Great couple days of college football. I remember watching this game and the USC - Texas game the next day. Both had me on the edge of my seat. Nothing better than bowl season.
I remember this game, I stayed up to watch it with my parents when I was 12, it's my favorite game that I ever watched. I misremembered a few things from this, I thought Florida State was ranked #4 for some reason. It went into triple overtime and I was so nervous and excited. I'm a Penn State fan and I think this is the best game I've ever seen. I used to be a casual Penn State fan until this year, only watching bowl games and big games with my parents, now this year I'm watching regular games. Thank you for letting me relive these memories.
I remember going to work late on 3rd shift because of this game. One of my top 5 PSU games. Michael Robinson was tough as nails... took that hit to the head when his helmet came off.
I "watched" this game from the jungles of Brazil (a selva). My friend in New Jersey had the game on the TV and he was giving the play-by-play over the telephone (that was a long and expensive call, but then I'm a Penn State grad, '84. When the game went into overtime, my friend kept threatening that he had to go to bed. " But I'm your boss I yelled. Go to work late!
PS and TenneseeTitans Linebacker Tim Shaw is From my husbands high school Clarenceville Mi Tim now is fighting ALS and is a inspiration he helped pay for the schools new field turf and additions and has a summer football camp for the youth .
Penn Stater here. The Noles and Bobby were my second favorite team, so I'd like to say I loved this game ... but I can't. Very sloppy: too many penalties and missed kicks.
Finished 8-5 that season because they always played up to their opponent like this game, but unfortunately always played down to their opponent! Overall we had no business in the orange, or any other bcs bowl that year! Bobby Bowdens last team that made a big new years bowl! Sugar,Orange,Rose,Sugar,Cotton! And really the cotton bowl was a joke a few years after the SWC devolved for like 10 years from 97-07! And the peach bowl just got as big as the rest recently, but before that it hosted conference runner ups only ! Always good games tho
FSU lost their final 3 regular season games, including getting pounded by Clemson and Florida, only to knock off #5 VA Tech decisively and then nearly beat a great PSU team. I will never understand how FSU managed such a strange season.
Florida State didn't really deserve to be in a BCS game in 2005 and entered the game with an 8-4 record ⁉🏈🏟However, Florida State played V-Tech and Penn State tough at the end of the season..Florida State upset a 10-1 V-Tech team in the ACC Championship and almost beat the Big11Ten Champion (PSU) in the Orange Bowl..🤔
