� Junior wide receiver Derek Moye (48 catches for 785 yards and 6 touchdowns) is among seven offensive starters returning for the NittanyLions, including three starting wide receivers.

� Royster On Pace To BecomeCareer Rushing Leader

Senior tailback Evan Royster posted his secondconsecutive 1,000-yard season in 2009 and is on paceto become Penn State’s career rushing yardage leader.A first-team All-Big Ten choice, Royster gained 1,169yards last year and his 5.7 per carry average was bestin the conference among players with at least 110attempts. He had 205 carries and scored six touch-downs.

A Doak Walker Award candidate, Royster enters theseason with 2,918 rushing yards, needing 481 yards tobreak Curt Warner’s school record of 3,398. Roysterranks eighth in Penn State annals, needing just 82 yardsto become the sixth Nittany Lion with 3,000 careeryards.

Royster delivered six 100-yard rushing games lastseason, giving him 12 in his career, good for a tie foreighth in school history. Warner is the leader with 18century-busting efforts.

Tailback Stephfon Green gained 319 yards andscored three touchdowns last season, averaging 4.5yards per carry. The quick junior also averaged 13.3yards on his six receptions and 25.5 yards on four kick-off returns. Junior running back Joe Shery emerged asa productive runner, receiver and blocker last season,ranking fifth on the team with 21 catches for 186 yardsand one score and rushing for 68 yards on 22 carries.

� All-American Wisniewski To Lead LineSenior center Stefen Wisniewski returns to anchor

the offensive line, a unit which made significant progressas the 2009 season unfolded. Penn State was third inthe Big Ten in fewest sacks allowed and ranked No. 2 intotal offense. Five players with starting experiencereturn.

A two-year starter, Wisniewski was a third-team All-American last year and again should be among the toplinemen in the nation. Senior Lou Eliades started all 13games at right guard and junior DeOn’tae Pannell start-ed the first four games at right tackle and the last threeat left guard.

Junior Johnnie Troutman started eight consecutivegames at left guard before being slowed by an injury andshould be a significant contributor this year. SophomoreMatt Stankiewitch also started two games at guard andcould emerge as a big contributor.

� Productive Wide Receivers ReturnOne of the biggest questions entering the 2009 sea-

son was quickly answered, as an inexperienced widereceiver corps made plays in the opener against Akronand throughout the season.

Junior Derek Moye (48-785-6), senior Graham Zug(46-600-7) and junior Chaz Powell (28-366-3) all startednine or more games and played a significant role inDaryll Clark becoming the first Nittany Lion to throw for3,000 yards in a season. Moye cracked the 100-yardmark three times, led by career-highs with six catchesfor 138 yards against Akron in his first career start. Zugled the team with seven touchdown receptions, includingthree in the 35-10 win at Michigan and made sevencatches against Ohio State. Powell delivered a 79-yardlightning bolt on Penn State’s first play from scrimmageagainst Iowa, the Nittany Lions’ longest play from scrim-mage last year.

Senior Brett Brackett (3-13-1) and sophomoresCurtis Drake (8-98-0), Justin Brown (5-78-0) and DevonSmith (4-30-0) bring additional athleticism and play-making skills to the talented and deep unit.

Junior Andrew Szczerba (1-6-0) is the Nittany Lions’most experienced returning tight end after the gradua-tion of Andrew Quarless and Mickey Shuler.

� Senior Graham Zug (46 catches for 600 yards and 7 touch-downs) is one of three returning wide receivers who started nineor more games last season.

� Defensive end Jack Crawford is among five defensive starters returning from the No. 3 scoring defense in the nation last season.

� Five Starters ReturnFrom Top 10 Defense

Five starters return from a defensive unit that wasranked in the Top 10 nationally in rushing and scoringdefense for the fifth consecutive year and in the Top 15in total defense for the sixth straight season.

Senior defensive tackle Ollie Ogbu is a two-yearstarter and will anchor the line. Junior defensive endJack Crawford started every game last season andemerged as a playmaker. Three junior starters return inthe secondary in cornerback D’Anton Lynn and safetiesDrew Astorino andNick Sukay.

Six additional defensive players return that havestarting experience, including fifth-year senior line-backer Bani Gbadyu. The unit also will welcome thereturn of sophomore linebacker Michael Mauti, whomissed the 2009 season with a serious knee injury.

Among the top priorities will be replacing first-teamAll-America defensive tackle Jared Odrick and all threelinebackers from arguably the nation’s top unit —Navorro Bowman, Josh Hull and Sean Lee. The trioearned All-Big Ten honors last year, giving “LinebackerU.” three of the six spots on the all-conference teams.Bowman was a second-team All-American.

Penn State was one of only three teams that fin-ished in the top 15 nationally in rushing, total and scor-ing and pass efficiency defense, as well as sacks andtackles for loss in 2009, being joined by Oklahoma andTexas.

The Nittany Lions permitted just 12.2 points pergame to rank No. 3 in the nation last season. Penn Stateled the Big Ten, trailing only Nebraska (10.4 ppg) andAlabama (11.7 ppg) nationally. The Lions held 10 oppo-nents to 17 or fewer points, including five Big Ten foes.

Penn State was No. 6 nationally in rushing defense,allowing just 89.8 yards per game. The Lions held eightopponents to less than 100 rushing yards this past sea-son. Penn State allowed only five runs of 20 yards ormore all season, with the longest going for 28 yards. TheNittany Lions have not allowed a 100-yard rusher in thepast 16 games, the nation’s third-best streak, behindonly Alabama (34 games) and Ohio State (23).

Penn State ranked No. 9 in the nation in totaldefense at 274.5 ypg for its sixth consecutive Top 15 fin-ish. The Nittany Lions were No. 15 in pass efficiencydefense (105.62 rating), tied for No. 6 in tackles for loss(105, 8.08 avg.) and tied for No. 10 in sacks (37, 2.85avg.).

� Ogbu To Lead Defensive LineIn addition to Jared Odrick, the Nittany Lions have

lost the services of defensive end Jerome Hayes, whowas a strong leader within the 2009 senior class. Seniordefensive tackle Ollie Ogbu will be counted on to providecontinued strong play and leadership for the defensiveline. A two-year starter, he made 30 tackles, with 8.0tackles for loss, two sacks and a team-high three forcedfumbles last year.

Junior Devon Still made significant strides last sea-son coming off two injuries and should be a strong con-tender for the other starting tackle spot. He made 19stops last season, with 5.5 TFL and two sacks.

Junior defensive end Jack Crawford started everygame in 2009 and emerged as one of the Big Ten’s topdefensive playmakers. Crawford was second on theteam with 14.5 TFL, including 5.5 sacks for minus-44yards, and ranked in the Top 10 in the conference in bothcategories. Junior Eric Latimore started five contestslast year and also has demonstrated big-play capability,recording 3.5 sacks among his six minus-yardage plays.

Junior Kevion Latham (8 tackles, 4.0 TFL) and sopho-more Sean Stanley (11 tackles 2 sacks) also should bestrong challengers for significant playing time.

� Lion Linebacker UnitTo Feature Three New Starters

Among the most compelling battles during springpractice should be the ones for significant playing timeat linebacker. Seniors Bani Gbadyu (37 tackles) andChris Colasanti (18 tackles, 1 sack), junior Nate Stupar(31 tackles, 1 sack) and sophomores Gerald Hodges (3tackles) and Michael Mauti (26 tackles, 1.0 TFL in 2008)figure to be the primary challengers. Mauti took a med-ical redshirt last season after suffering a torn anteriorcruciate ligament in preseason practice.

Gbadyu has eight career starts and played in everygame last season, as did Stupar, who started two gameswhen Navorro Bowman was hurt and made a career-high 12 tackles against Akron.

� Trio Of Starters Return InSecondary

Penn State will return six players with significantexperience in the secondary, including three starters.

Starting cornerback A.J. Wallace has departed andthe top candidate likely will be sophomore StephonMorris, who played in every game last year on defenseand special teams. The hard-hitting Morris made 30tackles and likely will join junior D’Anton Lynn in thestarting unit. Lynn made significant strides last year,while starting every game, recording 35 stops (26 solo),with 3.5 TFL and five pass breakups.

Juniors Drew Astorino (62 tackles, 1 interception)and Nick Sukay (41 tackles, 2 interception, 11 PBU) arereturning starters at the safety positions. Astorino wasfourth on the squad in tackles and also recovered twofumbles. Sukay was challenged by injuries earlier in hiscareer, but he made very good progress last season andranked No. 3 in the Big Ten with 13 passes defended.

Senior Cedric Jeffries (12 tackles) and junior

Andrew Dailey (6 tackles, 1 interception) also haveextensive experience in the secondary and will chal-lenge for significant playing time.

� Placekicker Wagner ReturnsSenior placekicker Collin Wagner concluded his first

season as the starter by connecting on all four of hisfield goal attempts in the Capital One Bowl, including thegame-winner with 57 seconds to play. Wagner wasfourth in the Big Ten in scoring with 91 points, going 15-of-22 on field goals and connecting on all 46 of his PATattempts.

The Nittany Lions must replace All-Big Ten punterJeremy Boone, Penn State’s career leader, and kicksnapper Andrew Pitz. Junior Ryan Breen and redshirtfreshman Anthony Fera are the primary candidates.

Chaz Powell (16 KOR, 23.2 avg.) and StephfonGreen (4 KOR, 25.5 avg.) have been productive on thekickoff returns. Drew Astorino (7.9 avg.), Justin Brown(5.9 avg.) and Graham Zug (3.2 avg.) have experienceon punt returns.

� Senior defensive tackle Ollie Ogbu will be counted on to provide continued strong play and leadership for the defensive line. A two-year starter, he made 30 tackles, with 8.0 tackles for loss, two sacks and a team-high three forced fumbles last year.

DEPTH CHART

Safety Tyler Ahrenhold continues to make progressin his bid to earn time on the Penn State defense andspecial teams. Noted for his exemplary attitude andhard work, Ahrenhold will look to crack the secondaryrotation in 2010. His father, Frank, lettered for theNittany Lions from 1969-71.

Much responsibility was placed upon the shouldersof Drew Astorino last season and he responded with theleadership and productivity the secondary needed.During spring practice and preseason camp, strongsafety Astorino asserted himself as the quarterback ofthe secondary and he delivered a strong season withhis play and as a leader for the unit, a role he is familiarwith from throughout his athletic career. Playing in everygame, with 12 starts, the former General McLane HighSchool all-state selection earned honorable-mention All-Big Ten recognition in 2009. He led the team with 943plays, topped by 97 against Northwestern and 92 in theIndiana game. The multi-talented athlete ranked fourthon the team with 62 tackles (37 solo), the highest totalamong defensive backs and linemen. The instinctiveand intelligent Astorino also had one interception, oneTFL, four pass breakups and tied for the team lead withtwo fumble recoveries. One of the squad’s surest tack-lers and ball-handlers, he also saw duty on punt returns,with seven returns for a team-best 7.9 average. Astorino

was intent on helping make sure cornerbacks A.J.Wallace and Knowledge Timmons were victorious onSenior Day, as he recorded a career-high 10 tackles inthe 31-20 victory over Indiana. In the 35-10 triumph atMichigan, Astorino made four tackles (three solo) andgrabbed his third career interception, picking off TateForcier near the Penn State goal line and returning it 30yards. The following week, he made a season-high fivesolo tackles (six total) in the 34-13 win at Northwestern,helping hold the Wildcats to less than half their seasonscoring average. Astorino’s hustle and assertivenesshelped him secure his second fumble recovery of theyear, falling on a loose ball caused by a Kevion Lathamsack. The hard-hitting Astorino also made six tackleseach against Syracuse, Illinois, Eastern Illinois and OhioState, with a tackle for minus-three yards in the win overthe Orange. He made five stops and recovered a fum-ble against Temple that led to a field goal and made fivetackles (four solo) in the regular-season finale, a 42-14victory at Michigan State. He had a pass breakup inhelping the Lions beat LSU, 19-17, in the 2010 CapitalOne Bowl. Astorino, who led General McLane toPennsylvania state football and basketball champi-onships in 2006-07, is a hard worker who made excel-lent progress and will be counted on for substantial con-tributions the next two seasons.

Quinn Barham played in six games last season,gaining experience and providing depth for an offensiveline that had three new starters at the beginning of the2009 campaign. Barham has experience playing guardand center during his career and with continuedimprovement should have an opportunity to play a larg-er role for the offense in 2010. He served as the topreserve to Lou Eliades at right guard, earning snaps inthe wins over Akron, Syracuse, Temple, Illinois, EasternIllinois and Michigan State. Barham saw action on 123snaps, led by 36 in the Syracuse victory. Barham is oneof three Nittany Lions from North Carolina.

Brandon Beachum proved to be a stabilizing forcein the backfield last season, utilizing his many skills asan effective runner, receiver and blocker. He appearedin the first 11 games and was seeing more playing timeas the season progressed, but suffered a torn anteriorcruciate ligament in his right knee as a member of thekickoff return unit against Indiana. Beachum hadsurgery soon after the injury and his rehabilitation willtake a minimum of nine months. In the early portion ofthe season, Beachum was the No. 2 fullback and playedon special teams, where he made nine tackles, mostamong all offensive players. But, when Stephfon Greensuffered a sprained ankle against Minnesota, Beachumwas shifted to tailback and continued his progression.He finished fourth on the team in rushing with 113 yardson 24 carries (4.7) with one touchdown. The formerCardinal Mooney High School standout scored on atwo-yard run in the Nittany Lions’ 34-13 victory atNorthwestern, gaining 25 yards on just four carries. Astrong and talented athlete, Beachum gained a season-high 28 yards on four carries against Eastern Illinois,also recording two special teams tackles. He alsogained 20 yards on four attempts in the 20-0 win overMinnesota and had 23 yards on seven carries in the 35-10 win at Michigan. He also had three receptions for 29yards, including a 14-yard catch against Akron. He wason the field for 234 snaps, topped by 38 in the Michigangame. Beachum should be close to 100 percent in timefor preseason camp in August. Beachum and runningback Michael Zordich were prep teammates at CardinalMooney. They are among six Nittany Lions from Ohio.

Brett Brackett emerged as a leader of a talented,but youthful corps of Nittany Lion receivers during the2009 campaign. He was one of the few wideouts withsignificant playing time heading into last season and hewill be looked to for leadership and production duringhis senior season. Playing in every game, Brackett’sthree catches for 13 yards and one touchdown are notindicative of the impact he made on the Nittany Lionoffense. With great size and athleticism, he has devel-oped into a strong and reliable blocker and receiver.The former Lawrence High School standout has playedan instrumental role on short-yardage and goal line sit-uations. He helped Penn State convert 48 percent of itsthird-down opportunities, which led the Big Ten andranked eighth nationally. He also played a direct role inhelping the offense convert 88 percent of its Red Zonevisits into points. Brackett made a two-yard touchdowncatch against Eastern Illinois. He also had a receptionagainst Akron and a season-long 18-yard catch againstIndiana. He was on the field for 156 snaps. Brackett ispresident of Penn State’s Uplifting Athletes chapter.

Chris Colasanti did not play in the first two games ofthe 2009 campaign as the coaching staff considered aredshirt season, but early-season injuries to NavorroBowman and Sean Lee brought the hard-hitting line-backer back to the field against Temple. The coachingstaff knew that the talented and experienced Colasanticould provide consistently productive play for thedefense and special teams and he delivered. Playing inthe final 11 contests, he made 18 total tackles (ninesolo) last season, serving as the top reserve at middlelinebacker. The former Brother Rice High School stand-out made a career-high six stops against Eastern llli-nois, including his first career sack. He also made twosolo stops each in the victories at Michigan andNorthwestern. Colasanti added three stops in the 19-17Capital Bowl win over LSU. He was on the field for 196snaps, led by 28 against Ohio State. With the gradua-tion of Bowman, Lee and Josh Hull from one of thenation’s premier linebacker units, Colasanti should be astrong candidate for a significant role this year. One ofthree Nittany Lions from Michigan, he is a two-timeAcademic All-Big Ten selection. Colasanti brought a3.57 grade-point average into the spring semester andis a potential ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America® candidate.

The outcome of last season’s Ohio State game isone Jack Crawford has filed away. What the talenteddefensive end will remember about the clash with PennState’s border rival is having a member of his family inthe stands for the first time in his collegiate career. Bornin England, Crawford moved to the United States in2005, intending to pursue basketball as his primarysport. As a junior at St. Augustine Prep in 2006, hejoined the football team and found immediate successas a defensive end and tight end. During his senior sea-son, the London native emerged as a standout, leadingto his matriculation to Happy Valley. And when theBuckeyes visited Beaver Stadium, one of his olderbrothers, Douglas, made the trek from London, becom-ing the first member of the Crawford family to watchJack play in person. As a true freshman in 2008,Crawford played in every game. The highly-skilled ath-lete earned a starting assignment in preseason in 2009and quickly demonstrated his play-making skills byranking second on the team with 14.5 tackles for loss-es. He possesses outstanding physical attributes, ath-leticism and determination and made significantprogress during his initial year as a starter. In 2009,Crawford finished ninth in the Big Ten in tackles for loss-es (14.5 for minus-67) and 10th with 5.5 sacks (minus-44). He was second on the team in minus-yardage hits,earning honorable-mention all-conference honors.Crawford made 31 tackles, was tied for the team leadwith two fumble recoveries, had one forced fumble andthree pass breakups. He had at least one minus-yardage play in 10 games last season. He saw actionon 677 snaps, the sixth-highest total among 2010returnees, topped by 68 against Iowa. Crawford had amemorable first career start in the win over Akron,recording two tackles, both for a loss, and his firstcareer sack. He had a big game against Temple, post-ing three tackles, including 2.5 TFL, and his second

sack. Crawford registered a career-best five tackles,with 1.0 TFL, and combined on a sack against Iowa. Inthe win at Illinois, he was very productive, totaling fourtackles, including 1.5 sacks, and recovering a fumble atthe Illinois 14 to set up a touchdown. His third sack ofthe year was big, as he dropped Juice Williams for a 15-yard loss late in the first half. Crawford’s pressure alsoforced Williams into an intentional grounding penalty,pushing the Illini out of field goal range. Against EasternIllinois, Crawford had two tackles, one of which was asack that resulted in a loss of 15 yards. In the 35-10thumping of Michigan, Crawford made three solo tack-les, all for a loss (minus-9 yards). His standout perfor-mance included a sack and a forced fumble. In the 34-13 win at Northwestern, he made two solo tackles,including one for a loss of five yards, and recovered afumble on the game’s opening drive. The recovery ledto a field goal. Crawford made two pass breakups in theSenior Day win over Indiana. In the Capital One Bowlwin over LSU, he recorded one TFL for minus-twoyards. Crawford has tremendous work-ethic and energyand a very bright future as a significant contributor forthe defense the next two seasons. He is one of 10Nittany Lions from New Jersey.

Mike Farrell has made good progress during his firsttwo years in Happy Valley. Farrell served as a topreserve at left and right tackle in 2009 and continues towork hard in his bid for more playing time. He helpedPenn State gain more than 500 yards in wins overAkron and Eastern Illinois, playing in five games lastseason. A first-team all-state selection at Shady SideAcademy, Farrell has good size and skills. With thegraduation of starters Dennis Landolt and Ako Poti,Farrell should be among the primary candidates to earnsignificant time in the tackle rotation this season.

Playing in a program well-renowned for its line-backers, Bani Gbadyu was one of the primary contribu-tors for the unit during the 2009 season. He saw actionin all 13 games on defense and special teams and willlook to emerge as a larger contributor during his seniorseason. Gbadyu ranked seventh on the squad with 37tackles, the highest total among players that did notstart at least half the games. He also had 0.5 tackles forloss, one forced fumble and a pass breakup. He playedon 374 snaps, led by 53 in the win at Michigan State.Gbadyu was thrust into the starting lineup against Iowa,when Sean Lee suffered a sprained knee the weekprior, and he responded with seven tackles. The contestagainst the Hawkeyes would mark the first of five con-secutive starts for Gbadyu and he made the most of theopportunity. He recorded a career-high eight hits in thewin at Illinois and made five stops and forced a fumblein the 35-10 victory at Michigan. Gbadyu also made sixtackles in the win over Temple. An instinctive athlete,Gbadyu is one of the most experienced players on thePenn State defense and should be among the primarychallengers for a starting assignment at “Linebacker U.”in 2010. Gbadyu is one of 10 Nittany Lions fromMaryland.

D’ANTON LYNN

The abundance of talented football student-athletesfrom Texas has found a more well-traveled path toHappy Valley in recent years. Four returnees on the2010 squad are Lone Star State products, including cor-nerback D’Anton Lynn. He was one of the most unher-alded members of the Nittany Lions’ Top 10 defenselast season, just quietly and effectively going about hisbusiness of covering some of the nation’s top wideouts.Lynn and the secondary should take great pride in theirefforts to hold Minnesota’s Eric Decker, the Big Ten’sleading receiver at the time, to just one catch and blank-ing the Golden Gophers, 20-0, on Homecoming. With allfour secondary starters from 2008 having departed, thevastly talented and intelligent Lynn grabbed ahold ofone of the starting corner spots in preseason and made

substantial progress. A starter in every game, he earnedhonorable-mention All-Big Ten accolades. Lynn made35 tackles (26 solo), eighth on the team and tops amongcornerbacks. He had 3.5 tackles for loss, including halfa sack against Iowa, and five pass breakups. He was onthe field for 790 snaps last season, the fifth-highest totalamong returnees, topped by 81 against Indiana. A quickand instinctive player, Lynn stepped into a unit that hadsome uncertainty in August due to inexperience andwas a productive and stabilizing factor. An all-state hon-oree at Celina High School, he recorded a career-higheight tackles (five solo) in the 34-13 victory atNorthwestern, helping hold the Wildcats to less than halftheir season scoring average. Lynn made six solo stopsin the Senior Day win over Indiana and had five hits inthe win over Eastern Illinois. He recorded three solotackles, with a minus-yardage play, in the 42-14 win atMichigan State, helping hold the Spartans to 94 rushingyards and 17 points below their season scoring figure.Lynn made one tackle in the Capital One Bowl victoryover LSU. His father, Anthony Lynn, was an All-Southwest Conference running back at Texas Tech andis the running backs coach with the New York Jets. Atough and determined player, the younger Lynn has avery promising future and should continue to be a sig-nificant contributor for the defense the next two sea-sons.

STEPHON MORRIS

Matt McGloin is a skilled athlete with a strong andaccurate arm who has made good progress in his twoyears with the Nittany Lions. McGloin played in threegames during the 2009 season as the No. 3 quarter-back and is working hard to put himself into position tochallenge for a more significant role this season. Theformer West Scranton High School standout saw hisfirst collegiate action in the win over Syracuse and hadtwo pass attempts against Eastern Illinois. McGloin alsotook some snaps in the big win at Michigan State.McGloin and redshirt freshman tackle Eric Shrive wereprep teammates at West Scranton.

Just as one former Eleanor Roosevelt (Md.) HighSchool standout departed Happy Valley, another onearrived ready to also make a big impact for the NittanyLions. The impact Derrick Williams had on the PennState program is well documented, as he, Justin Kingand several current fifth-year seniors made their com-mitment to Penn State during the 2005 signing period,pledging to return the Nittany Lions to national champi-onship contention. They did that and more so, with the2009 fifth-year seniors delivering 51 wins. CornerbackStephon Morris arrived on campus last summer and he,too, has wasted little time in becoming an important con-tributor for a team that has played in four different NewYear’s Day bowl games in the past five years. Anexceptional cornerback, running back and kick returnerat Eleanor Roosevelt, the athletic and highly-skilledMorris made a seamless transition into a prominent con-tributor for Penn State’s Top 10 defense during his truefreshman season. He should be a strong challenger fora starting assignment in 2010. His impact is felt as a

productive corner and special teams player and by theopposition, as Morris easily is among the squad’sbiggest hitters. One of eight true freshmen to see timein 2009, Morris made 30 tackles (24 solo), grabbed aninterception and broke up a pass. He also delivered onehit for a loss at Michigan State, where he made his firstcareer start. Blessed with great instincts and work-ethic,he saw action in all 13 games and 505 snaps, the high-est total among the 2009 true freshmen, led by 77 in thewin at Northwestern. With senior A.J. Wallace injuredand out of the lineup, Morris made the most of his firstcareer start in East Lansing. The aggressive defendertied his season-high with five tackles (four solo) andplayed a significant role in limiting the Spartans to just14 points, 17 below their average. In the Capital OneBowl against LSU, he again tied his season-high byrecording five solo tackles in the big 19-17 win. Morrisalso posted a season-high five stops against OhioState. He made three solo stops in the 34-13 win atNorthwestern and three hits in the Senior Day victoryover Indiana. The physical and swift athlete saw hisplaying time increase in the second half of the seasonas he became more comfortable, making 23 stops in thefinal six games. He pulled down his first career inter-ception at Illinois on a Juice Williams’ pass, returning it70 yards on the final play of the first half. In addition toplaying a significant role in the secondary, the sure-tackling Morris has established himself as an impactplayer on special teams. Morris should be a prime con-tender for a starting job in the secondary and has a verybright future over the next three seasons. He is one of10 Nittany Lions from Maryland.

Any questions as to how the Penn State receivingcorps would fare after losing three of its most prolificpass catchers in program history to graduation werequickly answered in the 2009 season-opener withAkron. In his first career start, Derek Moye exhibitedsome of the skills and athleticism that had made him anall-state running back and state champion sprinter atRochester (Pa.) High School. He set career-highs withsix receptions for 138 yards and one touchdown, aver-aging 23.0 yards per catch. The 138 receiving yardswere a 2009 team season-high and the most by aNittany Lion since Deon Butler posted a school-record216 yards against Northwestern in 2006. Moye madefour receptions of 20 yards or more, including a leaping42-yard effort to get the Lions deep into Akron territoryand set up a touchdown late in the first half for a 31-0lead. The game was the first of numerous superb per-formances last season by Moye, who earned honor-able-mention All-Big Ten recognition. The talented andswift wideout with great size led the team with 48 recep-tions for 785 yards (16.4) and had six touchdowns.Moye was ranked ninth in the Big Ten in receivingyardage at 60.4 ypg and his 16.4-yard average percatch was second-highest among the conference’s top10 receivers. His 48 receptions were tied for No. 7 inschool season history and his 785 receiving yards weregood for No. 13. The six-catch effort against Akronwould be the first of four contests in 2009 where Moyemade half a dozen grabs, including three consecutivewins. He led the team with six receptions for 120 yardsin the 20-0 Homecoming win over Minnesota. Moyemade a superb 12-yard diving touchdown catch andmanaged to drag a foot in bounds to give the Lions a 13-0 lead near the end of the first half. Moye made sixcatches the following week in the 35-10 win at Michigan,gaining 53 yards. All six catches came in the first 20minutes to significantly help the offense get off to a faststart. Moye tied his career-high for the third consecutivegame with six receptions at Northwestern, gaining 123yards. The 100-yard receiving game was his third of theyear. The sure-handed and strong Moye streaked pasthis defender down the sideline and grabbed a 53-yardscoring strike from Daryll Clark in the fourth quarter togive the Nittany Lions a 27-13 lead. The 53-yard recep-tion was the longest of his career. Moye made a four-yard touchdown catch against Temple, made two catch-es for 48 yards against Iowa and had a 25-yard scoringgrab against Eastern Illinois. In the 42-14 victory atMichigan State, Moye was active in the offensive out-burst, hauling in four receptions for 56 yards to helpClark accumulate 310 passing yards. Moye grabbed a37-yard touchdown catch to give Penn State a 7-0 leadin the Capital One Bowl win over LSU. He made threecatches for 53 yards against the Tigers. Moye sawaction on 660 snaps last year, the seventh-highest total

When Kevin Newsome arrived on the Penn State campusin January 2009, the highly-regarded player had the luxury ofknowing he was going to spend a year learning from a first-team All-Big Ten quarterback. He also knew that he needed toquickly get assimilated and comfortable with the offense witha long-term eye toward 2010, but sooner in order to gain somegame experience while Daryll Clark was still guiding the team.Newsome greatly benefitted from the early enrollment, partic-ipating in winter workouts before the sun came up, 15 springpractices and summer workouts with Clark, Matt McGloin andthe wideouts before preseason camp began. The NittanyLions held each of their first three opponents to seven pointsor less, permitting the athletic and vastly talented Newsome togain some immediate experience. One of eight true freshmento see time last season, he played in 10 games and has madesubstantial progress over the past year. Newsome is a quickand elusive runner and continues to improve as a passer,

completing better than 70 percent of his attempts during histrue freshman season. A physical player with an infectioussmile, Newsome completed 8-of-11 passes (72.7) for 66yards, with a long completion of 14 yards. He was fifth on thesquad with 95 rushing yards, averaging 4.8 yards on his 20attempts, and scoring twice. Newsome made his Penn Statedebut in the season-opener with Akron, going 3-of-4 for 26yards and gaining 12 yards on two carries. A U.S. Army All-American at Hargrave Military Academy, he had a 15-yardburst in the win over Temple and a 16-yard run in the win atIllinois. Newsome gained a season-high 49 yards on sevencarries against Eastern Illinois, scoring his first career TD on anine-yard run. He also established season-highs in passingagainst the Panthers, going 4-of-5 for 34 yards. Newsome car-ried the ball three times for 13 yards and a TD in the win atMichigan State. Rated the nation’s No. 10 prep quarterback byScout.com in 2008, Newsome has made significant improve-ment during the past year and will be a strong candidate forthe starting quarterback assignment this fall. Newsome, whoenjoys playing the piano, is one of six Lions from Virginia.

Ollie Ogbu quietly delivered a highly productive cam-paign last season in his second year as a starter at defen-sive tackle. A starter in 22 games over the past two sea-sons, Ogbu has played a significant role in Penn State’sTop 10 defense. The senior takes great pride in the NittanyLions continuing to rank among the nation’s most difficultteams to run the ball against. Penn State has not alloweda 100-yard rusher in the last 16 games, the nation’s third-

longest streak. The Nittany Lions held eight opponents toless than 100 rushing yards last season and ranked No. 6in the nation in rushing defense at a measly 89.8 yards pergame. An honorable-mention 2009 All-Big Ten selection,he started every game last year. The hard-working andtough Ogbu brings a great attitude to the field and will becounted on for leadership and more big plays this year,especially with the departures of Jared Odrick and JeromeHayes from the D-Line. Ogbu made 30 tackles last year,with 8.0 tackles for loss (minus-19), two sacks and a team-high three forced fumbles. He ranked sixth in TFL on ateam that led the Big Ten and was sixth in the nation inminus-yardage plays (105 TFL, 8.08 per game). The tal-ented and mobile Ogbu has a great motor and enthusiasmfor the game and continues to make good progress in hisplay and as a leader for the D-Line. The Staten Island prod-uct recorded a career-high six tackles in the season-open-ing 31-7 win over Akron, including 2.5 TFL. He helped holdthe Zips to eight first downs (none in the first half), 28 rush-ing yards and 186 total yards. The strong and athleticOgbu made three tackles against Temple and forced afumble that was recovered by Drew Astorino at the Owls’23 and led to a field goal. The former Milford Academy All-American made two tackles in the 52-3 victory overEastern Illinois. He recorded a sack, 1.5 TFL and a forcedfumble that Navorro Bowman returned 91 yards for atouchdown, the longest fumble return in program history.The relentless Ogbu had three stops in the 20-0 blankingof Minnesota, including a minus-yardage play. He had abig game in the 34-13 win at Northwestern, recording fourtackles and a sack, as the Lions held the Wildcats to lessthan half their season scoring average. In the 42-14 win atMichigan State, Ogbu made two tackles, including one fora loss. He helped the Nittany Lions hold the Spartans 17points below their season average and to just 94 yardsrushing. Ogbu recorded two tackles and forced a fumble inthe big win over LSU in the Capital One Bowl. Ogbu sawaction on 423 snaps in 2009, led by 43 against Iowa. He isone of eight Nittany Lions from New York, five of whom arefrom metropolitan New York City.

Chima Okoli made good progress last season in hisefforts to earn more playing time. Okoli played in sevengames at defensive tackle, recording a tackle in theseason-opener against Akron. The coaching staff maytake a look at Okoli on the offensive line during springpractice. He is one of six Nittany Lions from Virginia.

The 2009 campaign was a tale of three varying seg-ments for DeOn’tae Pannell, all encompassed within the 12weeks of the regular-season.Heading into the season, PennState needed to fill three holes on the offensive line left bythree graduated All-Big Ten starters. After a strong springpractice, Pannell found himself atop the depth chart at lefttackle. But, in August, the talented and strong sophomoreflipped tackle spots with Dennis Landolt and started the ini-tial four games at right tackle. During the Illinois game, theformer Wylie E. Groves High School standout sprained anankle, though, forcing him to the sideline. Pannell missed thenext two games and returned to the field to help Penn Statewin at Michigan and Northwestern. During the Ohio Stategame, left guard Johnnie Troutman suffered a leg injury. Thefollowing week, Pannell was shifted to left guard, where hestarted the final two regular-season contests, helping theLions score a combined 73 points in victories over Indiana

and Michigan State. In the 42-14 win over the Spartans, hehelped set the tone for one of Penn State’s most dominatingoffensive efforts of the season. The Nittany Lions amassed512 yards, their fourth game of 500 or more yards last sea-son, and had a season-high 10 plays of 20 yards or morefrom scrimmage, with four going for touchdowns. The high-ly-skilled and versatile Pannell is an instrumental member ofan offensive line that helped Penn State average 4.7 yardsper carry and 406.9 yards per game, second-best in the BigTen. Pannell’s development helped to stabilize and improve

the line of an offense that ranked No. 5 in the conference inscoring (28.8 ppg) and was the only Big Ten team ranked inthe top five of the conference’s four primary offensive statis-tical categories: total, scoring, rushing (169.8 ypg) and pass-ing offense (237.2 ypg). Behind the protection of Pannell andhis linemates, quarterback Daryll Clark finished No. 2 in theBig Ten in passing efficiency and threw a school-record 24touchdown passes. Penn State finished third in the Big Tenin fewest sacks allowed. Pannell saw action on 402 snapslast year, led by 77 against Indiana. He and Troutman mayvie for the starting assignment at left guard during springpractice and into preseason. Pannell has a great work-ethicand attitude and should have an opportunity to play a signif-icant role for the offense the next two seasons. He is one ofthree Nittany Lions from Michigan.

As Daryll Clark sold the hand-off to Evan Royster tothe Iowa defense, Chaz Powell was flying downfield andpast a Hawkeye defender. As Powell crossed midfield,he looked up into the Beaver Stadium lights, saw thepigskin hurtling toward him through the rain, gained sep-aration and caught the ball in stride near the 35-yardline, racing into the end zone as the Whitehouse crowdof 109,316 erupted. The 79-yard scoring strike on theNittany Lions’ first play from scrimmage was the longestcatch of Powell’s career, Clark’s longest career comple-tion and Penn State’s longest play from scrimmage in2009. The play also was tied for the eighth-longest com-pletion in school history and highlighted the athleticismand skills Powell brings to the offense and specialteams. Playing in 12 games last year, with nine starts,he finished fourth on the squad with 28 receptions for366 yards (13.1) and three touchdowns. Powell wasninth in the Big Ten in kickoff returns with a 23.2 aver-age, with a long of 54 yards. He was on the field for 395snaps last year, led by 53 against the Hawkeyes. Powellmade a team and career-high seven receptions for 65yards in the season-opening win over Akron, includingan eight-yard touchdown reception from Clark. Powellmade his first career start against Syracuse and led theteam with four catches for 40 yards against Temple. Inthe primetime meeting with Iowa, Powell made threereceptions for a career-high 96 yards, including the 79-yard touchdown. Powell led the Lions with four catchesfor 79 yards in the Eastern Illinois game, including aleaping 51-yard catch. He added a 19-yard run on areverse. Powell kept a drive alive at Michigan when hepicked up 11 yards on a reverse play on third down. Hedelivered a big play when he returned the opening kick-off of the second half 54 yards, the Lions’ longest kick-off return of 2009. The return set up a touchdown in the35-10 win. Powell made five receptions for 39 yards inthe 34-13 win at Northwestern. He had a six-yard run onthe second play of the Indiana game, but left with ashoulder injury. He did not play in the win at MichiganState due to the shoulder injury. Powell returned to thestarting lineup in the Capital One Bowl win over LSU,where he hauled in one reception for 11 yards. Powellis a gifted player who with continued hard work shouldcontinue to take on a larger role with the offense andspecial teams the next two seasons.

A.J. Price has provided depth for the wide receivingcorps, but is anxious for the opportunity to gain moretime on the field in 2010. He played in six games lastseason, including the Big Ten road wins against Illinoisand Michigan State, but did not have any catches. Theformer South Lakes High School standout has goodspeed and athleticism and, with continued hard work,should have an opportunity to earn more time in thewideout rotation. He is one of six Nittany Lions fromVirginia.

Evan Royster has distinguished himself amongst allthe superlative running backs that have worn the blue andwhite. His 22-yard burst on his first carry in the 2009 win atMichigan State pushed him past the 1,000-yard mark forthe second consecutive year, becoming just the seventhNittany Lion to record multiple 1,000-yard campaigns. Thevastly talented and intelligent Royster has joined a greatfraternity. Curt Warner, Tony Hunt, Blair Thomas, CurtisEnis, Ki-Jana Carter and Heisman Trophy winner JohnCappelletti are the only other Lions to accomplish the feat.The quick and elusive Royster already has passed someof the Penn State greats in career rushing, entering theseason in eighth place with 2,918 yards. All-AmericansLydell Mitchell (2,934) and Larry Johnson (2,953) are nexton the list. An All-America and Doak Walker Award candi-date, Royster stands 481 yards away from breakingWarner’s school career record of 3,398 rushing yards.Penn State began the 2009 season with three new offen-sive linemen and four different starting O-Line units in thefirst six games, but the former Westfield High Schoolstandout built on his successful 2008 campaign by eclips-ing the 100-yard mark in six games, giving him 12 careercentury-busting performances. It should come as no sur-prise that when Royster and the Lions find success on theground the team benefits, as Penn State is 12-0 when hecracks the century mark. Royster was selected 2009 first-team All-Big Ten by the coaches and media after receivingsecond-team accolades in 2008. He was ranked No. 2 inthe Big Ten in rushing at 89.9 ypg and his 5.7 per carryaverage was first among all conference players with atleast 110 carries. The instinctive and strong Royster alsowas fifth in the Big Ten in all-purpose yards (104.9 ypg). Hegained 1,169 yards on 205 carries in 2009, with six touch-downs. He also had 16 receptions for 187 yards (11.7) andtwo scores and tallied a team-high 1,364 all-purpose yards.Royster made a career-long 49-yard touchdown receptionin the first quarter of the 28-7 win over Syracuse. His 61receiving yards for the game also were a career-high.Royster carried the ball 19 times for 134 yards in the winover Temple. He gave Penn State a 14-3 lead in the sec-ond quarter with a seven-yard touchdown run and gained119 yards on just 15 carries in the first half, including a 33-yard burst. Royster gained 69 yards against Iowa, becom-ing the 17th Nittany Lion to eclipse 2,000 career rushingyards. He had 105 yards and scored a touchdown in thewin at Illinois. Royster and Stephfon Green (120 yards)

became the first tandem of Nittany Lion running backs toeclipse 100 yards in a Big Ten game. Royster ran for 94yards on just eight carries (11.8 avg.), all in the first half, inPenn State’s 52-3 victory over Eastern Illinois. He deliv-ered a season-high 137 yards on 23 carries againstMinnesota and had a 20-carry, 100-yard rushing perfor-mance in the 35-10 win at Michigan. Royster had a 41-yarddash on the Lions’ first drive to set up a touchdown.Royster gained 118 yards on 15 carries in the 34-13 win atNorthwestern. He sprinted for a 69-yard touchdown earlyin the fourth quarter, the longest run of his career and theteam’s longest run of the 2009 season. Royster moved into10th place in the Penn State record books against OhioState. He tallied 134 all-purpose yards against Indiana (95rushing, 39 receiving) in the 31-20 Senior Day victory. Henotched one touchdown rushing and a 13-yard receivingtouchdown. Royster surpassed the 100-yard mark for thesixth time in 2009 by gaining 114 yards in the 42-14 win atMichigan State.

Devon Smith stepped onto the practice field for thefirst time last August looking to make an immediateimpact with the Penn State receiving corps. It didn’t takelong for him to put his tremendous speed on display.Having exhibited sub-4.3 40-yard speed, among thefastest 40 times in program history, Smith earned imme-diate playing time as a true freshman, making his debutin the season-opener with Akron. The former WestlakeHigh School standout tallied two receptions for 25yards, had two kick returns for 43 yards and one rush forseven yards in an impressive collegiate debut. Smithappeared in 11 games last season, making four catch-es for 30 yards, rushing for 33 yards on just four carries(8.2 avg.) and gaining 91 yards on five kickoff returns.

Smith suffered a mild concussion against Iowa and didnot travel for the Illinois game. He returned to the fieldthe following week to deliver a season-long 18-yardscamper against Eastern Illinois. He was on the field for100 snaps last year, led by 17 against Temple. Smithwas a Maryland state champion in the 100 and 200meters and earned wide receiver MVP honors at a 2007Nike camp. Possessing great quickness, athleticismand instincts, Smith has the ability to influence theopposing defense with, or without, the ball in his hands.The multi-talented player will need to continue to workhard and improve in his bid to play a more significantrole with the offense and special teams in 2010. Smithis one of 10 Nittany Lions from Maryland.

In his first season on the field, Matt Stankiewitchmade good progress and provided depth for the offen-sive line during the 2009 campaign. The starting leftguard against Akron and Syracuse, Stankiewitch playedin every game last season on offense and specialteams. He helped Penn State gain 515 yards, its sec-ond-highest total of the season, in the 31-7 win over theZips. Stankiewitch saw action on 205 snaps in 2009, ledby 59 against Akron. The former Blue Mountain HighSchool standout has good skills and size. With the grad-uation of O-Line starters Dennis Landolt and Ako Poti,

Stankiewitch should have an opportunity to earn a larg-er role for the offense in the fall.

The Nittany Lions entered the 2009 season lackingin experience at defensive end and the coaching staffquickly turned to true freshman Sean Stanley to helpprovide depth and the ability to make big plays. The tal-ented and athletic Stanley made his debut in the open-er with Akron and played in 12 games, making 11 tack-les, including 2.5 for a loss, with one forced fumble anda pass breakup. The former Gaithersburg High Schoolstandout had two sacks for minus-15 yards, droppingthe quarterback in the wins over Illinois and Indiana.Stanley also forced Juice Williams to fumble on a sackand Jack Crawford recovered at the Illini 14-yard line inthe Lions’ win in Champaign. Stanley’s season-hightackle total of two came in his first career game, againstAkron, and was matched in the wins over Illinois,Indiana and Michigan State. He played on 160 snaps,topped by 23 in the win at Michigan State. Stanleyearned Washington Post All-Met accolades after mak-ing 78 tackles as a senior, including 24 minus-yardageplays. He recorded 12 sacks and forced five fumbles.Stanley has a bright future for a defensive end unit thatlost the services of Jerome Hayes. He is one of 10Nittany Lions from Maryland.

DEVON STILL

It has been a long and challenging road for defen-sive tackle Devon Still, but last year he emerged as oneof the squad’s most improved players during his first fullseason on the field. Having suffered a torn anterior cru-ciate ligament in his left knee as a true freshman in2007, Still’s hard work in his rehabilitation seeminglywent for naught when he suffered a broken ankle during2008 preseason camp. Still battled back to play in the2008 season-finale with Michigan State and afterremaining healthy through the 2009 spring practice andpreseason, became a valuable contributor for the D-Line. Playing in every game last year, the talented andhard-charging Still made 19 stops, including 5.5 tacklesfor minus-15 yards. Still recorded two sacks, includingdropping Tate Forcier for a 10-yard loss in the NittanyLions’ 35-10 win at Michigan. He recorded a minus-yardage play in five of the final six contests. Still madea career-high three tackles each against Syracuse andOhio State and had two stops in six other games. Herecorded two tackles in the Capital One Bowl, includingone for negative yardage. Still was on the field for 348plays last year, led by 45 in the win over Indiana. Withthe graduation of All-American Jared Odrick, Still shouldbe a primary contender for a starting assignment in2010. He is among five Nittany Lions from Delaware.

The breadth of talent at “Linebacker U.” never wasmore evident than at the beginning of the 2009 season,when both of Penn State’s returning All-Big Ten line-backers suffered injuries that kept them off the field formultiple games. The initial injury was suffered by NavorroBowman in the first quarter of the season-opener withAkron. Nate Stupar got the call and responded with thetop performance of his career to maintain the productivi-ty of one of the nation’s premier linebacker units. The tal-ented and instinctive Stupar recorded a career-high 12tackles (eight solo), including a sack, in the win over theZips to launch a season that saw him play in every gameon defense and special teams. The former State CollegeArea High School standout made 31 tackles, the second-highest total among defensive reserves. He also had 1.5tackles for loss and one interception. Stupar was on thefield for 324 plays last year, led by 65 against Akron.Stupar earned his first career start against Syracuse andmade five tackles. He also collected his first career inter-ception, returning it 17 yards to the Orange two to set upa touchdown. The hard-hitting and athletic Stupar startedagainst Temple and again recorded five tackles, helpinghold the Owls to two field goals. He suffered a slight anklesprain that limited his time the following week againstIowa. In the road win at Illinois, he made three hits and hehad two stops each against Ohio State and Indiana.Stupar is one of the squad’s top students, bringing a 3.60grade-point average into the spring semester, havingearned a 3.85 GPA last fall. He received Academic All-Big Ten honors in 2009 and should be a strong candidatefor ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America® acco-lades. As a State College native and a member of one ofthe prominent families in program history, Stupar has anappreciation and understanding of Penn State football toa higher degree than most of his teammates. With thegraduation of all three starting linebackers from last year,Stupar should be among the primary candidates to play asignificant role for the defense and special teams the nexttwo years.

The Nittany Lions opened the first and last game ofthe 2009 regular-season with a pair of running backs inthe starting lineup — tailback Evan Royster and fullbackJoe Suhey. It certainly was appropriate for Suhey to getthe opening nod to bookend what was a highly produc-tive season. Playing in every game in 2009, he hasdemonstrated the ability to contribute as a rusher,receiver and blocker. The athletic and sure-handedSuhey finished seventh on the team with 254 all-pur-pose yards. He was fifth on the squad with 21 recep-tions for 186 yards and one touchdown and gained 68rushing yards on 22 carries. Suhey played on 361snaps last season, led by 44 in the big win over LSU inthe Capital One Bowl. The former Loyola Academystandout finished the regular-season with a strong per-formance. He made three catches for 40 yards in thewin at Michigan State, including a leaping 30-yardcatch-and-run down the far sideline for his first careerreceiving touchdown. The reception was a career-longand gave Penn State a 21-7 lead in the eventual 42-14victory. The tough and assertive Suhey also gained 16yards on just three carries against the Spartans. In hisfirst career start, he made a career-best four catches for40 yards in the win over Akron. He tied his high with fourreceptions for 32 yards in the Senior Day victory overIndiana and had a 15-yard catch in the win at Illinois. Aquick and strong runner, Suhey was highly effective inthe 35-10 win at Michigan, gaining 18 yards on justthree carries. He joins the offensive line and tight endsin receiving much of the credit for the effectiveness ofthe Nittany Lions’ prolific rushing and passing attacks,helping Penn State to finish second in the Big Ten intotal offense. Suhey is a fourth-generation Nittany Lionhailing from arguably the first family of Penn State foot-

ball. His father, Matt, was a standout running back atPenn State from 1976-79 before starting a highly-suc-cessful career with the Chicago Bears. His great-grand-father, Bob Higgins, was Penn State’s second All-American, earning honors in 1915 and ’19. The youngerSuhey made excellent strides last season and shouldcontinue to play a prominent role for the offense thenext two seasons.

Nick Sukay put two years of battling injuries behind himto grab ahold of a starting assignment at safety during the2009 preseason and demonstrate great work-ethic andprogress to start every game. The hard-hitting and instinctiveSukay made 41 tackles, tied for fifth-highest on the squad,and grabbed two interceptions. The former GreensburgCentral Catholic High School standout was third in the BigTen with 13 passes defended, having broken up a team-high 11 passes, good for No. 2 in the conference. He alsohad two fumble recoveries and played an instrumental rolefor theNittany Lions’ Top 10 defense. Sukaywas on the fieldfor 882 snaps last year, the fourth-highest total on the team,led by 86 against Indiana. A swift and strong athlete, Sukaymade a career-high nine tackles against Iowa and followedwith seven solo stops in the win at Illinois. He made his firstcareer interception against the Hawkeyes and returned hissecond one 34 yards at Michigan State during Penn State’s28-point third-quarter outburst. Sukay also made four hitseach in the wins over Syracuse, Eastern Illinois andNorthwestern. In the victory at Michigan, Sukay pounced ona fumble at the Wolverines’ 22-yard line. Two plays later,Daryll Clark threw a scoring strike to Graham Zug, givingPenn State a 32-10 lead in the third quarter. Sukay broke upthree passes and recovered a fumble on the final play of the

game to seal the Nittany Lions’ 19-17 win over LSU in theCapital One Bowl. Sukay hasmade significant progress dur-ing the past year and should have the opportunity to contin-ue playing a significant role for the defense and specialteams the next two seasons.

Andrew Szczerba continues to work hard andremains focused on the future and greater opportunities toplay a larger role for the offense. Andrew Quarless andMickey Shuler earned the bulk of the playing time last sea-son at tight end but have graduated, creating an opportu-nity for Szczerba to play a more significant role. He hasbeen a solid contributor on special teams and made onecatch for six yards in the win over Temple last year. Hewas on the field for 107 snaps during the 2009 season.Szczerba is a noted hard worker with a great attitude andphysical attributes and should have an opportunity to be asignificant contributor for the offense the next two years.The 2006 Gatorade Player-of-the-Year in Delaware, he isone of five First State natives on the Penn State squad.

With talent and depth at the running back position onthe Nittany Lion roster, carries were hard to come by forShaine Thompson in 2009. But, the hard-workingThompson emerged as a strong contributor on specialteams, playing in the last 12 games. Penn State’s 42-14victory at Michigan State in the regular-season finaleafforded Thompson an opportunity to carry the ball twice.He made the most of his chance by gaining 10 yards,including a career-long eight-yard burst. He also had onecarry for four yards in a 52-3 victory over Eastern Illinois.Thompson saw action on 64 snaps in 2009. Thompson isone of three Nittany Lions from John F. Kennedy HighSchool in the Bronx, joining Stephfon Green and StephenObeng-Agyapong.

The Nittany Lions entered the 2009 season needingto replace three All-Big Ten starters on the offensive line.The first six games of the season saw Penn State use fourdifferent lineups, due to injuries and seeking the best com-bination. One of the changes saw redshirt sophomoreJohnnie Troutman move into the starting left guard spotand he helped improve and stabilize the unit as the sea-son progressed. The former all-state selection atPemberton High School started eight consecutive gamesbefore suffering a strained calf against Ohio State. Hemissed the Indiana game, but returned to help the Lionspost a 42-14 win at Michigan State. Troutman played on619 snaps last season, led by 86 in the win overMinnesota. He was an instrumental member of an offenseranked No. 2 in the Big Ten at 406.9 ypg. Penn State wasthird in the Big Ten in fewest sacks allowed. Possessinggreat physical attributes and skills, he and his linemateshelped quarterback Daryll Clark rank No. 2 in the Big Tenin passing efficiency and deliver a school season-record24 touchdown passes. The unit also has been instrumen-tal in Evan Royster becoming the seventh Nittany Lion all-time to gain 1,000 yards in multiple seasons. In the win at

Illinois, Penn State rolled up 338 rushing yards, getting100-yard games from Stephfon Green (120) and Royster(105) and 83 yards from Clark. In the 52-3 pounding ofEastern Illinois, Penn State displayed dominating balance,racking up 268 yards passing and 285 yards rushing enroute to a season-best yardage total of 553. TheMinnesota victory capped a three-week stretch in whichTroutman and the offensive line did not allow a sack. Inthe 34-13 win at Northwestern, its fifth straight, the PennState offense gained 301 yards in the second half and 437

for the game, averaging 7.5

yards per play. Troutman and DeOn’tae Pannell may con-tinue to vie for the starting assignment at left guard duringspring and preseason practice. Troutman made goodprogress last season and should have an opportunity tobe a significant contributor for the offense the next twoseasons. He is one of 10 Nittany Lions from New Jersey.

“Linebacker U.” has several jersey numbers that areetched into the heart, soul and minds of Nittany Nation.The 31 worn by Shane Conlan and Paul Posluszny quick-ly comes to mind, as does No. 11, worn by LaVarArrington and Navorro Bowman. And Josh Hull firmlyupheld the tradition of the 43 worn by Andre Collins andBrandon Short. But, what about No. 54? Standout linemenBruce Clark and Marco Rivera give the number great lin-eage and last season linebacker Jamie Van Fleet madefans take notice of No. 54 again. The determined andhard-working Van Fleet caught the eye of Penn State andcollege football fans when he made three solo tackles onhis nine special teams plays in the 34-13 win atNorthwestern. A walk-on from Loyalsock High School,Van Fleet was a strong and steady contributor in the kick-ing game last season and he continues to work hard toplay a larger role for the defense and special teams in2010. He played in every game and had five tackles,adding single stops in the wins over Akron and Temple.Van Fleet saw action on 85 snaps during the 2009 cam-paign, led by 14 against Temple.

Collin Wagner joined a long line of Penn State place-kickers fromCentral Pennsylvaniawhen he stepped onto thefield as the starter in the 2009 season-opener against Akron.In his first season as the starter, the strong-legged Wagnerfinished No. 5 in the Big Ten in overall scoring with a team-high 91 points. He connected on 15-of-22 field goal attempts,with a long of 47 yards in the 20-0 win over Minnesota. TheState College Area High School product converted all 46 ofhis PAT attempts, one of just three Big Ten kickers to con-nect on 100 percent of their PATs. Wagner was 10-for-11 onfield goal attempts between 20 and 29 yards and hit four triesbeyond 30 yards. He averaged 62.8 yards per kickoff, includ-ing 10 touchbacks last season. Wagner had a four-gamestretch spanning the Eastern Illinois to Northwestern gameswhere he made 7-of-8 field goal attempts, including a 2-for-2 performance in the victory at Michigan and 2-for-2 in thewin at Northwestern, on a breezy day near Lake Michigan.He had the biggest game of his career in the 19-17 CapitalOne Bowl win over LSU, connecting on all four field goalattempts, including the 21-yard game-winner with 57 sec-onds remaining. He was named to ESPN.com’s Big Ten All-Bowl team for his efforts against the Tigers, as he tied theschool record for field goals in a bowl game. Wagner sawsignificant experience last year and should continue toimprove his skills and productivity for the 2010 campaign.

ATHLETIC ENDOWMENTS

Joe Paterno banded together a Penn State squad of highly-motivated and dedicated student-athletes and coaches into asquad that amassed 51 victories over the past five seasons, main-taining residence among the nation’s most successful programs.A team possessing outstanding work-ethic, commitment andsenior leadership produced the Nittany Lions’ fourth bowl victoryin the past five seasons with a hard-fought, thrilling, last-minutewin over LSU in the Capital One Bowl.

The 2009 squad won 11 games, giving the Nittany Lionsback-to-back 11-win seasons for the first time since 1985 and ’86,when Penn State played in consecutive National Championshipgames. Paterno’s 21st season with double-figure victories and23rd team to finish in the Top 10 added to the litany of coachingrecords he owns.

Penn State’s 11-2 mark in 2009 improved its five-year recordto 51-13, with its 79.7 winning percentage tied for No. 7 in thenation over that span. The Nittany Lions earned their third Top 10finish in the past five seasons and won at least 11 games for the15th time under the Hall of Fame coach.

Paterno also could be proud of the academic accomplish-ments of his 2009 squad. For the second consecutive year, PennState led all Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) teams in first-teamESPN The Magazine Academic All-Americans®. Three NittanyLions received first-team honors, giving Penn State eightAcademic All-America® selections in the past two years.

And Penn State’s 89 percent graduation rate and 85 percentGraduation Success Rate were tops among all teams in theAssociated Press final 2009 Top 25 poll.

Paterno has passionately served the Penn State football pro-gram and the university with principle, distinction and successwith honor since matriculating to State College in 1950. After 16years as an assistant coach, he was rewarded in 1966 with thehead coaching responsibilities upon the retirement of Rip Engle,his college coach at Brown who appointed him to the Penn Statestaff in 1950 as a brash 23-year-old.

He is older now, and wiser, but no less enthusiastic and noless dynamic. He is, simply put, the most successful coach in thehistory of college football — a fact that was validated during the2001 season when he moved past Paul “Bear” Bryant to becomethe leader in career wins by a major college coach. He also is oneof the most admired figures in college athletics, an acknowledgedicon whose influence extends well beyond the white chalk lines ofthe football field.

In his 45th year pacing the sidelines as head coach of theNittany Lions, Paterno has faced every situation imaginable onthe gridiron and has used his preparation, experience and under-standing of the game he loves to respond and keep the PennState program among the nation’s elite for the past four decades.

MALLOY HEAD FOOTBALL COACHJOE PATERNO

American Award. Paterno also was the 1986 Sports IllustratedSportsman-of-the-Year.

A member of the Penn State coaching staff spanning theadministrations of 13 U.S. presidents (starting with Harry Truman),Paterno passed Bryant on October 27, 2001, when the NittanyLions secured his 324th victory by rallying from a 27-9 deficit todefeat Ohio State, 29-27, in the greatest Beaver Stadium come-back under the legendary coach.

Obviously not a person of misplaced priorities, Paternoalways has concentrated on seeing that his student-athletesattend class, devote the proper time to studies and graduate witha meaningful degree. He often has said he measures team suc-cess not by athletic prowess but by the number of productive cit-izens who make a contribution to society.

The 2009 NCAA Graduation Rates Report for Division I insti-tutions revealed that the Penn State football program compiled an89 percent graduation rate among freshmen entering in 2002-03,which was No. 1 among teams ranked in the final 2009 AssociatedPress poll. Penn State’s figure was an astounding 34 points abovethe 55 percent FBS average. The NCAA data also showed thatPenn State posted a program-record 85 percent GraduationSuccess Rate, also the highest among 2009 AP Top 25 teams. Thenational average among FBS teams was 67 percent.

Paterno is not fond of looking back, but it has been a mem-orable period for the legendary mentor, who has been a memberof the Penn State staff for 682 games.

In March 2010, the Maxwell Football Club announced it wasrenaming its top college coaching honor the Joseph V. PaternoCollege Coach-of-the-Year Award. “The Maxwell Football Club isprivileged to honor the legacy of Coach Paterno, his values andhis successes on and off the field,” said Executive Director MarkWolpert.

Paterno and the 2008 Nittany Lions displayed resiliency andtoughness to capture the Big Ten Championship and the pro-gram’s second Bowl Championship Series berth in four years.Trailing rival Ohio State in the fourth quarter in a late Octobernight game, the visiting Nittany Lions made a momentum-swing-ing play and went on to score the game’s final 10 points to post ahard-fought victory en route to their third Big Ten crown.

Paterno also was resilient, as he fought through a hip injurythat occurred two days before the 2008 season-opener, display-ing toughness and fortitude to his squad when in obvious pain.The day after the Big Ten-clinching victory over Michigan State,Paterno had successful hip replacement surgery and led theNittany Lions during their preparations for the Rose Bowl meetingwith Southern California.

Paterno was selected the 2008 Big Ten Dave McClainCoach-of-the-Year, winning the honor for the third time, secondonly to Bo Schembechler’s four selections in the award’s history.He also was a finalist for three national Coach-of-the-Year hon-ors: the Eddie Robinson Award (FWAA), Liberty Mutual andGeorge Munger (Maxwell Football Club).

Penn State compiled an 11-2 mark in 2008, finishing No. 8 inthe Associated Press and USA Today Coaches polls. A school-record 10 Nittany Lions were selected first-team All-Big Ten, morethan double the second-highest total, and a record 14 playersearned first or second-team all-conference accolades. FourNittany Lions received All-America honors and A.Q. Shipleybecame Penn State’s first recipient of the Rimington Trophy, pre-sented to the nation’s outstanding center.

It was a record-breaking year for academic accomplishmentsas well. A program-record five players were named to the 2008ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America® team, with four onthe first-team. The four first-team selections led the nation.

A program-record 55 Nittany Lions earned at least a 3.0grade-point average during the Fall 2008 semester. Among the 55football student-athletes, a record 19 garnered Dean’s List recog-nition by posting a 3.5 GPA or higher.

In December 2008, Paterno agreed to an extension throughthe 2011 season.

In 2007, Paterno was inducted into the National FootballFoundation and College Football Hall of Fame. The five-timeNational Coach-of-the-Year was selected for induction in 2006,and was set to join two more legendary coaches — BobbyBowden and John Gagliardi — as the first active coaches or play-ers to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Coach Paterno’s induction, though, was deferred until 2007,as the injuries he sustained during a sideline collision in aNovember 2006 game at Wisconsin prevented him from travelingto the event.

“I have mixed feelings because there were so many peoplethat are not with me anymore who made it possible for me,” stat-ed Paterno during the December 4, 2007 induction ceremony.“How good has it been? What we share in football; there’s neverbeen a greater game. We’ve been involved in the greatest game,the greatest experience anybody could hope for. Great team-mates. Guys you could trust. Guys you loved. Guys you would goto war with tomorrow. We’re so lucky…we’re so lucky. If we losewhat we have in football, we’ll lose an awful lot in this country, andwe’ve got to remember that.”

Paterno and Bowden, who rank No. 1-2 in victories amongmajor college coaches, received the prestigious Gold Medal, theNational Football Foundation’s highest honor, at the 2006 Hall ofFame Dinner via a video presentation.

The 2007 season saw Paterno reach two more significantmilestones and one tremendous honor. He eclipsed another col-lege football legend, Amos Alonzo Stagg, for longevity at oneinstitution among major college coaches. Stagg was a headcoach for 57 years, including 41 at the University of Chicago.

In December 2007, Patrick and Candace Malloy honoredPaterno’s contributions to the University by committing $5 millionto create the Malloy Paterno Head Football Coach Endowment atPenn State.

“All of Penn State has benefited from Joe’s commitment tosuccess with honor,” said Patrick Malloy, a 1965 alumnus of theUniversity. “He is so much more than a coach — he’s an educa-tor. He teaches his players how to win in life as well as in football,and he teaches every Penn State fan how to make the world abetter place through integrity, honesty, and excellence. We arealso fortunate enough to know Sue Paterno, and we have thedeepest admiration for her volunteer and philanthropic leadershipat Penn State and beyond.”

The Nittany Lions capped 2007 by defeating Texas A&M inthe Valero Alamo Bowl in Paterno’s 500th game as head coach.

Penn State made another January bowl appearance underPaterno in 2006 and defeated Tennessee, 20-10, in the OutbackBowl. It came as no surprise that less than two weeks after under-going surgery on his left leg in November 2006, Paterno was backin Beaver Stadium, observing his team from the coaches’ boothfor the regular-season finale against Michigan State.

The 2005 Nittany Lions are a squad the legendary coachalso will remember fondly. The players and coaches passionatelytoiled every day to return Penn State to the national champion-ship picture. The Nittany Lions compiled an 11-1 record, capturedthe Big Ten Championship and a thrilling triple-overtime decisionover Bowden’s Florida State squad in the FedEx Orange Bowl.

The 11-win season represented another milestone, as PennState recorded at least 10 victories under Paterno in a fifthdecade and for the 19th time overall. The Nittany Lions were No.3 in the polls, garnering their 13th Top 5 finish under the veterancoach.

For his leadership in restoring the Nittany Lions to thenation’s elite, Paterno was recognized with numerous NationalCoach-of-the-Year honors in 2005, capped by an unprecedentedfifth selection by the American Football Coaches Association(AFCA). He also received national honors from the AssociatedPress, Bobby Dodd, Home Depot/ESPN, Maxwell Football Club(George Munger), Pigskin Club of Washington, D.C., TheSporting News and the Walter Camp Football Foundation.

Joe Paterno simply is an unusual football coach...and anunusual person.

In an exceptional display of generosity and affection forPenn State, Paterno; his wife, Sue, and their five childrenannounced a contribution of $3.5 million to the University in 1998,bringing Paterno’s lifetime giving total to more than $4 million.The gift appears to be, Penn State Vice President forDevelopment Rod Kirsch said, “the most generous ever made bya collegiate coach and his family to a university.”

The Paterno gift endows faculty positions and scholarshipsin the College of the Liberal Arts, the School of Architecture andLandscape Architecture, the University Libraries and supportedtwo building projects — a new interfaith spiritual center and thePenn State All-Sports Museum, both on the University Park cam-pus. The museum opened in 2002 and the spiritual center wasdedicated in 2003.

“Penn State has been very good to both Sue and me,”Paterno said. “We have met some wonderful people here, we’veknown many students who have gone on to become outstandingleaders in their professions and in society, and all of our childrenhave received a first-class education here. I’ve never felt betterabout Penn State and its future potential than I do right now. Sueand I want to do all we can to help the University reach that poten-tial.”

He and Sue have been actively involved with the SpecialOlympics Pennsylvania Summer Games, held each June on theUniversity Park campus. In 2008, the Paternos were inducted intothe Special Olympics Pennsylvania Hall of Fame.

The Paternos announced a $1 million pledge in 2009 for theMount Nittany Medical Center. Their gift is part of the most ambi-

tious fund-raising effort in the Medical Center’s history and willhelp support a three-floor, 42,000-square-foot expansion ofCentre County’s primary health facility.

Also in 2009, the Paternos were honored by the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association for a lifetime of achievement. CoachPaterno is a national spokesperson for CMTA.

In February 2010, a pair of Paterno’s glasses made nation-al headlines, as a Penn State couple bid $9,000 to purchase thedonated, autographed specs, with the proceeds benefiting PennState Public Broadcasting.

In 2006, Paterno was bestowed a trio of diverse honors inaddition to the Hall of Fame announcement and Gold Medal pre-sentation. He was named a Free Spirit honoree and recognizedby The Freedom Forum at the National Press Club in Washington,D.C. In April, Paterno received the Lifetime Achievement Awardfrom the Dapper Dan Charities in Pittsburgh and received theHistory Makers Award, presented by the Senator John HeinzPittsburgh Regional History Center.

Paterno was recognized twice for his illustrious career in2004. He was selected the second-best college football coach ofall-time by a panel of more than 300 media, current and formerfootball coaches, Heisman Trophy winners and members of theCollege Football Hall of Fame. Paterno also was chosen thenation’s best college football coach of the past 25 years by anESPN25 expert panel. He finished No. 8 overall in the listing ofcollege and professional coaches from all sports over the past 25years at that time.

The American Football Coaches Association presentedPaterno with its highest honor in 2002, the Amos Alonzo StaggAward. The award honors those “whose services have been out-standing in the advancement of the best interests of football.”

In 1998, he was the initial winner of the Eddie RobinsonCoach-of-the-Year Award, which recognizes an active collegecoach who is a role model to students and players, an activemember of the community and an accomplished coach.

The wisdom of Paterno’s “total person” approach to football— which addresses academic and lifestyle matters in addition toathletic prowess — has won almost universal endorsement fromthe “products of the system.”

“He’s putting together this winning program, but meanwhilehe’s teaching 17-, 18-, 19-year olds how not to screw their livesup, how important education is, how important it is to have socialacumen,” All-America linebacker Greg Buttle told the San AntonioExpress-News in 2007.

“Forget what he’s done for players. He’s done more for a sin-gle university than anyone else. It transcends his coaching. No. 1to him is what he’s done for Penn State University, No. 2 is whathe has done for players.”

“...I can tell you that virtually all of the players he’s touchedin 50 years as an assistant and head coach have been enrichedby the experience,” former quarterback Todd Blackledge said inthe forward to Quotable Joe, a book of quotations by and aboutPaterno. “I consider myself, and I know my teammates and PennState players past and present feel likewise, a better person forhaving played for Joe Paterno.”

LaVar Arrington, one of the 31 NFL first-round draft choicesto come through Paterno’s Penn State program, was a two-timeAll-America selection and won the 1999 Butkus Award as thenation’s top linebacker as well as the Maxwell Club’s ChuckBednarik Award, presented to the top collegiate defensive player.

“If you’re not a man when you get there, you’ll be a manbefore you leave,” Arrington said of his Penn State experience.“Joe has his system so that you’re prepared for life. Joe trains youmore mentally than physically so that nothing will rattle you.”

Joe and Sue Paterno have five children, all of whom arePenn State graduates, and 17 grandchildren.

BOWL RECAPS1923 ROSE: January 1, 1923Penn State fought a gallant fight, but Southern

California was just too strong in a 14-3 victory in the 1923Rose Bowl, the Nittany Lions’ first post-season game. TheTrojans bounced back from an early 3-0 Penn State leadto post the win.

The 29-member Penn State travel party departedState College by train on December 19 and, after stops inChicago and the Grand Canyon, arrived in Pasadena onChristmas Eve. The morning of the game, the team tookin the Tournament of Roses Parade, then returned to theirhotel. The Lions left in several taxi cabs at 11 a.m. for thedrive to the Rose Bowl, but as the 2:15 p.m. kickoffapproached, the team was mired in post-parade traffic.Only after the cabbies drove over the lawns of local resi-dents did the Penn State contingent finally reach the RoseBowl.

When the team arrived, they found kickoff hadalready been delayed by 10 minutes. Penn State coachHugo Bezdek and USC coach “Gloomy Gus” Hendersonalmost came to blows as the Lions’ skipper successfullylobbied game officials for additional warmup time. Thegame finally started an hour late and ended in moonlight,with sportswriters lighting matches in order to finish theirstories. Even with the 60-minute delay, many of the 43,000spectators did not reach their seats until the second quar-ter.

Penn State took an early 3-0 lead on Mike Palm’s 20-yard drop-kick field goal, but Roy “Bullet” Baker rushed for123 yards and one touchdown for the Trojans and theLions were held to five first downs and 104 yards. PennState’s share of the proceeds — $21,349.64 — wasdirected toward the $2 million Emergency Building Fundand in particular the construction of Varsity Hall (now IrvinHall).

prominence with a 13-13 tie against Southern Methodist inthe Cotton Bowl. Unheralded quarterback Elwood Petchelmatched SMU All-American Doak Walker yard-for-yard asthe Lions rallied from 13-0 back and had several chancesto win the game.

Petchel threw for scores in the second and third quar-ters and nearly had a third at the end of the game, whena defender tipped away the ball at the last second. In thethird quarter the Lions tied the game at 13 and EdCzekaj’s PAT kick appeared to be good, but was ruled nogood by a hesitating referee. The Lions outgained SMU258 to 206, but two lost fumbles hurt their chances.Petchel completed seven of 15 passes for 165 yards andtwo touchdowns. Fran Rogel gained 95 yards on 25 car-ries, easily out-rushing Walker.

Because two Lions, Wally Triplett and DennieHoggard, were African-American, none of the Dallashotels would allow the team to stay in their facilities, forc-ing the squad to stay at a Naval Air Station 14 miles fromDallas.

Coach Bob Higgins’ squad finished 9-0-1, won its firstLambert Trophy and was No. 4 in the Associated Presspoll.

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

ticipant Bobby Dodd of Georgia Tech and installed somenew plays to keep his Penn State team busy for the 1959Liberty Bowl. That advice paid off as Penn State scoredon a fake field goal play to upend Alabama, 7-0, in theinaugural Liberty Bowl in Philadelphia. The play came inthe final seconds of the first half with Galen Hall passing18 yards to Roger Kochman for the score. Game condi-tions at Municipal Stadium (later renamed JFK Stadium)were less than ideal and Penn State’s defense made thepoints stand up.

Directed by quarterback Richie Lucas, the MaxwellAward winner and Heisman Trophy runnerup, the Lions’offense completely dominated the game, outgaining CoachBear Bryant’s Crimson Tide 319 to 131, including a 278 to104 edge on the ground. The victory was the first bowl winfor the Nittany Lions, improving their post-season mark to1-1-1. Penn State has not been below the .500 mark inbowl 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 overOregon, 41-12, for their second straight Liberty Bowl winin as many years. Twenty-one unanswered points in thesecond quarter gave the Lions a lead they would not relin-quish on a cold, windy day in Philadelphia.

Oregon’s long first-quarter TD drive produced an earlylead, but quarterback Dick Hoak and his second unitmarched for two scores, while quarterback Galen Hall ledanother in the second quarter for a 21-6 halftime bulge.The Ducks scored in the third quarter, but again theReddie unit produced three TDs in the fourth quarter.Hoak enjoyed an outstanding day on defense as well asrunning and passing on offense. He ran for 61 yards andtwo scores on nine carries; and completed three of fivepasses for 67 yards and a TD strike.

It was the running game that was the difference as theLions outgained Oregon 301 to 187 and 420 to 360 over-all. The 420 yards of total offense was a school bowlrecord 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 GeorgiaTech, notching its third straight bowl victory in as manyyears in its first post-season game in the South. Despitethree early-season losses, the Lions downed the YellowJackets, who had allowed only 4.4 points a game, register-ing four shutouts.

Galen Hall threw three touchdown passes as PennState rallied from a 9-0 deficit. The Nittany Lion defenderscaused five turnovers and took advantage of a misfiredfake punt and an interception to put the game away with10 fourth-quarter points. All-America end Dave Robinsonmade a stunning play midway through the third quarterand with the Lions leading 14-9, leaping over two blockersand forcing quarterback Stan Gann to fumble, whichRobinson recovered at the Jackets’ 35-yard line. Hallstruck quickly, tossing a 35-yard scoring strike to JuniorPowell.

The Jackets carried the day statistically (outgainingPenn State 412 to 313), but special teams play for PennState was critical as Yellow Jacket errors and a superbLion punting game (eight punts for a 41.0 yard average)helped offset Georgia Tech’s rushing game. Hall wassuperb, hitting 12 of 22 passes for 175 yards and threetouchdowns to earn game MVP honors.

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

ing by three points at Army, and was ranked No. 9 in thefinal Associated Press poll, earning its second straightLambert Trophy. But, the Lions were snubbed from a NewYear’s Day bowl and accepted an invitation to play in theGator Bowl for the second consecutive year, facingunranked, 6-4 Florida.

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

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

The best experience of this post-season may havebeen the squad’s trip to the White House where they gavePresident John F. Kennedy a Nittany Lion statue. TheLions practiced for more than a week at the U.S. NavalAcademy before encountering difficult travel fromHarrisburg to Jacksonville, having to bus to Pittsburgh andland in Orlando due to poor weather conditions inPennsylvania 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 fieldgoal with 15 seconds remaining to earn a 17-17 tie in theGator Bowl.

The Nittany Lions did all their scoring in the first half,thanks largely to quarterback Tom Sherman. He kicked a27-yard field goal in the first period and then threw touch-down passes to Jack Curry and Ted Kwalick for a 17-0bulge at halftime.

Early in the second half, the Lions stopped theSeminoles on downs at the Penn State five-yard line.Three rushes by Charlie Pittman appeared to give PennState a first down, but the measurement came up six inch-es short. In his first bowl game as head coach, JoePaterno decided to go for it, but Sherman’s fourth-downsneak was short. Florida State quarterback KimHammond tossed a 20-yard scoring pass to Ron Sellerssoon after to swing the momentum. Hammond was 37-of-53 passing for 362 yards, with four interceptions, whileSellers 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-downcall may be the best thing I ever did for Penn State foot-ball.”

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

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

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

The game took on legendary status in the last twominutes after Penn State was forced to punt. The Lionshad all three timeouts left and used them well. After tack-le Mike Reid dropped quarterback Bobby Douglass for 13yards in losses on consecutive plays of Kansas’ finaloffensive series, Penn State helped its cause when NealSmith partially blocked the punt, providing one last oppor-tunity from the 50 yard-line with 1:16 left. QuarterbackChuck Burkhart connected with Bob Campbell on a 47-yard pass to the Kansas three, just as Kansas runningback Donnie Shanklin was being announced as the gameMVP. After fullback Tom Cherry tried the middle twice,Burkhart faked a handoff to Charlie Pittman and carriedaround the left end for the touchdown with just eight sec-onds remaining.

Never one fond of ties, Joe Paterno elected to go forthe win, but Burkhart’s two-point pass to Campbell wasknocked away and the Kansas players began to celebratewith fans who were coming onto the field. But, a penaltyhad been called on the Jayhawks for 12 men on the fieldand, as game films would later reveal, Kansas had 12 menon the field for four plays, including Burkhart’s touchdown.Presented with a second opportunity, this time from theone-and-a-half-yard line, Campbell swept around the leftside and into the end zone for the scintillating 15-14 victo-ry as Penn State became the first Eastern school to winthe 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 thedoor on Missouri’s highly-touted offense for a 10-3 victory.It was a superlative performance by the Lion defenders asthey led Penn State to its second straight Orange Bowl vic-tory, its 22nd straight win and its 30th consecutive gamewithout defeat.

But, a second straight 11-0 campaign again earnedthe Lions the No. 2 national ranking, not their first NationalChampionship. Having already voted to play in the OrangeBowl, the fifth-ranked Lions saw No. 1 Ohio State lose toMichigan, leaving the winner between unbeatens Texasand Arkansas as the likely new No. 1. President RichardNixon was in attendance in Austin and after theLonghorns’ 15-14 win, declared Texas national champi-ons, much to the chagrin and outrage of Joe Paterno, hissquad and Nittany Lion fans.

With the controversy about Number One still beingdebated, the Nittany Lion defense was outstanding instopping the Big Eight champions. Nineteen times thepowerful Missouri offense got possession of the ball andnine times the Lion defenders forced a turnover, intercept-ing seven passes and recovering two fumbles. The seveninterceptions remain an Orange Bowl record, bettering thesix turned in by Georgia against TCU in the 1942 contest,as well as being tied for the second-highest ever for anybowl game.

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

Missouri connected on a 33-yard field goal late in thefirst half and reached the Penn State 14-yard line with1:42 to play. But, George Landis grabbed his second inter-ception of the game at the two and the Lions remainedunbeaten in their 30th straight game, tying the schoolmark 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 opportunityto redeem itself and make a statement to the collegefootball nation. With the No. 1 snub of 1969 not farremoved, the game with Texas would provide a greatopportunity for the Nittany Lions to earn some nationalrespect. In what some considered a “must” win for therising national powerhouse, Penn State blitzed highly-touted Texas, 30-6, for its third straight major bowl victo-ry.

Neither team was able to do much in a sluggish firsthalf that wound up with Texas holding a 6-3 edge. TheLonghorns had moved the ball from their famedWishbone offense early in the contest, but the PennState defense began to take control as the game woreon. The second half was all Penn State. The Lions tookthe lead for the first time early in the third quarter afterCharlie Zapiec recovered a fumble at the Texas 41-yardline. A 19-yard run by Lydell Mitchell and a 19-yard passfrom John Hufnagel to tight end Bob Parsons helped theLions reach the Texas one. Mitchell followed a block byAll-American Dave Joyner for the game’s first touch-down.

The game-breaker came the next time the Lions gotthe ball. On second down from their 35-yard line,Hufnagel faked to Mitchell and lofted a pass to split endScott Skarzynski dashing alone down the right sidelinefor a 17-6 lead. Alberto Vitiello added two more fieldgoals and Hufnagel scored on a four-yard run, as theLions controlled the ball for 13 minutes in the fourthquarter.

Defensive end Bruce Bannon was voted theOutstanding Defensive Player-of-the-Game, although itwas 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’sOutstanding Offensive Player, as the All-Americancapped his brilliant career with 146 yards in 27 carriesand one score.

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

The game did not get off to a good start when the Lionslearned just hours before kickoff that leading rusher JohnCappelletti had a virus and a 102-degree temperature andwould be unable to play. Without Cappelletti’s ball-controlrunning, the defense spent a great deal of time on the field.As it turned out, the Lion defenders did a spectacular jobagainst one of the nation’s most explosive offenses, holdingthe Sooners’ Wishbone attack to just 14 points. Oklahomaout-gained Penn State 453 to 196, including 278 to 49 onthe ground, but the stingy Lion defense forced eight Soonerfumbles, five of which Penn State recovered.

Several weeks after the game, Oklahoma was discov-ered to have used two ineligible freshmen players and theNCAA forced the Sooners to forfeit the games the playershad participated in. Joe Paterno and school athletic officialsrefused to accept the win.

Prior to that revelation, Paterno accepted an offer tobecome the Boston Patriots’ head coach and general man-ager four days after the Sugar Bowl, but changed his mindthe 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 perfectseason. And, as they did in the 1969 and 1970 OrangeBowls, the Nittany Lions rose to the occasion. LouisianaState provided stiff competition, but a hard-fought 16-9win over the Tigers put the finishing touches on PennState’s first 12-0 campaign.

The Tigers took the opening kickoff and quicklyscored on a three-yard run by Steve Rogers. The Liondefense made a few adjustments and LSU’s only otherpoints came on a safety when Penn State punter BrianMasella downed a bad snap in his own end zone in thethird quarter.

Chris Bahr got Penn State on the scoreboard with a44-yard field goal in the first quarter. The Nittany Lionsgrabbed control in the second period, sparked by ChuckHerd, who made a brilliant one-hand catch of a TomShuman pass on the LSU 20-yard line and ran it in to com-plete a memorable 72-yard score. The Lions continuedtheir surge moments later when Gary Hayman, thenation’s leading punt returner in 1973, returned a punt 36yards to the LSU 25-yard line. Heisman Trophy winnerJohn Cappelletti vaulted over from one yard out for a 16-7halftime edge.

Despite being one of only three unbeaten, untiedteams entering the bowls, Penn State was ranked No. 5 inthe Associated Press poll and the Sugar Bowl match-upbetween unbeatens Alabama and Notre Dame was beingtouted 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 champi-on Baylor in the Cotton Bowl. Joe Paterno’s Nittany Lionscame from behind for the fifth time in its 10 wins, erasinga 7-3 halftime deficit with a 38-point second-half explosionfor a Cotton Bowl record 41 points.

Quarterback Tom Shuman and fullback TomDonchez, the mainstays of the offense all season, led therecord-breaking efforts. Shuman completed 10 of 20passes for 226 yards and a touchdown and added 14yards and another score on the ground. Donchez carried25 times for 116 yards and a touchdown and caught fourpasses for 50 yards. Freshman Jimmy Cefalo also con-tributed greatly to the victory, rushing for 55 yards, catch-ing three passes for 102 yards and scoring two touch-downs.

It was a close game as the third quarter ended, withPenn State holding a 17-14 edge. Three straight scores—a three-yard run by Cefalo, a 33-yard field goal by ChrisBahr and a two-yard run by Shuman — gave the Lions aninsurmountable 34-14 lead. Shuman earned his second-straight post-season award, grabbing the OutstandingOffensive Player award as he led Penn State to what stillis 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 LouisianaSuperdome, with a capacity crowd of 75,212 on hand.The contest also was the first of four meetings betweenJoe Paterno and Paul “Bear” Bryant, two of only fiveDivision I-A coaches with at least 300 career wins.

The game was typical of the Nittany Lions’ 9-3 sea-son, featuring outstanding defense and kicking. Alabamamanaged the only touchdown of the game, a 14-yard runby Mike Stock in the third quarter, which was enough toallow 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-yardfield goal in the third period and a 37-yarder early in thefinal quarter. Alabama specialist Danny Ridgeway coun-tered Bahr’s boots with field goals of 25 and 28 yards.

Bahr’s first field goal with 4:33 left in the third quar-ter tied the game at 3-3, but Alabama came right backwith an 80-yard drive for what proved to be the winningtouchdown. The game wasn’t decided until Alabamastopped the Lions on a fourth-and-one try from the PennState 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 theIrish posted a 20-9 victory.

It was apparent in the early going that the teams wereevenly matched and breaks would be the determining fac-tor. After Penn State took an early 3-0 lead that NotreDame erased with a first-quarter touchdown, the Irishused a turnover and solid offense to outscore the Lions,13-0, in the second period, cruise to a 20-3 halftime leadand never relinquish their hold.

Penn State out-gained the Irish, 274-273, led by therushing tandem of Bob Torrey and Matt Suhey.Quarterback Chuck Fusina hit 14 of 33 passes for 118yards, including Penn State’s only touchdown, an eight-yard strike to Suhey in the fourth quarter. Jimmy Cefalomade five catches for 60 yards and had three carries for18 yards to earn Penn State Outstanding Player-of-the-Game honors.

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

The Lions won their first of six Fiesta Bowls (withouta loss), with an opportunistic kicking game, a grinding sec-ond-half running game, an alert defense and some bigplays by Jimmy Cefalo.

Penn State led, 17-14, at halftime despite being heldto 45 yards rushing. Joe Lally returned a blocked punt 21yards for the first Lion touchdown, the fifth score by thepunt return team in 1977.

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

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

In one of the greatest defensive games ever playedfor the national title, the hitting was ferocious on bothsides. Alabama posted the first half’s only score with eightseconds left, on a 30-yard pass from Jeff Rutledge toBruce 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 hadbounced 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 andChuck Fusina passed 17 yards to Scott Fitzkeeto tie the score. But, ‘Bama’s Lou Inker returned a punt 62yards to the Penn State 11 andMajor Ogilvie’s eight-yard TDrun gave the Tide a 14-7 lead later in the stanza.

With about seven minutes to play, Matt Millen forced afumble which Joe Lally recovered at the Alabama 19. Onsecond-and-goal at the six, Fusina hit Fitzkee near theflag, but as he turned to cross the goal line, Don McNealknocked him out two feet from the stripe. Matt Suhey’sdive on third down was six inches short and on fourthdown, Mike Guman was stopped short by Barry Kraussand the Tide defense in one of the memorable defensivestands in college football history. On Penn State’s finalpossession, 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 the21st Annual Liberty Bowl in Memphis. The win was thefirst in a string of five consecutive bowl victories for theNittany Lions.

After a scoreless first quarter, the Penn State offensegot untracked early in the second period. QuarterbackFrank Rocco directed the Lions on a 13-play, 68-yard drivethat culminated with a 33-yard Menhardt field goal for a 3-0 lead. Rocco was starting for the first time in 1979, replac-ing 11-game starter Dayle Tate, who suffered a shoulderinjury in the Pittsburgh game earlier in the month. A 63-yard drive culminated in a 27-yard Menhardt trey later inthe period for a 6-0 halftime lead.

Tulane tied the game with a pair of fourth-quarter fieldgoals, the latter coming with less than three minutes to play.With just under 50 seconds left and the Lions at the 50, assis-tant coach Bob Phillips suggested a halfback option, whichworked to near perfection. Rocco pitched out to Joel Coles,who pulled up on a sweep around the left side and threw a39-yard pass to a wide open Tom Donovan, to set upMenhardt’s game-winner.

Penn State out-gained Tulane 337 to 202 and limitedthe Green Wave to minus-eight yards rushing. Matt Suheyposted a 19-carry, 112-yard day for the Lions.

After holding theBuckeyes to zero yards in the third stanza, Jon Williamsscored on a four-yard run early in the final quarter andBooker Moore’s 37-yard run climaxed an 85-yard driveand sealed the 10-2 campaign.

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

26-10 victory over Southern California in the first FiestaBowl game played on New Year’s Day. Making its sec-ond consecutive appearance in Tempe, Penn State heldthe Trojans to 60 yards rushing and only three offensivepoints in the win.

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

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

tating, but instead, Penn State rallied to win its last sixgames, rising to No. 2 in the polls, and garnering a nationaltitle matchup with unbeaten and No. 1 Georgia in the 1983Sugar Bowl. The Sugar Bowl had not been kind to PennState with the Lions going 0-3 in New Orleans, but on thisday those prior games were forgotten, as Penn Statedefeated the Bulldogs, 27-23, to post an 11-1 record andearn its first National Championship after several near-miss-es under Joe Paterno.

Penn State jumped to a 7-0 lead, scoring in the firstthree minutes of the game. On consecutive plays, ToddBlackledge drilled a 33-yard pass to Mike McCloskey andfound Gregg Garrity for 27 yards to the Georgia nine-yardline. Curt Warner’s two-yard run around left end gave theLions a lead they would not relinquish. Following a Georgiafield goal, treys of 38 and 45 yards by Nick Gancitano sand-wiched a nine-yard Warner TD run for a 20-3 lead with lessthan a minute left in the half.

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

With Warner bothered by leg cramps, the offensestruggled in the third period, but early in the fourth quarterBlackledge faked to Warner and threw a perfect 47-yardstrike to Garrity, who made a sensational diving catch in theend zone. The play, featured on the cover of SportsIllustrated, will forever be remembered as one of the glori-ous moments in Penn State history. A fumbled punt set upa Georgia touchdown with 4:54 to play, but the Lion defensestuffedWalker on the two-point try to make the score 27-23.With two minutes left, Blackledge found Garrity for a firstdown on third down and the Lions ran out the clock, hoist-ing Paterno on their shoulders with his right index fingerraised in another of the significant moments in Lion history.

“Penn State No. 1!” shouted long-time Nittany Lionradio announcer Fran Fisher to his audience, trying to beheard above the din of the delirious blue andwhite clad fanswho were finally able to celebrate a National Championship.

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

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

secutive bowl victory, edging Washington, 13-10, in the1983 Aloha Bowl, thanks to excellent punting, outstand-ing defense and a clutch fourth-quarter scoring drive.

The defense held potent Washington without a touch-down, but Danny Greene’s 57-yard punt return for a score mid-way through the second quarter loomed as the key play of thegame, with the Huskies holding a 10-3 lead at the start of thefinal quarter. Lion punter George Reynolds, whose 47.7-yardpunting average on seven kicks earned him Defensive Player-of-the-Game honors, booted a 50-yard punt to the Washington16 late in the third quarter. The defense held and the offenseanswered 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, thedefense held again, and after the ensuing punt to the PennState 38, Kevin Baugh handed off to Kenny Jackson on areverse for one first down. Doug Strang then hit Baugh for16 yards to the Huskie four and tailback D.J. Dozier took thepitch over the right side for a two-yard touchdown with threeminutes to play for a 13-10 victory.

The Lions gained just 213 yards, but the defenseheld the Huskies to 279 and Reynolds’ punting proved tobe 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 25-10victory over Penn State in the 1985 Orange Bowl’s nationaltitle battle.

The Nittany Lions, 11-0 and No. 1, also played welldefensively against Oklahoma’s wishbone, allowing just 12first downs. The No. 2 Sooners relied on the big play — a71-yard TD pass from Jamelle Holieway to tight end KeithJackson on third-and-24 and a game-clinching 61-yardtouchdown run by Lydell Carr — plus four Tim Lashar fieldgoals to win. The loss was Penn State’s first in the OrangeBowl after three victories.

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

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

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

frame between Vinny Testaverde and a possible winningtouchdown in the waning seconds of the 1987 FiestaBowl, intercepting Testaverde’s final pass at the Lions’one-yard line to preserve Penn State’s 14-10 victory overNo. 1 Miami (Fla.) and earn the underdog Nittany Lionstheir second National Championship in four years.

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

Unbeaten Miami rolled up 22 first downs and 445yards to eight first downs and 162 yards for the Lions but,the Hurricanes could not convert yards into points againsta staunch Penn State defense that was no stranger toadversity. Miami’s only touchdown came in the secondquarter. Hit as he was passing, John Shaffer fumbled andthe 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 sus-tained drive of the game, going 74 yards in 13 plays. Oneof the big plays was a 23-yard pass from Shaffer to EricHamilton on third-and 12. Tim Manoa also had a 19-yardrun and caught a 12-yard pass. Shaffer rolled around theright side four yards into the end zone with 1:14 left in thehalf and Massimo Manca’s PAT made it 7-7 at the break.

Miami regained the lead early in the fourth quarter ona 38-yard field goal by Mark Seelig. All-America linebackerShane Conlan, who was hobbled by knee and ankleinjuries, who had grabbed a third-quarter interception, didit again, intercepting Testaverde’s toss and returning it 39yards 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 themost important six yards of his collegiate career when hedarted through a gaping hole for the go-ahead touchdownwith 8:13 to play. Manca’s conversion pushed the PennState margin to 14-10.

Trey Bauer forced a fumble on the Hurricanes’ nextdrive, but Miami had one threat left. Starting from their own23 with 3:07 remaining, a fourth-down completion fromTestaverde to Bennie Blades gained 31 yards and pro-pelled the Hurricanes across midfield. With 18 secondsremaining, Miami had a fourth-and-goal at the Penn State13-yard line. Testaverde tested the Lions’ secondary onemore time, looking for Brett Perriman in the end zone, buthis pass came to rest in the arms of Giftopoulos, who cra-dled his second theft of the night and a Penn StateNational Championship as he fell on the ball after return-ing it to the 10-yard line with just nine seconds to play inanother of the greatest moments in Lion football history.

More than 70 million people watched the prime-timetelecast on NBC, breaking the previous record for a col-lege football telecast.

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

unexpected to post a 35-10 conquest of Penn State in the1988 Florida Citrus Bowl, the first-ever meeting betweenthe two schools. The Tigers rushed for 285 yards andquarterback Danny Williams threw for an uncharacteristic214 yards (15-of-24) in the Nittany Lions’ first appearancein Orlando.

The Lions played without leading rusher and receiverBlair Thomas, who suffered a serious knee injury in anearly December practice which would sideline him for the1988 season. He had rushed for 1,414 yards and 11touchdowns in 1987. Freshmen Leroy Thompson andGary Brown posted 106 yards from the tailback position inThomas’ absence. Thompson, who rushed for 55 yardsand added 146 more on pass receptions (19) and kickoffreturns (127), was voted the Lions’ offensive MVP with201 all-purpose yards.

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

Senior linebacker Trey Bauer, who had six stops, threetackles for losses and a quarterback sack, was PennState’s defensive MVP.

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

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

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

On the ensuing BYU series, Hero Gary Brown blitzedpast Outland Trophy-winner Mohammed Elewonibi tosteal the ball from Detmer as he prepared to pass andreturned it 53 yards for the touchdown in the final minutethat secured the wild and wacky win.

Among the flood of big plays earlier in the game wasa spectacular, 52-yard TD catch by David Daniels, wholeapt high in the air to grab Tony Sacca’s aerial at the goalline, was hit, juggled and caught the ball as he landed onhis back in the end zone for one of the superlative catch-es in school history.

Penn State tailback Blair Thomas, playing his finalgame, broke the school bowl rushing record with 186yards on 35 carries, one a seven-yard scoring run, andshared Player-of-the-Game honors with Detmer, who was42-of-59 for an NCAA bowl record 576 yards, with twotouchdowns and two interceptions. Thomas also gained46 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 com-bined 61 first downs by both squads also are an NCAAbowl mark. The Lions played on the West Coast for thefirst 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 intriguingpost-season contests, pitting No. 7 Penn State and No. 6Florida State and their legendary coaches, Joe Paternoand Bobby Bowden.

After spotting the Seminoles 10 points in the first eightminutes of the game, Penn State applied pressure the restof the way before finally bowing, 24-17, in a marqueematchup of 9-2 independents at Joe Robbie Stadium.

With Florida State leading, 24-10, senior quarterbackTom Bill came off the bench to ignite a 62-yard scoringdrive in three plays, finding Terry Smith behind the second-ary for a 37-yard touchdown with 6:27 to play. But twoPenn State drives later came up empty, including an inter-ception at the one-yard line with less than three minutes toplay.

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

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

A 39-yard punt return by O.J. McDuffie ignited the Lionsand Sacca found Chip LaBarca on a three-yard scoring tossto 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 theonslaught which followed.

On Tennessee’s second play after the score, TyokaJackson stripped Kelly of the ball and recovered at the Vol13. On the ensuing play Sacca hit Kyle Brady and sudden-ly the Lions had a 21-17 lead. On the Vols’ second play,Reggie Givens’ interception set up a two-yard run by RichieAnderson early in the fourth quarter. On Tennessee’s nextplay, Derek Bochna hit Kelly and Givens grabbed the balland ran it in from 23 yards. In less than four minutes PennState had scored 28 points to take a 35-17 lead. Tennesseemanaged to run three plays before punting on its next pos-session and the Lions sealed the win with a 37-yard TDstrike from Sacca to McDuffie, giving them five scores inless than eight minutes.

Sacca set a Penn State bowl record with four touch-down passes and McDuffie caught four passes for 78 yardsand a touchdown and had 71 yards on punt returns to earn

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 1993Blockbuster Bowl, ending a Penn State string of fourstraight 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 toscore all the points the Cardinal would need in Joe RobbieStadium.

A 33-yard V.J. Muscillo field goal made it 7-3 at theend of the first quarter, but Stanford led, 14-3, at halftimeand 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 yardsand Richie Anderson carried the ball 13 times for 40 yardsas the Lions were held to their second-lowest point total ina 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 31-13knockout of sixth-ranked Tennessee. The hard-earned andsatisfying victory capped a 10-2 season and vaulted PennState to another top 10 finish.

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

Tennessee tallied its final points of the afternoon with afield goal, but Penn State had its two-minute offense hum-ming late in the first half. Passes to Engram and BrianO’Neal took the ball to the Vol 14-yard line with :10 left. Withthe majority of the packed stadium expecting a pass, offen-sive coordinator Fran Ganter called Carter’s number and heswept left and hurtled behind an Engram block into the endzone 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, cap-ping what may have been the game’s most pivotal play.

A seven-yard pass from Collins to Kyle Brady made it24-13 in the third quarter and Engram made a 15-yard TDcatch to close the scoring. Engrammade seven catches for107 yards and his 184 all-purpose yardsmade him the over-whelming choice as theOffensiveMVP, while Rubin was theDefensive MVP. Collins was 15-of-24 passing for 162 yards

and two scores, out-playing Shuler, the Heisman Trophyrunnerup, who was sacked four times in the second half.

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

er closure to a magnificent 1994 campaign by beatingOregon, 38-20, in the Rose Bowl, Penn State’s first appear-ance in the “Granddaddy of Them All” since the 1923 con-test. Having won their first Big Ten Championship in theirsecond year of conference play, the Lions became the firstBig Ten squad ever to earn a 12-0 record and the firstConference team to earn an unblemished record sinceOhio State in 1968.

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

In a microcosm of a brilliant season, Heisman Trophyrunnerup Ki-Jana Carter flashed through the line on PennState’s first play from scrimmage, bounced off a defenderand burst into the lush green carpet for an 83-yard score inthe game’s initial five minutes. The Rose Bowl throng of102,247 rose in unison asCarter raced toward the end zonein front of the frenzied Blue andWhite backers. Just as theyhad done somany times in 1994, the Nittany Lions’ startlingoffensive prowess delivered an early lead and a dagger tothe spirit of the opposition.

123

The Lions, though, were confronted by a relentlessOregon squad, which gained a 14-14 tie in the third quarterbefore PennState pulled away for the 38-20 victory. The sig-nificance of the win in Pasadena stretched in many direc-tions: Penn State earned its fifth unbeaten, untied seasonunder Joe Paterno and its third 12-0 campaign; Paternobecame college football’s all-time winningest bowl coachwith his 16th post-season win and became the first coach incollege football history to win the traditional four majorbowls.

Carter rushed for 156 yards on 21 carries and threetouchdowns, sharing Rose Bowl Co-Most Valuable Playerhonors with Duck quarterback Danny O’Neil, who set sixRose records with his 41-of-61 effort for 456 yards and twoscores. Carter’s 83-yard run was the longest of his career,Penn State’s longest in a bowl game and the third-longestin Rose Bowl history. Lion quarterback Kerry Collins con-cluded his brilliant season with a 19-of-30 display for 200yards, setting a school completion mark for a bowl gameand fullbacks BrianMilne and JonWitman each tallied once.

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

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

State Nittany Lions were determined to send a superbclass of 21 seniors out in a familiar fashion. Playing in itsfirst Outback Bowl, a strong finish was the precursor to asolid bowl effort, as the Nittany Lions played arguably theirfinest game of the year in crushing Auburn, 43-14, to fin-ish 9-3.

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

A group of seniors who were the backbone of PennState’s impressive 31-5 record the past three seasonsagain led the way in their final game. Archie ran for 41yards in addition to his big touchdown catch. Stephen Pittsrushed for 118 yards and also made a touchdown recep-tion. Fullback Brian Milne rushed for a career-best 82yards. The senior offensive line quartet of Keith Conlin,Jeff Hartings, Andre Johnson and Marco Rivera dominat-ed the line of scrimmage, helping the Lions rush for 266yards and pass for 221 with no sacks. Terry Killens record-ed a pair of sacks to spark the defense.

And then there was Bobby Engram. The three-timeAll-American concluded his career the Lions’ all-timegreatest 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 spec-tacular, for 113 yards and two scores. Just as he haddemolished the school’s career receiving records, the1994 Biletnikoff Award winner did so with Penn State’scareer bowl receiving marks. His two TD catches alsobroke the school bowl standard, giving the dynamic player13 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 thegame’s second play. The defense had stiffened twiceinside the 15-yard line, holding Texas to a pair of fieldgoals and one touchdown.

As the Lions have done so many times under JoePaterno, they made adjustments at the break and thendominated the last 30 minutes. Freshman Kenny Watsontook the second-half kickoff 81 yards, a school bowlrecord, to inside the Texas 20. A five-yard Aaron Harris TDrun and a two-point pass from Wally Richardson to CurtisEnis provided a 15-12 lead less than three minutes intothe half.

Texas gained a 15-15 tie midway through the stanza,but the momentum clearly was swinging in Penn State’sdirection. On its next drive, Enis scored from two yards.The defense held and on second down, Chafie Fields tooka double reverse 84 yards to the Texas five-yard line, thelongest run in school and Fiesta Bowl history. AnthonyCleary cracked over for a 28-15 margin and the Lionsnever looked back, out-scoring Texas, 31-3, in the secondhalf. The Lions out-gained the Longhorns 330-118 in thesecond half, including a whopping 292 to minus-19 yardedge on the ground.

Richardson completed his tenure with a 21-5 recordas a starter as the 16 seniors closed their careers with a42-7 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 CitrusBowl. The normally pass-happy Gators stuck primarilyto the ground and posted a 21-6 victory.

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

The defense and special teams made two hugeplays to give Penn State first-and-goal chances in thesecond quarter. Brandon Short knocked the ball awayfrom 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 thehalf. Again, the Lions were faced with fourth-and-one,but Mike McQueary’s pass was picked off in the endzone, denying Penn State its best opportunities fortouchdowns.

A Forney field goal made it 14-6 entering the fourthquarter, but Florida scored on the second play of thestanza to end the scoring. Gator tailback Fred Taylor setCitrus Bowl records with 43 carries for 234 yards, mostever for a Lion foe in a bowl game. The Lions couldmuster only nine first downs and 139 yards in offense,the lowest in Paterno’s tenure. The 16 Lion seniors com-pleted their careers with a superb 41-8 (83.7) record.

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

ers — the eventual No. 1 pick in the 1999 NationalFootball League draft — the Penn State defense wassuperb in limiting the high-flying Kentucky Wildcats toonly two scores in a decisive 26-14 Outback Bowl victo-ry before a soldout crowd of 66,005 in the newRaymond James Stadium.

Joe Paterno led the Lions to their eighth straightJanuary bowl game and improved his NCAA record forbowl victories to 19.

While Heisman Trophy finalist Tim Couch did passfor 336 yards, it took him a whopping 48 attempts to doso. The Lion defense intercepted him twice, sacked himfive times and had numerous near-sacks and hurries.Kentucky broke out to an early 14-3 lead, but in the sec-ond quarter, Penn State made adjustments and scored10 unanswered points to cut the lead to 14-13.

A 56-yard TD pass from QB Kevin Thompson to JoeNastasi preceded three Travis Forney field goals.Forney also had made a trey in the first quarter, break-ing the Outback and school bowl records with four fieldgoals. Despite dominating the second and third quar-ters, the Lions only led 19-14 entering the final period.But, the defense, which had gotten a blocked field goalfrom LaVar Arrington in the third quarter, stuffed theWildcats on fourth-and-one at the Kentucky 34. Severalplays later, Chafie Fields took his second reverse of thegame 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 sevenstops, including four for loss, and two sacks on consec-utive 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 Novemberwas looking to finish the season on a positive note afterthree straight narrow losses to end the regular-season.

Facing Texas A&M in the Alamo Bowl, 25 seniorswere playing their final game, a victory would give JoePaterno another 10-win season, and defensive coordina-tor Jerry Sandusky was coaching his final game after 32years and 381 games on the staff.

Penn State Pride was overflowing on the Alamodometurf, as the Nittany Lions turned in a marvelous defensiveperformance to record a 24-0 blanking of the Aggies. Thewhitewash was the Lions’ 20th since Sandusky becamedefensive coordinator in 1977.

Finishing 10-3, the Lions won at least 10 games forthe 18th time under Paterno and earned the No. 11 rank-ing in the final Associated Press and USA Today/ESPNCoaches polls.

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

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

On A&M’s second possession, Derek Fox collected aMcCown pass at the A&M 34, and weaved his way to theend 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 theLions’ 14. But, on third down, Arrington tipped McCown’spass and Ron Graham grabbed it at the eight to thwartanother drive.

Arrington flattened McCown to halt A&M’s last driveand Casey quickly had the Lions on the move. A 34-yardcompletion to John Gilmore took the pigskin to the A&M26. A 20-yard completion to Tony Stewart set up Casey’sfour-yard naked bootleg on the first play of the fourth quar-ter for a 21-0 lead.

On the ensuing kickoff, Askari Adams forced a fumblewhich was recovered by Shawn Mayer at the A&M 23. A39-yard Travis Forney field goal made it 24-0.

Norwood’s three receptions also gave him 41 for the sea-son, as he, Butler (47) and Williams (44) each eclipsed 40 ormore receptions for the third consecutive season. Prior to2006, the Nittany Lions had never had a trio of players with40 or more catches in the same season.

The Lions held USC to 61 net rushing yards, 145 yardsbelow the Trojans’ season average. USC became the eighthteam to fail to gain 100 rushing yards against Penn State.

Sophomore linebacker Navorro Bowman made a schoolbowl-record five tackles for loss (minus-21), tying AndyKatzenmoyer’s Rose Bowl record from the 1997 game.Bowman had his fourth sack of the season among his eighttackles (seven solo), finishing the year with a team-best 106tackles and 16.5 tackles for loss. Junior linebacker Josh Hullmade a game-high nine tackles, including one for a five-yardloss. Senior Tony Davis made eight hits and recovered a fum-ble and senior Lydell Sargeant had seven tackles (six solo).

Senior placekicker Kevin Kelly scored six points in thegame with three PAT and a 25-yard field goal that moved himinto fourth place all-time on the NCAA career overall scoringcharts with 425 points. That mark also ranks second in BigTen history, just one point shy of the record of 426 points heldby Ron Dayne of Wisconsin (1996-99).

USC quarterback Mark Sanchez was 28-of-35 for 413yards, with four touchdown passes, the most ever by anopposing player in a bowl game. His 413 yards were second-highest in Rose Bowl history and the most against PennState since Minnesota’s Tim Schade threw for 478 yards in1993.

On USC’s second possession, Sanchez hit DamianWilliams on a 27-yard touchdown pass for a 7-0 lead with4:12 left in the first quarter.

The Nittany Lions took their ensuing possession 80yards in nine plays to knot the score at 7-7. A 28-yard strikefrom Clark to Butler took the ball to the USC nine-yard line.On the next play, Clark barreled nine yards into the end zoneon a draw play with :04 left in the opening period.

Trailing, 24-7, Stephfon Green took a short screen passand zipped 30 yards to near midfield, but fumbled as he wasbeing hit and the Trojans recovered at their 42. Sanchez thenconnected with C.J. Gable on a 20-yard touchdown pass withjust :36 to go for a 31-7 halftime lead.

Kevin Kelly connected on his 78th career field goal, a 25-yarder, to pull the Nittany Lions within 38-17 in the third quar-ter.

Since admitting its first students in 1859, Penn Statehas awarded some 630,000 degrees whose value is recog-nized worldwide. That value reflects an educational experi-ence second to none in quality and richness. In addition,Penn State alumni — there are more than 270,000 inPennsylvania alone — have job- and social-networkingopportunities that no other college or university in theCommonwealth can surpass.

The University’s beginnings were humble. Charteredas a college of scientific agriculture, the institution waslocated in rural Centre County after James Irvin, a partnerin the Centre Furnace iron works (remains of which can beseen today along East College Avenue), agreed to donate200 acres of farmland for a campus.

Founding President Evan Pugh hoped to expand thecurriculum beyond agriculture. He and similar visionaries inother states lobbied for Congressional passage of theMorrill Land-Grant Act in 1862. The act enabled states tosell federal land and use the income to support collegesthat agreed to include engineering, science, and liberal artsas well as agriculture in their course of studies. In 1863, thePennsylvania legislature designated Penn State theCommonwealth’s sole land-grant institution, thus bestow-ing on what had been a privately incorporated institution awide range of public functions and obligations.

Initial efforts to diversify the curriculum met with mixedsuccess, but by the 1890s Penn State was making its mark.It ranked among the nation’s 10 largest undergraduateengineering schools, a distinction it still holds. President

George Atherton invigorated the liberal arts and recruitedProfessor of English Fred Pattee to teach the nation’s firstcourse in American literature, heretofore considered anunworthy stepchild of English literature. Professor ofAgriculture Whitman Jordan’s pioneering research on usingfertilizers for soil enrichment had global impact on cropyields. Penn State in 1871 became one of the first land-grant schools in the Northeast to admit women, graduatedits first international student in 1890, and its first African-American student in 1905.

In the early 1900s, Penn State launched an extensivesystem of outreach education, “carrying the college to thepeople,” as then-President Edwin Sparks liked to say. Itestablished the nation’s first collegiate-level correspon-dence courses in agriculture, and in 1912 helped create astatewide system of county agents in agriculture and homeeconomics. Today’s Penn State World Campus, with its“anywhere, anytime” learning using the Internet, isdescended from that strong outreach tradition.

But undergraduate education remained foremost. Asenrollment surpassed 5,000 students in 1936, Penn Statebecame Pennsylvania’s largest source of baccalaureatedegrees. Also in the 1930s, a state-wide system of under-graduate centers was created for students who, in thedepths of the Great Depression, could not afford to leavetheir hometowns to get a college education. The centersoffered the first year of baccalaureate studies and were thepredecessors of today’s system of 19 undergraduate cam-puses across the Commonwealth.

Following the Second World War, Penn State under-went unprecedented expansion, first to meet the needs ofreturning military veterans and later to accommodate theBaby Boom generation. Total enrollment at all Penn Statecampuses climbed to 40,000 by 1970.

The University also emerged on the national scene asa research powerhouse. Research — a land-grant obliga-tion — first garnered international attention in fields asdiverse as dairy science, acoustics, psychology, and petro-leum refining. As world-renowned faculty encouragedgreater student participation in their research, Penn Statewas able to provide an enriched undergraduate experiencethat was unavailable at any of the state-owned universities.

Annual research expenditures now exceed $717 mil-lion and are a major factor in why Penn State is the largestsingle non-governmental contributor to Pennsylvania’seconomy. The University generates about $8.5 billion intotal economic impact each year.

Today, as measured by the more than 100,000 applica-tions for admissions it receives annually, Penn State isAmerica’s most popular university. Enrollment is spreadamong 24 campuses statewide: University Park campus,the research and administrative hub; 19 primarily under-graduate campuses; Penn State Milton S. Hershey MedicalCenter; the Pennsylvania College of Technology; theDickinson School of Law; and the Penn State Great ValleySchool of Graduate Professional Studies.

Since he was appoint-ed Penn State’s 16thpresident in 1995, Dr.Graham Spanier hasbeen the guiding forcebehind several historicacademic initiatives,including the creation ofThe Schreyer HonorsCollege, the School ofInternational Affairs, thePenn State WorldCampus, and the

College of Information Sciences and Technology. He hasexpanded outreach to citizens of Pennsylvania and hasoverseen more than $2.5 billion in philanthropic contribu-tions to Penn State.

Dr. Spanier has been described as an unconventionaluniversity president. He loves spending time with students.He is a magician and adviser to the Penn State PerformingMagicians, and he has performed with Penn State’sMusical Theatre students, the Blue Band, the Glee Club,and the Chamber Orchestra. He occasionally substitutesfor the Nittany Lion mascot. He has run with the bulls inPamplona, has a commercial pilot’s license, and plays thewashboard with the Deacons of Dixieland and other bands.He and his racquetball partner are ten-time Penn State co-

ed intramural racquetball champions. He is the host of “Tothe Best of My Knowledge,” the live, call-in program onpublic television and radio. But most of his time is spentoverseeing one of the nation’s largest and most compre-hensive universities, with 92,000 students and 44,000employees on 24 campuses, an annual budget of nearly $4billion, and a physical plant of 1,700 buildings.

A national leader in higher education, Dr. Spanier wasthe recipient of the 2009 TIAA-CREF Theodore M.Hesburgh Award for Leadership Excellence. He serves aschair of the National Security Higher Education AdvisoryBoard, is a member of the National CounterintelligenceWorking Group, is a member of the Board of Advisors ofthe Naval Postgraduate School, and serves on the board ofJunior Achievement Worldwide.

Dr. Spanier has chaired the Association of AmericanUniversities, the Board of Directors of the NationalAssociation of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges,the Big Ten Conference Council of Presidents/Chancellors, and the NCAA Division I Board of Directors.He led the Kellogg Commission on the Future of State andLand-Grant Universities, was a founding member of theInternet2 board, and served on the Board of Trustees ofthe National 4-H Council. He was president of the NationalCouncil of Family Relations, chairman of the Board ofDirectors of the Christian Children’s Fund, vice-chair of theWorldwide Universities Network, and co-chair of the

Committee on Higher Education and the EntertainmentCommunities.

Dr. Spanier’s prior positions include chancellor of theUniversity of Nebraska-Lincoln, provost and vice presidentfor academic affairs at Oregon State University, and viceprovost for undergraduate studies at the State University ofNew York at Stony Brook. He previously served Penn Statefrom 1973-1982 as a member of the faculty and in threeadministrative positions in Penn State’s College of Healthand Human Development.

� Nittany Lion Legend

Penn State’s athletic symbol, chosen by the studentbody in 1906, is the mountain lion which once roamedcentral Pennsylvania.

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

Since Penn State is located in the Nittany Valley atthe foot of Mount Nittany, the lion was designated as aNittany Lion. In regional folklore, Nittany (or Nita-Neewas a valorous Indian princess in whose honor theGreat Spirit caused Mount Nittany to be formed. A laternamesake, daughter of chief O-Ko-Cho, who lived nearthe mouth of Penn’s Creek, fell in love with MalachiBoyer, a trader. The tearful maiden and her lost loverbecame legend and her name was given to the statelymountain.

� The “S” Zone

Organized in 1999 by the Penn State LionAmbassadors, the student alumni corps, the “S” Zonerevived one of the oldest traditions — Block S — in thestudent section at Beaver Stadium. Now formed when700 underclassmen don coordinated blue and white t-shirts, the giant block “S” is a striking symbol visiblethroughout the stadium and captured regularly bynational television cameras. The “S” Zone, which hashad several locations over the years, most recentlymoved from the end zone to the 20-yard line. The areais marked on the bleachers on Fridays before homegames by volunteers from the Lion Ambassadors whoalso seek sponsorships to offset the cost of printing thet-shirts and coordinate the delivery and distribution of t-shirts on game days.

� The Nittany Lion Shrine

Penn State’s Nittany Lion shrine was dedicated onOct. 24, 1942, during Homecoming Weekend. Animalsculptor Heinz Warneke and stonecutter Joseph Garattimolded a 13-ton block of Indiana limestone into themost recognizable symbol of Penn State. The shrinewas chosen from six models submitted by Warneke.

The shrine is a gift of the Class of 1940 and rests ina natural setting of trees near Recreation Building. Thesite was chosen because of its accessibility, the sur-rounding trees and the fact that the sculpture would notbe dwarfed by nearby buildings.

� Blue & White

Penn State’s student-athletes are instantly identifiedby their blue and white uniforms — but those weren’t theoriginal school colors.

A three-member committee representing the soph-omore, junior and senior classes was appointed inOctober of 1887 to develop color options from which thestudent body would select the school’s official colors.Dark pink and black was the unanimous choice of thestudent body after considering the color combinationspresented by the committee.

Soon many students and the baseball team weresporting pink and black striped blazers and caps.However, problems arose when the pink faded to whiteafter several weeks of exposure to the sun. The stu-dents then opted for blue, rather than black, and white.The official announcement of the new choice was madeon March 18, 1890.
