The NEW official RU-vid arm of the Penn State blog Linebacker-U.com. Expect mostly 10-minute highlight packages of old PSU football games with perhaps a few miscellaneous things sprinkled in.
All you have to know is every writer in Ohio and Michigan who voted in the AP poll voted for Nebraska. The idea that Penn State could come into the Big 10 and in their 2nd year as a conference member run the table was too much for them to handle. SMH.
The Boilers went to bed hearing Fight On State in their heads every night that week! What a game. Brees was such a baller but the PSU defense was on it on this game. I remember watching this as a kid. Thank you for sharing games like this.
ND got buried in this game coming in after losing the year before in gut wrenching fashion.. thankfully they beat them in 92 to rip their hearts out with that two point conversion..glorious moment
There are high school teams that could beat these sorry ala teams. That Shula curse, he was a sorry qb, and an even sorrier coach. Not one player was drafted into the Nfl in 2006. pitiful.
Woody in recruiting Schlister promised him he'd start his first game and the first play of the game would be a Schlichter pass and he kept both promises.
This is one of my favorite Penn State football moments, all these years later. This was the beginning of the turnaround and the end of the period of time many of us call the Dark Years (began in 1999 with the Minnesota field goal).
This was during a time in which there were INDEPENDENTS GALORE, and yet college football went about it's " business" just fine. Now...the game has self- deleted much of the rivalries,& traditions that made it special. Yet another unbroken American treasure that society decided to "fix".
I remember this game. I was a PSU Senior, had to work that day so ended up watching the game in a bar downtown State College. They literally scored AT WILL. I couldn't keep up!
That intro never gets old as a Penn State fan. Even though I was -8 years old when that came out, I still hum that before games during warm-ups. Our fans are the best in College Football, and we have fun every gameday. #WEARE
How did WVU go from the 88 team to whatever the hell I just saw. That WVU RB for WVU murrell started for the AZ cardinals for several seasons! You’d NEVER see such a gaping difference in talent like that in college football today. Overwhelmed and smothered at every second of play. I’m utterly embarrassed for this 💔 of a WVU football team. They couldn’t even get crap points against the back ups. And this team two years later goes 11-0 two years later,btw. Insane! 😂
I remember watching this game on VHS. I was living overseas and received care packages from home with Penn State and Steelers games. I would watch them multiple times to help with the homesickness which is probably why I have this one burned into my memory 30+ years later.. I vividly remember Paterno talking about the fake punt before half time. The team had enough mistakes in the first half for him to light them up in the locker room.
This defense was the typical bend but don't break!!! They were fantastic, Shane Conlin and Andre Collins were phenomenal and D.J. on the offense as well!!!! I loved when we went into the Fiesta bowl all about business!!! And, Miami got off the plane wearing military camaflouge and laughing, and then we intercepted Testaverte 5 times!!!!!!
Frank Solich should have been fired after this blowout. There was very little creativity and no defensive adjustments. Penn State threw screens, delayed run plays and play action all evening. The game with Miami showed cracks and flaws in the program and many thought it was due to talent differential. This game showed that Solich and this staff were not right for this job. Nebraska was actually the more talented team yet were blown out due to a lack of preperation, complacency, inability to adjust and the lack of creativity.
I thought byu's cougar stadium was "Skittles" stadium back in the 80s, but my gosh, Penn St has us beat here. Every color of the rainbow in the crowd. Red, yellow, green, lol. Stadiums look so much better now with school colors. Guess the whiteout wasn't a thing back then.
I’ve always said this if I need a quarterback for one game I’m going with Michael Robinson end of the story! I would literally pick him over any Qb in college history. I watched every play he ever made at psu.
There is no way in hell Nebraska could have stopped this amazing offense!!! It was the most balanced and complete offense in the history of college football!!! I would argue that with anyone!!!!
