1991 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS

The Penguins won their fi nal eight games, including three decided by two points or less on the way to winning the school’s fi rst I-AA title.

Although the season had many miraculous moments, the big-gest turning point of the year and perhaps the program’s history came at Georgia Southern on Nov. 2. Both the Penguins and Eagles entered the game with 4-3 re-cords with YSU losers of two straight. The loser was out of playoff contention while the winners’ postseason hopes continued. YSU jumped out to a 12-3 halftime lead on GSU. Ray Isaac scored on a 33-yard touchdown run to put the Penguins in front 19-3 then in the fourth, YSU had to hang on. Georgia Southern, winners of 53 of its last 55 home games and the two-time defending champion, pulled within 19-17 with 5:40 but failed to tie the game missing the two-point conversion. YSU’s off ense kept the ball the fi nal 5:40 of the game converting two fourth-down plays to earn the victory. YSU ended the regular season with wins over James Madison, Slippery Rock and Towson State to make the playoff s. In the fi rst round against Villanova, YSU trailed 16-7 before Leo Hawkins scored on a one-yard touchdown run in the third cutting the defi cit to 16-14. In the fi nal two minutes, Youngstown State faced a 4th-and-11 play when Ray Isaacs’ pass was defl ected and then caught by Herb Williams for 41 yards. Jeff Wilkins kicked a 33-yard fi eld goal with six seconds left to send the Penguins into the quarterfi nals at top-seeded Nevada-Reno. At Nevada-Reno, YSU jumped out to a 17-3 lead and led 30-20 in the fourth quarter to set up an amazing fi nish. With just over seven minutes remaining, the Wolfpack scored to cut the defi cit to four. After YSU mishandled a punt for a safety, Nevada stormed down the fi eld to set up a 27-yard fi eld goal attempt by Rick Schwendinger, but with one second left, his kick sailed wide left. In the semifi nals, YSU’s defense was the star scoring on a fumble return, intercepting six passes and holding Samford to minus-4 yards rushing in a 10-0 win. Chris Vecchione returned a fumble six yards for a touchdown in the fi rst and Wilkins kicked a 28-yard fi eld goal in the third for the games’ only points. Tamron Smith set a school-record with 46 carries for 246 yards in the victory. YSU returned to the site of its biggest victory of the season playing Marshall in Statesboro, Ga. Again, the Penguins pulled out a thrilling come-from-behind win, 25-17, scoring 19 fourth-quarter points. Marshall led 17-6 entering the fourth but an Isaac to Williams 33-yard touchdown pass and a three-yard touchdown run by Ryan Wood gave YSU an 18-17 lead. Smith added a fi ve-yard touchdown rush to give the Penguins a 25-17 lead. A desperation pass by Marshall was knocked down in the end zone on the fi nal play.

Youngstown State battled back from a 17-6 defi cit with 19 fourth-quarter points and held off a late charge to beat Marshall 25-17 to claim its fi rst-ever national title on Dec. 21, 1991 in Statesboro, Ga. Heading into the fourth quarter, YSU trailed 17-6 after Marshall scored all of its points in the third. Wide receiver Herb Williams caught a 33-yard pass from Ray Isaac and Ryan Wood scored on a three-yard touchdown run to put YSU ahead 18-17 after two failed two-point conversions. Tailback Tamron Smith increased the lead to 25-17 with a fi ve-yard run with 5:42 remaining. Marshall made one last charge moving the ball to the YSU 19-yard line in the fi nal minute. But three incompletions by Patton and a sack by Demario Ridgeway preserved the win for the Penguins.

YSU won 12 of its fi nal 13 games and capped off the season by beating Marshall 17-5 in the National Championship Game on its home fi eld.

Youngstown State’s reward for beating Central Florida, Georgia Southern and Idaho at home in the playoff s was to play at a hostile environment for the National Championship against Marshall in Huntington, W. Va., for the second straight year. But the one thing the Penguins had on their side was the revenge factor. In 1992, YSU played at Marshall and came up just short losing 31-28. Marshall scored the fi rst 28 points of that game before the Penguins rallied for the next 28. But a fi eld goal late in the fourth quarter dashed YSU’s 1992 title hopes setting the stage for a memorable 1993 championship game. This time, the Penguins would come out on top beating the Thundering Herd 17-5 on its home fi eld. YSU jumped out quickly scoring 17 fi rst-quarter points. Darnell Clark ran 50 yards for a touchdown on the third play from scrim-mage and Tamron Smith scored on a fi ve-yard run just over two minutes later. Later in the period, Jeff Wilkins kicked a 19-yard fi eld goal and from there it was the defense that was impressive. Marshall moved into YSU territory only once in the fi rst half before getting on the board on a 27-yard fi eld goal late in the third. In the fourth, the Thundering Herd threatened driving deep into YSU territory. Marshall had a fi rst down at the three, but was stopped on three straight plays. On fourth-and-goal from the one, the defense stuff ed Chris Parker to take over with 5:14 left. YSU took a safety later in the drive and with 1:40 left Vance Mayes’ interception sealed the Penguins second national title. Youngstown State rolled through the fi rst three rounds of the playoff s winning by an average margin of 22 points. YSU beat Central Florida 56-30 in the fi rst round, Georgia Southern 34-14 in the quarterfi nals and Idaho 35-16 in the semifi nals. Against Central Florida, YSU scored 35 fi rst-half points en route to the win. Against Georgia Southern, the Penguins jumped out with a fl urry again to lead 27-0. In the semifi nals against Idaho, Youngstown State trailed 16-14 at halftime in a snow storm. But in the third quarter Smith scored on an eight-yard touchdown run and Mark Brungard tossed a 39-yard touchdown pass to Don Zwisler to extend the lead to 12. Clark added a 15-yard scoring run in the fourth for the fi nal outcome. In the regular season, the Penguins opened with a win at West-ern Michigan before losing at Stephen F. Austin. After that, YSU picked up wins over Morgan State, Eastern Kentucky, Delaware State, Liberty, Samford, Buff alo and Indiana State. The Penguins’ seven-game win streak was snapped when they lost 13-10 at Illi-nois State but rebounded to close out the regular season shutting out Akron 19-0.

After a tie in the season opener, the Penguins won 14 straight games while claiming the school’s second straight I-AA crown.

Coach Jim Tressel’s 1994 team was arguably his best. The Pen-guins opened the year with a tie and then rolled to 14 straight victories while wrapping up the school’s second straight national championship beating Boise State 28-14 in the title game. After tying Stephen F. Austin in the opener, YSU went on to set a school record for victories in a year and set the mark for the school’s best winning streak in fi nishing the entire campaign without a loss. In 1994, YSU averaged 27.9 points and held their opponents to 10.1 points per contest. The Penguins won eight games by more than 20 points and scored more than 27 points nine times. Eight times, YSU’s opponents failed to score double fi gures. The year culminated with a 28-14 win over Boise State in the National Championship Game in Huntington, W. Va. By beating the Broncos, YSU became just the second school in Division I-AA history to repeat as National Champions. Against Boise State, YSU trailed 7-0 before scoring the next 28 points. The Broncos added a score late but the day, much like the season, belonged to YSU. The Penguins outgained the Broncos 422 to 225 and won the time of possession battle by eight minutes. In the second quarter of the title game, Mark Brungard scored on a two-yard run and scored on a 38-yard scamper just before the half . In the third, Brungard capped a 91-yard scoring drive with a fi ve-yard touchdown toss to Don Zwisler. In the fourth, Shawn Patton scored on a 55-yard rush with just over seven minutes remaining. The game was a microcosm of YSU’s season -- slow start fol-lowed by a tremendous fi nish. The year began with a fi nal-play fi eld goal to tie Stephen F. Austin, and next came 14 straight victories. In 1994, YSU won nine home games and in four away contests allowed just 18 points. In the regular season, YSU won six straight home contests over Eastern Kentucky, Slippery Rock, McNeese State, North Alabama, Kent State and Akron. The Penguins concluded the regular season with road victories over Buff alo, UMass and Indiana State. In the playoff s, YSU opened with a 63-20 win over a Steve McNair’s Alcorn State team in an ESPN nationally-televised game. McNair fi nished with 514 yards passing while making 82 passes. YSU’s dream season hung in the balance in the quarterfi nals against Eastern Kentucky. YSU led 11-0 in the fourth before EKU rallied for 15 points. Brungard led the troops back when he threw an eight-yard touchdown pass to Darnell Bracy with 1:02 left. Against Montana in the semifi nals, YSU built a 21-0 third-quar-ter lead on the way to a 28-9 win. The victory over the Grizzlies sent the Guins to the title game for the third straight year.

Quarterback Demond Tidwell tossed a 10-yard touchdown pass to Renauld Ray with 8:08 remaining as the Penguins held on for 10-9 victory over McNeese State on Dec. 20, 1997 in Chattanooga, Tenn. YSU picked up the game’s only turnover as Jeff Fackrell intercepted a Blake Prejean pass at the YSU 35-yard line with 12:02 remain-ing. The Penguins marched 66 yards in nine plays to score the game’s lone touchdown when Ray caught a 10-yard pass from Tidwell. After the score, YSU’s defense stopped the Cowboys on two consecutive drives. The Guins forced a three-and-out on the ensuing series after MSU had picked up nine yards on fi rst down. YSU milked 5:07 off the clock with a nine-play drive that went for just 13 yards giving the ball back to McNeese with just 1:16 left. On the fi nal drive, defensive tackle Harry Deligianis sacked Prejean on consecutive snaps and the fi nal play was an incomplete pass.

A road-weary YSU squad waited until the fi nal quarter of the seasonbefore a late touchdown pushed it past McNeese State for the title.

The Penguins travelled the long road on the way to winning their fourth national championship in seven years. In the playoff s, YSU had to win two of three games on the road to get to the title game and those contests took the Penguins across the country. That journey ended in Chattanooga, Tenn., in the National Championship Game against McNeese State. In a tight contest, the Penguins trailed 9-3 entering the fourth quarter before the Cowboys committed a costly mistake. With 12:02 remaining, Jeff Fackrell intercepted a Blake Prejean pass at the YSU 35 to end a Cowboy threat and keep the Penguins within 9-3. Just over four minutes later, Demond Tidwell threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Renauld Ray and after Mark Griffi th’s extra point YSU led 10-9. The Cowboys had two fi nal chances only to be stopped each time by the Penguin defense. The YSU off ense came up big with a clock-consuming drive that took 5:07 of the fi nal 6:23 off the clock. McNeese took over with just 1:16 remaining and at its own 22-yard line. Four plays later, two of which were sacks by Harry Deligianis, the game was over. In the contest, the teams had remarkably similar statisics, YSU had 12 fi rst downs and 200 total yards while McNeese had 11 fi rst downs and 201 yards of total off ense. Youngstown State was seeded eighth in the playoff s following a 9-2 regular season. In the fi rst round, the Penguins opened with a 28-13 win over Hampton. Then the travels began. In the quarterfi nals, YSU trailed 21-0 at top-seed Villanova before mounting a furious rally. At halftime, the Penguins were behind 28-14 before scoring 23 straight points building a 37-28 lead. The Wildcats scored late and outyarded the Penguins 459-286. YSU’s postseason road trip continued in Spokane, Wash., against Eastern Washington. The Penguins led 17-0 on an Adrian Brown touchdown run, a Mike Stanec fumble return and a Mark Griffi th fi eld goal. But the Eagles responded with 14 third-quarter points to trim the defi cit to three. In the fourth, EWU was deep in YSU territory before Jake Anderson intercepted a pass ending the threat, and Brown added a touchdown for a 25-14 victory. In the regular season, YSU began the season by winning its fi rst six games -- over Slippery Rock, Kent State, at Boston, Hofstra, at Indiana State and over Buff alo -- before losing at Northern Iowa. YSU rebounded with wins over Illinois State, Southern Illinois and Southwest Missouri State before losing the regular-season fi nale 24-21 to Western Illinois. YSU led 21-10 before the Leathernecks scored in the third and in the fourth to win the Gateway title.
