’ 45. Hunt had seven consecutive carries, netting 39 yards, to set up a 22-yard trey by Kelly, making it 20-10 with just 3:29 to play.

Anthony Morelli was a strong 14-of-25 for 197 yards with no interceptions.

All-American Paul Posluszny recorded eight tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss. He finished his career as Penn State’s all-time tackle leader with 372 and 12th all-time with 35 tackles for loss. Posluszny became the first player to lead Penn State in tackles three consecutive seasons and the first with a trio of 100-tackle campaigns.

2007 ALAMO: December 29, 2007Penn State overcame a 14-0 first-quarter deficit to

defeat Texas A&M, 24-17, in the Valero Alamo Bowl in Joe Paterno’s 500th game as head coach of the Nittany Lions. The Lions (9-4) won their third consecutive bowl game. Penn State finished No. 25 in the USA Today Coaches poll.

The Lions overcame their largest deficit of the season and held the Aggies to just three points over the last three quarters in front of an Alamo Bowl record crowd of 66,166 in The Alamodome. Penn State took the lead for good at 24-17 with :19 left in the third quarter on a season-long 38-yard burst by redshirt freshman tailback Evan Royster.

130

Early in the fourth quarter, Jeremy Boone boomed a 55-yard punt and Texas A&M’s Roger Holland was dropped at the Aggies’ one by A.J. Wallace and Justin King. But, Texas A&M proceeded to march downfield looking to tie the game. On fourth-and-one from the Penn State two, McGee ran the option to the right, but slipped and fell at the six, giving the ball back to the Lions, who used two possessions to run out the final 7:43.

Junior linebacker Sean Lee recorded a game-high 14 tackles, with a TFL and a pass breakup, to earn Defensive MVP honors. Lee’s 14 stops tied the Alamo Bowl record, as he recorded double-figures in tackles for the 10th time in the season. His 138 tackles ranked No. 4 on the school season list.

All-America linebacker Dan Connor made nine tackles to finish the season with 145, passing Shawn Mayer’s 144 for second place on the Lions’ season list. Connor’s 419 career tackles broke the school record. Safeties Mark Rubin and Anthony Scirrotto made eight tackles each and defensive end Maurice Evans had six stops and forced two fumbles. Cornerback A.J. Wallace made five stops, grabbed his first career interception and had a huge fumble recovery to set up a score.

Penn State ran for a season-high 270 yards, averaging 6.6 yards on its 41 carries. Rodney Kinlaw gained 143 yards on 21 attempts (6.8) for his sixth 100-yard game of the season. Reserve quarterback Daryll Clark gained 50 yards on just six attempts (8.3), including an 11-yard touchdown run.

Senior quarterback Anthony Morelli was 15-of-31 for 143 yards, including a 30-yard scoring strike to a diving Deon Butler to swing the momentum of the game.

All-Big Ten punter Boone averaged a school bowl record 51.4 yards on his five punts, with a long of 55 yards.

2009 ROSE: January 1, 2009Sixth-ranked Penn State came into its Rose Bowl

battle with No. 5 Southern California among the nation’s leaders in fewest penalties and turnovers, but mistakes proved costly as the Trojans captured a 38-24 win in the meeting between national powers. Southern California took a 5-4 lead in the series.

The Nittany Lions had season-highs of nine penalties for 72 yards, 62 in the first half, negating a turnover and a 45-yard completion in USC territory early in the game. Penn State also had three turnovers after committing only 13 in the regular-season.

Penn State (11-2), the 2008 Big Ten champion, saw its three-game bowl wining streak ended. Coach Joe Paterno lost a bowl game west of the Mississippi River for the first time after 13 victories without a defeat.

More than 30,000 Nittany Lion fans brought the famed Penn State “Whitehouse” to the Rose Bowl, staying in the game until the final gun. The total attendance was 93,293.

The Nittany Lions gained 410 yards, the most by a USC opponent for the season. Penn State became just the third team to score more than 20 points against the nation’s No. 1 scoring defense (7.8 ppg average).

Junior quarterback Daryll Clark broke Penn State bowl records with 273 passing yards and 290 yards of total offense. His 21 completions tied Michael Robinson’s mark from the 2006 Orange Bowl. Clark was 21-of-36, with two TDs and two interceptions, one of which came on the final play of the game, with Penn State at the USC 12-yard line.

Clark also ran for a nine-yard touchdown late in the first quarter to tie the game, 7-7. The runnerup for 2008 Big Ten MVP honors, he accounted for a school season-record 29 TDs, throwing for 19 and rushing for 10.

Tailback Stephfon Green saw extensive duty, as Evan Royster left the game late in the first quarter with a knee injury. Green led Penn State with 57 yards on 10 carries and five receptions for 67 yards, including a 30-yard play. Royster gained 34 yards on just six carries to finish with 1,236 yards, good for No. 10 on the Penn State season list.

Senior Deon Butler had four catches for 97 yards and a 45-yard first-quarter catch nullified by a penalty. He finished his career as Penn State’s career leader with 179 receptions, while his 2,771 yards were good for No. 2.

Senior All-American Derrick Williams made four receptions for 34 yards, including a two-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter to pull the Lions within 31-14. Williams finished his career No. 3 on the school career receptions list with 161. His 4,156 career all-purpose yards were good for No. 5 on the Penn State list.

Senior Jordan Norwood made three catches for 32 yards, including a nine-yard touchdown catch. He finished his career No. 4 on the Penn State career receptions list (158) and No. 3 on the school career receiving yardage list (2,015).

Norwood’s three catches also gave him 41 for the season, as he, Butler (47) and Williams (44) each eclipsed 40 or more receptions for the third consecutive season. Prior to 2006, Penn State had never had a trio of players with 40 or more catches in the same season.

The Lions held the Trojans to 61 rushing yards, 145 yards below their season average. USC became the eighth team to fail to gain 100 rushing yards against Penn State.

Sophomore linebacker Navorro Bowman made a school bowl-record five tackles for loss (minus-21), tying Andy Katzenmoyer’s Rose Bowl record from the 1997 game. Bowman had his fourth sack of the season among his eight tackles (seven solo), finishing the year with a team-best 106 tackles and 16.5 tackles for loss. Junior linebacker Josh Hull made a game-high nine tackles, including one for a five-yard loss. Senior Tony Davis

made eight hits and recovered a fumble and senior Lydell Sargeant had seven tackles (six solo).

Senior placekicker Kevin Kelly scored six points in the game with three PAT and a 25-yard field goal that moved him into fourth place all-time on the NCAA career overall scoring charts with 425 points. That mark also ranks second in Big Ten history, just one point shy of the record of 426 points held by Ron Dayne of Wisconsin (1996-99).

USC quarterback Mark Sanchez was 28-of-35 for 413 yards, with four touchdown passes, the most ever by an opposing player in a bowl game. His 413 yards were second-highest in Rose Bowl history and the most against Penn State since Minnesota’s Tim Schade threw for 478 yards in 1993.

2010 CAPITAL ONE: January 1, 2010Senior quarterback Daryll Clark led Penn State on a

65-yard drive in the waning minutes of the game and Collin Wagner connected on a 21-yard field goal with :57 left to play to lift the Nittany Lions to a dramatic 19-17 win over LSU in the 64th Capital One Bowl.

Clark, the game MVP, led No. 9/11 Penn State (11-2) to its 15th 11-win season under Coach Joe Paterno. The No. 13 Tigers (9-4) suffered their first bowl loss under Les Miles. The victory solidified Penn State’s 23rd Top 10 final ranking under Paterno. The Nittany Lions finished No. 8 in the USA Today Coaches poll and No. 9 in the AP poll.

131

Wagner made a career-high four field goals, connecting from 26, 18, 20 and 21 yards. He had never made four field goals during his prep or Penn State career. His four field goals tied Travis Forney’s Penn State bowl record (1999 Outback).

Having taken a 16-3 lead into the third quarter, the Nittany Lions saw the Tigers rally to score two touchdowns in a span of 2:24, grabbing a 17-16 lead with 12:49 to play on a one-yard run by Stevan Ridley. Penn State had to punt, but the defense held LSU to one first down and forced a punt, with the Lions taking over at their 31 with 6:54 to play.

Penn State converted two third downs on the dramatic 12-play scoring drive. Clark hit Graham Zug for a first down at the LSU 37. On the next play, Zug made a huge 17-yard sideline reception to the 20. On third-and-four from the Tigers’ 14, Stephfon Green burst through the line for a six-yard gain. Clark carried to the LSU two to set up Wagner’s game-winner.

On the Tigers’ final possession, they faced a third-and-21 from their own 40 with time for one more play. Jordan Jefferson completed a pass to Rueben Randle, who reached the Lions’ 35, but was hit by Eric Latimore and fumbled. Nick Sukay recovered to seal the win.

Clark, the 2009 Big Ten Co-MVP, was 18-of-35 for 216 yards, with one TD and no interceptions. Compiling a spectacular 22-4 (84.6) record as the Nittany Lions’ starting quarterback Clark became the first Penn Stater to surpass 3,000 passing yards in a season, finishing with 3,003.

Clark added the Penn State season total offense mark to his resume of records, gaining 3,214 yards to break Michael Robinson’s mark of 3,156. Clark’s other school records included season (24) and career (43) touchdown passes, and season (31) and career (65) touchdowns responsible for.

Andrew Quarless made a career-high and school bowl record eight receptions for 88 yards to break school records for catches by a tight end in a season (41) and career (87).

The Lions had just two penalties for 10 yards and did not have a turnover for the fifth time in the last six games.

The defense held the Tigers to 243 yards and forced three turnovers. Penn State limited LSU to just nine first downs and 41 rushing yards on 25 attempts, becoming the eighth opponent to rush for less than 100 yards in 2009.

All-America linebacker Navorro Bowman made nine tackles (seven solo), with 1.5 tackles for losses. Josh Hull had six stops and Sean Lee had six hits, finishing his outstanding career with 325 tackles, good for No. 4 at Penn State.

A heavy downpour soaked an already soft field before the 1 p.m. kickoff, but the rain ended just before the first battle between the schools since the 1974 Orange Bowl.

2011 OUTBACK: January 1, 2011Penn State’s bid for a fourth New Year’s Day bowl

victory in the past six years was turned back in the final minute as Florida captured a 37-24 win in the 25th Outback Bowl in Raymond James Stadium.

Two of the nation’s Top 10 winningest programs since 2005 played for just the third time and staged an entertaining contest in front of 60,574 fans. The loss dropped Penn State to 7-6, while Florida finished 8-5. Penn State suffered its first loss in the Outback Bowl after beating Auburn (1996), Kentucky (1999) and Tennessee (2007) in its previous appearances.

Coach Joe Paterno led Penn State to its 25th New Year’s Day bowl game under his leadership (17-8).

The Nittany Lions saw their two-game bowl winning streak against Southeastern Conference teams snapped. The Nittany Lions are 9-6 all-time in bowl games against SEC opponents.

The Nittany Lions took a 24-17 lead late in the third quarter, but the Gators scored the next 13 points for a 30-24 lead midway through the fourth frame.

After both teams exchanged punts, Penn State took possession at its own 21-yard line with just 3:04 left to play. Matt McGloin completed an 18-yard pass to Derek Moye and Evan Royster’s 23-yard burst made him the first Nittany Lion with a trio of 1,000-yard rushing seasons. With the ball at the Florida 25, a McGloin pass was picked off by Ahmad Black, who returned it 80 yards for a touchdown to seal the game with 55 seconds to play.

Penn State’s career rushing yardage leader, Royster finished his outstanding career with 3,932 yards on a school-record 686 carries and 29 rushing touchdowns. The three-time All-Big Ten honoree gained 98 yards on 20 carries against the Gators to finish the season with 1,014 yards on 208 carries.

On Florida’s first play from scrimmage, cornerback D’Anton Lynn grabbed his third interception of the season at the Gators’ 39-yard line. McGloin completed passes of 16 yards to Brett Brackett and 15 yards to Graham Zug to give the Nittany Lions a first-and-goal. On third down from the Florida 5, McGloin lofted the ball to Derek Moye, who snared it for his eighth touchdown catch of the season. Collin Wagner’s PAT kick gave Penn State a 7-0 lead with 9:08 left in the first quarter.

Moye had game-highs with five catches and 79 yards and made his 15th career touchdown catch. He became the 11th Nittany Lion player to record at least 100 career receptions with a first-quarter grab and just the seventh Penn Stater to record 15 or more career receiving touchdowns.

Making his fifth career start, McGloin was 17-of-41 for 211 yards, with one touchdown and a school-record five

interceptions. His 41 pass attempts were a Penn State bowl record and his 17 completions were fifth-highest in Penn State bowl history.

The Penn State defense limited Florida to just 279 yards (101 passing) and an average of 3.9 yards per play.

Junior defensive tackle Devon Still recorded a career and team season-high 3.5 TFL against the Gators, with a career-best seven stops (six solo) overall. Senior linebacker Chris Colasanti made a game-high 10 hits, compiling his fifth double-figure tackle game of the season.

2012 TICKETCITY: January 1, 2012In the first meeting between Penn State and high-

powered Houston since 1977, the No. 20 Cougars beat the No. 24 Nittany Lions, 30-14, in the TicketCity Bowl.

The first bowl game of 2012 was one of just four non-BCS games that featured a pair of Top 25 teams. The Nittany Lions dropped consecutive bowl games for the first time since the 1975 Sugar Bowl and 1976 Gator Bowl. Penn State is 10-5 in bowl games since joining the Big Ten Conference.

Penn State lost for the first time in the historic Cotton Bowl Stadium. The Nittany Lions won the 1972 and 1975 Cotton Bowls (vs. Texas and Baylor) and tied the 1948 game with SMU in the venerable facility.

Penn State played in its 28th January bowl game among its 44 all-time post-season contests.

Houston entered the game No. 1 in the nation in total offense (599.0 ypg), passing offense (44.3 ypg) and scoring

132

offense (50.8 ppg) and was impressive, gaining 600 yards. The Cougars’ NCAA record-setting quarterback, Case Keenum, broke the Penn State opponent bowl and all-time records for completions (45) and attempts (69) in a game. He threw for 532 yards and three scores.

The previous opponent records were Brigham Young’s Ty Detmer completing 42 passes in the 1989 Holiday Bowl and Oregon’s Danny O’Neil attempting 61 passes in the 1995 Rose Bowl. Detmer threw for an opponent record 576 passing yards in the 1989 Holiday Bowl.

Penn State allowed just 41 points during the first quarter in the regular-season, but Houston grabbed a 17-0 lead after the opening period. The Lions out-scored the Cougars, 14-13, over the final three quarters, but were not able to pull within a score.

In his final game as a Nittany Lion, Stephfon Green ran for a game-high 63 yards on 15 carries. He scored on a six-yard run midway through the second quarter, his sixth rushing touchdown of the season, to pull Penn State within 17-7. But, the Cougars responded with a 75-yard touchdown pass from Keenum to Patrick Edwards, the longest play from scrimmage allowed by the Penn State defense in the 2011 season and an opponent bowl mark. Edwards’ 228 receiving yards also were a Houston bowl record and an opponent bowl mark.

With Houston leading, 27-7, in the third quarter, quarterback Rob Bolden connected with junior wideout Justin Brown on a 69-yard scoring strike to pull the Nittany Lions within two scores. The catch was a career-long for Brown and the second-longest completion in Penn State bowl history behind Chuck Herd’s fingertip 72-yard reception from Tom Shuman in the 1974 Orange Bowl.

In his final game as a Nittany Lion, senior linebacker Nate Stupar made a game-high 12 tackles (seven solo), the second-highest total of his career. Linebacker Gerald Hodges recorded nine tackles and safety Drew Astorino had eight stops. Senior All-America tackle Devon Still was limited by turf toe suffered in practice days before the game.

2014 PINSTRIPE: December 27, 2014On the hallowed grounds of Yankee Stadium, The

Captain did it again. Senior placekicker Sam Ficken hit a pair of pressure filled kicks to send Penn State to a 31-30 overtime win over Boston College in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl.

Ficken, who used Derek Jeter’s old locker, converted a 45-yard field goal with just 20 seconds left in regulation to tie the game, 24-24, and was true on the game-winning extra point to lift Penn State to its 28th bowl win in school history.

The Valparaiso, Ind., native connected on his 24th field goal of the season, extending his school record, and 54th of his career. He finished his career ranked second in career field goals made, trailing only Kevin Kelly’s 78 (2005-08). His seven points against Boston College (4 XP, 1 FG) pushed his season total to 100 points and his career total to 271. FIcken ended his career ranked fourth on Penn State’s all-time scoring list.

Sophomore quarterback Christian Hackenberg earned MVP honors after he produced one of the finest passing games in Penn State bowl history. He set or tied nine Penn State bowl game records, including completions (34), attempts (50), passing yards (371), total offense (371) and offensive plays (58). His 72-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter to Chris Godwin tied the record for longest pass and longest touchdown pass, while his four touchdown throws in the game tied Tony Sacca’s (1992) and Wally Richardson’s (1996) bowl record.

Godwin had a career-day with seven catches for 140 yards — with both totals ranking second in Penn State bowl history — including his second TD catch of the season.

Geno Lewis and DaeSean Hamilton also caught seven passes and pulled in a TD grab. Lewis ended the day with 82 receiving yards and Hamilton tallied 51. Bill Belton, Kyle Carter, Jesse James and Akeel Lynch each caught three passes, while Saeed Blacknall made one grab in the game.

The Nittany Lions scored first on Hackenberg’s 72-yard TD pass to Chris Godwin down the right sideline with 5:22 left in the first. The play is tied for the longest pass and touchdown pass in Penn State’s illustrious bowl history, tying the Tom Shuman to Chuck Herd connection in the 1974 Orange Bowl.

Hilliman also found an opening late in the first quarter for a 49-yard touchdown run that tied the game at 7-7. Hilliman, who led the team with 12 rushing TDs, broke through early with a 44-yard run that gave him more yards on one carry than three teams had in a game this season against Penn State: Central Florida (24), Massachusetts (3) and Maryland (25).

Murphy found Shakim Phillips in the corner end zone for a 19-yard touchdown and a 14-7 lead early in the third. He then showed how he set the ACC’s season record for rushing yards by a quarterback with 1,079 yards in 2014 with a 40-yard dash that put the Eagles ahead 21-7.

That is when Hackenberg went to work on the Eagles defense. He led Penn State on a six-play, 63-yard scoring drive that ended with a Lewis 7-yard touchdown grab with no time left in the third quarter. Lewis’ catch pulled Penn State within seven points, 21-14, and was his second TD of the year.

Hackenberg threw his third touchdown pass of the game to rally the Nittany Lions from a 21-7 deficit and tie the game. His pass over the middle to Hamilton threaded the needle between a pair of Boston College defenders to make it 21-all with 6:48 left in the fourth quarter.

Mike Knoll put the Eagles back in the led, 24-21, on a 20-yarder with 2:10 left in the fourth, which set up Ficken’s game-tying kick with 0:20 remaining.

Ficken, who won Penn State’s season-opener in Dublin with a 36-yard field goal as time expired, bookended the season with his biggest kick yet. The 45-yarder landed near the iconic NY logo, which was nestled behind a goalpost instead of home plate on this night, and sent the game into OT.

Murphy hit David Dudeck for a 21-yard TD pass on Boston College’s overtime drive, but Knoll missed the extra point for the Eagles and that was the opening Penn State needed to complete its comeback.

On the overtime drive, Hackenberg missed on his first two pass attempts, but was true on his final three throws of the game. On third-and-15, Hackenberg connected with James for a 17-yard catch-and-run, that ended with James running through an Eagle defender to gain the first down. He then found Lewis for five yards before arching a perfect ball into the hands of Carter for a 10-yard touchdown. Carter’s first TD grab of the season set up Ficken’s automatic kick that sent the Nittany Lions dancing on top of the Yankees’ dugout.

PENN STATE UNIVERSITYPenn State’s historic mission of teaching, research, and public service — launched under the most modest of circumstances more than 150 years ago — now reaches into virtually all parts of Pennsylvania. Consider, for example, that the University now has 24 campuses across the Commonwealth, putting a Penn State education within practical reach of nearly every Pennsylvanian. In fact, nearly 75 percent of Penn State’s undergraduates are Pennsylvania residents.

Penn State is Pennsylvania’s largest nongovernmental employer and has employees and expenditures in every one of its 67 counties. The University generates a total economic impact across the Commonwealth that surpasses $8.5 billion annually.

Part of that impact is derived from Penn State’s research program, which brings more than $500 million in federal funds to Pennsylvania each year, and an additional $100 million from private industry.

Penn State’s outreach and online programs — ranging from 4H to Cooperative Extension, from summer camps to public broadcasting — provide educational and service programs to more than a million Pennsylvania households annually.

The University’s presence throughout Pennsylvania today contrasts sharply with its humble beginnings. Chartered as a college of scientific agriculture, the institution was located in rural Centre County after James Irvin, a partner in the Centre Furnace iron works (remains of which can be seen today along East College Avenue), offered to donate 200 acres of farmland for a campus.

Founding President Evan Pugh wanted the fledging institution to embody a new approach to higher education that blended classical studies with subjects that had practical value. He joined similar visionaries in other states in convincing Congress to pass the Morrill Land-Grant Act in

1862. The act gave individual states tracts of federal land to sell; the proceeds supported colleges that agreed to include engineering, science and the liberal arts as well as agriculture in their course of studies. In 1863, the Pennsylvania legislature designated Penn State the Commonwealth’s sole land-grant institution. The lawmakers in effect bestowed on the privately incorporated college a public character. In return for state support, the institution assumed obligations of teaching, research and service that are normally associated with publicly owned land-grant universities in other states.

By the 1890s Penn State was making its mark. It ranked among the nation’s 10 largest undergraduate engineering schools, a distinction it still holds. It established one of the nation’s first collegiate agricultural experiment stations, and Professor Whitman Jordan’s pioneering research on using fertilizers for soil enrichment had global impact on crop yields.

Penn State in 1871 became one of the first land-grant schools in the Northeast to admit women, graduated its first international student in 1890, and its first African-American student in 1905.

In the early 1900s, President Edwin E. Sparks supported a number of efforts to “carry the college to the people,” as he liked to say. Technical institutes were established in various locations statewide for engineering education, beginning with an evening school in Allentown in 1910. In 1912, Penn State helped create a system of county agents in agriculture and home economics. Today, the Penn State World Campus, with its “anywhere, anytime” learning through the Internet, builds on that outreach tradition.

But undergraduate education remained foremost. Enrollment surpassed 5,000 students by 1936, including those attending several undergraduate centers that were created for students who, in the depths of the Great Depression, could not afford to leave their hometowns to get a college education. The centers offered the first year of baccalaureate studies

and were the predecessors of today’s statewide system of campuses. Thanks to this innovative approach to higher education, Penn State in the 1930s became Pennsylvania’s largest single source of baccalaureate degrees, a distinction it holds to this day.

Following World War II, Penn State underwent unprecedented expansion, first to meet the needs of returning military veterans and later to accommodate the Baby Boom generation. Total enrollment at all Penn State campuses climbed to 40,000 by 1970.

The University also emerged on the national scene as a research powerhouse in fields as diverse as dairy science, acoustics, psychology, and diesel engineering. The expansion of research went hand in hand with a steady increase in the number of graduate students. The University awarded its first graduate degree — a master’s degree in scientific agriculture — in 1862, and the Graduate School was established in 1922. But overall graduate enrollment remained modest until the 1950s, then swelled steadily. In the past ten years alone, Penn State had awarded more than 30,000 master’s, doctoral, and other advanced degrees.

The University Park campus is Penn State’s administrative and research hub. In addition, there are 19 primarily undergraduate campuses; Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, including the College of Medicine; the Pennsylvania College of Technology; the Penn State Dickinson School of Law, Carlisle campus; the Penn State Great Valley School of Graduate Professional Studies; and the Penn State World Campus.

To date, Penn State has awarded nearly 750,000 degrees, hallmarks of an educational experience second to none in quality. In addition, Penn State alumni — including 327,000 in Pennsylvania alone — have job- and social-networking opportunities that no other college or university in the Commonwealth can surpass.

PRESIDENT ERIC J. BARRONEric J. Barron, former dean at Penn State and former president of Florida State University, began his presidency at Penn State on May 12, 2014. Succeeding former President Rodney Erickson, who had served since 2011, Dr. Barron was named the 18th President of Penn State by the University’s Board of Trustees on February 17, 2014.

Dr. Barron returned to Penn State from the helm at Florida State, bringing with him nearly 35 years of leadership experience in academic administration, education, research, and public service, and a track record as a talented manager of fiscal policy within large and complex institutions. Dr. Barron led Florida State to two consecutive U.S. News and World Report rankings as the nation’s “most efficiently operated” institution of higher education.

Dr. Barron earned a bachelor of science degree in geology at Florida State in 1973 before moving on to the University of Miami, where he earned master’s and doctoral degrees in oceanography, in 1976 and 1980, respectively. Dr. Barron spent 20 years of his career at Penn State, serving as dean of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences from

2002 to 2006, and as founding director of the Earth System Science Center, one of the first major initiatives focused on the total study of Earth as a system, from 1986 to 2002. He also had a simultaneous appointment as director of the Earth and Mineral Sciences Environment Institute from 1998 to 2002. In 1999, he was named Distinguished Professor of Geosciences at Penn State, and during his tenure as director, Industry Week magazine ranked him among “50 R&D Stars to Watch.”

An accomplished scientist with a long background in atmospheric research, Dr. Barron served as director of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) from 2008 to 2010 and as dean of the Jackson School of Geosciences at the University of Texas at Austin from 2006 to 2008. Early in his career he was a postdoctoral research fellow and scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, a federal research center focusing on atmospheric and related science issues. Dr. Barron originally worked at NCAR as a postdoctoral fellow (1981-85), and served for one year on the faculty at the University of Miami before joining Penn State.

Over the decades, Dr. Barron has lent his significant expertise in the areas of atmospheric science and the geosciences to many national committees and federal organizations, including contributions as chair of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) science advisory board and nearly 20 years of service as the chair of multiple National Research Council committees and boards. Throughout his career he has earned numerous accolades and awards, including Penn State’s Wilson Award for Excellence in Teaching (1999); the National Aeronautic and Space Administration’s (NASA) Distinguished Public Service Medal (2003); and the Bridge Builders Leadership Award from the Martin Luther King Foundation of Florida (2012).

Dr. Barron is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union, the American Meteorological Society, the Geological Society of America, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He has authored more than 125 peer-reviewed papers in geology, oceanography, and climate issues.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR SANDY BARBOURSandy Barbour began her leadership of the Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics program on August 18, 2014. President Eric J. Barron named Barbour the Nittany Lions’ ninth Director of Athletics on July 26, 2014 after serving 10 years as Director of Athletics at the University of California.

Barbour brings to Penn State more than 30 years of varied experiences as a collegiate administrator and coach, with a demonstrated record of championships, academic success, innovation, facility modernization and revenue growth.

Barbour directs Penn State’s 31-sport, broad-based program that supports approximately 850 student-athletes and an Intercollegiate Athletics staff of more than 300.

Serving as the Director of Athletics at Cal since 2004, Barbour guided the Golden Bears through one of the most successful periods in school history. Under her direction, the athletic department became one of the consistently elite programs in the country. Barbour’s 10-year term as AD was the longest tenure for the department since men’s and women’s athletics merged into a single entity in 1992.

During her tenure overseeing Cal’s 30-sport program, the Golden Bears won 20 team national championships, 97 individual national titles, finished in the top 10 in the annual Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup standings six times, including a program-best third in 2011, and reached record levels in ticket sales, sponsorships and fundraising.

Among Cal’s many team athletic accomplishments under Barbour’s leadership were a 2006 Pac-12 co-championship and seven bowl-game invitations in football; the men’s basketball team’s first conference title in 50 years in 2009-10; a first-ever NCAA Final Four berth in women’s basketball in 2013; two trips to the national semifinals in women’s volleyball and six NCAA Championships in men’s and women’s swimming and diving.

Under Barbour’s leadership, two major facility projects designed to benefit both student-athletes and fans opened. On Sept. 1, 2012, Cal welcomed a sold-out crowd to a newly restored California Memorial Stadium after the historic facility underwent a $321 million renovation and seismic retrofit to bring the stadium up to modern standards while honoring the historic nature of the venue.

A year earlier, Cal opened the Simpson Center for Student-Athlete High Performance, a 142,000-square-foot state-of-the-art student-athlete training, coaching, and applied sports science and sports medicine center that supports daily needs of football and 12 Olympic sports programs. The Simpson Center represents the physical manifestation of Cal High Performance, a concept Barbour developed at Berkeley, which represents a seamless integration of all factors impacting a student-athlete’s ability to succeed in the classroom and in their competitive venue.

During the 2013-14 academic year, the Bears won two team national championships, with men’s swimming and diving capturing its third NCAA title in four years and men’s varsity rugby repeating as Rugby 7’s national champion, along with 10 individual, relay and/or boat national crowns. In addition, Cal secured the largest field naming-rights deal in collegiate sports history, when Kabam, a Cal alumni-led technology company, signed on to name Kabam Field at California Memorial Stadium.

Cal student-athletes continued their high academic achievement in 2013-14, with numerous programs

earning public recognition from the NCAA on the Academic Progress Rate and Graduation Success Rate metrics with 100 percent scores. New coach Sonny Dykes led a resurgence in the football program’s academic achievement with a 969 APR score, 18 points higher than the Division I football average, and a record-setting program GPA.

Under Barbour’s leadership, the average grade-point average for Cal’s 30 teams was nearly 3.0 and the women’s golf team achieved the highest team GPA in Cal’s recorded history when it posted a 3.54 GPA during the fall 2013 semester. More than 175 student-athletes annually earned academic all-conference notice, and 17 teams received national recognition for their NCAA Academic Progress Rates over the last five years.

During the 2012-13 academic year, Max Homa was the NCAA medalist in men’s golf, men’s and women’s swimmers combined for five individual national titles and the women’s basketball program won its first-ever Pac-12 title. On the international level, a total of 46 Golden Bear student-athletes, alumni and staff represented Cal at the 2012 Olympic Games and they won a school-record-tying 17 medals, including 11 gold.

Named one of the “100 Most Influential Women in Business” in the Bay Area according to the San Francisco Business Times, Barbour was named a regional Athletic Director of the Year for 2008-09 by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), and she was a finalist for National Athletic Director of the Year at the Sports Business Awards. Barbour previously was chosen a 2006 Woman of Distinction by the East Bay Business Times and the 2006 National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators (NACWAA) Division I-A National Administrator of the Year.

While at Cal, Barbour was an active member of several committees on both the national and conference levels. In 2010, she was selected as the Pac-12 representative to the NCAA Division I Leadership Council, a four-year appointment. She has chaired the Pac-12 Athletic Directors TV Committee and served on the conference’s Recruiting Guidelines Committee. Barbour also has served on the NACDA Executive Committee, the NCAA Diversity Leadership Strategic

Planning Committee, the NCAA Women’s Basketball Discussion Group and the WBCA Defensive Player of the Year Selection Committee.

Barbour also has served as the chair of the Pac-10 Budget and Finance Committee, been a member of the Pac-10 Executive Committee and the Pac-10 Television Committee, and was vice president of the conference in 2007-08.

Prior to moving to Berkeley, Barbour was the deputy director of athletics at Notre Dame, serving as the university’s senior athletic administrator from July 2002 to September 2004. She previously held an associate athletic director position there starting in 2000.

Barbour’s career in intercollegiate athletic administration spans more than 30 years, beginning as a field hockey assistant coach and lacrosse administrative assistant at the University of Massachusetts in 1981. She has since served as assistant athletic director at Northwestern and in 1991 was recruited to Tulane as an associate athletic director.

In 1996, Barbour was appointed Tulane’s director of athletics at age 36, and during her three years overseeing the program, Green Wave teams won 12 conference championships. In her first year in the position, the school captured four conference titles, a feat never before accomplished in Tulane history. She also hired Tommy Bowden as head football coach during her first year. Bowden proceeded in 1997 to post the Green Wave’s first winning season (7-4) in 16 years, and then directed the school to a 12-0 record, a Conference USA championship and a No. 7 national ranking the following season as the 1998 Liberty Bowl champions.

In her position at Notre Dame, Barbour oversaw facilities and event operations for the school’s 26-sport program, including football game management and the department’s two golf courses. She also was responsible for developing, maintaining and implementing Notre Dame’s $127 million athletics facilities master plan.

Additionally, her role at Notre Dame included responsibilities for women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s cross country, indoor and outdoor track, men’s and women’s swimming and men’s golf. She also assisted with the administration of women’s basketball.

Born Dec. 2, 1959, in Annapolis, Md., Barbour grew up in a military family. Her father was a career aviator in the U.S. Navy, and her family lived in various U.S. locations as well as in Western Europe during her childhood.

Barbour graduated cum laude in 1981 with a B.S. degree in physical education from Wake Forest, where she was a four-year letterwinner and served as captain of the field hockey team. She also played two varsity seasons of women’s basketball.

Barbour earned advanced degrees at both Massachusetts (an M.S. in sports management in 1983) and Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management (an MBA in 1991).

Between master’s programs, Barbour served as assistant field hockey and lacrosse coach at Northwestern from 1982-84. She also held the position of director of recruiting services during that period, before being promoted to assistant athletic director for intercollegiate programs in 1984, a position she held until 1989.

Prior to joining Tulane, Barbour worked in programming and production for FOX Sports Net in Chicago during the summer of 1990.

PENN STATE TRADITIONS➤ NITTANY LION LEGEND

Penn State’s athletic symbol, chosen by the student body in 1906, is the mountain lion which once roamed central Pennsylvania.

H.D. “Joe” Mason, a member of the Class of 1907, conducted a one-man campaign to choose a school mascot after seeing the Princeton tiger on a trip with the Penn State baseball team to that New Jersey campus. A student publication sponsored the campaign to select a mascot and Penn State is believed to be the first college to adopt the lion as a mascot.

Since Penn State is located in the Nittany Valley at the foot of Mount Nittany, the lion was designated as a Nittany Lion. In regional folklore, Nittany (or Nita-Nee) was a valorous Indian princess in whose honor the Great Spirit caused Mount Nittany to be formed. A later namesake, daughter of chief O-Ko-Cho, who lived near the mouth of Penn’s Creek, fell in love with Malachi Boyer, a trader. The tearful maiden and her lost lover became legend and her name was given to the stately mountain.

➤ NITTANY LION SHRINE

Penn State’s Nittany Lion shrine was dedicated on Oct. 24, 1942, during Homecoming Weekend. Animal sculptor Heinz Warneke and stonecutter Joseph Garatti molded a 13-ton block of Indiana limestone into the most recognizable symbol of Penn State. The shrine was chosen from six models submitted by Warneke.

The shrine is a gift of the Class of 1940 and rests in a natural setting of trees near the Recreation Building. The site was chosen because of its accessibility, the surrounding trees and the fact that the sculpture would not be dwarfed by nearby buildings.

The shrine was surrounded by a base of Pennsylvania stone and extensive changes made to the landscaping over the summer. The work was the gift to the University from the Class of 2012.

➤ BLUE & WHITE

Penn State’s student-athletes are instantly identified by their blue and white uniforms — but those weren’t the original school colors.

A three-member committee representing the sophomore, junior and senior classes was appointed in October of 1887 to develop color options from which the student body would select the school colors. Dark pink and black was the unanimous choice of the students after considering the color combinations presented by the committee. Soon many students and the baseball team were sporting pink and black striped blazers and caps. Problems arose, however, when the pink faded to white after several weeks of exposure to the sun. The students then opted for blue, rather than black, and white. The official announcement of the new choice was made on March 18, 1890.

➤ “HAPPY VALLEY”

The first thing to know is Wikipedia has it wrong. The term “Happy Valley” originated with Centre Daily Times columnist Katey Lehman. Ross and Katey Lehman, one of the town’s regal couples, became good friends with Pat and Harriet O’Brien. Ross Lehman, a 1942 graduate, was the executive director of the Penn State Alumni Association, among other things, and Katey wrote a column for the Centre Daily Times entitled “Open House.” Pat O’Brien was a Liberal Arts professor. The O’Briens used to take Sunday drives with their children and often remarked, “What a happy valley?” a phrase that made its way to Katey. The initial appearance of the phrase in print was in Katey’s column of June 22, 1961. She used it in lower case between quotes, “happy valley.” In a June 25, 1962 column, she headlined it, “Happy Valley And Jet Age.” Katey continued to mention it a few more times in the early 1960s.

➤ WE ARE...PENN STATE

The original Penn State cheer from the 1920s into the 1960s was N-I…Double-T...A-N-Y. In the 1970s, the cheerleaders sought out additional cheers. They checked with other schools and learned of cheers at Kentucky, Ohio State and Southern California that they liked. They blended the three together to come create “We Are…Penn State.” The cheer didn’t catch on right away, but after several years it caught hold in the early 1980s. The cheerleaders later added “Thank You…You’re Welcome.”

The first use of the phrase “We are Penn State” is often attributed to football All-American Steve Suhey. A captain on the 1947 Cotton Bowl team, Suhey used the phrase as the team, an early racially-integrated unit, was faced with several situations in which Penn State’s African-American players were not welcome to participate. Team captain Suhey, pointing at all his teammates, said “We’re Penn State and we play together or we don’t play.” Penn State forfeited a game against the University of Miami and stayed in Army barracks when hotels at the Cotton Bowl refused the Nittany Lions lodging as a team.

➤ THE “S” ZONE

Organized in 1999 by the Penn State Lion Ambassadors, the student alumni corps, the “S” Zone revived one of the oldest traditions — Block S — in the student section at Beaver Stadium. Now formed when 700 underclassmen don coordinated blue and white t-shirts, the giant block “S” is a striking symbol visible throughout the stadium and captured regularly by national television cameras. The “S” Zone, which has had several locations over the years, most recently moved to the end zone.

➤ PENN STATE WHITE OUT

During the past decade, Penn State students have donned white clothes, paint — anything white — to show their solidarity and support for the Nittany Lions. As a mass of bouncing and infectious enthus-iasm, the Penn State students have “Whited Out” Beaver Stadium, making it one of the noisiest and most intimidating stadiums in America.

➤ FOOTBALL TROPHY GAMES

Since joining the Big Ten in 1993, Penn State has begun a tradition of two trophy games played against Big Ten foes Michigan State and Minnesota.

The Land Grant Trophy is awarded to the winner of the Penn State-Michigan State game and honors the nation’s two pioneer land-grant schools, each founded in February of 1855. The Nittany Lions and Spartans will play for the trophy November 29 this season.

The Governor’s Victory Bell is presented to the winner of the Penn State-Minnesota contest. It was first awarded when the Golden Gophers provided the opposition for Penn State’s first game as a member of the Big Ten. Commissioned by Pennsylvania Governor Robert Casey and Minnesota Governor Arne Carlson, Penn State and Minnesota will play next on October 1, 2016 in Beaver Stadium.

➤ VICTORY BELL

A tradition that started in 1964 returned to its roots as the authentic Victory Bell that once “rang” after Nittany Lion victories was brought out of storage and installed at the team tunnel at the south end of Beaver Stadium. Players ring the bell as they leave the field after home victories.

At first, the Victory Bell was mounted atop the old scoreboard at the south end of the stadium. What fans at Beaver Stadium had been hearing since the early 1980s was a recording of a ringing bell.

Coach Rip Engle came up with the idea of a Victory Bell before the 1964 season as a way to boost school spirit for the football team. Wagner Building, which houses the university’s Military Science program, was the original location of the bell, which came from the battleship U.S.S. Pennsylvania. It had been installed at the right front of Wagner Building years before.

The bell was first rung when the Nittany Lions pulled off a 6-2 upset of Army at West Point, their first win after three losses to start the season. Almost like magic, the 1964 season began to turn around.

The official class Victory Bell, now located at the tunnel, was dedicated by president Dr. John Oswald on September 17, 1978, during a game against Rutgers. It is the third incarnation of the bell and was brought out of storage in recent years by Lou Prato, Penn State historian and the first director of the All-Sports Museum.
