The Big Ten’s post-season lineup for the 2010-13 seasons will include six bowl games to be featured annually on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, including five contests on Jan. 1. In 2009, the conference announced four-year bowl extensions with the Capital One (vs. Southeastern Conference), Outback (SEC) and Insight (Big 12) and new four-year bowl agreements with the Konica Minolta Gator, Texas and Dallas Football Classic. The Big Ten is in the midst of an eight-year extension with the Rose Bowl through the 2013 season. This new Big Ten bowl lineup will run concurrently with the latest Bowl Championship Series contract. The Big Ten’s 2010-13 bowl lineup will begin in late December with the Texas Bowl in Houston against a Big 12 opponent, followed by six more post-season contests played over an estimated 26-hour period on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.

Sixty Years In Happy Valley Joe Paterno is celebrating 60 years as a member of the Penn State coaching staff. He came to Penn State with new head coach Rip Engle before graduating from Brown University in 1950. After 16 seasons as an assis-

tant coach under Engle, Paterno was named the Nittany Lions’ 14th head football coach on February 19, 1966.

The Nittany Lions were selected ECAC Team-of-the-Year for a record 13th time. In addition to the team accolades, quarterback Daryll Clark was selected ECAC Player-of-the-Year for the Football Bowl Subdivision, leading a group of five Nittany Lions that were named ECAC All-Stars among FBS institutions. Joe Paterno’s squad topped Big East Champion Cincinnati in the final ECAC Lambert Meadowlands Poll presented by FieldTurf to win its 24th Lambert Trophy under the Hall of Fame coach. Established in 1936 by brothers Victor and Henry Lambert in memory of their father, August, the LambertMeadowlands Trophy was first captured by Penn State in 1947, led by Coach Bob Higgins. Coach Rip Engle guided Lambert winners in 1961, ’64 and ’65. The first of Paterno’s 24 Lambert titles came in 1967, his second year as head coach. Sixteen institutions have captured the Lambert Meadowlands Trophy, but no four schools combined can match Penn State’s 28 titles. The Nittany Lions were selected ECAC Team-ofthe-Year for a record 13th time since becoming eligible in 1985.

through 2002. Cincinnati and Miami (Fla.) were tied for the second-highest GSR among AP Top 25 teams at 75 percent. Penn State’s 85 percent Graduation Success Rate was significantly higher than the 67 percent FBS average and was second to Northwestern among Big Ten Conference institutions, according to the NCAA.

For the second consecutive year, the Penn State football program was at the head of the class in ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America® selections. Three Nittany Lions repeated their Academic AllAmerica® accolades on the 2009 team: senior linebacker Josh Hull, senior kick-snapper Andrew Pitz and junior center Stefen Wisniewski. Hull and Pitz become the seventh and eighth Nittany Lions to earn first-team Academic All-America® honors twice. A program-record five Nittany Lions were named to the 2008 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America® team. Penn State has had 12 Academic All-Americans® over the past four years, with 10 first-team honorees. During Joe Paterno’s tenure, Penn State has had 44 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-Americans®, with 34 earning first-team honors.

Nearly 50 Football Student-Athletes Compile 3.0 GPA In Fall Semester

Lions No. 1 In Graduation Rates Among Top 25 Teams

Seven Returning Offensive Starters

Penn State compiled the highest Graduation Success Rate (GSR) and federal graduation rate among teams ranked in the final 2009 Associated Press Top 25 poll. Penn State football student-athletes that enrolled in the University in the fall of 2002 earned a federal graduation rate of 89 percent, easily the best among the teams ranked in the final AP poll. Alabama and Miami (Fla.) were tied for second at 75 percent. The Nittany Lions’ 89 percent federal graduation rate led all Big Ten Conference institutions and was 34 points above the 55 percent FBS average, according to the NCAA data released last November. The Nittany Lions also led all AP Top 25 teams with a program-record 85 percent Graduation Success Rate. The figure was based on Penn State football studentathletes entering the University in the fall of 1999

The Penn State football team produced another outstanding academic performance during the Fall 2009 semester, with nearly 50 squad members compiling at least a 3.0 grade-point average. Among the 49 Nittany Lions, 17 earned Dean’s List recognition by posting a 3.5 GPA or higher in the Fall semester. The total of 49 high achievers was third-highest in program history, trailing only 55 in Fall 2008 and 50 in Fall 2004. The total of 17 Nittany Lions that made the Dean’s List was tied for second-highest (tied with Spring 2008), trailing only the 19 honorees from the 2008 Fall semester. The Nittany Lions had 15 Academic All-Big Ten football honorees last fall, improving their conference-leading total to 241 since starting conference play in 1993.

The Nittany Lion offense returns seven starters, as well as five other players with starting experience. The most pressing needs will be finding replacements for record-setting quarterback Daryll Clark, tight ends Andrew Quarless and Mickey Shuler and tackle Dennis Landolt, a third-team All-American. Penn State was second in the Big Ten in total offense at 406.9 ypg and was the only team to rank in the top five in the conference in rushing, passing, scoring and total offense. The starting offensive unit welcomes back senior tailback Evan Royster, a Doak Walker Award candidate and 2009 first-team All-Big Ten selection. Three starting wide receivers return in Derek Moye, Chaz Powell and Graham Zug. Three offensive line starters are back as well: center Stefen Wisniewski and guards Lou Eliades and DeOn’tae Pannell, who also has started at tackle.

All-American Wisniewski To Lead Line Senior center Stefen Wisniewski returns to anchor the offensive line, a unit which made significant progress as the 2009 season unfolded. Penn State was third in the Big Ten in fewest sacks allowed and ranked No. 2 in total offense. Five players with starting experience return. A two-year starter, Wisniewski was a third-team AllAmerican last year and again should be among the top linemen in the nation. Senior Lou Eliades started all 13 games at right guard and junior DeOn’tae Pannell started the first four games at right tackle and the last three at left guard. Junior Johnnie Troutman started eight consecutive games at left guard before being slowed by an injury and should be a significant contributor this year. Sophomore Matt Stankiewitch also started two games at guard and could emerge as a big contributor. Productive Wide Receivers Return

Senior Graham Zug (46 catches for 600 yards and 7 touchdowns) is one of three returning wide receivers who started nine or more games last season.

Royster On Pace To Become Career Rushing Leader Senior tailback Evan Royster posted his second consecutive 1,000-yard season in 2009 and is on pace to become Penn State’s career rushing yardage leader. A first-team All-Big Ten choice, Royster gained 1,169 yards last year and his 5.7 per carry average was best in the conference among players with at least 110 attempts. He had 205 carries and scored six touchdowns. A Doak Walker Award candidate, Royster enters the season with 2,918 rushing yards, needing 481 yards to break Curt Warner’s school record of 3,398. Royster ranks eighth in Penn State annals, needing just 82 yards to become the sixth Nittany Lion with 3,000 career yards. Royster delivered six 100-yard rushing games last season, giving him 12 in his career, good for a tie for eighth in school history. Warner is the leader with 18 century-busting efforts. Tailback Stephfon Green gained 319 yards and scored three touchdowns last season, averaging 4.5 yards per carry. The quick junior also averaged 13.3 yards on his six receptions and 25.5 yards on four kickoff returns. Junior running back Joe Shery emerged as a productive runner, receiver and blocker last season, ranking fifth on the team with 21 catches for 186 yards and one score and rushing for 68 yards on 22 carries.

One of the biggest questions entering the 2009 season was quickly answered, as an inexperienced wide receiver corps made plays in the opener against Akron and throughout the season. Junior Derek Moye (48-785-6), senior Graham Zug (46-600-7) and junior Chaz Powell (28-366-3) all started nine or more games and played a significant role in Daryll Clark becoming the first Nittany Lion to throw for 3,000 yards in a season. Moye cracked the 100-yard mark three times, led by career-highs with six catches for 138 yards against Akron in his first career start. Zug led the team with seven touchdown receptions, including three in the 35-10 win at Michigan and made seven catches against Ohio State. Powell delivered a 79-yard lightning bolt on Penn State’s first play from scrimmage against Iowa, the Nittany Lions’ longest play from scrimmage last year. Senior Brett Brackett (3-13-1) and sophomores Curtis Drake (8-98-0), Justin Brown (5-78-0) and Devon Smith (4-30-0) bring additional athleticism and playmaking skills to the talented and deep unit. Junior Andrew Szczerba (1-6-0) is the Nittany Lions’ most experienced returning tight end after the graduation of Andrew Quarless and Mickey Shuler.

Defense Among Nation’s Top Five Since 2004 Over the past six seasons, Penn State is one of only two defensive units that rank among the top five in the nation in rushing defense (3rd, 96.99 ypg), scoring defense (3rd, 15.1 ppg) and total defense (5th, 290.3 ypg). Ohio State is the only other team ranked in the top five in the three categories. Since the start of the 2004 campaign, the Nittany Lions have held 50 of their 75 opponents (66.7 pct.) to 17 points or less, including 10 foes this past season and nine in 2008. Three of Penn State’s five bowl opponents have scored 17 points or less, including its most recent foe, LSU. Over the past six years, Penn State has limited 42 of 75 opponents (56 pct.) to 100 or fewer rushing yards, with eight foes failing to do so in each of the past four seasons. Among the teams failing to crack 100 rushing yards against the Nittany Lions were bowl opponents LSU, Southern California, Tennessee and Florida State. Penn State has not allowed a 100-yard rusher in the past 16 games, the nation’s third-longest streak. Nation’s Top Defenses From 2004-09 (Cumulative averages over the six seasons.)

Five Starters Return From Top 10 Defense Five starters return from a defensive unit that was ranked in the Top 10 nationally in rushing and scoring defense for the fifth consecutive year and in the Top 15 in total defense for the sixth straight season. Senior defensive tackle Ollie Ogbu is a two-year starter and will anchor the line. Junior defensive end Jack Crawford started every game last season and emerged as a playmaker. Three junior starters return in the secondary in cornerback D’Anton Lynn and safeties Drew Astorino andNick Sukay. Six additional defensive players return that have starting experience, including fifth-year senior linebacker Bani Gbadyu. The unit also will welcome the return of sophomore linebacker Michael Mauti, who missed the 2009 season with a serious knee injury. Among the top priorities will be replacing first-team All-America defensive tackle Jared Odrick and all three linebackers from arguably the nation’s top unit — Navorro Bowman, Josh Hull and Sean Lee. The trio earned All-Big Ten honors last year, giving “Linebacker U.” 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 finished in the top 15 nationally in rushing, total and scoring and pass efficiency defense, as well as sacks and tackles for loss in 2009, being joined by Oklahoma and Texas. The Nittany Lions permitted just 12.2 points per game to rank No. 3 in the nation last season. Penn State led the Big Ten, trailing only Nebraska (10.4 ppg) and Alabama (11.7 ppg) nationally. The Lions held 10 opponents 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 eight opponents to less than 100 rushing yards this past season. Penn State allowed only five runs of 20 yards or more all season, with the longest going for 28 yards. The Nittany Lions have not allowed a 100-yard rusher in the past 16 games, the nation’s third-best streak, behind only Alabama (34 games) and Ohio State (23). Penn State ranked No. 9 in the nation in total defense at 274.5 ypg for its sixth consecutive Top 15 finish. The Nittany Lions were No. 15 in pass efficiency defense (105.62 rating), tied for No. 6 in tackles for loss (105, 8.08 avg.) and tied for No. 10 in sacks (37, 2.85 avg.). Ogbu To Lead Defensive Line In addition to Jared Odrick, the Nittany Lions have lost the services of defensive end Jerome Hayes, who was a strong leader within the 2009 senior class. 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. Junior Devon Still made significant strides last season coming off two injuries and should be a strong contender for the other starting tackle spot. He made 19 stops last season, with 5.5 TFL and two sacks. Junior defensive end Jack Crawford started every game in 2009 and emerged as one of the Big Ten’s top defensive playmakers. Crawford was second on the team with 14.5 TFL, including 5.5 sacks for minus-44 yards, and ranked in the Top 10 in the conference in both categories. Junior Eric Latimore started five contests last year and also has demonstrated big-play capability, recording 3.5 sacks among his six minus-yardage plays.

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

Junior Kevion Latham (8 tackles, 4.0 TFL) and sophomore Sean Stanley (11 tackles 2 sacks) also should be strong challengers for significant playing time. Lion Linebacker Unit To Feature Three New Starters Among the most compelling battles during spring practice should be the ones for significant playing time at linebacker. Seniors Bani Gbadyu (37 tackles) and Chris Colasanti (18 tackles, 1 sack), junior Nate Stupar (31 tackles, 1 sack) and sophomores Gerald Hodges (3 tackles) and Michael Mauti (26 tackles, 1.0 TFL in 2008) figure to be the primary challengers. Mauti took a medical redshirt last season after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in preseason practice. Gbadyu has eight career starts and played in every game last season, as did Stupar, who started two games when Navorro Bowman was hurt and made a careerhigh 12 tackles against Akron. Trio Of Starters Return In Secondary Penn State will return six players with significant experience in the secondary, including three starters. Starting cornerback A.J. Wallace has departed and the top candidate likely will be sophomore Stephon Morris, who played in every game last year on defense and special teams. The hard-hitting Morris made 30 tackles and likely will join junior D’Anton Lynn in the starting 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) are returning starters at the safety positions. Astorino was fourth on the squad in tackles and also recovered two fumbles. Sukay was challenged by injuries earlier in his career, but he made very good progress last season and ranked No. 3 in the Big Ten with 13 passes defended. Senior Cedric Jeffries (12 tackles) and junior

Andrew Dailey (6 tackles, 1 interception) also have extensive experience in the secondary and will challenge for significant playing time. Placekicker Wagner Returns Senior placekicker Collin Wagner concluded his first season as the starter by connecting on all four of his field goal attempts in the Capital One Bowl, including the game-winner with 57 seconds to play. Wagner was fourth in the Big Ten in scoring with 91 points, going 15of-22 on field goals and connecting on all 46 of his PAT attempts. The Nittany Lions must replace All-Big Ten punter Jeremy Boone, Penn State’s career leader, and kick snapper Andrew Pitz. Junior Ryan Breen and redshirt freshman Anthony Fera are the primary candidates. Chaz Powell (16 KOR, 23.2 avg.) and Stephfon Green (4 KOR, 25.5 avg.) have been productive on the kickoff returns. Drew Astorino (7.9 avg.), Justin Brown (5.9 avg.) and Graham Zug (3.2 avg.) have experience on punt returns.

Lions Second In NCAA Attendance For Seventh Time This Decade Penn State fans continue to prove why they are regarded as the best in the nation as they flocked to Beaver Stadium, the nation’s largest facility, in nearrecord numbers last year. Sports Illustrated has called Beaver Stadium on football Saturdays “The Great Show in College Football” and 856,066 fans played an active part during the 2009 season, the second-highest total in school history. Among the most vociferous and passionate fans are more than 21,000 students, who were rated No. 1 in the nation by ESPN the Magazine in 2008. Nittany Lion football fans ranked second in NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) attendance during the 2008 season, for the seventh time in the past 10 years. Penn State has finished among the top four in FBS attendance for 19 consecutive years. Penn State averaged 107,088 for eight home games in 2009, according to figures released by the NCAA. The school-record average of 108,917 was set in 2007. Nittany Nation delivered Penn State’s second-highest overall home total attendance last season, narrowly edged by the 857,911 fans that came out for the eightgame home schedule in 2002. Penn State’s 107,008 average placed second among the 630 NCAA members surveyed, including 120 in the Football Bowl Subdivision. Michigan (108,933 avg.) led, followed by Penn State, Ohio State (105,261), Texas (101,175) and Tennessee (99,220). Georgia (92,746) was sixth, followed by LSU (92,489), Alabama (92,012), Florida (90,635), and Auburn (85,888). Since the 1991 season, the Nittany Lions have finished second in NCAA attendance in 1994, 2001, ‘02, ‘03, ‘06,’07, ‘08 and ‘09, third in 1991, ‘92, ‘93, ‘95, ‘96, ‘97, ‘98 and ‘99 and fourth in 2000, ‘04 and ‘05.

Fifteen Of Top 20 Home Crowds Last Five Years Penn State has drawn 15 of its top 20 all-time home crowds during the past five season to the 107,282-seat Beaver Stadium, which was expanded for the seventh time under Coach Joe Paterno prior to the 2001 season. An energetic crowd of 110,033 for the Nov. 7 showdown with Ohio State was the largest crowd of the season and the fourth-largest crowd in Beaver Stadium history. The Nittany Lions have won 33 of their last 37 home games (89.2), dating to the Senior Day win over Michigan State in 2004. Nearly 1.2 Million Watch Lions In ‘09 Nearly 1.2 million fans watched the Nittany Lions play in 2009, drawing the second-highest total in the nation. Penn State’s total attendance of 1,196,655 was the third-highest in program history, surpassed only by the then-NCAA record 1,247,707 in 2002 and 1,211,898 in 2008. Penn State’s 857,911 fans at home in 2002 were an NCAA record until the 2007 season. The Nittany Lions have played in front of more than one million spectators in 10 of the past 12 seasons. Penn State’s four away games drew 277,564 and the crowd of 63,025 for the 2010 Capital One Bowl gave the Nittany Lions 340,589 spectators away from Happy Valley. ESPN2 To Air Blue-White Game The Blue-White Game presented by AAA will be nationally televised live by ESPN2 on Saturday, April 24. Kickoff is 2 p.m. ET in Beaver Stadium. The 2010 BlueWhite game will be the first spring football game ESPN has televised among Big Ten Conference institutions.

TYLER AHRENHOLD 6-0, 175 Sr./Jr. Safety Blue Bell, Pa.

Safety Tyler Ahrenhold continues to make progress in his bid to earn time on the Penn State defense and special teams. Noted for his exemplary attitude and hard work, Ahrenhold will look to crack the secondary rotation in 2010. His father, Frank, lettered for the Nittany Lions from 1969-71.

DREW ASTORINO 5-10, 194 Sr./Jr. Safety Edinboro, Pa.

Much responsibility was placed upon the shoulders of Drew Astorino last season and he responded with the leadership and productivity the secondary needed. During spring practice and preseason camp, strong safety Astorino asserted himself as the quarterback of the secondary and he delivered a strong season with his play and as a leader for the unit, a role he is familiar with from throughout his athletic career. Playing in every game, with 12 starts, the former General McLane High School all-state selection earned honorable-mention AllBig Ten recognition in 2009. He led the team with 943 plays, topped by 97 against Northwestern and 92 in the Indiana game. The multi-talented athlete ranked fourth on the team with 62 tackles (37 solo), the highest total among defensive backs and linemen. The instinctive and intelligent Astorino also had one interception, one TFL, four pass breakups and tied for the team lead with two fumble recoveries. One of the squad’s surest tacklers 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 on Senior Day, as he recorded a career-high 10 tackles in the 31-20 victory over Indiana. In the 35-10 triumph at Michigan, Astorino made four tackles (three solo) and grabbed his third career interception, picking off Tate Forcier near the Penn State goal line and returning it 30 yards. The following week, he made a season-high five solo tackles (six total) in the 34-13 win at Northwestern, helping hold the Wildcats to less than half their season scoring average. Astorino’s hustle and assertiveness helped him secure his second fumble recovery of the year, falling on a loose ball caused by a Kevion Latham sack. The hard-hitting Astorino also made six tackles each against Syracuse, Illinois, Eastern Illinois and Ohio State, with a tackle for minus-three yards in the win over the Orange. He made five stops and recovered a fumble against Temple that led to a field goal and made five tackles (four solo) in the regular-season finale, a 42-14 victory at Michigan State. He had a pass breakup in helping the Lions beat LSU, 19-17, in the 2010 Capital One Bowl. Astorino, who led General McLane to Pennsylvania state football and basketball championships in 2006-07, is a hard worker who made excellent progress and will be counted on for substantial contributions the next two seasons.

QUINN BARHAM 6-3, 290 Sr./Jr. Guard Durham, N.C.

Quinn Barham played in six games last season, gaining experience and providing depth for an offensive line that had three new starters at the beginning of the 2009 campaign. Barham has experience playing guard and center during his career and with continued improvement should have an opportunity to play a larger role for the offense in 2010. He served as the top reserve to Lou Eliades at right guard, earning snaps in the wins over Akron, Syracuse, Temple, Illinois, Eastern Illinois and Michigan State. Barham saw action on 123 snaps, led by 36 in the Syracuse victory. Barham is one of three Nittany Lions from North Carolina.

BRANDON BEACHUM 6-0, 218 Jr./Jr. Running Back Youngstown, Ohio

Brandon Beachum proved to be a stabilizing force in the backfield last season, utilizing his many skills as an effective runner, receiver and blocker. He appeared in the first 11 games and was seeing more playing time as the season progressed, but suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee as a member of the kickoff return unit against Indiana. Beachum had surgery soon after the injury and his rehabilitation will take a minimum of nine months. In the early portion of the season, Beachum was the No. 2 fullback and played on special teams, where he made nine tackles, most among all offensive players. But, when Stephfon Green suffered a sprained ankle against Minnesota, Beachum was shifted to tailback and continued his progression. He finished fourth on the team in rushing with 113 yards on 24 carries (4.7) with one touchdown. The former Cardinal Mooney High School standout scored on a two-yard run in the Nittany Lions’ 34-13 victory at Northwestern, gaining 25 yards on just four carries. A strong and talented athlete, Beachum gained a seasonhigh 28 yards on four carries against Eastern Illinois, also recording two special teams tackles. He also gained 20 yards on four attempts in the 20-0 win over Minnesota and had 23 yards on seven carries in the 3510 win at Michigan. He also had three receptions for 29 yards, including a 14-yard catch against Akron. He was on the field for 234 snaps, topped by 38 in the Michigan game. Beachum should be close to 100 percent in time for preseason camp in August. Beachum and running back Michael Zordich were prep teammates at Cardinal Mooney. They are among six Nittany Lions from Ohio.

BRETT BRACKETT 6-6, 232 Gr./Sr. Wide Receiver Lawrenceville, N.J.

Justin Brown made significant progress during his true freshman season as a Nittany Lion. The talented wideout made his Penn State debut in the win over Syracuse and played in 11 games. Brown has very good size, speed and athleticism and made five receptions for 78 yards for an impressive 15.6 average. He also provided a spark for the punt return unit, with seven returns that included the team’s two longest of the season — 20 yards against Eastern Illinois and 18 yards in the win over LSU in the Capital One Bowl. Brown’s most notable game was a three-catch, 45-yard effort against Eastern Illinois. In the 34-13 win at Northwestern, he made a season-long 27-yard grab. He saw action on 120 snaps during the 2009 campaign. Brown earned allstate honors as a wideout and defensive back at Concord High School. He made 27 receptions for 500 yards and 10 touchdowns as a senior. As a junior, he also garnered first-team all-state accolades in the secondary, second-team as a wideout and third-team as a punter. One of five Nittany Lions from Delaware, Brown has a promising future with the offense and special teams.

BROWN’S CAREER STATISTICS

Brett Brackett emerged as a leader of a talented, but youthful corps of Nittany Lion receivers during the 2009 campaign. He was one of the few wideouts with significant playing time heading into last season and he will be looked to for leadership and production during his senior season. Playing in every game, Brackett’s three catches for 13 yards and one touchdown are not indicative of the impact he made on the Nittany Lion offense. With great size and athleticism, he has developed into a strong and reliable blocker and receiver. The former Lawrence High School standout has played an instrumental role on short-yardage and goal line situations. He helped Penn State convert 48 percent of its third-down opportunities, which led the Big Ten and ranked eighth nationally. He also played a direct role in helping the offense convert 88 percent of its Red Zone visits into points. Brackett made a two-yard touchdown catch against Eastern Illinois. He also had a reception against Akron and a season-long 18-yard catch against Indiana. He was on the field for 156 snaps. Brackett is president of Penn State’s Uplifting Athletes chapter. He plays an instrumental role in organizing the team’s annual Lift for Life event. The July 2009 event raised a record $81,000 for the Kidney Cancer Association, bringing the team’s total to more than $400,000 raised in the event’s seven-year existence. Brackett received his degree in marketing in December 2009 and is working on a second degree, in economics. He compiled a 3.83 grade-point average last fall for Dean’s List honors. He is among 10 Nittany Lions from New Jersey.

CHRIS COLASANTI 6-2, 238 Sr./Sr. Linebacker Leonard, Mich.

Chris Colasanti did not play in the first two games of the 2009 campaign as the coaching staff considered a redshirt season, but early-season injuries to Navorro Bowman and Sean Lee brought the hard-hitting linebacker back to the field against Temple. The coaching staff knew that the talented and experienced Colasanti could provide consistently productive play for the defense and special teams and he delivered. Playing in the final 11 contests, he made 18 total tackles (nine solo) last season, serving as the top reserve at middle linebacker. The former Brother Rice High School standout made a career-high six stops against Eastern lllinois, including his first career sack. He also made two solo stops each in the victories at Michigan and Northwestern. Colasanti added three stops in the 19-17 Capital Bowl win over LSU. He was on the field for 196 snaps, led by 28 against Ohio State. With the graduation of Bowman, Lee and Josh Hull from one of the nation’s premier linebacker units, Colasanti should be a strong candidate for a significant role this year. One of three Nittany Lions from Michigan, he is a two-time Academic All-Big Ten selection. Colasanti brought a 3.57 grade-point average into the spring semester and is a potential ESPN The Magazine Academic AllAmerica® candidate.

JACK CRAWFORD

JACK CRAWFORD 6-5, 256 Jr./Jr. Defensive End Longport, N.J.

The outcome of last season’s Ohio State game is one Jack Crawford has filed away. What the talented defensive end will remember about the clash with Penn State’s border rival is having a member of his family in the stands for the first time in his collegiate career. Born in England, Crawford moved to the United States in 2005, intending to pursue basketball as his primary sport. As a junior at St. Augustine Prep in 2006, he joined the football team and found immediate success as a defensive end and tight end. During his senior season, the London native emerged as a standout, leading to his matriculation to Happy Valley. And when the Buckeyes visited Beaver Stadium, one of his older brothers, Douglas, made the trek from London, becoming the first member of the Crawford family to watch Jack play in person. As a true freshman in 2008, Crawford played in every game. The highly-skilled athlete earned a starting assignment in preseason in 2009 and quickly demonstrated his play-making skills by ranking second on the team with 14.5 tackles for losses. He possesses outstanding physical attributes, athleticism and determination and made significant progress during his initial year as a starter. In 2009, Crawford finished ninth in the Big Ten in tackles for losses (14.5 for minus-67) and 10th with 5.5 sacks (minus44). 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 lead with two fumble recoveries, had one forced fumble and three pass breakups. He had at least one minusyardage play in 10 games last season. He saw action on 677 snaps, the sixth-highest total among 2010 returnees, topped by 68 against Iowa. Crawford had a memorable first career start in the win over Akron, recording two tackles, both for a loss, and his first career sack. He had a big game against Temple, posting 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. In the win at Illinois, he was very productive, totaling four tackles, including 1.5 sacks, and recovering a fumble at the Illinois 14 to set up a touchdown. His third sack of the year was big, as he dropped Juice Williams for a 15yard loss late in the first half. Crawford’s pressure also forced Williams into an intentional grounding penalty, pushing the Illini out of field goal range. Against Eastern Illinois, Crawford had two tackles, one of which was a sack that resulted in a loss of 15 yards. In the 35-10 thumping of Michigan, Crawford made three solo tackles, all for a loss (minus-9 yards). His standout performance included a sack and a forced fumble. In the 3413 win at Northwestern, he made two solo tackles, including one for a loss of five yards, and recovered a fumble on the game’s opening drive. The recovery led to a field goal. Crawford made two pass breakups in the Senior Day win over Indiana. In the Capital One Bowl win over LSU, he recorded one TFL for minus-two yards. Crawford has tremendous work-ethic and energy and a very bright future as a significant contributor for the defense the next two seasons. He is one of 10 Nittany Lions from New Jersey.

Safety Andrew Dailey has played in every game the past two seasons, contributing on defense and special teams. The 2009 season was his first at safety after working at linebacker in 2008. The former Massillon Washington High School standout recorded six tackles last season, led by two stops in the 35-10 win at Michigan. Dailey delivered a big special teams play in the season-opener against Akron, bursting 37 yards when he ran with the ball on a fake punt. The athletic and instinctive safety also blocked a punt against Eastern Illinois. He made one tackle in the 19-17 win over LSU in the Capital One Bowl. Among six Nittany Lions from Ohio, Dailey saw action on 275 snaps on defense and special teams in 2009. He is a versatile player with multiple talents who should have an opportunity to play a larger role for the defense this season.

The Nittany Lions threw 25 touchdown passes during the 2009 season — 24 belonging to Big Ten CoMVP Daryll Clark. The final one belonged to wide receiver Curtis Drake, who saw significant action as a true freshman last year. An all-state quarterback at West Philadelphia Catholic High School, Drake’s scoring strike to tight end Andrew Quarless was a significant one in helping the Nittany Lions to their 10th win and a New Year’s Day bowl berth. Tied, 7-7, early in the third quarter at Michigan State, Drake took a hand-off from Clark and appeared headed around the right end when he pulled up and lofted a pass that Quarless went up and grabbed near the back of the end zone for a 14-7 lead just 1:07 into the second half. The play began a 28point barrage in the third quarter, propelling Penn State to the 42-14 win. Playing in every game in 2009, Drake made eight receptions for 98 yards (12.2). A versatile and instinctive athlete, he also gained 24 yards on just four carries, including a 26-yard end-around in the win over Indiana. The 2008 Pennsylvania Class AA Playerof-the-Year, Drake made his first career reception in the season-opening win over Akron. He also made a 10yard reception against hometown Temple and earned his first career start in the win at Illinois. The swift and intelligent Drake was ready for the challenge when Chaz Powell was injured on the second play of the Indiana game. He made two catches for 34 yards, in addition to his big run. Drake was a big contributor in the win at Michigan State. In addition to his touchdown pass, he made two receptions for 22 yards and had an 18-yard carry, helping the Lions eclipse 500 yards for the fourth time in 2009. Drake made a key 12-yard reception during Penn State’s game-winning drive against LSU in the Capital One Bowl. He was on the field for 186 plays during the 2009 season, led by 37 at Michigan State. As a senior at West Philadelphia Catholic, Drake ran for 1,639 yards and 21 touchdowns, averaging 14.5 yards per carry. He also completed 60 percent of his passes for 1,354 yards and 15 touchdowns. Drake saw the most time on the field among the Nittany Lions’ true freshmen on offense last season and has a very promising future.

LOU ELIADES 6-4, 310 Sr./Sr. Tackle Ocean, N.J.

Lou Eliades assumed control of the right guard position during the 2009 preseason and made significant strides as the season progressed. Joining center Stefen Wisniewski and left tackle Dennis Landolt as a starter in every game, Eliades made very good progress in his first season as a starter, gaining significant experience. Possessing great physical attributes and desire, he was instrumental in providing protection for Daryll Clark and running lanes for Evan Royster, helping them eclipse 3,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards, respectively. Eliades’ development helped stabilize and improve the line of an offense that ranked No. 2 in the Big Ten, averaging 406.9 yards per game. Penn State was No. 5 in scoring (28.8 ppg) and was the only Big Ten team ranked in the top five of the conference’s four primary offensive statistical categories: total, scoring, rushing (169.8 ypg) and passing offense (237.2 ypg). Behind the protection of Eliades and his linemates, Clark finished No. 2 in the Big Ten in passing efficiency and with a school season-record 24 touchdown passes. Penn State finished third in the Big Ten in fewest sacks allowed. Eliades played on 842 snaps last season, the fifth-highest total on the team, led by 86 each in the wins over Minnesota and LSU. The Nittany Lions started the season with a bang, throwing for a season-high 379 yards, a career-best for Clark, in the 31-7 win over Akron. At Illinois, Penn State rolled up 338 rushing yards, getting 100-yard games from Green (120) and Royster (105) and 83 yards from Clark. In the 52-3 pounding of Eastern Illinois, Penn State displayed dominating balance, racking up 268 yards passing and 285 yards rushing en route to a season-best yardage total of 553. The Minnesota victory capped a three-week stretch in which Eliades and the offensive line did not allow a sack. Clark continued to receive excellent protection from his line against Michigan, when he tied a career-high by tossing four touchdown passes in the 3510 win. In the victory at Northwestern, the Lions’ fifth straight, the offense gained 301 yards in the second half and 437 for the game, averaging 7.5 yards per play. In the 31-20 Senior Day win over Indiana, Eliades and the O-Line did not allow a sack and helped Penn State gain 181 rushing yards and 194 passing yards. In the 42-14 defeat of Michigan State, Eliades helped Penn State deliver one of its most dominating offensive efforts of the season. The Nittany Lions amassed 512 yards of total offense, their fourth game of 500 or more yards, and had a season-high 10 plays of 20 yards or more from scrimmage, with four going for touchdowns. Penn State scored 28 points in the third quarter, which tied a high for scoring in a quarter for the season. In the Capital One Bowl victory over LSU, Eliades was instrumental in the Lions’ 12-play, 65-yard game-winning scoring drive in the waning minutes, and in totaling 340 total yards in challenging conditions. With the graduation of Landolt and right tackle Ako Poti, Eliades joins Stefen Wisniewski as the Nittany Lions’ most experienced O-Linemen in 2010. He is on schedule to receive his degree in kinesiology in May. Eliades is among 10 Nittany Lions from New Jersey.

MIKE FARRELL 6-6, 298 Jr./So. Tackle Pittsburgh, Pa.

Mike Farrell has made good progress during his first two years in Happy Valley. Farrell served as a top reserve at left and right tackle in 2009 and continues to work hard in his bid for more playing time. He helped Penn State gain more than 500 yards in wins over Akron and Eastern Illinois, playing in five games last season. A first-team all-state selection at Shady Side Academy, Farrell has good size and skills. With the graduation of starters Dennis Landolt and Ako Poti, Farrell should be among the primary candidates to earn significant time in the tackle rotation this season.

BANI GBADYU

STEPHFON GREEN

6-1, 231 Sr./Sr. Linebacker Gaithersburg, Md.

5-10, 197 Sr./Jr. Tailback Bronx, N.Y.

Playing in a program well-renowned for its linebackers, Bani Gbadyu was one of the primary contributors for the unit during the 2009 season. He saw action in all 13 games on defense and special teams and will look to emerge as a larger contributor during his senior season. Gbadyu ranked seventh on the squad with 37 tackles, the highest total among players that did not start at least half the games. He also had 0.5 tackles for loss, one forced fumble and a pass breakup. He played on 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 week prior, and he responded with seven tackles. The contest against the Hawkeyes would mark the first of five consecutive starts for Gbadyu and he made the most of the opportunity. He recorded a career-high eight hits in the win at Illinois and made five stops and forced a fumble in the 35-10 victory at Michigan. Gbadyu also made six tackles in the win over Temple. An instinctive athlete, Gbadyu is one of the most experienced players on the Penn State defense and should be among the primary challengers for a starting assignment at “Linebacker U.” in 2010. Gbadyu is one of 10 Nittany Lions from Maryland.

BANI GBADYU

Penn State is blessed to have one of the top running back tandems in the Big Ten, with Stephfon Green providing a great complement to All-Big Ten tailback Evan Royster. Green is among the conference’s fastest and most athletic players and has been productive as a runner, receiver and kick returner the past two seasons. Green has successfully returned from a dislocated right ankle in the fourth quarter of the 2009 Rose Bowl game with Southern California. In that contest, the talented and instinctive player gained a team-high 124 all-purpose yards, rushing for 57 yards and gaining 67 yards on five catches. The Bronx product gained 319 yards on 71 carries (4.5) in 2009, despite missing the Michigan and Northwestern games with a sprained ankle. The highly energetic and enthusiastic Green scored three rushing touchdowns and had six receptions for 80 yards (13.3) last season. His 25.5-yard average on four kickoff returns led the team. Green saw action on 225 plays on offense and special teams in 2009. A strong runner with a great burst, Green and Royster combined for a Big Ten first in Penn State’s 17 years in the conference in the win at Illinois. Green posted his second career 100-yard rushing game and had a career-high in carries, gaining 120 yards on 13 attempts against the Illini. He got the Lions on the scoreboard with a thrilling 52yard touchdown burst through the heart of the Illini defense in the second quarter. Royster tallied 105 yards, as they became the first tandem of Penn State running backs to each eclipse 100 yards in the Big Ten era. Green was instrumental in jump-starting the Penn State rushing attack, which gained 338 yards, its highest total in three years. He gained 19 yards and scored a rushing touchdown in the win over Temple, also catching two passes for 28 yards. Green carried eight times for 58 yards (7.2 avg.) and delivered his third rushing touchdown of the season, a 26-yard scoring romp in the third quarter, in the win over Eastern Illinois. The former John F. Kennedy High School standout sprained an ankle in the first half against Minnesota and missed the next two games. Green ran for 26 yards on eight carries in the Senior Day win over Indiana. In the 42-14 win at Michigan State, he carried the ball five times and caught a screen pass for a season-long 31 yards in the second quarter. Green carried the ball seven times for 35 yards in the Capital One Bowl against LSU, including a huge six-yard gain for a first down at the Tigers’ eight in the waning minutes. A personable young man with a broad smile, Green is a hard worker who has been highly effective for the offense and special teams and should play a larger role the next two seasons. He is one of eight Nittany Lions from New York, five of whom are from metropolitan New York City. Green is one of three Penn State players from John F. Kennedy High School, being joined by Stephen Obeng-Agyapong and Shaine Thompson.

GREEN’S RECEIVING STATISTICS

Jordan Hill appeared headed for a redshirt season last fall as a true freshman, but his impressive progress and play in practice made it apparent to the coaching staff that he needed to be on the field. Hill made his Penn State debut against Eastern Illinois, the fifth game of the season, and made an immediate and positive impression, recording a season-high four tackles in the win over the Panthers. Playing in the final eight games, the strong and mobile defensive tackle made 12 tackles, including a sack in the 35-10 win at Michigan. A 2008 first-team all-state selection at Steelton-Highspire High School, Hill made at least one tackle in seven of the eight contests he played in. The Max Preps small-school All-American recorded two stops each against Ohio State and Indiana. He played on 99 snaps, led by 17 each against Eastern Illinois, Michigan and Indiana. Hill was instrumental in helping Steelton-Highspire capture the 2007 and 2008 Pennsylvania Class A championships, including an undefeated campaign as a senior. The talented and promising lineman was a three-time allconference selection on defense and as a running back. With the graduation of All-America defensive tackle Jared Odrick, Hill should be among the primary contenders for a significant role on the defensive line in 2010.

The abundance of talented football student-athletes from Texas has found a more well-traveled path to Happy Valley in recent years. Four returnees on the 2010 squad are Lone Star State products, including cornerback D’Anton Lynn. He was one of the most unheralded members of the Nittany Lions’ Top 10 defense last season, just quietly and effectively going about his business of covering some of the nation’s top wideouts. Lynn and the secondary should take great pride in their efforts to hold Minnesota’s Eric Decker, the Big Ten’s leading receiver at the time, to just one catch and blanking the Golden Gophers, 20-0, on Homecoming. With all four secondary starters from 2008 having departed, the vastly talented and intelligent Lynn grabbed ahold of one of the starting corner spots in preseason and made

Pete Massaro is looking forward to 2010 and an opportunity to rejoin a talented group of Nittany Lion defensive ends on the field. Massaro was looking like a contributor for the 2009 season, but a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the Blue-White game ended his year. Massaro had surgery last May, is making great progress in his rehabilitation and will be ready to have an impact in 2010. He will join defensive ends Jack Crawford, Kevion Latham and Eric Latimore on a unit that finished tied for first in the Big Ten with 37 sacks in 2009. A second-team all-state selection at Marple Newtown High School in greater Philadelphia, Massaro has good size, skills and instincts to emerge as contributor in 2010. Michael Mauti is looking forward to this fall and an opportunity to return to the field and challenge for a starting linebacker assignment. Mauti tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during an August practice, sidelining him for the 2009 season. He has made great progress in his rehabilitation and should be 100 percent by the start of preseason camp. He took a medical red-

substantial progress. A starter in every game, he earned honorable-mention All-Big Ten accolades. Lynn made 35 tackles (26 solo), eighth on the team and tops among cornerbacks. He had 3.5 tackles for loss, including half a sack against Iowa, and five pass breakups. He was on the field for 790 snaps last season, the fifth-highest total among returnees, topped by 81 against Indiana. A quick and instinctive player, Lynn stepped into a unit that had some uncertainty in August due to inexperience and was a productive and stabilizing factor. An all-state honoree at Celina High School, he recorded a career-high eight tackles (five solo) in the 34-13 victory at Northwestern, helping hold the Wildcats to less than half their season scoring average. Lynn made six solo stops in the Senior Day win over Indiana and had five hits in the win over Eastern Illinois. He recorded three solo tackles, with a minus-yardage play, in the 42-14 win at Michigan State, helping hold the Spartans to 94 rushing yards and 17 points below their season scoring figure. Lynn made one tackle in the Capital One Bowl victory over LSU. His father, Anthony Lynn, was an AllSouthwest Conference running back at Texas Tech and is the running backs coach with the New York Jets. A tough and determined player, the younger Lynn has a very promising future and should continue to be a significant contributor for the defense the next two seasons.

shirt last year, having played as a true freshman in 2008. A U.S. Army All-American at Mandeville High School, Mauti was one of three true freshmen to play in every game in 2008. Playing on defense and special teams, he made 26 tackles, with one minus-yardage stop and one forced fumble. The talented and instinctive Mauti made a season-high seven tackles in the win over Michigan, with a tackle for loss, and forced a fumble. His older brother, Patrick, was a wide receiver and special teams standout for the Nittany Lions from 2006-09. Their father, Rich, was a letterman at Penn State in 1975 and ’76 and played eight seasons in the NFL.

DEREK MOYE 6-5, 198 Sr./Jr. Wide Receiver Rochester, Pa.

Matt McGloin is a skilled athlete with a strong and accurate arm who has made good progress in his two years with the Nittany Lions. McGloin played in three games during the 2009 season as the No. 3 quarterback and is working hard to put himself into position to challenge for a more significant role this season. The former West Scranton High School standout saw his first collegiate action in the win over Syracuse and had two pass attempts against Eastern Illinois. McGloin also took some snaps in the big win at Michigan State. McGloin and redshirt freshman tackle Eric Shrive were prep teammates at West Scranton. Just as one former Eleanor Roosevelt (Md.) High School standout departed Happy Valley, another one arrived ready to also make a big impact for the Nittany Lions. The impact Derrick Williams had on the Penn State program is well documented, as he, Justin King and several current fifth-year seniors made their commitment to Penn State during the 2005 signing period, pledging to return the Nittany Lions to national championship contention. They did that and more so, with the 2009 fifth-year seniors delivering 51 wins. Cornerback Stephon Morris arrived on campus last summer and he, too, has wasted little time in becoming an important contributor for a team that has played in four different New Year’s Day bowl games in the past five years. An exceptional cornerback, running back and kick returner at Eleanor Roosevelt, the athletic and highly-skilled Morris made a seamless transition into a prominent contributor for Penn State’s Top 10 defense during his true freshman season. He should be a strong challenger for a starting assignment in 2010. His impact is felt as a

productive corner and special teams player and by the opposition, as Morris easily is among the squad’s biggest hitters. One of eight true freshmen to see time in 2009, Morris made 30 tackles (24 solo), grabbed an interception and broke up a pass. He also delivered one hit for a loss at Michigan State, where he made his first career start. Blessed with great instincts and work-ethic, he saw action in all 13 games and 505 snaps, the highest total among the 2009 true freshmen, led by 77 in the win at Northwestern. With senior A.J. Wallace injured and out of the lineup, Morris made the most of his first career start in East Lansing. The aggressive defender tied his season-high with five tackles (four solo) and played a significant role in limiting the Spartans to just 14 points, 17 below their average. In the Capital One Bowl against LSU, he again tied his season-high by recording five solo tackles in the big 19-17 win. Morris also posted a season-high five stops against Ohio State. He made three solo stops in the 34-13 win at Northwestern and three hits in the Senior Day victory over Indiana. The physical and swift athlete saw his playing time increase in the second half of the season as he became more comfortable, making 23 stops in the final six games. He pulled down his first career interception at Illinois on a Juice Williams’ pass, returning it 70 yards on the final play of the first half. In addition to playing a significant role in the secondary, the suretackling Morris has established himself as an impact player on special teams. Morris should be a prime contender for a starting job in the secondary and has a very bright future over the next three seasons. He is one of 10 Nittany Lions from Maryland.

KEVIN NEWSOME 6-2, 220 So./So. Quarterback Portsmouth, Va. Tackles (Total-Solo-Assist) Akron 0-0-0; Syracuse 1-1-0; Temple 2-1-1; Iowa 0-0-0; Illinois 2-2-0; Eastern Illinois 1-0-1; Minnesota 1-1-0; Michigan 2-2-0; Northwestern 3-3-0; Ohio State 5-3-2; Indiana 3-2-1; Michigan State 5-4-1; LSU 5-5-0.

Any questions as to how the Penn State receiving corps would fare after losing three of its most prolific pass catchers in program history to graduation were quickly answered in the 2009 season-opener with Akron. In his first career start, Derek Moye exhibited some of the skills and athleticism that had made him an all-state running back and state champion sprinter at Rochester (Pa.) High School. He set career-highs with six receptions for 138 yards and one touchdown, averaging 23.0 yards per catch. The 138 receiving yards were a 2009 team season-high and the most by a Nittany Lion since Deon Butler posted a school-record 216 yards against Northwestern in 2006. Moye made four receptions of 20 yards or more, including a leaping 42-yard effort to get the Lions deep into Akron territory and set up a touchdown late in the first half for a 31-0 lead. The game was the first of numerous superb performances last season by Moye, who earned honorable-mention All-Big Ten recognition. The talented and swift wideout with great size led the team with 48 receptions for 785 yards (16.4) and had six touchdowns. Moye was ranked ninth in the Big Ten in receiving yardage at 60.4 ypg and his 16.4-yard average per catch was second-highest among the conference’s top 10 receivers. His 48 receptions were tied for No. 7 in school season history and his 785 receiving yards were good for No. 13. The six-catch effort against Akron would be the first of four contests in 2009 where Moye made half a dozen grabs, including three consecutive wins. He led the team with six receptions for 120 yards in the 20-0 Homecoming win over Minnesota. Moye made a superb 12-yard diving touchdown catch and managed to drag a foot in bounds to give the Lions a 130 lead near the end of the first half. Moye made six catches the following week in the 35-10 win at Michigan, gaining 53 yards. All six catches came in the first 20 minutes to significantly help the offense get off to a fast start. Moye tied his career-high for the third consecutive game with six receptions at Northwestern, gaining 123 yards. The 100-yard receiving game was his third of the year. The sure-handed and strong Moye streaked past his defender down the sideline and grabbed a 53-yard scoring strike from Daryll Clark in the fourth quarter to give the Nittany Lions a 27-13 lead. The 53-yard reception was the longest of his career. Moye made a fouryard touchdown catch against Temple, made two catches for 48 yards against Iowa and had a 25-yard scoring grab against Eastern Illinois. In the 42-14 victory at Michigan State, Moye was active in the offensive outburst, hauling in four receptions for 56 yards to help Clark accumulate 310 passing yards. Moye grabbed a 37-yard touchdown catch to give Penn State a 7-0 lead in the Capital One Bowl win over LSU. He made three catches for 53 yards against the Tigers. Moye saw action on 660 snaps last year, the seventh-highest total

CHIMA OKOLI 6-4, 293 Sr./Jr. Tackle Virginia Beach, Va.

Ollie Ogbu quietly delivered a highly productive campaign last season in his second year as a starter at defensive tackle. A starter in 22 games over the past two seasons, Ogbu has played a significant role in Penn State’s Top 10 defense. The senior takes great pride in the Nittany Lions continuing to rank among the nation’s most difficult teams to run the ball against. Penn State has not allowed a 100-yard rusher in the last 16 games, the nation’s third-

completing better than 70 percent of his attempts during his true freshman season. A physical player with an infectious smile, Newsome completed 8-of-11 passes (72.7) for 66 yards, with a long completion of 14 yards. He was fifth on the squad with 95 rushing yards, averaging 4.8 yards on his 20 attempts, and scoring twice. Newsome made his Penn State debut in the season-opener with Akron, going 3-of-4 for 26 yards and gaining 12 yards on two carries. A U.S. Army AllAmerican at Hargrave Military Academy, he had a 15-yard burst in the win over Temple and a 16-yard run in the win at Illinois. Newsome gained a season-high 49 yards on seven carries against Eastern Illinois, scoring his first career TD on a nine-yard run. He also established season-highs in passing against the Panthers, going 4-of-5 for 34 yards. Newsome carried the ball three times for 13 yards and a TD in the win at Michigan State. Rated the nation’s No. 10 prep quarterback by Scout.com in 2008, Newsome has made significant improvement during the past year and will be a strong candidate for the starting quarterback assignment this fall. Newsome, who enjoys playing the piano, is one of six Lions from Virginia.

When Kevin Newsome arrived on the Penn State campus in January 2009, the highly-regarded player had the luxury of knowing he was going to spend a year learning from a firstteam All-Big Ten quarterback. He also knew that he needed to quickly get assimilated and comfortable with the offense with a long-term eye toward 2010, but sooner in order to gain some game experience while Daryll Clark was still guiding the team. Newsome greatly benefitted from the early enrollment, participating in winter workouts before the sun came up, 15 spring practices and summer workouts with Clark, Matt McGloin and the wideouts before preseason camp began. The Nittany Lions held each of their first three opponents to seven points or less, permitting the athletic and vastly talented Newsome to gain some immediate experience. One of eight true freshmen to see time last season, he played in 10 games and has made substantial progress over the past year. Newsome is a quick and elusive runner and continues to improve as a passer,

longest streak. The Nittany Lions held eight opponents to less than 100 rushing yards last season and ranked No. 6 in the nation in rushing defense at a measly 89.8 yards per game. An honorable-mention 2009 All-Big Ten selection, he started every game last year. The hard-working and tough Ogbu brings a great attitude to the field and will be counted on for leadership and more big plays this year, especially with the departures of Jared Odrick and Jerome Hayes from the D-Line. Ogbu made 30 tackles last year, with 8.0 tackles for loss (minus-19), two sacks and a teamhigh three forced fumbles. He ranked sixth in TFL on a team that led the Big Ten and was sixth in the nation in minus-yardage plays (105 TFL, 8.08 per game). The talented and mobile Ogbu has a great motor and enthusiasm for the game and continues to make good progress in his play and as a leader for the D-Line. The Staten Island product recorded a career-high six tackles in the season-opening 31-7 win over Akron, including 2.5 TFL. He helped hold the Zips to eight first downs (none in the first half), 28 rushing yards and 186 total yards. The strong and athletic Ogbu made three tackles against Temple and forced a fumble that was recovered by Drew Astorino at the Owls’ 23 and led to a field goal. The former Milford Academy AllAmerican made two tackles in the 52-3 victory over Eastern Illinois. He recorded a sack, 1.5 TFL and a forced fumble that Navorro Bowman returned 91 yards for a touchdown, the longest fumble return in program history. The relentless Ogbu had three stops in the 20-0 blanking of Minnesota, including a minus-yardage play. He had a big game in the 34-13 win at Northwestern, recording four tackles and a sack, as the Lions held the Wildcats to less than half their season scoring average. In the 42-14 win at Michigan State, Ogbu made two tackles, including one for a loss. He helped the Nittany Lions hold the Spartans 17 points below their season average and to just 94 yards rushing. Ogbu recorded two tackles and forced a fumble in the big win over LSU in the Capital One Bowl. Ogbu saw action on 423 snaps in 2009, led by 43 against Iowa. He is one of eight Nittany Lions from New York, five of whom are from metropolitan New York City.

Chima Okoli made good progress last season in his efforts to earn more playing time. Okoli played in seven games at defensive tackle, recording a tackle in the season-opener against Akron. The coaching staff may take a look at Okoli on the offensive line during spring practice. He is one of six Nittany Lions from Virginia. The 2009 campaign was a tale of three varying segments for DeOn’tae Pannell, all encompassed within the 12 weeks of the regular-season. Heading into the season, Penn State needed to fill three holes on the offensive line left by three graduated All-Big Ten starters. After a strong spring practice, Pannell found himself atop the depth chart at left tackle. But, in August, the talented and strong sophomore flipped tackle spots with Dennis Landolt and started the initial four games at right tackle. During the Illinois game, the former Wylie E. Groves High School standout sprained an ankle, though, forcing him to the sideline. Pannell missed the next two games and returned to the field to help Penn State win at Michigan and Northwestern. During the Ohio State game, left guard Johnnie Troutman suffered a leg injury. The following week, Pannell was shifted to left guard, where he started the final two regular-season contests, helping the Lions score a combined 73 points in victories over Indiana

A.J. PRICE 6-4, 177 Jr./So. Wide Receiver Reston, Va.

and Michigan State. In the 42-14 win over the Spartans, he helped set the tone for one of Penn State’s most dominating offensive efforts of the season. The Nittany Lions amassed 512 yards, their fourth game of 500 or more yards last season, and had a season-high 10 plays of 20 yards or more from scrimmage, with four going for touchdowns. The highly-skilled and versatile Pannell is an instrumental member of an offensive line that helped Penn State average 4.7 yards per carry and 406.9 yards per game, second-best in the Big Ten. Pannell’s development helped to stabilize and improve

the line of an offense that ranked No. 5 in the conference in scoring (28.8 ppg) and was the only Big Ten team ranked in the top five of the conference’s four primary offensive statistical categories: total, scoring, rushing (169.8 ypg) and passing offense (237.2 ypg). Behind the protection of Pannell and his linemates, quarterback Daryll Clark finished No. 2 in the Big Ten in passing efficiency and threw a school-record 24 touchdown passes. Penn State finished third in the Big Ten in fewest sacks allowed. Pannell saw action on 402 snaps last year, led by 77 against Indiana. He and Troutman may vie for the starting assignment at left guard during spring practice and into preseason. Pannell has a great work-ethic and attitude and should have an opportunity to play a significant role for the offense the next two seasons. He is one of three Nittany Lions from Michigan. As Daryll Clark sold the hand-off to Evan Royster to the Iowa defense, Chaz Powell was flying downfield and past a Hawkeye defender. As Powell crossed midfield, he looked up into the Beaver Stadium lights, saw the pigskin hurtling toward him through the rain, gained separation and caught the ball in stride near the 35-yard line, racing into the end zone as the Whitehouse crowd of 109,316 erupted. The 79-yard scoring strike on the Nittany Lions’ first play from scrimmage was the longest catch of Powell’s career, Clark’s longest career completion and Penn State’s longest play from scrimmage in 2009. The play also was tied for the eighth-longest completion in school history and highlighted the athleticism and skills Powell brings to the offense and special teams. Playing in 12 games last year, with nine starts, he finished fourth on the squad with 28 receptions for 366 yards (13.1) and three touchdowns. Powell was ninth in the Big Ten in kickoff returns with a 23.2 average, with a long of 54 yards. He was on the field for 395 snaps last year, led by 53 against the Hawkeyes. Powell made a team and career-high seven receptions for 65 yards in the season-opening win over Akron, including an eight-yard touchdown reception from Clark. Powell made his first career start against Syracuse and led the team with four catches for 40 yards against Temple. In the primetime meeting with Iowa, Powell made three receptions for a career-high 96 yards, including the 79yard touchdown. Powell led the Lions with four catches for 79 yards in the Eastern Illinois game, including a leaping 51-yard catch. He added a 19-yard run on a reverse. Powell kept a drive alive at Michigan when he picked up 11 yards on a reverse play on third down. He delivered a big play when he returned the opening kickoff of the second half 54 yards, the Lions’ longest kickoff return of 2009. The return set up a touchdown in the 35-10 win. Powell made five receptions for 39 yards in the 34-13 win at Northwestern. He had a six-yard run on the second play of the Indiana game, but left with a shoulder injury. He did not play in the win at Michigan State due to the shoulder injury. Powell returned to the starting lineup in the Capital One Bowl win over LSU, where he hauled in one reception for 11 yards. Powell is a gifted player who with continued hard work should continue to take on a larger role with the offense and special teams the next two seasons.

A.J. Price has provided depth for the wide receiving corps, but is anxious for the opportunity to gain more time on the field in 2010. He played in six games last season, including the Big Ten road wins against Illinois and Michigan State, but did not have any catches. The former South Lakes High School standout has good speed and athleticism and, with continued hard work, should have an opportunity to earn more time in the wideout rotation. He is one of six Nittany Lions from Virginia. Evan Royster has distinguished himself amongst all the superlative running backs that have worn the blue and white. His 22-yard burst on his first carry in the 2009 win at Michigan State pushed him past the 1,000-yard mark for the second consecutive year, becoming just the seventh Nittany Lion to record multiple 1,000-yard campaigns. The vastly talented and intelligent Royster has joined a great fraternity. Curt Warner, Tony Hunt, Blair Thomas, Curtis Enis, Ki-Jana Carter and Heisman Trophy winner John Cappelletti are the only other Lions to accomplish the feat. The quick and elusive Royster already has passed some of the Penn State greats in career rushing, entering the season in eighth place with 2,918 yards. All-Americans Lydell Mitchell (2,934) and Larry Johnson (2,953) are next on the list. An All-America and Doak Walker Award candidate, Royster stands 481 yards away from breaking Warner’s school career record of 3,398 rushing yards. Penn State began the 2009 season with three new offensive linemen and four different starting O-Line units in the first six games, but the former Westfield High School standout built on his successful 2008 campaign by eclipsing the 100-yard mark in six games, giving him 12 career century-busting performances. It should come as no surprise that when Royster and the Lions find success on the ground the team benefits, as Penn State is 12-0 when he cracks the century mark. Royster was selected 2009 firstteam All-Big Ten by the coaches and media after receiving second-team accolades in 2008. He was ranked No. 2 in the Big Ten in rushing at 89.9 ypg and his 5.7 per carry average was first among all conference players with at least 110 carries. The instinctive and strong Royster also was fifth in the Big Ten in all-purpose yards (104.9 ypg). He gained 1,169 yards on 205 carries in 2009, with six touchdowns. He also had 16 receptions for 187 yards (11.7) and two scores and tallied a team-high 1,364 all-purpose yards. Royster made a career-long 49-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter of the 28-7 win over Syracuse. His 61 receiving yards for the game also were a career-high. Royster carried the ball 19 times for 134 yards in the win over Temple. He gave Penn State a 14-3 lead in the second quarter with a seven-yard touchdown run and gained 119 yards on just 15 carries in the first half, including a 33yard burst. Royster gained 69 yards against Iowa, becoming the 17th Nittany Lion to eclipse 2,000 career rushing yards. He had 105 yards and scored a touchdown in the win at Illinois. Royster and Stephfon Green (120 yards)

DEVON SMITH 5-7, 153 So./So. Wide Receiver White Plains, Md.

became the first tandem of Nittany Lion running backs to eclipse 100 yards in a Big Ten game. Royster ran for 94 yards on just eight carries (11.8 avg.), all in the first half, in Penn State’s 52-3 victory over Eastern Illinois. He delivered a season-high 137 yards on 23 carries against Minnesota and had a 20-carry, 100-yard rushing performance in the 35-10 win at Michigan. Royster had a 41-yard dash on the Lions’ first drive to set up a touchdown. Royster gained 118 yards on 15 carries in the 34-13 win at Northwestern. He sprinted for a 69-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter, the longest run of his career and the team’s longest run of the 2009 season. Royster moved into 10th place in the Penn State record books against Ohio State. He tallied 134 all-purpose yards against Indiana (95 rushing, 39 receiving) in the 31-20 Senior Day victory. He notched one touchdown rushing and a 13-yard receiving touchdown. Royster surpassed the 100-yard mark for the sixth time in 2009 by gaining 114 yards in the 42-14 win at Michigan State. He eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for the second consecutive season on a 22-yard run on Penn State’s opening drive. He also had a 30-yard burst, averaging 8.8 yards on his 13 carries against the Spartans. Royster cracked the century mark for the 12th time in his career and the Lions remained unbeaten in such contests. He came up big in the victory over LSU in the Capital One Bowl as he ran for 65 yards on 17 carries in challenging conditions. Royster was on the field for 593 plays last year, led by 64 in the win over Minnesota. Royster is on schedule to receive his degree in management information systems in May. He is one of six Nittany Lions from Virginia.

Smith suffered a mild concussion against Iowa and did not travel for the Illinois game. He returned to the field the following week to deliver a season-long 18-yard scamper against Eastern Illinois. He was on the field for 100 snaps last year, led by 17 against Temple. Smith was a Maryland state champion in the 100 and 200 meters and earned wide receiver MVP honors at a 2007 Nike camp. Possessing great quickness, athleticism and instincts, Smith has the ability to influence the opposing defense with, or without, the ball in his hands. The multi-talented player will need to continue to work hard and improve in his bid to play a more significant role with the offense and special teams in 2010. Smith is one of 10 Nittany Lions from Maryland.

Devon Smith stepped onto the practice field for the first time last August looking to make an immediate impact with the Penn State receiving corps. It didn’t take long for him to put his tremendous speed on display. Having exhibited sub-4.3 40-yard speed, among the fastest 40 times in program history, Smith earned immediate playing time as a true freshman, making his debut in the season-opener with Akron. The former Westlake High School standout tallied two receptions for 25 yards, had two kick returns for 43 yards and one rush for seven yards in an impressive collegiate debut. Smith appeared in 11 games last season, making four catches for 30 yards, rushing for 33 yards on just four carries (8.2 avg.) and gaining 91 yards on five kickoff returns.

In his first season on the field, Matt Stankiewitch made good progress and provided depth for the offensive line during the 2009 campaign. The starting left guard against Akron and Syracuse, Stankiewitch played in every game last season on offense and special teams. He helped Penn State gain 515 yards, its second-highest total of the season, in the 31-7 win over the Zips. Stankiewitch saw action on 205 snaps in 2009, led by 59 against Akron. The former Blue Mountain High School standout has good skills and size. With the graduation of O-Line starters Dennis Landolt and Ako Poti,

The Nittany Lions entered the 2009 season lacking in experience at defensive end and the coaching staff quickly turned to true freshman Sean Stanley to help provide depth and the ability to make big plays. The talented and athletic Stanley made his debut in the opener with Akron and played in 12 games, making 11 tackles, including 2.5 for a loss, with one forced fumble and a pass breakup. The former Gaithersburg High School standout had two sacks for minus-15 yards, dropping the quarterback in the wins over Illinois and Indiana. Stanley also forced Juice Williams to fumble on a sack and Jack Crawford recovered at the Illini 14-yard line in the Lions’ win in Champaign. Stanley’s season-high tackle total of two came in his first career game, against Akron, 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. Stanley earned Washington Post All-Met accolades after making 78 tackles as a senior, including 24 minus-yardage plays. He recorded 12 sacks and forced five fumbles. Stanley has a bright future for a defensive end unit that lost the services of Jerome Hayes. He is one of 10 Nittany Lions from Maryland.

It has been a long and challenging road for defensive tackle Devon Still, but last year he emerged as one of the squad’s most improved players during his first full season on the field. Having suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee as a true freshman in 2007, Still’s hard work in his rehabilitation seemingly went for naught when he suffered a broken ankle during 2008 preseason camp. Still battled back to play in the 2008 season-finale with Michigan State and after remaining healthy through the 2009 spring practice and preseason, became a valuable contributor for the DLine. Playing in every game last year, the talented and hard-charging Still made 19 stops, including 5.5 tackles for minus-15 yards. Still recorded two sacks, including dropping Tate Forcier for a 10-yard loss in the Nittany Lions’ 35-10 win at Michigan. He recorded a minusyardage play in five of the final six contests. Still made a career-high three tackles each against Syracuse and Ohio State and had two stops in six other games. He recorded two tackles in the Capital One Bowl, including one for negative yardage. Still was on the field for 348 plays last year, led by 45 in the win over Indiana. With the graduation of All-American Jared Odrick, Still should be a primary contender for a starting assignment in 2010. He is among five Nittany Lions from Delaware.

The breadth of talent at “Linebacker U.” never was more evident than at the beginning of the 2009 season, when both of Penn State’s returning All-Big Ten linebackers suffered injuries that kept them off the field for multiple games. The initial injury was suffered by Navorro Bowman in the first quarter of the season-opener with Akron. Nate Stupar got the call and responded with the top performance of his career to maintain the productivity of one of the nation’s premier linebacker units. The talented and instinctive Stupar recorded a career-high 12 tackles (eight solo), including a sack, in the win over the Zips to launch a season that saw him play in every game on defense and special teams. The former State College Area High School standout made 31 tackles, the secondhighest total among defensive reserves. He also had 1.5 tackles for loss and one interception. Stupar was on the field for 324 plays last year, led by 65 against Akron. Stupar earned his first career start against Syracuse and made five tackles. He also collected his first career interception, returning it 17 yards to the Orange two to set up a touchdown. The hard-hitting and athletic Stupar started against Temple and again recorded five tackles, helping hold the Owls to two field goals. He suffered a slight ankle sprain that limited his time the following week against Iowa. In the road win at Illinois, he made three hits and he had two stops each against Ohio State and Indiana. Stupar is one of the squad’s top students, bringing a 3.60 grade-point average into the spring semester, having earned a 3.85 GPA last fall. He received Academic AllBig Ten honors in 2009 and should be a strong candidate for ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America® accolades. As a State College native and a member of one of the prominent families in program history, Stupar has an appreciation and understanding of Penn State football to a higher degree than most of his teammates. With the graduation of all three starting linebackers from last year, Stupar should be among the primary candidates to play a significant role for the defense and special teams the next two years.

SHAINE THOMPSON 6-0, 211 Sr./Jr. Running Back Bronx, N.Y.

The Nittany Lions opened the first and last game of the 2009 regular-season with a pair of running backs in the starting lineup — tailback Evan Royster and fullback Joe Suhey. It certainly was appropriate for Suhey to get the opening nod to bookend what was a highly productive season. Playing in every game in 2009, he has demonstrated the ability to contribute as a rusher, receiver and blocker. The athletic and sure-handed Suhey finished seventh on the team with 254 all-purpose yards. He was fifth on the squad with 21 receptions for 186 yards and one touchdown and gained 68 rushing yards on 22 carries. Suhey played on 361 snaps last season, led by 44 in the big win over LSU in the Capital One Bowl. The former Loyola Academy standout finished the regular-season with a strong performance. He made three catches for 40 yards in the win at Michigan State, including a leaping 30-yard catch-and-run down the far sideline for his first career receiving touchdown. The reception was a career-long and gave Penn State a 21-7 lead in the eventual 42-14 victory. The tough and assertive Suhey also gained 16 yards on just three carries against the Spartans. In his first career start, he made a career-best four catches for 40 yards in the win over Akron. He tied his high with four receptions for 32 yards in the Senior Day victory over Indiana and had a 15-yard catch in the win at Illinois. A quick and strong runner, Suhey was highly effective in the 35-10 win at Michigan, gaining 18 yards on just three carries. He joins the offensive line and tight ends in receiving much of the credit for the effectiveness of the Nittany Lions’ prolific rushing and passing attacks, helping Penn State to finish second in the Big Ten in total offense. Suhey is a fourth-generation Nittany Lion hailing from arguably the first family of Penn State foot-

ball. His father, Matt, was a standout running back at Penn State from 1976-79 before starting a highly-successful career with the Chicago Bears. His great-grandfather, Bob Higgins, was Penn State’s second AllAmerican, earning honors in 1915 and ’19. The younger Suhey made excellent strides last season and should continue to play a prominent role for the offense the next two seasons.

Nick Sukay put two years of battling injuries behind him to grab ahold of a starting assignment at safety during the 2009 preseason and demonstrate great work-ethic and progress to start every game. The hard-hitting and instinctive Sukay made 41 tackles, tied for fifth-highest on the squad, and grabbed two interceptions. The former Greensburg Central Catholic High School standout was third in the Big Ten with 13 passes defended, having broken up a teamhigh 11 passes, good for No. 2 in the conference. He also had two fumble recoveries and played an instrumental role for the Nittany Lions’ Top 10 defense. Sukay was on the field for 882 snaps last year, the fourth-highest total on the team, led by 86 against Indiana. A swift and strong athlete, Sukay made a career-high nine tackles against Iowa and followed with seven solo stops in the win at Illinois. He made his first career interception against the Hawkeyes and returned his second one 34 yards at Michigan State during Penn State’s 28-point third-quarter outburst. Sukay also made four hits each in the wins over Syracuse, Eastern Illinois and Northwestern. In the victory at Michigan, Sukay pounced on a fumble at the Wolverines’ 22-yard line. Two plays later, Daryll Clark threw a scoring strike to Graham Zug, giving Penn State a 32-10 lead in the third quarter. Sukay broke up three passes and recovered a fumble on the final play of the

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

With talent and depth at the running back position on the Nittany Lion roster, carries were hard to come by for Shaine Thompson in 2009. But, the hard-working Thompson emerged as a strong contributor on special teams, playing in the last 12 games. Penn State’s 42-14 victory at Michigan State in the regular-season finale afforded 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 one carry for four yards in a 52-3 victory over Eastern Illinois. Thompson saw action on 64 snaps in 2009. Thompson is one of three Nittany Lions from John F. Kennedy High School in the Bronx, joining Stephfon Green and Stephen Obeng-Agyapong. The Nittany Lions entered the 2009 season needing to replace three All-Big Ten starters on the offensive line. The first six games of the season saw Penn State use four different lineups, due to injuries and seeking the best combination. One of the changes saw redshirt sophomore Johnnie Troutman move into the starting left guard spot and he helped improve and stabilize the unit as the season progressed. The former all-state selection at Pemberton High School started eight consecutive games before suffering a strained calf against Ohio State. He missed the Indiana game, but returned to help the Lions post a 42-14 win at Michigan State. Troutman played on 619 snaps last season, led by 86 in the win over Minnesota. He was an instrumental member of an offense ranked No. 2 in the Big Ten at 406.9 ypg. Penn State was third in the Big Ten in fewest sacks allowed. Possessing great physical attributes and skills, he and his linemates helped quarterback Daryll Clark rank No. 2 in the Big Ten in passing efficiency and deliver a school season-record 24 touchdown passes. The unit also has been instrumental in Evan Royster becoming the seventh Nittany Lion alltime to gain 1,000 yards in multiple seasons. In the win at

MICHAEL YANCICH 6-2, 223 Jr./So. Linebacker Washington, Pa.

Illinois, Penn State rolled up 338 rushing yards, getting 100-yard games from Stephfon Green (120) and Royster (105) and 83 yards from Clark. In the 52-3 pounding of Eastern Illinois, Penn State displayed dominating balance, racking up 268 yards passing and 285 yards rushing en route to a season-best yardage total of 553. The Minnesota victory capped a three-week stretch in which Troutman and the offensive line did not allow a sack. In the 34-13 win at Northwestern, its fifth straight, the Penn State offense gained 301 yards in the second half and 437 for the game, averaging 7.5

Troutman made good progress last season and should have an opportunity to be a significant contributor for the offense the next two seasons. He is one of 10 Nittany Lions from New Jersey.

Collin Wagner joined a long line of Penn State placekickers from Central Pennsylvania when he stepped onto the field as the starter in the 2009 season-opener against Akron. In his first season as the starter, the strong-legged Wagner finished No. 5 in the Big Ten in overall scoring with a teamhigh 91 points. He connected on 15-of-22 field goal attempts, with a long of 47 yards in the 20-0 win over Minnesota. The State College Area High School product converted all 46 of his PAT attempts, one of just three Big Ten kickers to connect on 100 percent of their PATs. Wagner was 10-for-11 on field goal attempts between 20 and 29 yards and hit four tries beyond 30 yards. He averaged 62.8 yards per kickoff, including 10 touchbacks last season. Wagner had a four-game stretch spanning the Eastern Illinois to Northwestern games where he made 7-of-8 field goal attempts, including a 2-for2 performance in the victory at Michigan and 2-for-2 in the win at Northwestern, on a breezy day near Lake Michigan. He had the biggest game of his career in the 19-17 Capital One Bowl win over LSU, connecting on all four field goal attempts, including the 21-yard game-winner with 57 seconds remaining. He was named to ESPN.com’s Big Ten AllBowl team for his efforts against the Tigers, as he tied the school record for field goals in a bowl game. Wagner saw significant experience last year and should continue to improve his skills and productivity for the 2010 campaign.

Standout linemen Bruce Clark and Marco Rivera give the number great lineage and last season linebacker Jamie Van Fleet made fans take notice of No. 54 again. The determined and hard-working Van Fleet caught the eye of Penn State and college football fans when he made three solo tackles on his nine special teams plays in the 34-13 win at Northwestern. A walk-on from Loyalsock High School, Van Fleet was a strong and steady contributor in the kicking game last season and he continues to work hard to play a larger role for the defense and special teams in 2010. 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 campaign, led by 14 against Temple.

JOE PATERNO

A career marked with distinction, glorious accomplishments and immeasurable contributions to The Pennsylvania State University, added another compelling chapter during the 2009 campaign. Joe Paterno banded together a Penn State squad of highlymotivated and dedicated student-athletes and coaches into a squad that amassed 51 victories over the past five seasons, maintaining residence among the nation’s most successful programs. A team possessing outstanding work-ethic, commitment and senior leadership produced the Nittany Lions’ fourth bowl victory in the past five seasons with a hard-fought, thrilling, last-minute win over LSU in the Capital One Bowl. The 2009 squad won 11 games, giving the Nittany Lions back-to-back 11-win seasons for the first time since 1985 and ’86, when Penn State played in consecutive National Championship games. Paterno’s 21st season with double-figure victories and 23rd team to finish in the Top 10 added to the litany of coaching records he owns. Penn State’s 11-2 mark in 2009 improved its five-year record to 51-13, with its 79.7 winning percentage tied for No. 7 in the nation over that span. The Nittany Lions earned their third Top 10 finish in the past five seasons and won at least 11 games for the 15th time under the Hall of Fame coach. Paterno also could be proud of the academic accomplishments of his 2009 squad. For the second consecutive year, Penn State led all Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) teams in first-team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-Americans®. Three Nittany Lions received first-team honors, giving Penn State eight Academic All-America® selections in the past two years. And Penn State’s 89 percent graduation rate and 85 percent Graduation Success Rate were tops among all teams in the Associated Press final 2009 Top 25 poll. Paterno has passionately served the Penn State football program and the university with principle, distinction and success with honor since matriculating to State College in 1950. After 16 years as an assistant coach, he was rewarded in 1966 with the head coaching responsibilities upon the retirement of Rip Engle, his college coach at Brown who appointed him to the Penn State staff in 1950 as a brash 23-year-old.

He is older now, and wiser, but no less enthusiastic and no less dynamic. He is, simply put, the most successful coach in the history of college football — a fact that was validated during the 2001 season when he moved past Paul “Bear” Bryant to become the leader in career wins by a major college coach. He also is one of the most admired figures in college athletics, an acknowledged icon whose influence extends well beyond the white chalk lines of the football field. In his 45th year pacing the sidelines as head coach of the Nittany Lions, Paterno has faced every situation imaginable on the gridiron and has used his preparation, experience and understanding of the game he loves to respond and keep the Penn State program among the nation’s elite for the past four decades. Paterno has posted a 394-129-3 mark in 44 seasons as head coach and is the leader in career wins among major college coaches (third all-time). He passed his long-time friend and colleague, Bobby Bowden, on Sept. 20, 2008. Paterno’s winning percentage of 75.2 is second-best among active Football Bowl Subdivision coaches (10 or more years) and he is second all-time in games coached (526) among major college coaches. Paterno also is the all-time leader among coaches in bowl appearances (36) and post-season triumphs (24). His overall post-season record of 24-11-1 gives him a winning percentage of 68.1, good for No. 1 all-time among coaches with at least 15 bowl visits. The Nittany Lions are 17-7 in New Year’s Day games under Paterno and 12-5 in contests that comprise the Bowl Championship Series. Penn State is one of just seven teams with 800 wins all-time and Paterno has been a member of the Nittany Lion staff for 498 of them — 61 percent of the 811 all-time total. Penn State owns a record of 498-177-7 (73.5) since Paterno joined the staff in 1950, the nation’s third-highest winning percentage. He has missed just three games of a possible 682 Penn State contests over 60 seasons. Since Paterno began leading the program in 1966, Penn

State has had 77 first-team All-Americans, with Big Ten Defensive Player-of-the-Year Jared Odrick earning the distinction in 2009. Linebacker Navorro Bowman, tackle Dennis Landolt and center Stefen Wisniewski also received All-America recognition and were joined by Odrick, quarterback Daryll Clark and tailback Evan Royster as 2009 first-team All-Big Ten honorees. During Paterno’s remarkable tenure, the Nittany Lions have counted 15 Hall of Fame Scholar-Athletes, 34 first-team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-Americans® (44 overall) and 18 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners. Penn State has had at least one Academic All-American® in each of the past eight years, with 10 first-team honorees during the last four years. Linebacker Josh Hull and kick snapper Andrew Pitz became the seventh and eighth Nittany Lions to twice be selected a firstteam Academic All-American® with their 2008 and ’09 recognitions. Winner of the 2005 Butkus and Bednarik awards, AllAmerica linebacker Paul Posluszny was selected the 2006 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American®-of-the-Year in Division I football. Paterno’s coaching portfolio includes two National Championships (1982, 1986); five undefeated, untied teams; 23 finishes in the Top 10 of the national rankings; an unprecedented five AFCA Coach-of-the-Year plaques, and more than 350 former players who have signed National Football League contracts, 31 of them first-round draft choices. A school-record four Nittany Lions were selected in the first round of the 2003 NFL Draft, tackle Levi Brown was the No. 5 overall selection in the 2007 NFL Draft and defensive end Aaron Maybin was the No. 11 overall choice in 2009. His teams have registered seven undefeated regular-seasons and he has had 35 teams finish in the Top 25. Penn State has won the Lambert-Meadowlands Trophy, emblematic of Eastern football supremacy, 24 times in Paterno’s coaching run, including in 2008 and ‘09. Since 1966, there have been 860 head coaching changes among Football Bowl Subdivision programs, an average of more than six changes per FBS institution! (Includes 22 changes after the 2009 season). Paterno is the only coach to win the four traditional New Year’s Day bowl games — the Rose, Sugar, Cotton and Orange bowls — and he owns a 6-0 record in the Fiesta Bowl. He was selected by the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame as the first active coach to receive its Distinguished

American Award. Paterno also was the 1986 Sports Illustrated Sportsman-of-the-Year. A member of the Penn State coaching staff spanning the administrations of 13 U.S. presidents (starting with Harry Truman), Paterno passed Bryant on October 27, 2001, when the Nittany Lions secured his 324th victory by rallying from a 27-9 deficit to defeat Ohio State, 29-27, in the greatest Beaver Stadium comeback under the legendary coach. Obviously not a person of misplaced priorities, Paterno always has concentrated on seeing that his student-athletes attend class, devote the proper time to studies and graduate with a meaningful degree. He often has said he measures team success not by athletic prowess but by the number of productive citizens who make a contribution to society. The 2009 NCAA Graduation Rates Report for Division I institutions revealed that the Penn State football program compiled an 89 percent graduation rate among freshmen entering in 2002-03, which was No. 1 among teams ranked in the final 2009 Associated Press poll. Penn State’s figure was an astounding 34 points above the 55 percent FBS average. The NCAA data also showed that Penn State posted a program-record 85 percent Graduation Success Rate, also the highest among 2009 AP Top 25 teams. The national average among FBS teams was 67 percent.

Paterno is not fond of looking back, but it has been a memorable period for the legendary mentor, who has been a member of the Penn State staff for 682 games. In March 2010, the Maxwell Football Club announced it was renaming its top college coaching honor the Joseph V. Paterno College Coach-of-the-Year Award. “The Maxwell Football Club is privileged to honor the legacy of Coach Paterno, his values and his successes on and off the field,” said Executive Director Mark Wolpert. Paterno and the 2008 Nittany Lions displayed resiliency and toughness to capture the Big Ten Championship and the program’s second Bowl Championship Series berth in four years. Trailing rival Ohio State in the fourth quarter in a late October night game, the visiting Nittany Lions made a momentum-swinging play and went on to score the game’s final 10 points to post a hard-fought victory en route to their third Big Ten crown. Paterno also was resilient, as he fought through a hip injury that occurred two days before the 2008 season-opener, displaying 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 the Nittany Lions during their preparations for the Rose Bowl meeting with Southern California.

Paterno was selected the 2008 Big Ten Dave McClain Coach-of-the-Year, winning the honor for the third time, second only to Bo Schembechler’s four selections in the award’s history. He also was a finalist for three national Coach-of-the-Year honors: the Eddie Robinson Award (FWAA), Liberty Mutual and George Munger (Maxwell Football Club). Penn State compiled an 11-2 mark in 2008, finishing No. 8 in the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches polls. A schoolrecord 10 Nittany Lions were selected first-team All-Big Ten, more than double the second-highest total, and a record 14 players earned first or second-team all-conference accolades. Four Nittany Lions received All-America honors and A.Q. Shipley became Penn State’s first recipient of the Rimington Trophy, presented to the nation’s outstanding center. It was a record-breaking year for academic accomplishments as well. A program-record five players were named to the 2008 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America® team, with four on the first-team. The four first-team selections led the nation. A program-record 55 Nittany Lions earned at least a 3.0 grade-point average during the Fall 2008 semester. Among the 55 football student-athletes, a record 19 garnered Dean’s List recognition by posting a 3.5 GPA or higher. In December 2008, Paterno agreed to an extension through the 2011 season. In 2007, Paterno was inducted into the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame. The five-time National Coach-of-the-Year was selected for induction in 2006, and was set to join two more legendary coaches — Bobby Bowden and John Gagliardi — as the first active coaches or players 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 a November 2006 game at Wisconsin prevented him from traveling to the event. “I have mixed feelings because there were so many people that are not with me anymore who made it possible for me,” stated Paterno during the December 4, 2007 induction ceremony. “How good has it been? What we share in football; there’s never been a greater game. We’ve been involved in the greatest game, the greatest experience anybody could hope for. Great teammates. Guys you could trust. Guys you loved. Guys you would go to war with tomorrow. We’re so lucky…we’re so lucky. If we lose what we have in football, we’ll lose an awful lot in this country, and we’ve got to remember that.” Paterno and Bowden, who rank No. 1-2 in victories among major college coaches, received the prestigious Gold Medal, the National Football Foundation’s highest honor, at the 2006 Hall of Fame Dinner via a video presentation. The 2007 season saw Paterno reach two more significant milestones and one tremendous honor. He eclipsed another college football legend, Amos Alonzo Stagg, for longevity at one institution among major college coaches. Stagg was a head coach for 57 years, including 41 at the University of Chicago. In December 2007, Patrick and Candace Malloy honored Paterno’s contributions to the University by committing $5 million to create the Malloy Paterno Head Football Coach Endowment at Penn State.

“All of Penn State has benefited from Joe’s commitment to success with honor,” said Patrick Malloy, a 1965 alumnus of the University. “He is so much more than a coach — he’s an educator. 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 a better place through integrity, honesty, and excellence. We are also fortunate enough to know Sue Paterno, and we have the deepest admiration for her volunteer and philanthropic leadership at Penn State and beyond.” The Nittany Lions capped 2007 by defeating Texas A&M in the Valero Alamo Bowl in Paterno’s 500th game as head coach. Penn State made another January bowl appearance under Paterno in 2006 and defeated Tennessee, 20-10, in the Outback Bowl. It came as no surprise that less than two weeks after undergoing surgery on his left leg in November 2006, Paterno was back in Beaver Stadium, observing his team from the coaches’ booth for the regular-season finale against Michigan State. The 2005 Nittany Lions are a squad the legendary coach also will remember fondly. The players and coaches passionately toiled every day to return Penn State to the national championship picture. The Nittany Lions compiled an 11-1 record, captured the Big Ten Championship and a thrilling triple-overtime decision over Bowden’s Florida State squad in the FedEx Orange Bowl. The 11-win season represented another milestone, as Penn State recorded at least 10 victories under Paterno in a fifth decade and for the 19th time overall. The Nittany Lions were No. 3 in the polls, garnering their 13th Top 5 finish under the veteran coach. For his leadership in restoring the Nittany Lions to the nation’s elite, Paterno was recognized with numerous National Coach-of-the-Year honors in 2005, capped by an unprecedented fifth selection by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). He also received national honors from the Associated Press, Bobby Dodd, Home Depot/ESPN, Maxwell Football Club (George Munger), Pigskin Club of Washington, D.C., The Sporting News and the Walter Camp Football Foundation. Joe Paterno simply is an unusual football coach...and an unusual person. In an exceptional display of generosity and affection for Penn State, Paterno; his wife, Sue, and their five children announced 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 for Development Rod Kirsch said, “the most generous ever made by a collegiate coach and his family to a university.” The Paterno gift endows faculty positions and scholarships in the College of the Liberal Arts, the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, the University Libraries and supported two building projects — a new interfaith spiritual center and the Penn State All-Sports Museum, both on the University Park campus. The museum opened in 2002 and the spiritual center was dedicated in 2003. “Penn State has been very good to both Sue and me,” Paterno said. “We have met some wonderful people here, we’ve known many students who have gone on to become outstanding leaders in their professions and in society, and all of our children have received a first-class education here. I’ve never felt better about Penn State and its future potential than I do right now. Sue and I want to do all we can to help the University reach that potential.” He and Sue have been actively involved with the Special Olympics Pennsylvania Summer Games, held each June on the University Park campus. In 2008, the Paternos were inducted into the Special Olympics Pennsylvania Hall of Fame. The Paternos announced a $1 million pledge in 2009 for the Mount Nittany Medical Center. Their gift is part of the most ambi-

tious fund-raising effort in the Medical Center’s history and will help support a three-floor, 42,000-square-foot expansion of Centre County’s primary health facility. Also in 2009, the Paternos were honored by the CharcotMarie-Tooth Association for a lifetime of achievement. Coach Paterno is a national spokesperson for CMTA. In February 2010, a pair of Paterno’s glasses made national headlines, as a Penn State couple bid $9,000 to purchase the donated, autographed specs, with the proceeds benefiting Penn State Public Broadcasting. In 2006, Paterno was bestowed a trio of diverse honors in addition to the Hall of Fame announcement and Gold Medal presentation. He was named a Free Spirit honoree and recognized by The Freedom Forum at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. In April, Paterno received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Dapper Dan Charities in Pittsburgh and received the History Makers Award, presented by the Senator John Heinz Pittsburgh Regional History Center. Paterno was recognized twice for his illustrious career in 2004. He was selected the second-best college football coach of all-time by a panel of more than 300 media, current and former football coaches, Heisman Trophy winners and members of the College Football Hall of Fame. Paterno also was chosen the nation’s best college football coach of the past 25 years by an ESPN25 expert panel. He finished No. 8 overall in the listing of college and professional coaches from all sports over the past 25 years at that time. The American Football Coaches Association presented Paterno with its highest honor in 2002, the Amos Alonzo Stagg Award. The award honors those “whose services have been outstanding in the advancement of the best interests of football.” In 1998, he was the initial winner of the Eddie Robinson Coach-of-the-Year Award, which recognizes an active college coach who is a role model to students and players, an active member 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 to athletic prowess — has won almost universal endorsement from the “products of the system.” “He’s putting together this winning program, but meanwhile he’s teaching 17-, 18-, 19-year olds how not to screw their lives up, how important education is, how important it is to have social acumen,” All-America linebacker Greg Buttle told the San Antonio Express-News in 2007. “Forget what he’s done for players. He’s done more for a single university than anyone else. It transcends his coaching. No. 1 to him is what he’s done for Penn State University, No. 2 is what he has done for players.” “...I can tell you that virtually all of the players he’s touched in 50 years as an assistant and head coach have been enriched by the experience,” former quarterback Todd Blackledge said in the forward to Quotable Joe, a book of quotations by and about Paterno. “I consider myself, and I know my teammates and Penn State players past and present feel likewise, a better person for having played for Joe Paterno.” LaVar Arrington, one of the 31 NFL first-round draft choices to come through Paterno’s Penn State program, was a two-time All-America selection and won the 1999 Butkus Award as the nation’s top linebacker as well as the Maxwell Club’s Chuck Bednarik Award, presented to the top collegiate defensive player. “If you’re not a man when you get there, you’ll be a man before you leave,” Arrington said of his Penn State experience. “Joe has his system so that you’re prepared for life. Joe trains you more mentally than physically so that nothing will rattle you.” Joe and Sue Paterno have five children, all of whom are Penn State graduates, and 17 grandchildren.

Defensive Line

In his 33rd year on the staff, Dick Anderson is in his 11th season working with the centers and guards. In 2009, he played an instrumental role in the development of center Stefen Wisniewski and tackle Dennis Landolt into firstteam All-Big Ten performers and third-team All-Americans. In 2008, under his tutelage, center A.Q. Shipley became the program’s first Rimington Trophy recipient. Anderson has helped mold units that have paved the way for six 1,000yard rushers since 2002, led by Larry Johnson becoming just the ninth 2,000-yard rusher in NCAA history in ‘02. He coached the quarterbacks from 1993-99, with his initial two pupils — Kerry Collins and Wally Richardson — matriculating to the NFL, with Collins leading the New York Giants to Super Bowl XXXV. Anderson returned to Penn State in 1990 after six seasons as head coach at Rutgers, working with the offensive line from 1990-92. He turned out some exceptional performers during his 1973-83 stint on the Penn State staff, including Pro Football Hall of Famer Mike Munchak. From Queens, N.Y., Anderson played both ways at end for Coach Rip Engle at Penn State from 1960-62. Anderson’s tenure at Rutgers included a 21-16 win over Penn State in 1988, the Scarlet Knights’ first win in the series in 70 years.

A member of the Penn State staff since 2003, Kermit Buggs is in his third year as the Nittany Lions’ safeties coach. During the 2009 season, he successfully guided a young safety corps, which intercepted four passes. Starting safeties Drew Astorino and Nick Sukay will return for their junior seasons. In 2008, Buggs helped Anthony Scirrotto earn first-team All-Big Ten accolades. Buggs was selected for the position in December 2007 and coached the safeties in Penn State’s 2007 Valero Alamo Bowl win over Texas A&M. He served as Coordinator of Player Personnel during the 2006 and ’07 seasons and from 2003-05, he was a graduate assistant coach with the Nittany Lions. Buggs previously was a successful high school coach, leading Surry County (Va.) High School to a 34-14 record from 19992002. His 1999 squad was 14-0 and won the Division I state championship and Buggs was named the state’s Division I Coach-of-the-Year. A product of Hampton, Va., Buggs is a 1995 graduate of Norfolk State University, where he played football. He was selected the team’s Freshman-of-the-Year and received player of the game honors seven times during his career. He was the University’s 1992-93 recipient of the Vince Lombardi Award for Leadership and Academic Achievement. Buggs has a master’s degree in educational administration from Penn State.

Larry Johnson is his 15th season on the staff and 11th year coaching the defensive line. He has been instrumental in the development of six first-team All-Americans in the past 10 years, including defensive tackle Jared Odrick in 2009. Odrick also was named the 2009 Big Ten Defensive Player-of-theYear. Ends Aaron Maybin and Tamba Hali were first-team AllAmericans and NFL first-round draft choices under Johnson in 2008 and 2005, respectively. Michael Haynes and Jimmy Kennedy were 2002 All-Americans and first-round NFL draft picks. Johnson worked solely with the defensive ends and oversaw many of the special teams from 1996-99. His efforts with Courtney Brown helped him earn All-America honors in 1999 and become the No. 1 selection in the 2000 NFL Draft. Johnson also has coached 12 first-team All-Big Ten performers and has had a large role in the success of the defense, punting and recruiting efforts during his tenure. Head coach at McDonough High School in Pomfret, Md., for 19 years, Johnson’s teams compiled a 139-36 ledger, capturing state championships in 1983, ‘85 and ‘90. In 1992-93, he was head coach at T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Va. Johnson was a standout linebacker at Elizabeth City (N.C.) State University, earning NAIA All-America honors. After graduation, he played one season with the NFL Washington Redskins. One son, Larry, became just the ninth player in NCAA history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season in 2002 and was a two-time All-Pro pick with the Kansas City Chiefs. Another son, Tony, was a Penn State wide receiver.

TOM BRADLEY In Charge of Defense/Cornerbacks Tom Bradley is in his 32nd season on the staff and 11th supervising one of the nation’s top defenses. He also is in his 15th year working with the cornerbacks. In 2009, Penn State ranked in the top 15 nationally in the primary six defensive categories. The Lions have six consecutive Top 15 finishes in total and scoring defense, holding 50 of the last 75 opponents to 17 points or less, including 10 in 2009. Since 2004, Penn State is No. 3 in the nation in scoring (15.1 ppg) and rushing (96.99 ypg) defense and fifth in total defense (290.3 ypg). Bradley, who has played a large role in the success of the defense and recruiting efforts during his tenure, has helped develop four All-Americans in the secondary and cornerback Justin King, a first-team All-Big Ten pick in 2007. Bradley was a football letterman at Penn State in 1977-78, a graduate assistant in 1979 and became a full-time staff member in 1980. In addition to the defensive backs, Bradley also has coached five other positions, including outside linebackers and defensive ends, coordinated the special teams and served as recruiting coordinator, bringing numerous prep standouts to Penn State throughout his tenure. Shane Conlan, O.J. McDuffie, Kim Herring, David Macklin, Bryan Scott, Alan Zemaitis, Justin King, Lydell Sargeant and A.J. Wallace are among the standouts he has coached. Bradley was captain of the football and basketball teams at Bishop McCort High School in Johnstown, Pa.

GALEN HALL In Charge of Offense/Running Backs Galen Hall is in his seventh season at Penn State, overseeing the offense and coaching the running backs. He has been instrumental in the development of Evan Royster (2008-09), Rodney Kinlaw (2007) and Tony Hunt (2005-06), who have rushed for more than 1,000 yards the past five seasons. Royster enters the season with 2,918 career rushing yards, needing 481 to pass Curt Warner for the lead. Under Hall, the Lions were second in the Big Ten in total offense (406.9 ypg) in 2009 and broke school records for total offense and passing yards in 2007. Hall directed an offense that led the Big Ten in scoring and was second in rushing in 2005. He returned to his alma mater in 2004 having achieved numerous successes in the collegiate and professional ranks. A native of Williamsburg, Pa., he served as running backs coach with the Dallas Cowboys, where he coached Emmitt Smith in 2002 when Smith broke the NFL all-time rushing record. Hall was head coach of the Rhein Fire in NFL Europe from 1995-2000, leading the team to three World Bowl berths, including NFL Europe titles in 1998 and 2000. He was selected NFL Europe Coach-of-the-Year three times. Hall compiled a 40-18-1 record as head coach at the University of Florida from 1984-89, winning Associated Press Coach-ofthe-Year honors in 1984 after leading the Gators to a 9-1-1 mark. He also was offensive coordinator at Oklahoma from 1966-83, developing numerous All-Americans. Hall was the Lions’ starting quarterback in 1960 and ’61, guiding them to wins in the Liberty and Gator Bowls.

BILL KENNEY Offensive Tackles & Tight Ends In his 23rd year on the staff, Bill Kenney coaches the offensive tackles and tight ends. He was instrumental in developing tackle Dennis Landolt into a 2009 first-team AllBig Ten honoree and third-team All-American. He also helped mold a unit that opened lanes for Evan Royster to become Penn State’s sixth 1,000-yard rusher in the past seven seasons. Kenney was essential in the development of two-time All-America tackle Levi Brown, the No. 5 pick in the 2007 NFL Draft. He helped develop a unit that paved the way for Larry Johnson to become just the ninth 2,000-yard rusher in NCAA history in 2002. Kenney was critical in the development of 2000 first-team All-Big Ten tackle Kareem McKenzie, a nineyear NFL veteran. Kenney also helped produce a pair of firstteam All-Americans in 1994 and ‘95, guard Jeff Hartings and tight end Kyle Brady, both first-round NFL draft choices. Kenney worked with the offensive line (1995-99), tight ends and offensive line and was recruiting coordinator in 1992, an area where he remains very active. A graduate assistant coach with the Nittany Lions in 1988, he became full-time in 1989. The Randolph, Mass., native is a graduate of Norwich University where he was a three-year starter. He coached a year at Norwich, three years in high school and two seasons as a graduate assistant at Nebraska before arriving at Penn State.

RON VANDERLINDEN

Wide Receivers/Recruiting Coordinator

Linebackers

In his seventh season on the staff, Mike McQueary coaches the wide receivers and serves as recruiting coordinator. His work with the wideouts has produced a significant increase in big plays, unit development and record-setting performances. Derek Moye (48) and Graham Zug (46) ranked among the school season Top 15 in receptions in 2009. Deon Butler, Jordan Norwood and Derrick Williams became the first trio of Nittany Lions with 40 or more catches in a season in 2006, and repeated the feat in 2007 and ’08 en route to making NFL rosters. All three rank in the Top 5 in school career receptions and Top 10 in career receiving yardage, with former walk-on Butler developing into the Penn State career leader in receptions and No. 2 in yardage. McQueary’s efforts as recruiting coordinator have yielded six of the fastest and most athletic classes in Penn State history. He spent the 2003 season as an administrative assistant with the football program and from 2000-02 was a graduate assistant coach. A State College native, McQueary played at Penn State (1994-97) and was the starting quarterback in ‘97, leading the Lions to a 9-3 record and the Florida Citrus Bowl. An offensive co-captain as a senior, McQueary broke three school records and was one of five finalists for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award. In his first career start, he broke school marks with 366 yards passing and 370 yards of total offense in a win over Pittsburgh.

Ron Vanderlinden is in his 10th year as linebackers coach and has been pivotal in helping restore the “Linebacker U.” tradition. Vanderlinden has developed linebacker units that annually are among the nation’s elite. All three starters earned AllBig Ten honors in 2009 and Navorro Bowman was secondteam All-American and first-team all-conference for the second consecutive year. Sean Lee returned to form after missing 2008 with a knee injury, moving into fourth place in career tackles with 325. In 2007, All-American Dan Connor became the school’s career tackle leader, won the Bednarik Award and was a finalist for the Butkus Award. Vanderlinden also worked with Paul Posluszny, the 2005 Butkus Award recipient and twotime All-American and Bednarik Award winner. Vanderlinden, who is very active in Penn State’s recruiting efforts, was head coach at the University of Maryland from 1997-2000. A native of Livonia, Mich., he was defensive coordinator at Northwestern from 1992-96 and spent nine years as a defensive assistant at Colorado. He was an important element in the Wildcats’ emergence, which produced Big Ten Championship seasons in 1995-96. His defensive pupils at Northwestern included linebacker Pat Fitzgerald, the only other two-time Bednarik Award winner. At Colorado, Vanderlinden coached several NFL draft choices and helped the Buffaloes win the 1990 National Championship. He started his career as a graduate assistant at Bowling Green in 1978 and also coached at Michigan and Ball State. A four-year starter at center at Albion College, he twice earned all-conference honors.

JAY PATERNO Quarterbacks Jay Paterno is in his 16th year on the staff and 11th coaching the quarterbacks. He was influential in the development of two-time first-team All-Big Ten signal-caller Daryll Clark. Co-winner of the 2009 Big Ten Silver Football (MVP), Clark was 22-4 as a starter, breaking Penn State records for season (24) and career (43) touchdown passes, season passing yardage (3,003) and season total offense (3,214), among others. Under Paterno’s guidance, Clark earned 2010 Capital One Bowl MVP honors and gave Penn State a 2,000-yard passer for the fifth straight year. Paterno was instrumental in the development of record-setting quarterbacks Anthony Morelli and Michael Robinson, the 2005 Big Ten MVP, who plays for the San Francisco 49ers. Robinson broke Kerry Collins’ Penn State season total offense mark en route to finishing fifth in voting for the Heisman Trophy. Paterno also coached Zack Mills, who owned or shared 18 school passing and total offense records, including the game passing (399 yards) and total offense (418 yards) marks. From 1995-99, Paterno worked with the tight ends and was recruiting coordinator, an area where he remains very active. He helped develop All-Big Ten tight end Tony Stewart, who has played nine NFL seasons. A 1990 Penn State graduate, Paterno was a reserve quarterback on his father’s squad. He lettered as a senior in 1989 and was a member of the 1986 National Championship team. He was a graduate assistant coach at Virginia for three years and wide receivers and tight ends coach at Connecticut for two. Paterno was the quarterbacks coach at James Madison in 1994, helping the Dukes to the second round of the Division I-AA playoffs.

JOHN THOMAS Strength & Conditioning In his 19th year at Penn State, the efforts of John Thomas have made a significant impact in the squad’s overall strength and conditioning habits. His strenuous regimen throughout the year is most evident during “winning time,” as the Nittany Lions’ conditioning has helped them secure or win many games in the fourth quarter during his tenure. Penn State has won 13 games decided by 10 points or less the past five seasons. His efforts were recognized with his 2002 selection as Master of Strength and Conditioning Coach, a title held by fewer than 30 people worldwide. He also was chosen the 1997 National Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coach-of-the-Year. Thomas spent two seasons at the U.S. Military Academy, the second as the head of the strength and conditioning program in 1990-91. A Muskingum College graduate, he started at defensive tackle for two years and at offensive guard for two seasons and was an All-Ohio Valley Athletic Conference first-team pick and a second-team Division II All-American. He was inducted into the Muskingum Athletic Hall of Fame in October 2008. Thomas spent two years as a graduate assistant football and strength coach at Toledo. At the University of the South (1986-89), he coached football and served as a strength coach in football and baseball.

first career touchdown reception. Penn State quickly regained possession, as Dailey grabbed his first career interception, returning it 12 yards to the Zips’ 26yard line. But, a Clark pass went off a receiver’s hands and was intercepted by Mike Thomas at the Akron four. Midway through the second quarter, punt protector Dailey took a direct snap on a fake punt and burst up the middle for a 37-yard gain to the Akron 21. Wagner connected on a 29-yard field goal to make it 17-0 with 6:15 left in the half. Penn State extended its lead to 240 on a beautiful 22-yard pass from Clark to Moye in the end zone. Wagner’s PAT was good with 1:33 left in the half. The Nittany Lions forced a punt and took over on their own 29 with 1:07 to play. Clark connected on a 42-yard strike to a leaping Moye at the Akron 24. Two plays later, Clark fired a 19-yard scoring strike to Zug in the end zone for a 31-0 lead with :37 left in the opening half. Penn State rolled to 16 first downs and 344 yards in the first half (254 passing, 90 rushing), while limiting Akron to no first downs and eight total yards (25 passing, minus-17 rushing). Akron took the first possession of the second half and picked up three first downs, advancing to the Penn State two. But, on fourth-and-goal, Zips’ quarterback Chris Jacquemain was stuffed by Stupar and the Lions took over at the one. Penn State advanced to midfield, but Brett Brackett was hit after a catch and lost the ball, with Akron’s Mike Thomas recovering on the Penn State 40. On first down, Jacquemain hit Deryn Bowser for the Zips’ lone score of the day, making it 31-7 with 6:07 left in the third. Penn State had 11 first-time starters: five on offense (LG Matt Stankiewitch, RG Lou Eliades, RT

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; Sept. 5 — Daryll Clark was more than comfortable with his new starting wideouts and revamped offensive line and the Penn State defense did not permit Akron to earn a first down in the first half as the Nittany Lions rolled to a 31-7 win in Beaver Stadium in the season-opener for both teams. Penn State took a 31-0 halftime lead, rolling to 344 yards. The Nittany Lions allowed Akron only eight net yards in the first half. Penn State improved to 102-19-2 (83.7) in season-openers, having won 17 of its last 19, and to 37-7 (84.1) under Joe Paterno in openers. The Nittany Lions held their opening opponent to 10 points or less for the 19th time in the Paterno era. Clark set career-highs with his 29of-40 effort for 353 yards to earn Big Ten Offensive Player-of-the-Week honors for the third time in his 13 regular-season starts. He threw three touchdown passes. His 29 completions were tied for No. 2 in the Penn State record books (Zack Mills vs. Purdue, 2004) and his passing yardage was fifth-highest. In the first half, Clark was 17-of-25 for 254 yards, breaking the school record for first-half passing yardage. The previous mark was 231 yards by Anthony Morelli against Florida International in the 2007 season-opener. In his first career start, sophomore wide receiver Derek Moye had a superlative day, setting career-highs with six receptions for 138 yards and one touchdown. Moye made four catches of 20 yards or more, including a leaping 42-yard effort to move the Lions deep into Akron territory and set up a Clark touchdown pass to Graham Zug with :37 left in the half.

Sophomore wideout Chaz Powell also set career-highs with seven catches for 65 yards, including an eight-yard touchdown grab in the first quarter. Zug set career-bests with five catches for 62 yards and a score. Sophomore fullback Joe Suhey, who made his first start, also had career-highs with four catches for 40 yards. Junior tailback Evan Royster opened the scoring on a five-yard run with just 3:42 elapsed in the game. He finished with a game-high 61 yards on 14 carries, as Penn State amassed 515 yards of total offense. The offensive line featured three new starters and the two returnees, senior Dennis Landolt and junior Stefen Wisniewski, were in different positions from 2008. The Nittany Lion defense was relentless, not allowing a first down until the third quarter and only 186 yards (158 passing, 28 rushing) for the game. Penn State recorded 13 tackles for loss on just 54 snaps, including four sacks, and sophomore safety Andrew Dailey grabbed an interception. Junior linebacker Navorro Bowman left the game in the first quarter when he re-aggravated a preseason injury and sophomore Nate Stupar made the most of the opportunity, racking up a careerbest 12 tackles (eight solo), with a sack. In his first game since the 2007 Alamo Bowl, senior linebacker Sean Lee made seven stops, with two for minusyardage, after missing the 2008 season with a torn ACL. Junior defensive tackle Ollie Ogbu had a career-best six hits, including 2.5 TFL, and senior DT Jared Odrick recorded four tackles, including two TFL for minus-seven yards. Penn State took the opening kickoff 84 yards in seven plays for its opening score of the season. A 36-yard completion from Clark to Moye got the Lions deep into Akron territory. Royster scored on a five-yard run with 11:18 left in the first quarter. Collin Wagner’s PAT kick made it 7-0.

down passes in a third straight regularseason game. He threw scoring strikes to Evan Royster (49 yards), Graham Zug (20 yards) and Mickey Shuler (one yard). Clark boosted his career touchdown pass total to 25 and moved into 10th place at Penn State. Zug had his second consecutive big game, rewriting his career-highs for the second straight week. He made six catches for 79 yards, with his 20-yard touchdown grab making the score 21-0 midway through the third quarter. Senior tight end Andrew Quarless made four catches for 35 yards, Derek Moye had three for 35 and Royster made two grabs for a career-high 61 yards and a TD. Royster gained 41 rushing yards on 12 carries for 101 all-purpose yards. Senior punter Jeremy Boone had an outstanding game, with three punts for a 50.0 average, including one kick downed at the Syracuse two. The Nittany Lions took the game’s first possession to a 7-0 lead. Clark hit Royster on a slant, he averted two would-be tacklers and zipped 49 yards for the score just 3:19 into the game. The reception was a career-long for Royster. Collin Wagner’s PAT made it 70. Penn State took its next possession to the Syracuse one but could not punch it in. On fourth-and-goal from the one, Clark fumbled the exchange from center Stefen Wisniewski and the Orange took over early in the second quarter. With the south end of Beaver Stadium roaring, Syracuse gained only one yard on three running plays and was forced to punt. Early in the second quarter, the defense forced another punt from deep in Syracuse territory and took possession at the Orange 35. Penn State quickly moved downfield and Royster scored on a 12-yard run around the left side with 7:34 left in the half for a 14-0 lead. The Nittany Lions extended their lead to 21-0 on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Clark to Zug with 7:44 left in the third period. Zug broke his career-

Boone pinned the Owls deep in their own territory and the defense forced a three-and-out, with the Nittany Lions taking over on the Temple 35. With Royster doing the bulk of the work, he finished off the drive by stretching the ball over the goal line for a seven-yard score to make it 14-3 with 5:46 left in the half. Royster gained 24 yards on four carries on the drive and eclipsed the 100-yard mark for the seventh time in his career. Penn State then forced another punt and quickly moved downfield.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; Sept. 26 — Penn State’s great start was nullified by four turnovers, a blocked punt and a safety, as Iowa rallied for a 21-10 win in the Big Ten-opener for both teams. The loss dropped No. 5 Penn State to 3-1 overall, while the Hawkeyes improved to 4-0. The Nittany Lions saw their 11-game home winning streak come to an end, suffering just their third loss in their last 33 games in Beaver Stadium. Penn State scored on its first play from scrimmage to electrify the Whitehouse crowd of 109,316. The Nittany Lions then used a 20-play drive, consuming 10:17, to take a 10-0 first-quarter lead. But, the Hawkeyes scored the final 21 points, including 16 in the fourth quarter. Penn State gained 147 yards in the first quarter, but was limited to 160 the remainder of the night. In his first full game of the season, junior linebacker Navorro Bowman recorded a career-high 13 tackles, with three tackles-for-loss for minus-7 yards. Bowman had not played since the first quarter of the season-opener against Akron because of an injury. Josh Hull tied a career-high with 13 tackles, including 2.0 TFL for minus-8 yards, giving him 38 stops in the last three games. Sophomore safety Nick Sukay recorded a career-high nine tackles and grabbed his first career interception in the first quarter. He also had a career-best four pass breakups. Bani Gbadyu made his fourth career start and had a career-high seven tackles. He started in place of Sean Lee, who did not play due to a sprained knee suffered in the Temple game. The Penn State defense did not allow a first-half touchdown for the fourth consecutive game.

With a steady rain falling most of the day, the Nittany Lions energized the crowd on their first play from scrimmage. Clark faked a hand--off to Evan Royster and launched a missile to Chaz Powell, who hauled in the pass near the Iowa 35 and sprinted into the end zone for a 79-yard scoring strike. Collin Wagner’s PAT made it 7-0 just 1:45 into the game. The 79-yard scoring strike was tied for the eighth-longest pass play in Penn State history and was the career-long completion and reception for Clark and Powell, respectively. Combined with Stephfon Green’s 80-yard touchdown catch against Michigan in 2008, two of Penn State’s 10 longest pass plays all-time have occurred in the past two seasons. On Iowa’s second possession, Sukay alertly dove and caught a pass that had been bobbled and kicked, grabbing it at the Penn State 21. The Nittany Lions then launched a 20-play drive over 10:17 that culminated in a 27-yard field goal by Wagner, making the score 10-0 with :52 left in the first period. The drive was Penn State’s longest for plays and time in the Big Ten era. The Lions were backed up near their own end zone and Iowa capitalized to get on the scoreboard. Defensive end Broderick Binns forced Clark to fumble in the end zone and Johnnie Troutman pounced on it, resulting in a safety with 11:47 left in the second quarter. The safety was the first for a Penn State opponent since an intentional safety in the 2004 game at Indiana. The Hawkeyes cut the lead to 10-5 on a 41-yard field goal by Daniel Murray with 4:41 left in the half. After a scoreless third quarter, the Hawkeyes took the lead early in the fourth. Adrian Clayborn blocked a Jeremy Boone punt, the ball bounced up and he returned it for a 53-yard score with 12:21 left in the game. Ricky Stanzi was sacked on the two-point attempt, keeping the Iowa lead at 11-10. The blocked punt was the first of Boone’s career after 110 punts. The Hawkeyes got the ball back on

Following another Illinois three-andout, the Nittany Lions quickly moved 80 yards in just five plays to extend their lead. A 22-yard pass from Clark to Moye got the drive going and an 18-yard pass from Clark to Shuler took the ball to the Illini 15.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill.; Oct. 3 — Penn State ran for a season-high 338 yards and held the ball for nearly 20 minutes in the second half en route to a 35-17 win at Illinois. The Nittany Lions (4-1) improved to 10-1 in the next game after a loss since the start of the 2005 season. Leading, 7-3, at halftime, Penn State put forth a dominant second-half performance, scoring four touchdowns and holding the ball for 19:28. The Nittany Lions out-gained the Illini, 208-8, in the third quarter en route to 513 yards, their second 500-yard effort of the season. Sophomore Stephfon Green (13120-1) and junior Evan Royster (17-1051) eclipsed 100 rushing yards, giving Penn State its first 100-yard rushing tandem since Tony Hunt (151) and Michael Robinson (125) did so in a 2005 win over Wisconsin. Green eclipsed the century mark for the second time in his career, while Royster did so for the second time this season and eighth time in his career. Green and Royster became the first pair of Penn State running backs to surpass 100 rushing yards in a Big Ten game (since 1993). Daryll Clark accounted for 258 yards of total offense. He was a very efficient 17-of-25 (68 pct.) for 175 yards, with no touchdowns or interceptions. He also ran for a career-high 83 yards, including a career-long 51-yard burst in the third period, and scored twice. Andrew Quarless tied his careerhigh with five receptions. Derek Moye made four receptions for 57 yards, tight end Mickey Shuler had three grabs for 33 yards and Graham Zug had three catches for 28 yards.

than nine minutes were left, with Penn State holding a 28-3 lead. Josh Hull recorded double-figure tackles for the fourth consecutive contest with 11, leading the Nittany Lions in hits for the third straight week. Bani Gbadyu started for an injured Sean Lee for the second straight week and made a career-high eight stops. Nick Sukay had seven solo hits and Navorro Bowman had seven tackles, with a TFL for minus-eight yards. Sophomore defensive end Eric Latimore recorded a career-best five tackles, including a sack. Classmate Jack Crawford had four stops, including a sack for minus-15 yards, and recovered a fumble at the Illinois 14 to set up Brent Carter’s 11-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. Freshman defensive end Sean Stanley had a sack and forced the fumble that Crawford recovered. Jeremy Boone had another outstanding game, averaging 49.5 yards on four punts to garner Big Ten Special Teams Player-of-the-Week honors. He delivered a 66-yard punt, third-longest of his career, and had two punts downed inside the Illini five-yard line. Early in the second quarter, Clark connected with Shuler and Zug on consecutive first-down passes. Green then burst through a gaping hole on the left side, got a big block from pulling guard Lou Eliades and raced down the middle of the field for a 52-yard score. Green’s run was Penn State’s longest since his 69-yard touchdown run against Temple in 2008. Collin Wagner’s PAT kick made it 7-0 with 11:05 left in the second quarter. On the Illini’s ensuing possession, Arrelious Benn hauled in a 49-yard completion and was dragged down by Hull at the Penn State 8. The defense stiffened and forced a 22-yard field goal by Matt Eller to make it 7-3 with 7:12 left in the first half. Late in the half, Boone lofted a punt that A.J. Wallace downed at the Illinois 1. The Illini, though, moved the ball downfield until Crawford delivered a huge sack that also resulted in an intentional grounding penalty. On the final play of the half, Juice Williams lofted the

Boone’s only punt of the second half went 60 yards, but was a touchback. On the Illini’s second play, Stanley forced Williams to fumble and Crawford pounced on the pigskin at the Illinois 14. On second down, Carter swept right for an 11-yard TD run with 4:49 to play.

State’s first fumble recovery for a touchdown since Tony Davis had an 88-yard fumble return for a fourth-quarter score in the 2007 Outback Bowl against Tennessee. Bowman’s fumble recovery was Penn State’s longest fumble recovery since the NCAA began permitting fumble returns in 1990. It also was the longest scoring play for the Nittany Lions since Derrick Williams had a 94yard kickoff return for a touchdown against Illinois in 2008. Penn State took its first possession 85 yards to grab a 7-0 lead. Royster gained 43 yards on four attempts, including a 20-yard burst.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; Oct. 17 — Penn State delivered its 40th shutout under coach Joe Paterno, throttling Minnesota to post a 20-0 Homecoming victory in Beaver Stadium. The Nittany Lions improved to 6-1 overall, winning for the 48th time in 60 games. Penn State limited Minnesota to just seven first downs, 37 rushing yards and 138 total yards. The shutout was the first by the Nittany Lions since their 31-0 victory at Temple in 2007. It was Penn State’s first shutout in a Big Ten game since winning at Purdue, 12-0, in 2006, and was the first shutout in a Big Ten home game since defeating Northwestern, 49-0, on Homecoming in 2002. The Nittany Lions held their fifth opponent in their first seven games to seven points or less for the first time since 1956. Penn State totaled 41:59 in time of possession, its most since having 42:01 against Brigham Young in 1991. The Nittany Lions gained 464 yards, with 287 passing yards from Daryll Clark and 177 rushing yards, led by Evan Royster with a season-high 137. Penn State did not have a turnover for the first time in 2009, despite the cold, wet conditions. The high temperature did not crack 40 degrees, marking the coldest Homecoming game in the Paterno era. The Nittany Lions had eight plays of at least 20 yards, their season-high through seven games, giving them 15 big plays in the last two games. Daryll Clark was outstanding, going 21-of-32 for 287 yards, with one touchdown and no interceptions. The passing yardage total was the third-highest of his career at the time. Clark delivered his 10th career 200-yard passing game. Derek Moye had a tremendous game, tying his career-high with six catches and making a superlative touch-

Royster recorded his ninth career 100-yard rushing game and his third of the season, finishing with 137 yards on 23 carries (6.0). The Penn State defense allowed only seven first downs, tied for 10th lowest in the Paterno era. It was the fewest first downs allowed by the Nittany Lions since giving up six to Indiana in 2008. Minnesota’s 40 plays were the fewest by a Penn State opponent since at least the 1977 season. Minnesota’s season-low of 138 yards of offense was the lowest total offense by a Penn State opponent since Temple had 138 yards in 2008. The Nittany Lions recorded five tackles-for-loss, led by Navorro Bowman with 2.0 TFL for minus-four yards and Jared Odrick, who had 1.5 TFL, including a sack for minus-11 yards, among his four hits. Bowman led the Lions with eight tackles and teamed with A.J. Wallace on a huge play in the fourth quarter. Josh Hull made six stops and grabbed his second interception of the season. Penn State limited the Big Ten’s leading receiver, Eric Decker, to one reception for 42 yards. He entered the contest averaging 7.6 catches for 114.8 yards per game. A.J. Wallace made four stops, including the initial hit on Kevin Whaley at the Penn State one-yard line on fourth-and-goal in the final period to preserve the shutout. Sean Lee had two tackles in his first limited action in four games, tying him with Brandon Short for eighth place on the school career tackle list with 273. Penn State took a 3-0 lead on its second possession of the game. A 26yard run by Royster took the ball to the Minnesota 30. Collin Wagner connected

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; Nov. 7 — Penn State’s five-game winning streak came to an end as Ohio State came out on top, 24-7, in a battle of two of the nation’s premier defenses. A sun-splashed crowd of 110,003 jammed Beaver Stadium in the facility’s 300th game. Penn State suffered just its fourth loss in its last 36 home games, dating to the final two contests of the 2004 season.

Penn State did not allow a 100-yard rusher for the 13th consecutive game. Sean Lee made 14 tackles, his most since notching 14 against Texas A&M in the 2007 Alamo Bowl, where he was named the game’s Defensive MVP.

On second down, Terrelle Pryor ran seven yards to give Ohio State a 7-0 lead with 11:47 left in the first quarter. The touchdown was just the third the Nittany Lions allowed in the first half of the season. A 31-yard completion from Clark to Zug got the Nittany Lions moving on their second possession.

He became the first Penn State defensive player to have two scores in a season since Tony Davis had two fumble returns for touchdowns in 2006. Josh Hull made eight tackles, giving him 103 for the season to become the 20th different Nittany Lion player all-time to record at least 100 tackles in a season.

Wagner’s PAT tied the game at 10-10, as the Lions marched 70 yards in just 45 seconds. The Nittany Lions had an opportunity to take the lead on their first possession of the second half, but Wagner’s 34-yard field goal attempt hit the upright. Indiana then moved into Penn State territory, but the Nittany Lion defense made the momentum-changing play. A Ben Chappell pass was tipped and Bowman grabbed the interception, cut up the middle and down the far sideline for a 73-yard touchdown to ignite the crowd of 107,379. Wagner’s PAT made it 17-10 with 6:54 left in the third quarter.

BOWL RECAPS Receiving

1923 ROSE: January 1, 1923 Penn State fought a gallant fight, but Southern California was just too strong in a 14-3 victory in the 1923 Rose Bowl, the Nittany Lions’ first post-season game. The Trojans bounced back from an early 3-0 Penn State lead to post the win. The 29-member Penn State travel party departed State College by train on December 19 and, after stops in Chicago and the Grand Canyon, arrived in Pasadena on Christmas Eve. The morning of the game, the team took in the Tournament of Roses Parade, then returned to their hotel. The Lions left in several taxi cabs at 11 a.m. for the drive to the Rose Bowl, but as the 2:15 p.m. kickoff approached, the team was mired in post-parade traffic. Only after the cabbies drove over the lawns of local residents did the Penn State contingent finally reach the Rose Bowl. When the team arrived, they found kickoff had already been delayed by 10 minutes. Penn State coach Hugo Bezdek and USC coach “Gloomy Gus” Henderson almost came to blows as the Lions’ skipper successfully lobbied game officials for additional warmup time. The game finally started an hour late and ended in moonlight, with sportswriters lighting matches in order to finish their stories. Even with the 60-minute delay, many of the 43,000 spectators did not reach their seats until the second quarter. Penn State took an early 3-0 lead on Mike Palm’s 20yard drop-kick field goal, but Roy “Bullet” Baker rushed for 123 yards and one touchdown for the Trojans and the Lions were held to five first downs and 104 yards. Penn State’s share of the proceeds — $21,349.64 — was directed toward the $2 million Emergency Building Fund and in particular the construction of Varsity Hall (now Irvin Hall).

1948 COTTON: January 1, 1948 Penn State climaxed a 25-year climb back to national prominence with a 13-13 tie against Southern Methodist in the Cotton Bowl. Unheralded quarterback Elwood Petchel matched SMU All-American Doak Walker yard-for-yard as the Lions rallied from 13-0 back and had several chances to win the game. Petchel threw for scores in the second and third quarters and nearly had a third at the end of the game, when a defender tipped away the ball at the last second. In the third quarter the Lions tied the game at 13 and Ed Czekaj’s PAT kick appeared to be good, but was ruled no good by a hesitating referee. The Lions outgained SMU 258 to 206, but two lost fumbles hurt their chances. Petchel completed seven of 15 passes for 165 yards and two touchdowns. Fran Rogel gained 95 yards on 25 carries, easily out-rushing Walker. Because two Lions, Wally Triplett and Dennie Hoggard, were African-American, none of the Dallas hotels would allow the team to stay in their facilities, forcing the squad to stay at a Naval Air Station 14 miles from Dallas. Coach Bob Higgins’ squad finished 9-0-1, won its first Lambert Trophy and was No. 4 in the Associated Press poll. Southern Methodist Penn State

1959 LIBERTY: December 19, 1959 Coach Rip Engle took the advice of veteran bowl participant Bobby Dodd of Georgia Tech and installed some new plays to keep his Penn State team busy for the 1959 Liberty Bowl. That advice paid off as Penn State scored on a fake field goal play to upend Alabama, 7-0, in the inaugural Liberty Bowl in Philadelphia. The play came in the final seconds of the first half with Galen Hall passing 18 yards to Roger Kochman for the score. Game conditions at Municipal Stadium (later renamed JFK Stadium) were less than ideal and Penn State’s defense made the points stand up. Directed by quarterback Richie Lucas, the Maxwell Award winner and Heisman Trophy runnerup, the Lions’ offense completely dominated the game, outgaining Coach Bear Bryant’s Crimson Tide 319 to 131, including a 278 to 104 edge on the ground. The victory was the first bowl win for the Nittany Lions, improving their post-season mark to 1-1-1. Penn State has not been below the .500 mark in bowl games since the historic win.

Penn State’s second team — the “Reddie” unit — proved the value of depth as the Nittany Lions rolled over Oregon, 41-12, for their second straight Liberty Bowl win in as many years. Twenty-one unanswered points in the second quarter gave the Lions a lead they would not relinquish on a cold, windy day in Philadelphia. Oregon’s long first-quarter TD drive produced an early lead, but quarterback Dick Hoak and his second unit marched for two scores, while quarterback Galen Hall led another in the second quarter for a 21-6 halftime bulge. The Ducks scored in the third quarter, but again the Reddie unit produced three TDs in the fourth quarter. Hoak enjoyed an outstanding day on defense as well as running and passing on offense. He ran for 61 yards and two scores on nine carries; and completed three of five passes for 67 yards and a TD strike. It was the running game that was the difference as the Lions outgained Oregon 301 to 187 and 420 to 360 overall. The 420 yards of total offense was a school bowl record until 1975. The Lions also forced four turnovers. Oregon Penn State

1962 GATOR: December 29, 1962

Penn State justified its selection as the Lambert Trophy winner with a decisive 30-15 victory over Georgia Tech, notching its third straight bowl victory in as many years in its first post-season game in the South. Despite three early-season losses, the Lions downed the Yellow Jackets, who had allowed only 4.4 points a game, registering four shutouts. Galen Hall threw three touchdown passes as Penn State rallied from a 9-0 deficit. The Nittany Lion defenders caused five turnovers and took advantage of a misfired fake punt and an interception to put the game away with 10 fourth-quarter points. All-America end Dave Robinson made a stunning play midway through the third quarter and with the Lions leading 14-9, leaping over two blockers and forcing quarterback Stan Gann to fumble, which Robinson recovered at the Jackets’ 35-yard line. Hall struck quickly, tossing a 35-yard scoring strike to Junior Powell. The Jackets carried the day statistically (outgaining Penn State 412 to 313), but special teams play for Penn State was critical as Yellow Jacket errors and a superb Lion punting game (eight punts for a 41.0 yard average) helped offset Georgia Tech’s rushing game. Hall was superb, hitting 12 of 22 passes for 175 yards and three touchdowns to earn game MVP honors. Georgia Tech Penn State

Penn State posted a 9-1 regular-season in 1962, losing by three points at Army, and was ranked No. 9 in the final Associated Press poll, earning its second straight Lambert Trophy. But, the Lions were snubbed from a New Year’s Day bowl and accepted an invitation to play in the Gator Bowl for the second consecutive year, facing unranked, 6-4 Florida. The Lions managed only eight first downs and 147 yards and lost to the Gators, 17-7. Except for a 76-yard touchdown march culminated by Pete Liske’s one-yard TD run in the second period, Rip Engle’s squad didn’t slightly resemble the offensive terror that had swept its last six games, scoring 164 points in the process. Florida quarterback Tommy Shannon completed seven of nine passes for 79 yards and two scores and mixed his plays to befuddle the big Penn State defense. The Gators added the longest field goal in Gator Bowl history and forced five turnovers to snap the Lions’ two-game bowl winning streak. The best experience of this post-season may have been the squad’s trip to the White House where they gave President John F. Kennedy a Nittany Lion statue. The Lions practiced for more than a week at the U.S. Naval Academy before encountering difficult travel from Harrisburg to Jacksonville, having to bus to Pittsburgh and land in Orlando due to poor weather conditions in Pennsylvania and Florida.

1967 GATOR: December 30, 1967 Penn State led for 59 minutes and 45 seconds, but Florida State rallied from a 17-0 deficit and kicked a field goal with 15 seconds remaining to earn a 17-17 tie in the Gator Bowl. The Nittany Lions did all their scoring in the first half, thanks largely to quarterback Tom Sherman. He kicked a 27-yard field goal in the first period and then threw touchdown passes to Jack Curry and Ted Kwalick for a 17-0 bulge at halftime. Early in the second half, the Lions stopped the Seminoles on downs at the Penn State five-yard line. Three rushes by Charlie Pittman appeared to give Penn State a first down, but the measurement came up six inches short. In his first bowl game as head coach, Joe Paterno decided to go for it, but Sherman’s fourth-down sneak was short. Florida State quarterback Kim Hammond tossed a 20-yard scoring pass to Ron Sellers soon after to swing the momentum. Hammond was 37-of53 passing for 362 yards, with four interceptions, while Sellers had 14 receptions for 145 yards. After the game, Paterno told the Philadelphia Inquirer, “I may be rationalizing, but in the long run that fourth-down call may be the best thing I ever did for Penn State football.” Florida State Penn State

1969 ORANGE: January 1, 1969 “There was no way Penn State could win...The last two minutes were pure unadulterated insanity.” — Pittsburgh Press The Nittany Lions posted perhaps the school’s most dramatic victory with an unbelievable 15-14 win over sixthranked Kansas in the 1969 Orange Bowl. In the final 1:16 seconds of the game, Penn State turned what appeared to be a Jayhawk victory into an incredible cap to an 11-0 season and the No. 2 national ranking. With Kansas leading, 14-7, with 10 minutes to play, Jayhawk coach Pepper Rodgers passed on a field goal from the Penn State five-yard line and running back John Riggins was stopped on fourth-and-one by Paul and Pete Johnson, keeping the Lions within a touchdown. The game took on legendary status in the last two minutes after Penn State was forced to punt. The Lions had all three timeouts left and used them well. After tackle Mike Reid dropped quarterback Bobby Douglass for 13 yards in losses on consecutive plays of Kansas’ final offensive series, Penn State helped its cause when Neal Smith partially blocked the punt, providing one last opportunity from the 50 yard-line with 1:16 left. Quarterback Chuck Burkhart connected with Bob Campbell on a 47yard pass to the Kansas three, just as Kansas running back Donnie Shanklin was being announced as the game MVP. After fullback Tom Cherry tried the middle twice, Burkhart faked a handoff to Charlie Pittman and carried around the left end for the touchdown with just eight seconds remaining. Never one fond of ties, Joe Paterno elected to go for the win, but Burkhart’s two-point pass to Campbell was knocked away and the Kansas players began to celebrate with fans who were coming onto the field. But, a penalty had been called on the Jayhawks for 12 men on the field and, as game films would later reveal, Kansas had 12 men on the field for four plays, including Burkhart’s touchdown. Presented with a second opportunity, this time from the one-and-a-half-yard line, Campbell swept around the left side and into the end zone for the scintillating 15-14 victory as Penn State became the first Eastern school to win the Orange Bowl since 1937.

1970 ORANGE: January 1, 1970 If ever a defense won a bowl game, it happened in the 1970 Orange Bowl as Penn State repeatedly slammed the door on Missouri’s highly-touted offense for a 10-3 victory. It was a superlative performance by the Lion defenders as they led Penn State to its second straight Orange Bowl victory, its 22nd straight win and its 30th consecutive game without defeat. But, a second straight 11-0 campaign again earned the Lions the No. 2 national ranking, not their first National Championship. Having already voted to play in the Orange Bowl, the fifth-ranked Lions saw No. 1 Ohio State lose to Michigan, leaving the winner between unbeatens Texas and Arkansas as the likely new No. 1. President Richard Nixon was in attendance in Austin and after the Longhorns’ 15-14 win, declared Texas national champions, much to the chagrin and outrage of Joe Paterno, his squad and Nittany Lion fans. With the controversy about Number One still being debated, the Nittany Lion defense was outstanding in stopping the Big Eight champions. Nineteen times the powerful Missouri offense got possession of the ball and nine times the Lion defenders forced a turnover, intercepting seven passes and recovering two fumbles. The seven interceptions remain an Orange Bowl record, bettering the six turned in by Georgia against TCU in the 1942 contest, as well as being tied for the second-highest ever for any bowl game. All of Penn State’s scoring came within a 21-second span late in the first quarter, with Mike Reitz kicking a 29yard field goal with 3:44 remaining and Chuck Burkhart passing moments later to Lydell Mitchell for a 28-yard touchdown. The second score was set up after AllAmerican Mike Reid jarred the ball loose from Missouri’s Joe Moore on the kickoff and Mike Smith recovered the fumble. Burkhart completed 11 of 26 passes for 187 yards to earn Most Valuable Back honors, while Reid was chosen Most Valuable Lineman. Missouri connected on a 33-yard field goal late in the first half and reached the Penn State 14-yard line with 1:42 to play. But, George Landis grabbed his second interception of the game at the two and the Lions remained unbeaten in their 30th straight game, tying the school mark set from 1920-22. Missouri Penn State

1972 COTTON: January 1, 1972 Stung by a season-ending loss at Tennessee, Penn State looked at the 1972 Cotton Bowl as an opportunity to redeem itself and make a statement to the college football nation. With the No. 1 snub of 1969 not far removed, the game with Texas would provide a great opportunity for the Nittany Lions to earn some national respect. In what some considered a “must” win for the rising national powerhouse, Penn State blitzed highlytouted Texas, 30-6, for its third straight major bowl victory. Neither team was able to do much in a sluggish first half that wound up with Texas holding a 6-3 edge. The Longhorns had moved the ball from their famed Wishbone offense early in the contest, but the Penn State defense began to take control as the game wore on. The second half was all Penn State. The Lions took the lead for the first time early in the third quarter after Charlie Zapiec recovered a fumble at the Texas 41-yard line. A 19-yard run by Lydell Mitchell and a 19-yard pass from John Hufnagel to tight end Bob Parsons helped the Lions reach the Texas one. Mitchell followed a block by All-American Dave Joyner for the game’s first touchdown. The game-breaker came the next time the Lions got the ball. On second down from their 35-yard line, Hufnagel faked to Mitchell and lofted a pass to split end Scott Skarzynski dashing alone down the right sideline for a 17-6 lead. Alberto Vitiello added two more field goals and Hufnagel scored on a four-yard run, as the Lions controlled the ball for 13 minutes in the fourth quarter. Defensive end Bruce Bannon was voted the Outstanding Defensive Player-of-the-Game, although it was a team effort that held the Longhorns to 242 yards

and without a touchdown for the first time in 80 games. Mitchell was an overwhelming choice as the game’s Outstanding Offensive Player, as the All-American capped his brilliant career with 146 yards in 27 carries and one score. “It is one of the greatest victories in Penn State history,” stated a joyous Joe Paterno. “I don’t think we’ve ever had a game that we had to win more than this one.” Texas Penn State

1972 SUGAR: December 31, 1972 Penn State was matched against one of the nation’s top teams in the 1972 Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Eve, and while battling No. 2 Oklahoma throughout the game, fell 140, snapping a three-game bowl win streak. The game did not get off to a good start when the Lions learned just hours before kickoff that leading rusher John Cappelletti had a virus and a 102-degree temperature and would be unable to play. Without Cappelletti’s ball-control running, the defense spent a great deal of time on the field. As it turned out, the Lion defenders did a spectacular job against one of the nation’s most explosive offenses, holding the Sooners’ Wishbone attack to just 14 points. Oklahoma out-gained Penn State 453 to 196, including 278 to 49 on the ground, but the stingy Lion defense forced eight Sooner fumbles, five of which Penn State recovered. Several weeks after the game, Oklahoma was discovered to have used two ineligible freshmen players and the NCAA forced the Sooners to forfeit the games the players had participated in. Joe Paterno and school athletic officials refused to accept the win. Prior to that revelation, Paterno accepted an offer to become the Boston Patriots’ head coach and general manager four days after the Sugar Bowl, but changed his mind the following night.

1975 COTTON: January 1, 1975

For the third time in six seasons, Penn State found itself in the Orange Bowl attempting to complete a perfect season. And, as they did in the 1969 and 1970 Orange Bowls, the Nittany Lions rose to the occasion. Louisiana State provided stiff competition, but a hard-fought 16-9 win over the Tigers put the finishing touches on Penn State’s first 12-0 campaign. The Tigers took the opening kickoff and quickly scored on a three-yard run by Steve Rogers. The Lion defense made a few adjustments and LSU’s only other points came on a safety when Penn State punter Brian Masella downed a bad snap in his own end zone in the third quarter. Chris Bahr got Penn State on the scoreboard with a 44-yard field goal in the first quarter. The Nittany Lions grabbed control in the second period, sparked by Chuck Herd, who made a brilliant one-hand catch of a Tom Shuman pass on the LSU 20-yard line and ran it in to complete a memorable 72-yard score. The Lions continued their surge moments later when Gary Hayman, the nation’s leading punt returner in 1973, returned a punt 36 yards to the LSU 25-yard line. Heisman Trophy winner John Cappelletti vaulted over from one yard out for a 16-7 halftime edge. Despite being one of only three unbeaten, untied teams entering the bowls, Penn State was ranked No. 5 in the Associated Press poll and the Sugar Bowl match-up between unbeatens Alabama and Notre Dame was being touted as the game for the national title.

Penn State completed a 10-2 season with a recordsetting 41-20 victory over Southwest Conference champion Baylor in the Cotton Bowl. Joe Paterno’s Nittany Lions came from behind for the fifth time in its 10 wins, erasing a 7-3 halftime deficit with a 38-point second-half explosion for a Cotton Bowl record 41 points. Quarterback Tom Shuman and fullback Tom Donchez, the mainstays of the offense all season, led the record-breaking efforts. Shuman completed 10 of 20 passes for 226 yards and a touchdown and added 14 yards and another score on the ground. Donchez carried 25 times for 116 yards and a touchdown and caught four passes for 50 yards. Freshman Jimmy Cefalo also contributed greatly to the victory, rushing for 55 yards, catching three passes for 102 yards and scoring two touchdowns. It was a close game as the third quarter ended, with Penn State holding a 17-14 edge. Three straight scores — a three-yard run by Cefalo, a 33-yard field goal by Chris Bahr and a two-yard run by Shuman — gave the Lions an insurmountable 34-14 lead. Shuman earned his secondstraight post-season award, grabbing the Outstanding Offensive Player award as he led Penn State to what still is a school bowl record 491 yards of total offense.

Penn State and Alabama made history in the first Sugar Bowl played in the newly-constructed Louisiana Superdome, with a capacity crowd of 75,212 on hand. The contest also was the first of four meetings between Joe Paterno and Paul “Bear” Bryant, two of only five Division I-A coaches with at least 300 career wins. The game was typical of the Nittany Lions’ 9-3 season, featuring outstanding defense and kicking. Alabama managed the only touchdown of the game, a 14-yard run by Mike Stock in the third quarter, which was enough to allow the Tide to pull out a 13-6 victory. Chris Bahr, the Lions’ record-setting placekicker, accounted for all of Penn State’s scoring with a 42-yard field goal in the third period and a 37-yarder early in the final quarter. Alabama specialist Danny Ridgeway countered Bahr’s boots with field goals of 25 and 28 yards. Bahr’s first field goal with 4:33 left in the third quarter tied the game at 3-3, but Alabama came right back with an 80-yard drive for what proved to be the winning touchdown. The game wasn’t decided until Alabama stopped the Lions on a fourth-and-one try from the Penn State 39-yard line with 1:19 to play. Alabama Penn State

Meeting Notre Dame for the first time since 1928, a 30 turnover deficit proved to be Penn State’s undoing as the Irish posted a 20-9 victory. It was apparent in the early going that the teams were evenly matched and breaks would be the determining factor. After Penn State took an early 3-0 lead that Notre Dame erased with a first-quarter touchdown, the Irish used a turnover and solid offense to outscore the Lions, 13-0, in the second period, cruise to a 20-3 halftime lead and never relinquish their hold. Penn State out-gained the Irish, 274-273, led by the rushing tandem of Bob Torrey and Matt Suhey. Quarterback Chuck Fusina hit 14 of 33 passes for 118 yards, including Penn State’s only touchdown, an eightyard strike to Suhey in the fourth quarter. Jimmy Cefalo made five catches for 60 yards and had three carries for 18 yards to earn Penn State Outstanding Player-of-theGame honors. All-America linebacker Kurt Allerman made a game-high 16 tackles. Notre Dame Penn State

A then-record Fiesta Bowl crowd was treated to an exciting shootout between two of the nation’s finest teams, with Penn State winning the showdown against hometown Arizona State, 42-30, to cap an 11-1 season. The Lions won their first of six Fiesta Bowls (without a loss), with an opportunistic kicking game, a grinding second-half running game, an alert defense and some big plays by Jimmy Cefalo. Penn State led, 17-14, at halftime despite being held to 45 yards rushing. Joe Lally returned a blocked punt 21 yards for the first Lion touchdown, the fifth score by the punt return team in 1977. A 67-yard punt return by Cefalo then set up a 23-yard field goal by Matt Bahr. Penn State scored the third quarter’s only touchdown and out-slugged the Devils, 18-16, in a furious fourth quarter, with Matt Suhey’s two-yard TD run with three minutes left providing some breathing room. Steve Geise led all rushers with 111 yards, while Bob Torrey added 107 on only nine carries, marking the only time Penn State has had two runners crack the century mark in a bowl. Suhey added 76 yards, helping the Lions to a 268-90 edge on the ground. Matt Millen made 18 tackles to capture Outstanding Defensive Player honors. Arizona State Penn State

A goal-line stand by Alabama in the fourth quarter was the key in depriving Penn State of its first national championship. The Lions, 11-0 during the regular-season and ranked first in the polls entering the Sugar Bowl in the Louisiana Superdome, twice came up short from inside the one-yard line as No. 2 Alabama hung on for a 14-7 win and the national title. In one of the greatest defensive games ever played for the national title, the hitting was ferocious on both sides. Alabama posted the first half’s only score with eight seconds left, on a 30-yard pass from Jeff Rutledge to Bruce Bolton, who made what appeared to be a diving, spectacular catch in the end zone for a 7-0 halftime lead. Photographs and video would later reveal the ball had bounced on the turf before Bolton caught it. The Lions capitalized midway through the third quarter. Pete Harris intercepted a Rutledge pass on the Alabama 48yard line and Chuck Fusina passed 17 yards to Scott Fitzkee to tie the score. But, ‘Bama’s Lou Inker returned a punt 62 yards to the Penn State 11 and Major Ogilvie’s eight-yard TD run gave the Tide a 14-7 lead later in the stanza. With about seven minutes to play, Matt Millen forced a fumble which Joe Lally recovered at the Alabama 19. On second-and-goal at the six, Fusina hit Fitzkee near the flag, but as he turned to cross the goal line, Don McNeal knocked him out two feet from the stripe. Matt Suhey’s dive on third down was six inches short and on fourth down, Mike Guman was stopped short by Barry Krauss and the Tide defense in one of the memorable defensive stands in college football history. On Penn State’s final possession, the Nittany Lions drove to the Alabama 41yard line, but the Tide defense held again to seal the win. Alabama Penn State

Herb Menhardt’s 20-yard field goal with 18 seconds remaining lifted Penn State to a 9-6 win over Tulane in the 21st Annual Liberty Bowl in Memphis. The win was the first in a string of five consecutive bowl victories for the Nittany Lions. After a scoreless first quarter, the Penn State offense got untracked early in the second period. Quarterback Frank Rocco directed the Lions on a 13-play, 68-yard drive that culminated with a 33-yard Menhardt field goal for a 30 lead. Rocco was starting for the first time in 1979, replacing 11-game starter Dayle Tate, who suffered a shoulder injury in the Pittsburgh game earlier in the month. A 63yard drive culminated in a 27-yard Menhardt trey later in the period for a 6-0 halftime lead. Tulane tied the game with a pair of fourth-quarter field goals, the latter coming with less than three minutes to play. With just under 50 seconds left and the Lions at the 50, assistant coach Bob Phillips suggested a halfback option, which worked to near perfection. Rocco pitched out to Joel Coles, who pulled up on a sweep around the left side and threw a 39-yard pass to a wide open Tom Donovan, to set up Menhardt’s game-winner. Penn State out-gained Tulane 337 to 202 and limited the Green Wave to minus-eight yards rushing. Matt Suhey posted a 19-carry, 112-yard day for the Lions. Tulane Penn State

Buoyed by a field goal in the final 10 seconds of the first half, Penn State played a superb second half in a satisfying 31-19 victory over Ohio State in Fiesta Bowl X in front of a record crowd of 66,738. The contest remains the Lions’ only bowl game against a Big Ten opponent. After Curt Warner’s 64-yard touchdown run on the first play of the game, Ohio State used Art Schlichter’s super passing to grab a 19-7 lead before Herb Menhardt’s 38-yard field goal with eight seconds left in the half made it 19-10. Schlichter was 15-of-22 for 244 yards and three touchdowns in the first half. Like many Joe Paterno teams in bowl games, the Lions made adjustments at the break and dominated the second half. On their first possession of the third quarter, Todd Blackledge directed a 75-yard drive, scoring from three yards to cut the lead to 19-17. After holding the Buckeyes to zero yards in the third stanza, Jon Williams scored on a four-yard run early in the final quarter and Booker Moore’s 37-yard run climaxed an 85-yard drive and sealed the 10-2 campaign. Schlichter was 5-of-13 for 58 yards in the second half as the Lions frustrated Earl Bruce’s squad. Penn State outgained the Buckeyes 468 to 412, including a school bowl record 351 yards rushing. Warner had 18 carries for 155 yards, to establish a Nittany Lion bowl record, and one touchdown to earn the Outstanding Offensive Player Award and Frank Case earned both the Outstanding Defensive Player and Sportsmanship awards.

Penn State rode its rugged defense to a dominating 26-10 victory over Southern California in the first Fiesta Bowl game played on New Year’s Day. Making its second consecutive appearance in Tempe, Penn State held the Trojans to 60 yards rushing and only three offensive points in the win. Curt Warner stole the spotlight from USC’s Heisman Trophy-winning running back Marcus Allen, gaining 145 yards with two touchdowns to Allen’s 85 yards on 30 carries and no touchdowns, his lowest output of the season. For the second straight year in Tempe, Warner scored the first time he touched the ball, reaching paydirt from 17 yards out for a 7-0 lead as he became the only player to be selected the Fiesta’s Offensive Player-of-the-Game two straight years. A 52-yard scoring strike from Todd Blackledge to Gregg Garrity gave the Lions the lead for good in the second quarter and Warner added a 21-yard scoring burst in the third. The Lions outgained the Trojans 393 to 262, recording 11 tackles for loss, including six sacks. Penn State concluded a 10-2 season and earned the No. 3 national ranking, playing opponents with a cumulative record of 82-37-2 (68.6), including six teams ranked among the nation’s top 20.

1983 SUGAR: January 1, 1983 A mid-year loss to Alabama could have proven devastating, but instead, Penn State rallied to win its last six games, rising to No. 2 in the polls, and garnering a national title matchup with unbeaten and No. 1 Georgia in the 1983 Sugar Bowl. The Sugar Bowl had not been kind to Penn State with the Lions going 0-3 in New Orleans, but on this day those prior games were forgotten, as Penn State defeated the Bulldogs, 27-23, to post an 11-1 record and earn its first National Championship after several near-misses under Joe Paterno. Penn State jumped to a 7-0 lead, scoring in the first three minutes of the game. On consecutive plays, Todd Blackledge drilled a 33-yard pass to Mike McCloskey and found Gregg Garrity for 27 yards to the Georgia nine-yard line. Curt Warner’s two-yard run around left end gave the Lions a lead they would not relinquish. Following a Georgia field goal, treys of 38 and 45 yards by Nick Gancitano sandwiched a nine-yard Warner TD run for a 20-3 lead with less than a minute left in the half. The Bulldogs responded with just five seconds remaining in the half on a 10-yard TD pass to Herman Archie. Georgia then took the second-half kickoff and drove 69 yards to score on Herschel Walker’s one-yard run, to cut the margin to 20-17. With Warner bothered by leg cramps, the offense struggled in the third period, but early in the fourth quarter Blackledge faked to Warner and threw a perfect 47-yard strike to Garrity, who made a sensational diving catch in the end zone. The play, featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated, will forever be remembered as one of the glorious moments in Penn State history. A fumbled punt set up a Georgia touchdown with 4:54 to play, but the Lion defense stuffed Walker on the two-point try to make the score 27-23. With two minutes left, Blackledge found Garrity for a first down on third down and the Lions ran out the clock, hoisting Paterno on their shoulders with his right index finger raised in another of the significant moments in Lion history. “Penn State No. 1!” shouted long-time Nittany Lion radio announcer Fran Fisher to his audience, trying to be heard above the din of the delirious blue and white clad fans who were finally able to celebrate a National Championship. For the second consecutive bowl, Warner out-gained the Heisman Trophy winner, rushing for 117 yards on 18 attempts and two scores, gaining 63 gutsy yards in the second half despite the leg cramps, while Walker tallied 103 yards on 28 carries. Blackledge was 13-of-23 for 228 yards to earn MVP honors. Georgia Penn State

1983 ALOHA: December 26, 1983 Penn State tied an NCAA record with its fifth consecutive bowl victory, edging Washington, 13-10, in the 1983 Aloha Bowl, thanks to excellent punting, outstanding defense and a clutch fourth-quarter scoring drive. The defense held potent Washington without a touchdown, but Danny Greene’s 57-yard punt return for a score midway through the second quarter loomed as the key play of the game, with the Huskies holding a 10-3 lead at the start of the final quarter. Lion punter George Reynolds, whose 47.7-yard punting average on seven kicks earned him Defensive Playerof-the-Game honors, booted a 50-yard punt to the Washington 16 late in the third quarter. The defense held and the offense answered with Nick Gancitano’s 49-yard field goal to trail, 106, early in the final stanza. Reynolds’ next punt went to the Washington six, the defense held again, and after the ensuing punt to the Penn State 38, Kevin Baugh handed off to Kenny Jackson on a reverse for one first down. Doug Strang then hit Baugh for 16 yards to the Huskie four and tailback D.J. Dozier took the pitch over the right side for a two-yard touchdown with three minutes to play for a 13-10 victory. The Lions gained just 213 yards, but the defense held the Huskies to 279 and Reynolds’ punting proved to be a key in keeping Penn State in the game. Washington Penn State

1986 ORANGE: January 1, 1986 Oklahoma’s defense turned in an outstanding effort and the Sooners made two big offensive plays for a 25-10 victory over Penn State in the 1985 Orange Bowl’s national title battle. The Nittany Lions, 11-0 and No. 1, also played well defensively against Oklahoma’s wishbone, allowing just 12 first downs. The No. 2 Sooners relied on the big play — a 71-yard TD pass from Jamelle Holieway to tight end Keith Jackson on third-and-24 and a game-clinching 61-yard touchdown run by Lydell Carr — plus four Tim Lashar field goals to win. The loss was Penn State’s first in the Orange Bowl after three victories. Penn State took a 7-0 lead on its first possession. John Shaffer drove the Lions 62 yards, capped by a Tim Manoa one-yard touchdown run. But, the Sooners would score 16 unanswered points. Despite four turnovers, the Lions trailed just 19-10 as Massimo Manca attempted a 26-yard field with 2:46 to play. Manca’s kick was no good and a minute later Carr’s long TD run sealed the crown for the Sooners. Penn State could muster just 14 first downs and 267 yards against a defense which had held opponents to less than 200 yards during the regular-season. Oklahoma Penn State

1987 FIESTA: January 2, 1987 Linebacker Pete Giftopoulos thrust his 233-pound frame between Vinny Testaverde and a possible winning touchdown in the waning seconds of the 1987 Fiesta Bowl, intercepting Testaverde’s final pass at the Lions’ one-yard line to preserve Penn State’s 14-10 victory over No. 1 Miami (Fla.) and earn the underdog Nittany Lions their second National Championship in four years. In one of the most memorable National Championship games ever, the No. 2 Nittany Lions intercepted Testaverde, the Heisman Trophy winner, five times to frustrate the Hurricanes and earn their second 12-0 season, culminating Penn State’s celebration of 100 years of football. Unbeaten Miami rolled up 22 first downs and 445 yards to eight first downs and 162 yards for the Lions but, the Hurricanes could not convert yards into points against a staunch Penn State defense that was no stranger to adversity. Miami’s only touchdown came in the second quarter. Hit as he was passing, John Shaffer fumbled and the Hurricanes recovered at the Lion 23. Four plays later, Melvin Bratton went over from the one for a 7-0 lead. Penn State immediately answered with its only sustained drive of the game, going 74 yards in 13 plays. One of the big plays was a 23-yard pass from Shaffer to Eric Hamilton on third-and 12. Tim Manoa also had a 19-yard run and caught a 12-yard pass. Shaffer rolled around the right side four yards into the end zone with 1:14 left in the half and Massimo Manca’s PAT made it 7-7 at the break. Miami regained the lead early in the fourth quarter on a 38-yard field goal by Mark Seelig. All-America linebacker Shane Conlan, who was hobbled by knee and ankle injuries, who had grabbed a third-quarter interception, did it again, intercepting Testaverde’s toss and returning it 39 yards to the Hurricanes’ five. After a heart-stopping firstdown fumbled snap was recovered by Keith Radecic, D.J. Dozier, who had 99 yards rushing on the night, got the most important six yards of his collegiate career when he darted through a gaping hole for the go-ahead touchdown with 8:13 to play. Manca’s conversion pushed the Penn State margin to 14-10. Trey Bauer forced a fumble on the Hurricanes’ next drive, but Miami had one threat left. Starting from their own 23 with 3:07 remaining, a fourth-down completion from Testaverde to Bennie Blades gained 31 yards and propelled the Hurricanes across midfield. With 18 seconds remaining, Miami had a fourth-and-goal at the Penn State 13-yard line. Testaverde tested the Lions’ secondary one more time, looking for Brett Perriman in the end zone, but his pass came to rest in the arms of Giftopoulos, who cradled his second theft of the night and a Penn State National Championship as he fell on the ball after returning it to the 10-yard line with just nine seconds to play in another of the greatest moments in Lion football history. More than 70 million people watched the prime-time telecast on NBC, breaking the previous record for a college football telecast.

1988 CITRUS: January 1, 1988 Clemson successfully blended the expected with the unexpected to post a 35-10 conquest of Penn State in the 1988 Florida Citrus Bowl, the first-ever meeting between the two schools. The Tigers rushed for 285 yards and quarterback Danny Williams threw for an uncharacteristic 214 yards (15-of-24) in the Nittany Lions’ first appearance in Orlando. The Lions played without leading rusher and receiver Blair Thomas, who suffered a serious knee injury in an early December practice which would sideline him for the 1988 season. He had rushed for 1,414 yards and 11 touchdowns in 1987. Freshmen Leroy Thompson and Gary Brown posted 106 yards from the tailback position in Thomas’ absence. Thompson, who rushed for 55 yards and added 146 more on pass receptions (19) and kickoff returns (127), was voted the Lions’ offensive MVP with 201 all-purpose yards. Penn State’s touchdown came on a perfect 39-yard pass from Matt Knizner to Mike Alexander that tied the issue at 7-7 in the second quarter. The Tigers led 14-7 at halftime but, Penn State cut it to 14-10 on a 27-yard field goal by Eric Etze early in the third stanza. Clemson responded with a TD and added two more scores in the fourth period to hand the Lions their worst bowl loss. Senior linebacker Trey Bauer, who had six stops, three tackles for losses and a quarterback sack, was Penn State’s defensive MVP. Clemson Penn State

1989 HOLIDAY: December 29, 1989 In a game which featured explosive offense on both sides, two freak defensive plays decided the issue between Penn State and Brigham Young in the 1989 Holiday Bowl, which lived up to its reputation for plenty of scoring and wild finishes. By the time Penn State’s highoctane 50-39 victory over BYU was finished, 41 post-season records had either been surpassed or equaled by the teams in the four-hour, 17-minute marathon. The Lions and Cougars put 89 points on the scoreboard, including an NCAA bowl record 64 in the second half; gained 1,115 total offensive yards; rolled up 61 first downs; and punted only three times. Andre Collins, the Lions’ All-America linebacker, made the first of the decisive defensive plays after the Cougars had closed to within 41-39 with 2:58 remaining. Collins intercepted Ty Detmer’s two-point conversion pass attempt and returned it 100-plus yards to score two for the Lions, the first time they had tallied in such a fashion since the rule was introduced in 1988. On the ensuing BYU series, Hero Gary Brown blitzed past Outland Trophy-winner Mohammed Elewonibi to steal the ball from Detmer as he prepared to pass and returned it 53 yards for the touchdown in the final minute that secured the wild and wacky win. Among the flood of big plays earlier in the game was a spectacular, 52-yard TD catch by David Daniels, who leapt high in the air to grab Tony Sacca’s aerial at the goal line, was hit, juggled and caught the ball as he landed on his back in the end zone for one of the superlative catches in school history. Penn State tailback Blair Thomas, playing his final game, broke the school bowl rushing record with 186 yards on 35 carries, one a seven-yard scoring run, and shared Player-of-the-Game honors with Detmer, who was 42-of-59 for an NCAA bowl record 576 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Thomas also gained 46 additional yards on a pair of pass receptions for 232 allpurpose yards. The 64 second half points (Penn State, 38 and BYU, 26) remain tied for the NCAA bowl record, while the combined 61 first downs by both squads also are an NCAA bowl mark. The Lions played on the West Coast for the first time since a 1973 visit to Stanford. Brigham Young Penn State

1990 BLOCKBUSTER: December 28, 1990 The inaugural Blockbuster Bowl wasn’t being played on New Year’s Day, but was one of the most intriguing post-season contests, pitting No. 7 Penn State and No. 6 Florida State and their legendary coaches, Joe Paterno and Bobby Bowden. After spotting the Seminoles 10 points in the first eight minutes of the game, Penn State applied pressure the rest of the way before finally bowing, 24-17, in a marquee matchup of 9-2 independents at Joe Robbie Stadium. With Florida State leading, 24-10, senior quarterback Tom Bill came off the bench to ignite a 62-yard scoring drive in three plays, finding Terry Smith behind the secondary for a 37-yard touchdown with 6:27 to play. But two Penn State drives later came up empty, including an interception at the one-yard line with less than three minutes to play. Penn State’s other touchdown was scored on a 56yard pass from Tony Sacca to David Daniels in the first quarter, but the Lions could not overcome three interceptions, a partially blocked punt which led to the Seminoles’ first TD and a blocked field goal.

1992 FIESTA: January 1, 1992 For two and one-half quarters, Fiesta Bowl XXI had all the earmarks of a Tennessee Waltz. But, in a furious eightminute span in the second half, Penn State turned up the beat and buried the bewildered Volunteers, 42-17, beneath an avalanche of big plays on both sides of the ball in the first of what stretched to eight consecutive January bowl visits. Penn State grabbed an early 7-0 lead, recovering a fumble on the opening kickoff and converting three plays later when Sam Gash scored on a 10-yard pass from Tony Sacca. At halftime, Tennessee had 17 first downs and 324 yards, while Penn State had just five first downs and 59 yards, but the Vols only led 10-7. Vols’ quarterback Andy Kelly, who was 16-of-26 for 204 yards in the opening half, hit Cory Fleming on a 44-yard score on the initial possession of the third stanza for a 17-7 lead. A 39-yard punt return by O.J. McDuffie ignited the Lions and Sacca found Chip LaBarca on a three-yard scoring toss to cut the margin to 17-14 with 2:56 left in the third period. No one among the crowd of 71,133 was prepared for the onslaught which followed. On Tennessee’s second play after the score, Tyoka Jackson stripped Kelly of the ball and recovered at the Vol 13. On the ensuing play Sacca hit Kyle Brady and suddenly the Lions had a 21-17 lead. On the Vols’ second play, Reggie Givens’ interception set up a two-yard run by Richie Anderson early in the fourth quarter. On Tennessee’s next play, Derek Bochna hit Kelly and Givens grabbed the ball and ran it in from 23 yards. In less than four minutes Penn State had scored 28 points to take a 35-17 lead. Tennessee managed to run three plays before punting on its next possession and the Lions sealed the win with a 37-yard TD strike from Sacca to McDuffie, giving them five scores in less than eight minutes. Sacca set a Penn State bowl record with four touchdown passes and McDuffie caught four passes for 78 yards and a touchdown and had 71 yards on punt returns to earn

Most Valuable Offensive Player honors. Linebacker Keith Goganious recorded a game-high 15 tackles, but Givens earned Defensive MVP accolades. Punter Doug Helkowski set Fiesta Bowl records with his nine punts for a 47.9 yard average as State finished 11-2 and No. 3 in the polls.

1993 BLOCKBUSTER: January 1, 1993 Stanford proved it was one of the nation’s top teams as it raced past the Nittany Lions, 24-3, in the 1993 Blockbuster Bowl, ending a Penn State string of four straight wins over Pac-10 teams in post-season games. Stanford, the Pac-10 co-champions with Washington, moved 71 yards in eight plays with the opening kickoff to score all the points the Cardinal would need in Joe Robbie Stadium. A 33-yard V.J. Muscillo field goal made it 7-3 at the end of the first quarter, but Stanford led, 14-3, at halftime and added 10 points in the third quarter. Stanford tallied 365 yards to Penn State’s 263. AllAmerican O.J. McDuffie made six catches for 111 yards and Richie Anderson carried the ball 13 times for 40 yards as the Lions were held to their second-lowest point total in a bowl game.

1994 CITRUS: January 1, 1994 A Citrus Bowl record crowd of 72,456 was treated to the Nittany Lions’ strongest effort of the season, a 31-13 knockout of sixth-ranked Tennessee. The hard-earned and satisfying victory capped a 10-2 season and vaulted Penn State to another top 10 finish. Trailing, 10-0, Penn State retaliated with tailback KiJana Carter bursting for a three-yard score. The key play was a 36-yard strike from quarterback Kerry Collins to Bobby Engram. The momentum continued to swing in the Lions’ favor on Tennessee’s next possession, as Tyoka Jackson tipped a Heath Shuler pass which Lee Rubin snared just inches above the turf. Engram then made a 16yard reception and gained 35 yards on a reverse. Craig Fayak’s 19-yard field goal knotted the score at 10-10. Tennessee tallied its final points of the afternoon with a field goal, but Penn State had its two-minute offense humming late in the first half. Passes to Engram and Brian O’Neal took the ball to the Vol 14-yard line with :10 left. With the majority of the packed stadium expecting a pass, offensive coordinator Fran Ganter called Carter’s number and he swept left and hurtled behind an Engram block into the end zone with just three ticks left on the clock to stun the crowd. Fayak’s PAT kick put the Lions on top for good, 17-13, capping what may have been the game’s most pivotal play. A seven-yard pass from Collins to Kyle Brady made it 24-13 in the third quarter and Engram made a 15-yard TD catch to close the scoring. Engram made seven catches for 107 yards and his 184 all-purpose yards made him the overwhelming choice as the Offensive MVP, while Rubin was the Defensive MVP. Collins was 15-of-24 passing for 162 yards

1995 ROSE: January 2, 1995 In a landmark season, the Nittany Lions brought proper closure to a magnificent 1994 campaign by beating Oregon, 38-20, in the Rose Bowl, Penn State’s first appearance in the “Granddaddy of Them All” since the 1923 contest. Having won their first Big Ten Championship in their second year of conference play, the Lions became the first Big Ten squad ever to earn a 12-0 record and the first Conference team to earn an unblemished record since Ohio State in 1968. Despite the 12-0 record and having been ranked No. 1 in late October, the Lions finished No. 2 to Nebraska in the final polls, marking the fourth time a Paterno-led team had gone unbeaten but not won the national title. In a microcosm of a brilliant season, Heisman Trophy runnerup Ki-Jana Carter flashed through the line on Penn State’s first play from scrimmage, bounced off a defender and burst into the lush green carpet for an 83-yard score in the game’s initial five minutes. The Rose Bowl throng of 102,247 rose in unison as Carter raced toward the end zone in front of the frenzied Blue and White backers. Just as they had done so many times in 1994, the Nittany Lions’ startling offensive prowess delivered an early lead and a dagger to the spirit of the opposition.

The Lions, though, were confronted by a relentless Oregon squad, which gained a 14-14 tie in the third quarter before Penn State pulled away for the 38-20 victory. The significance of the win in Pasadena stretched in many directions: Penn State earned its fifth unbeaten, untied season under Joe Paterno and its third 12-0 campaign; Paterno became college football’s all-time winningest bowl coach with his 16th post-season win and became the first coach in college football history to win the traditional four major bowls. Carter rushed for 156 yards on 21 carries and three touchdowns, sharing Rose Bowl Co-Most Valuable Player honors with Duck quarterback Danny O’Neil, who set six Rose records with his 41-of-61 effort for 456 yards and two scores. Carter’s 83-yard run was the longest of his career, Penn State’s longest in a bowl game and the third-longest in Rose Bowl history. Lion quarterback Kerry Collins concluded his brilliant season with a 19-of-30 display for 200 yards, setting a school completion mark for a bowl game and fullbacks Brian Milne and Jon Witman each tallied once. The offensive fireworks by both squads produced 13 Rose Bowl records and tied two others. Penn State also eclipsed seven individual and two team school bowl records. Oregon Penn State

1996 OUTBACK: January 1, 1996 Facing a new opponent, in a new bowl, the Penn State Nittany Lions were determined to send a superb class of 21 seniors out in a familiar fashion. Playing in its first Outback Bowl, a strong finish was the precursor to a solid bowl effort, as the Nittany Lions played arguably their finest game of the year in crushing Auburn, 43-14, to finish 9-3. Penn State seized control of the Outback with a Wally Richardson to Mike Archie touchdown pass with :05 left in the first half for a 16-7 lead and then deluged the Tigers with an unanswered 27-point avalanche in the third quarter. Outback and school bowl records were being broken and tied by the Lions as quickly as the rain was turning the Tampa Stadium turf into a quagmire. A group of seniors who were the backbone of Penn State’s impressive 31-5 record the past three seasons again led the way in their final game. Archie ran for 41 yards in addition to his big touchdown catch. Stephen Pitts rushed for 118 yards and also made a touchdown reception. Fullback Brian Milne rushed for a career-best 82 yards. The senior offensive line quartet of Keith Conlin, Jeff Hartings, Andre Johnson and Marco Rivera dominated the line of scrimmage, helping the Lions rush for 266 yards and pass for 221 with no sacks. Terry Killens recorded a pair of sacks to spark the defense. And then there was Bobby Engram. The three-time All-American concluded his career the Lions’ all-time greatest receiver with another typically superlative effort, earning game MVP honors for the second time in a bowl. He made four catches, three of which were typically spectacular, for 113 yards and two scores. Just as he had demolished the school’s career receiving records, the 1994 Biletnikoff Award winner did so with Penn State’s career bowl receiving marks. His two TD catches also broke the school bowl standard, giving the dynamic player 13 records. Auburn Penn State

1997 Fiesta: January 1, 1997 Penn State improved to 6-0 in Tempe with a 38-15 win over Big 12 champion Texas in the 1997 Fiesta Bowl. Gaining only 95 yards while allowing 242, Penn State was fortunate to trail the Longhorns only 12-7 at halftime, having quickly scored after a Mark Tate interception on the game’s second play. The defense had stiffened twice inside the 15-yard line, holding Texas to a pair of field goals and one touchdown. As the Lions have done so many times under Joe Paterno, they made adjustments at the break and then dominated the last 30 minutes. Freshman Kenny Watson took the second-half kickoff 81 yards, a school bowl record, to inside the Texas 20. A five-yard Aaron Harris TD run and a two-point pass from Wally Richardson to Curtis Enis provided a 15-12 lead less than three minutes into the half. Texas gained a 15-15 tie midway through the stanza, but the momentum clearly was swinging in Penn State’s direction. On its next drive, Enis scored from two yards. The defense held and on second down, Chafie Fields took a double reverse 84 yards to the Texas five-yard line, the longest run in school and Fiesta Bowl history. Anthony Cleary cracked over for a 28-15 margin and the Lions never looked back, out-scoring Texas, 31-3, in the second half. The Lions out-gained the Longhorns 330-118 in the second half, including a whopping 292 to minus-19 yard edge on the ground. Richardson completed his tenure with a 21-5 record as a starter as the 16 seniors closed their careers with a 42-7 record and four bowl victories.. Texas Penn State

1998 FLORIDA CITRUS: January 1, 1998 With their schools meeting for the first time since the 1962 Gator Bowl, Joe Paterno and Steve Spurrier, matched wits for the first time in the 1998 Florida Citrus Bowl. The normally pass-happy Gators stuck primarily to the ground and posted a 21-6 victory. Playing without starters Curtis Enis and Joe Jurevicius, the Lions struggled offensively, but the defense kept Penn State within striking range after the Gators took a quick 14-0 lead. Jim Nelson collected an interception at the Penn State four-yard line to stop a Florida drive late in the first stanza. On the Gators’ next possession, Shawn Lee returned an interception 33 yards to the Florida 31. The Lions moved the ball to the seven, but had to settle for a Travis Forney field goal. The defense and special teams made two huge plays to give Penn State first-and-goal chances in the second quarter. Brandon Short knocked the ball away from Gator QB Doug Johnson and after a wild scramble, Short recovered at the Gators’ six. But, on fourth-andinches, Chris Eberly was stopped short of the goal line. The defense held and Kenny Watson delivered a 52yard punt return to the Florida six with 1:14 left in the half. Again, the Lions were faced with fourth-and-one, but Mike McQueary’s pass was picked off in the end zone, denying Penn State its best opportunities for touchdowns. A Forney field goal made it 14-6 entering the fourth quarter, but Florida scored on the second play of the stanza to end the scoring. Gator tailback Fred Taylor set Citrus Bowl records with 43 carries for 234 yards, most ever for a Lion foe in a bowl game. The Lions could muster only nine first downs and 139 yards in offense, the lowest in Paterno’s tenure. The 16 Lion seniors completed their careers with a superb 41-8 (83.7) record.

1999 OUTBACK: January 1, 1999 Facing one of college football’s most talented players — the eventual No. 1 pick in the 1999 National Football League draft — the Penn State defense was superb in limiting the high-flying Kentucky Wildcats to only two scores in a decisive 26-14 Outback Bowl victory before a soldout crowd of 66,005 in the new Raymond James Stadium. Joe Paterno led the Lions to their eighth straight January bowl game and improved his NCAA record for bowl victories to 19. While Heisman Trophy finalist Tim Couch did pass for 336 yards, it took him a whopping 48 attempts to do so. The Lion defense intercepted him twice, sacked him five times and had numerous near-sacks and hurries. Kentucky broke out to an early 14-3 lead, but in the second quarter, Penn State made adjustments and scored 10 unanswered points to cut the lead to 14-13. A 56-yard TD pass from QB Kevin Thompson to Joe Nastasi preceded three Travis Forney field goals. Forney also had made a trey in the first quarter, breaking the Outback and school bowl records with four field goals. Despite dominating the second and third quarters, the Lions only led 19-14 entering the final period. But, the defense, which had gotten a blocked field goal from LaVar Arrington in the third quarter, stuffed the Wildcats on fourth-and-one at the Kentucky 34. Several plays later, Chafie Fields took his second reverse of the game 19 yards to paydirt for the final 26-14 margin. As it had done all season, the defense led the way, paced by Anthony King’s 11 tackles, two interceptions

124

and a fumble recovery. Courtney Brown made the seven stops, including four for loss, and two sacks on consecutive plays in the final period to earn game MVP honors. Kentucky Penn State

1999 ALAMO: December 28, 1999 Their resolve was firm. A team that was in position to play for the National Championship in early November was looking to finish the season on a positive note after three straight narrow losses to end the regular-season. Facing Texas A&M in the Alamo Bowl, 25 seniors were playing their final game, a victory would give Joe Paterno another 10-win season, and defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky was coaching his final game after 32 years and 381 games on the staff. Penn State Pride was overflowing on the Alamodome turf, as the Nittany Lions turned in a marvelous defensive performance to record a 24-0 blanking of the Aggies. The whitewash was the Lions’ 20th since Sandusky became defensive coordinator in 1977. Finishing 10-3, the Lions won at least 10 games for the 18th time under Paterno and earned the No. 11 ranking in the final Associated Press and USA Today/ESPN Coaches polls. The game was Paterno’s 30th bowl contest, breaking a tie with “Bear” Bryant for appearances. The all-time bowl wins leader improved his post-season record to 20-9-1. On A&M’s first scrimmage play, All-American LaVar Arrington set the tone, as he chased QB Randy McCown and hit him as he threw, with David Macklin making the first of four Lion interceptions at the A&M 40-yard line.

On A&M’s second possession, Derek Fox collected a McCown pass at the A&M 34, and weaved his way to the end zone for a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter. With Kevin Thompson sidelined by a shoulder injury, quarterback Rashard Casey made his first career start. He fired a 45-yard TD strike to Eddie Drummond for a 140 lead. Early in the second half, the Aggies advanced to the Lions’ 14. But, on third down, Arrington tipped McCown’s pass and Ron Graham grabbed it at the eight to thwart another drive. Arrington flattened McCown to halt A&M’s last drive and Casey quickly had the Lions on the move. A 34-yard completion to John Gilmore took the pigskin to the A&M 26. A 20-yard completion to Tony Stewart set up Casey’s four-yard naked bootleg on the first play of the fourth quarter for a 21-0 lead. On the ensuing kickoff, Askari Adams forced a fumble which was recovered by Shawn Mayer at the A&M 23. A 39-yard Travis Forney field goal made it 24-0. Texas A&M Penn State

2003 CAPITAL ONE: January 1, 2003 Penn State rode the momentum of four consecutive wins to close the regular-season into the 2003 Capital One Bowl against Auburn, but some missed offensive opportunities resulted in a difficult 13-9 loss. The Lions finished with a 9-4 record, with all four losses coming by seven points or less, including two in overtime, to teams that were ranked in the Top 15 of the final Associated Press poll (three in the Top 10). Anthony Adams forced an early fumble that Derek Wake pounced on at the Auburn 15-yard line. The

Lions had a first-and-goal at the four, but were forced to settle for a 21-yard field goal by Robbie Gould just 4:34 into the contest. The Tigers advanced to the Lions’ seven early in the second quarter, but Wake blocked a 34-yard field goal attempt, his fourth blocked kick of the year. Midway through the quarter, the Lions reached the Auburn 16, but Gould’s 33-yard field try was wide. Penn State’s next possession began at the Auburn 43 and the Lions moved to the 10, but again had to settle for a Gould field goal, a 27-yarder, for a 6-0 lead with 1:44 left in the half. Three trips inside the Auburn 20 had resulted in only six points, which would come back to haunt the Lions. Early in the second half, Auburn ran 13 consecutive times and Ronnie Brown’s one-yard run made it 76. Early in the fourth period, quarterback Michael Robinson completed a 34-yard pass to Tony Johnson and then scrambled 20 yards to the Auburn 19. Gould’s 31-yard field goal gave Penn State a 9-7 lead, but 10:10 still remained in the contest. A sack by John Bronson forced an Auburn punt, which the Tigers downed at the Penn State one. The Tigers forced a three-and-out and got excellent field position at the Penn State 40 with 5:04 to play. Brown carried the ball five straight times, the last one a 17yard touchdown burst with 2:19 to play for a 13-9 lead. Campbell’s two-point pass was incomplete. Zack Mills returned to the contest, but on third down, was intercepted by Roderick Hood and Auburn held on. Adams was superb, recording nine tackles (eight solo), including a sack, and the forced fumble to earn team Defensive MVP honors. Robinson earned team Offensive MVP honors. Auburn Penn State

2006 ORANGE: January 3, 2006 Freshman Kevin Kelly’s 29-yard field goal in the third overtime lifted Penn State to a thrilling 26-23 victory over Florida State in the FedEx Orange Bowl. The Nittany Lions’ fourth win in five Orange Bowl appearances gave them the No. 3 ranking in the final Associated Press and USA Today Coaches polls. The Lions (11-1) earned their 13th Top 5 finish under Joe Paterno, who improved his all-time bowl records for wins (21-10-1 record) and appearances (32). In a meeting of the two winningest major college coaches of all-time, Paterno gained one victory on his old friend Bobby Bowden, as both legends ended their 40th seasons as head coaches at 12:57 a.m., more than 4 1/2 hours after kickoff. Austin Scott carried five times for 57 yards on Penn State’s second drive and scored from two yards out for a 7-0 lead. Scott gained 110 yards on 26 carries and two scores, replacing an injured Tony Hunt. Two of the nation’s premier defenses then kept the other side in check until a wild final 4:09 of the second quarter. Florida State knotted the game at 7-7 on Willie Reid’s 87-yard punt return. Then Drew Weatherford hit Lorenzo Booker on a 57-yard TD pass. The extra point was missed, making it 13-7. The Lions quickly responded, as Big Ten MVP Michael Robinson lofted a 25-yard pass to Ethan Kilmer, who made a leaping catch over a defender for the TD with just :06 left in the half. Kelly’s extra point gave made it 14-13 at the half. The Penn State defense did not allow any points in the third period despite great field position for Florida State throughout the quarter. Jeremy Kapinos pinned Florida State deep as the fourth quarter began. Jim Shaw pressured Weatherford in the end zone, he threw the ball away and was called for intentional grounding, giving Penn State a safety and a 16-13 lead with 13:36 to play. Florida State later advanced to the Lions’ 29, but Penn State stiffened and Gary Cismesia hit a 48-yard field goal with 4:08 to play. A 38-yard completion from Robinson to Jordan Norwood took the ball to the Seminoles’ 11. With :32 left in regulation, Kelly’s 29-yard field goal attempt was wide, but he would later emerge as the hero. Robinson was 21-of-39 for 253 yards, accounting for 28 touchdowns during the season. The Lions held No. 22 Florida State to 26 yards rushing, 12 first downs and three-of-17 on third-down conversions. Linebacker Dan Connor made seven tackles, (two TFL) and defensive tackle Scott Paxson had six stops (1.5 TFL). Jay Alford made four hits, with 2.5 TFL, and forced a fumble deep to earn a spot on ESPN.com’s All-Bowl team. All-America cornerback Alan Zemaitis grabbed his Big Ten-leading sixth interception of the season (12th career).

2007 OUTBACK: January 1, 2007 Facing its fifth ranked opponent, Penn State played its most complete game of 2006 to defeat No. 17 Tennessee, 20-10, in the Outback Bowl, winning a New Year’s Day bowl game for the second consecutive year. Improving to 3-0 in the Outback Bowl, Penn State finished 9-4. The Nittany Lions were ranked in the final Top 25 polls for the 32nd time under Joe Paterno (No. 24 Associated Press; No. 25 USA Today Coaches). Penn State won its 22nd game in its last 27; 20-5 the past two years. The Lions held Tennessee to a season-low 10 points, 19.3 below its average, forced three turnovers, and did not turn the ball over. Once again, Penn State’s highly ranked defense and tailback Tony Hunt led the charge, as the Nittany Lions improved to 25-12-2 all-time in bowls. Tennessee became the 10th team, and seventh consecutive, to score 17 or fewer points against Penn State. Over the last five games, the Lions allowed just 36 points (7.2 avg.) with two shutouts. Over the last 25 quarters of the season, Penn State permitted just three touchdowns. Tennessee also became the eighth opponent held under 100 rushing yards during the season, gaining 83 yards.

Tony Hunt was spectacular in his final game as a Lion, rushing for 158 yards on a career-high tying 31 attempts to earn Outback Bowl Most Valuable Player honors. Hunt posted his eighth 100-yard game of 2006 (15th career). Hunt’s 158 yards were the second-highest of his career (167 vs. Temple) and the second-highest by a Lion in a bowl game (186, Blair Thomas vs. Brigham Young, 1989 Holiday Bowl). Hunt finished second on the Penn State career rushing charts with 3,320 yards and first all-time with 654 carries (5.08 avg.). He finished just 78 yards behind career leader Curt Warner’s total of 3,398 yards. A fumble recovery by Jim Shaw early in the second quarter set up a 34-yard field goal by Kevin Kelly to tie the game at 3-3. On its next possession, Penn State drove a season-best 92 yards, which included a 24-yard run by Hunt and a 31-yard pass from Anthony Morelli to Deon Butler. Morelli, who was a strong 14-of-25 for 197 yards with no interceptions, then hit tight end Andrew Quarless on a twoyard scoring toss for a 10-3 lead. The Vols scored late in the half to tie the game and it was 10-10 entering the fourth quarter, when the Lion defense delivered the game-changing play. On first down from the Nittany Lions’ 14, Dan Connor and Sean Lee crunched Tennessee’s Arian Foster and cornerback Tony Davis picked up the pigskin and flew 88 yards for the goahead TD with 10:01 to go. Penn State forced a three-and-out and Derrick Williams returned the punt 20 yards to the Volunteers’ 45. Hunt had seven consecutive carries, netting 39 yards, to set up a 22yard trey by Kelly, making it 20-10 with just 3:29 to play. All-American Paul Posluszny recorded eight tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss. He finished his career as Penn State’s all-time tackle leader with 372 and 12th all-time with 35 tackles for loss. Posluszny became the first player to lead Penn State in tackles three consecutive seasons and the first with a trio of 100-tackle campaigns. Junior All-American Connor led Penn State with 10 hits, moving into a tie for fifth in career tackles with 274. Tennessee Penn State

2007 ALAMO: December 29, 2007 Penn State overcame a 14-0 first-quarter deficit to defeat Texas A&M, 24-17, in the Valero Alamo Bowl in Joe Paterno’s 500th game as head coach of the Nittany Lions. The Nittany Lions (9-4) won their third consecutive bowl game, improving to 9-2 in post-season contests since beginning Big Ten Conference competition. Paterno improved to 23-10-1 in bowl games. Penn State won at least nine games for the 27th time under the Hall of Fame coach. Penn State was No. 25 in the USA Today Coaches poll, earning its 33rd Top 25 finish under Paterno. An Alamo Bowl record crowd of 66,166 was on hand in The Alamodome. The Nittany Lions have played in front of two of the three largest Alamo Bowl audiences, as 65,380 attended the 1999 game between Penn State and Texas A&M. The Nittany Lions overcame their largest deficit of the season, having trailed Purdue, 10-0, in a 26-19 win, and held the Aggies to just three points over the last three quarters. Penn State took the lead for good at 24-17 with :19 left in the third quarter on a 38-yard burst up the middle by redshirt freshman tailback Evan Royster. The run was Royster’s longest of the season. Early in the fourth quarter, Jeremy Boone boomed a 55-yard punt and Texas A&M’s Roger Holland was dropped at the Aggies’ one by A.J. Wallace and Justin King. But, Texas A&M proceeded to march downfield looking to tie the game. On fourth-and-one from the Penn State two, McGee ran the option to the right, but slipped and fell at the six, giving the ball back to the Lions, who used two possessions to run out the final 7:43. Junior linebacker Sean Lee recorded a game-high 14 tackles, with a TFL and a pass breakup, to earn Defensive MVP honors. Lee’s 14 stops tied the Alamo Bowl record, as he recorded double-figures in tackles for the 10th time in the season. His 138 tackles ranked No. 4 on the school season list. All-America linebacker Dan Connor recorded nine tackles to finish the season with 145 stops, passing Shawn Mayer’s 144 for second place on the Penn State season list. Connor’s 419 career tackles broke the school record. Safeties Mark Rubin and Anthony Scirrotto made eight tackles apiece and defensive end Maurice Evans had six stops and forced two fumbles. Linebacker Tyrell Sales also had six stops, including a big sack, and cornerback A.J. Wallace made five stops, grabbed his first career interception and had a huge fumble recovery to set up a score. Penn State ran for a season-high 270 yards, averaging 6.6 yards on its 41 carries. Rodney Kinlaw gained 143 yards on 21 attempts (6.8) for his third consecutive 100-yard game and sixth of the season. Royster gained 65 yards on nine carries (7.2) and reserve quarterback Daryll Clark gained 50 yards on just six attempts (8.3), including an 11-yard touchdown run.

Senior quarterback Anthony Morelli was 15-of-31 for 143 yards, including a 30-yard scoring strike to a diving Deon Butler to swing the momentum of the game. Wide receiver Derrick Williams made five catches for 39 yards and Butler had four receptions for 59 yards. All-Big Ten punter Boone had an outstanding game, averaging 51.4 yards on his five punts, with a long of 55 yards. His average was a Penn State bowl record and fourth-highest overall in school annals. Texas A&M Penn State

2009 ROSE: January 1, 2009 Sixth-ranked Penn State came into its Rose Bowl battle with No. 5 Southern California among the nation’s leaders in fewest penalties and turnovers, but mistakes proved costly as the Trojans captured a 38-24 win in the meeting between national powers. The Nittany Lions had season-highs with nine penalties for 72 yards, 62 in the first half, negating a turnover and a 45yard completion in USC territory early in the game. Penn State also had three turnovers after committing only 13 during the regular-season. Penn State, the 2008 Big Ten Champions, saw its threegame bowl winning streak snapped by USC, which took a 54 lead in the all-time series. Penn State finished 11-2, recording at least 11 wins for the 14th time under Coach Joe Paterno. The Hall of Fame coach lost a bowl game west of the Mississippi River for the first time after 13 victories without a defeat. He had been 5-0 against teams from the state of the bowl site, west of the Mississippi.

More than 30,000 Nittany Lion fans brought the famed Penn State “Whitehouse” to the Rose Bowl, staying in the game until the final gun. The total attendance was 93,293. The Nittany Lions gained 410 yards, the most by a USC opponent for the season, with Stanford having gained the previous high with 367 yards. Penn State became just the third team to score more than 20 points against the nation’s No. 1 scoring defense (7.8 ppg average), recording the second-highest number of points by a USC opponent. Junior quarterback Daryll Clark broke Penn State bowl records with 273 passing yards and 290 yards of total offense. The 2008 first-team All-Big Ten signal-caller, his 21 completions tied Michael Robinson’s mark from the 2006 Orange Bowl. Clark was 21-of-36, with two touchdowns and two interceptions, one of which came on the final play of the game, with Penn State at the USC 12-yard line. A semifinalist for the 2008 Davey O’Brien Award, Clark also ran for a nine-yard touchdown late in the first quarter to tie the game, 7-7. The runnerup for 2008 Big Ten MVP honors, he accounted for a school season-record 29 touchdowns, throwing for 19 and rushing for 10. Redshirt freshman tailback Stephfon Green saw extensive duty, as sophomore Evan Royster left the game late in the first quarter with a knee injury. Green led the Nittany Lions with 57 yards on 10 carries and five receptions for 67 yards, including a 30-yard play. Royster gained 34 yards on just six carries to finish the season with 1,236 yards, good for No. 10 on the Penn State season list. Senior Deon Butler made four catches for 97 yards and had another 45-yard first-quarter catch nullified by a penalty. He finished his career as Penn State’s career leader with 179 receptions, while his 2,771 yards were good for No. 2 on the school career list. Senior All-American Derrick Williams made four receptions for 34 yards, including a two-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter to pull the Lions within 31-14. Williams finished his career No. 3 on the school career receptions list with 161 and No. 10 on the career receiving yardage list at 1,743. A co-captain, Williams’ 4,156 career all-purpose yards are good for No. 5 on the Penn State list. Senior Jordan Norwood made three catches for 32 yards, including a nine-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter. He finished his career No. 4 on the Penn State career receptions list (158) and No. 3 on the school career receiving yardage list (2,015). Norwood’s three receptions also gave him 41 for the season, as he, Butler (47) and Williams (44) each eclipsed 40 or more receptions for the third consecutive season. Prior to 2006, the Nittany Lions had never had a trio of players with 40 or more catches in the same season. The Lions held USC to 61 net rushing yards, 145 yards below the Trojans’ season average. USC became the eighth team to fail to gain 100 rushing yards against Penn State. Sophomore linebacker Navorro Bowman made a school bowl-record five tackles for loss (minus-21), tying Andy Katzenmoyer’s Rose Bowl record from the 1997 game. Bowman had his fourth sack of the season among his eight tackles (seven solo), finishing the year with a team-best 106 tackles and 16.5 tackles for loss. Junior linebacker Josh Hull made a game-high nine tackles, including one for a five-yard loss. Senior Tony Davis made eight hits and recovered a fumble and senior Lydell Sargeant had seven tackles (six solo). Senior placekicker Kevin Kelly scored six points in the game with three PAT and a 25-yard field goal that moved him into fourth place all-time on the NCAA career overall scoring charts with 425 points. That mark also ranks second in Big Ten history, just one point shy of the record of 426 points held by Ron Dayne of Wisconsin (1996-99).

USC quarterback Mark Sanchez was 28-of-35 for 413 yards, with four touchdown passes, the most ever by an opposing player in a bowl game. His 413 yards were secondhighest in Rose Bowl history and the most against Penn State since Minnesota’s Tim Schade threw for 478 yards in 1993. On USC’s second possession, Sanchez hit Damian Williams on a 27-yard touchdown pass for a 7-0 lead with 4:12 left in the first quarter. The Nittany Lions took their ensuing possession 80 yards in nine plays to knot the score at 7-7. A 28-yard strike from Clark to Butler took the ball to the USC nine-yard line. On the next play, Clark barreled nine yards into the end zone on a draw play with :04 left in the opening period. Trailing, 24-7, Stephfon Green took a short screen pass and zipped 30 yards to near midfield, but fumbled as he was being hit and the Trojans recovered at their 42. Sanchez then connected with C.J. Gable on a 20-yard touchdown pass with just :36 to go for a 31-7 halftime lead. Kevin Kelly connected on his 78th career field goal, a 25yarder, to pull the Nittany Lions within 38-17 in the third quarter. Southern California Penn State

A four-year AllAmerican at the University of Chicago, he played fullback in football and second base in baseball. Bezdek enjoyed a 24-year collegiate coaching career in which he also served as head coach at Oregon (1906, 191317) and Arkansas (1908-12). His 1917 Oregon squad defeated Pennsylvania, 14-0, in the Rose Bowl. He later managed the Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball Club (191719). Bezdek, who died in 1952, was named to the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame in 1954 and the Helms Foundation College Hall of Fame in 1960. JOHN CAPPELLETTI The 1973 Heisman Trophy winner, John Cappelletti helped the Nittany Lions to a perfect 12-0 season and No. 5 national ranking in both of the major polls. A consensus All-American, Cappelletti rushed for 1,522 yards and 17 touchdowns in 1973. The Upper Darby, Pa., native put together three straight 200-yard rushing games in the final month of the season, including a high of 220 against North Carolina State. Cappelletti also received the Maxwell Trophy and was selected as Player-of-the-Year by ABC-TV, United Press International, the Philadelphia Sports Writers Association, the Walter Camp Foundation and the Washington Touchdown Club. He played in the Hula and Senior bowl games. Cappelletti’s career yardage total of 2,639 still ranks him No. 9 on the Lions’ all-time rushing list. His 1973 rushing total is fourth on the school season rushing list to Larry Johnson (2,087), Lydell Mitchell (1,567) and Ki-Jana Carter (1,539). Cappelletti still holds a number of Penn State ground-gaining records. A first-round draft choice of the National Football League Los Angeles Rams, Cappelletti played 10 seasons in the professional ranks, six in Los Angeles and four with the San Diego Chargers. He resides in Laguna Niguel, Cal., where he is active in sales and manufacturing activities. Cappelletti was inducted into the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame on December 7, 1993. KEITH DORNEY Keith Dorney, a two-time All-American at tackle for the Nittany Lions in 1977 and 1978, will be inducted into the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame in December.

An All-American in 1970, Jack Ham became the tenth Nittany Lion to be enshrined in the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame when he was inducted in 1990. Ham is the only Penn State product in both the college and professional football halls of fame. A nine-time All-Pro linebacker for the National Football League Pittsburgh Steelers, Ham was enshrined at Canton in 1988. As a senior co-captain in 1970, Ham had 91 tackles and intercepted four passes. He still shares a pair of defensive records for blocked punts: four in his career, three in his final season. He had 251 career tackles (143 solo). A second-round draft choice of the Steelers in 1971, Ham developed into one of the NFL’s most outstanding linebackers. He starred on all four of the Steelers’ Super Bowl championship teams and was the Defensive Player-of-the-Year in 1975.

His coaching career included stays at West Virginia Wesleyan and Washington University in St. Louis, before he returned to Penn State in 1928 as an assistant. Higgins was appointed the Lions’ head coach in 1930 and compiled a 91-57-11 record in 19 seasons. His 1947 team was unbeaten in the regularseason and tied Southern Methodist, 13-13, in the 1948 Cotton Bowl.

JOE PATERNO Joe Paterno’s induction into the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame took place on December 4, 2007, having been postponed from 2006 due to injuries he sustained in a sideline collision during a November game at Wisconsin. Paterno was scheduled to be among three legendary coaches to become the first active players or coaches inducted into the Hall of Fame. He joined active coaches Bobby Bowden and John Gagliardi as inductees. Paterno and Bowden received the Gold Medal — the Foundation’s highest and most prestigious honor — at the 2006 event via a video presentation. Paterno is the 21st member of the Penn State football family to gain induction into the Hall of Fame. From Brooklyn, N.Y., Paterno joined the Nittany Lions’ coaching staff in 1950 soon after his graduation from Brown University. He was named head coach in 1966, introducing his “Grand Experiment” and rapidly turning Penn State into one of the nation’s premier programs. Paterno has been selected the American Football Coaches Association Coach-of-theYear an unprecedented five times and has led the Nittany Lions to seven unbeaten, untied regular-seasons and two National Championships. MIKE REID

Penn State’s season and career touchdowns record-holder, Lydell Mitchell was inducted into the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame in 2004. LYDELL MITCHELL

DENNIS ONKOTZ

Penn State’s season and career touchdowns record-holder, Lydell Mitchell was inducted into the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame on December 7, 2004. A product of Salem, N.J., Mitchell was a standout running back from 1969-71, helping the Nittany Lions to a 29-4 record. He earned first-team All-America accolades and finished fifth in Heisman Trophy balloting in 1971 after breaking three NCAA season records — most touchdowns (29), most rushing TDs (26) and points scored (174). Mitchell ran for 1,567 yards in 1971, a school season record that stood for more than 30 years. He still holds Penn State records for touchdowns in a season (29), TDs in a career (41) and rushing TDs in a career (38) and his 246 career points scored rank fourth. Mitchell played in the National Football League with Baltimore (1972-77), San Diego (1978-79) and the Los Angeles Rams (1980). He is president of the Parks Sausage Company in Baltimore, Md., and part owner of Super Bakery, Inc.

One of only 12 Penn State players to be named first-team All-America in consecutive years, Dennis Onkotz was a defensive mainstay of the 1968-69 undefeated teams. A native of Northampton, Pa., Onkotz amassed 287 tackles, which still ranks third on the Lions’ career list. His 11 interceptions are tied for eighth in school history. His three interception returns for touchdowns are a career record (since tied by Darren Perry). A versatile athlete who also returned punts, Onkotz’s 13.2-yard average on 47 punt returns is No. 8 among the Nittany Lions’ best-ever in that department. Onkotz made the 1969 Academic All-America team and was selected to play in the 1970 Hula Bowl. Chosen by the New York Jets in the third round of the 1970 NFL draft, Onkotz was forced to retire from professional football because of a severely broken leg suffered in his rookie season. Now a financial planner with the Pennsylvania Financial Group, he lives in Boalsburg, Pa. Onkotz was inducted into the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame on December 12, 1995.

A bulwark of the 1968-69 teams, he was an All-American and All-East choice in 1969, when he recorded 87 tackles and returned an interception for a touchdown against Maryland. He also finished fifth in the Heisman Trophy balloting. Reid enjoyed a varied career at Penn State (1966-69), which included a lead role in the play “Guys and Dolls” and winning the 1967 Eastern heavyweight wrestling title. He starred with Cincinnati in the National Football League (1970-74), winning All-Pro honors twice, before retiring to devote full time to his music career. He has won numerous music awards, including the Grammy Award. Also a Penn State Distinguished Alumni Award recipient, he was named to the NCAA Silver Anniversary team in 1995.

A native of Dornsife, Pa., Ressler won three varsity letters, excelling at center and middle guard. In his senior season of 1964, he was a consensus AllAmerican and was the choice of Philadelphia’s Maxwell Football Club as the nation’s most outstanding player.

PENN STATE UNIVERSITY MAKING LIFE BETTER SINCE 1855 Since admitting its first students in 1859, Penn State has awarded some 630,000 degrees whose value is recognized worldwide. That value reflects an educational experience second to none in quality and richness. In addition, Penn State alumni — there are more than 270,000 in Pennsylvania alone — have job- and social-networking opportunities that no other college or university in the Commonwealth can surpass. The University’s beginnings were humble. Chartered as a college of scientific agriculture, the institution was located in rural Centre County after James Irvin, a partner in the Centre Furnace iron works (remains of which can be seen today along East College Avenue), agreed to donate 200 acres of farmland for a campus. Founding President Evan Pugh hoped to expand the curriculum beyond agriculture. He and similar visionaries in other states lobbied for Congressional passage of the Morrill Land-Grant Act in 1862. The act enabled states to sell federal land and use the income to support colleges that agreed to include engineering, science, and liberal arts as well as agriculture in their course of studies. In 1863, the Pennsylvania legislature designated Penn State the Commonwealth’s sole land-grant institution, thus bestowing on what had been a privately incorporated institution a wide range of public functions and obligations. Initial efforts to diversify the curriculum met with mixed success, but by the 1890s Penn State was making its mark. It ranked among the nation’s 10 largest undergraduate engineering schools, a distinction it still holds. President

George Atherton invigorated the liberal arts and recruited Professor of English Fred Pattee to teach the nation’s first course in American literature, heretofore considered an unworthy stepchild of English literature. Professor of Agriculture Whitman Jordan’s pioneering research on using fertilizers for soil enrichment had global impact on crop yields. Penn State in 1871 became one of the first landgrant schools in the Northeast to admit women, graduated its first international student in 1890, and its first AfricanAmerican student in 1905. In the early 1900s, Penn State launched an extensive system of outreach education, “carrying the college to the people,” as then-President Edwin Sparks liked to say. It established the nation’s first collegiate-level correspondence courses in agriculture, and in 1912 helped create a statewide system of county agents in agriculture and home economics. Today’s Penn State World Campus, with its “anywhere, anytime” learning using the Internet, is descended from that strong outreach tradition. But undergraduate education remained foremost. As enrollment surpassed 5,000 students in 1936, Penn State became Pennsylvania’s largest source of baccalaureate degrees. Also in the 1930s, a state-wide system of undergraduate centers was created for students who, in the depths of the Great Depression, could not afford to leave their hometowns to get a college education. The centers offered the first year of baccalaureate studies and were the predecessors of today’s system of 19 undergraduate campuses across the Commonwealth.

Following the Second World War, Penn State underwent unprecedented expansion, first to meet the needs of returning military veterans and later to accommodate the Baby Boom generation. Total enrollment at all Penn State campuses climbed to 40,000 by 1970. The University also emerged on the national scene as a research powerhouse. Research — a land-grant obligation — first garnered international attention in fields as diverse as dairy science, acoustics, psychology, and petroleum refining. As world-renowned faculty encouraged greater student participation in their research, Penn State was able to provide an enriched undergraduate experience that was unavailable at any of the state-owned universities. Annual research expenditures now exceed $717 million and are a major factor in why Penn State is the largest single non-governmental contributor to Pennsylvania’s economy. The University generates about $8.5 billion in total economic impact each year. Today, as measured by the more than 100,000 applications for admissions it receives annually, Penn State is America’s most popular university. Enrollment is spread among 24 campuses statewide: University Park campus, the research and administrative hub; 19 primarily undergraduate campuses; Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center; the Pennsylvania College of Technology; the Dickinson School of Law; and the Penn State Great Valley School of Graduate Professional Studies.

PRESIDENT GRAHAM B. SPANIER Since he was appointed Penn State’s 16th president in 1995, Dr. Graham Spanier has been the guiding force behind several historic academic initiatives, including the creation of The Schreyer Honors College, the School of International Affairs, the Penn State World Campus, and the College of Information Sciences and Technology. He has expanded outreach to citizens of Pennsylvania and has overseen more than $2.5 billion in philanthropic contributions to Penn State. Dr. Spanier has been described as an unconventional university president. He loves spending time with students. He is a magician and adviser to the Penn State Performing Magicians, and he has performed with Penn State’s Musical Theatre students, the Blue Band, the Glee Club, and the Chamber Orchestra. He occasionally substitutes for the Nittany Lion mascot. He has run with the bulls in Pamplona, has a commercial pilot’s license, and plays the washboard 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 “To the Best of My Knowledge,” the live, call-in program on public television and radio. But most of his time is spent overseeing one of the nation’s largest and most comprehensive universities, with 92,000 students and 44,000 employees on 24 campuses, an annual budget of nearly $4 billion, and a physical plant of 1,700 buildings. A national leader in higher education, Dr. Spanier was the recipient of the 2009 TIAA-CREF Theodore M. Hesburgh Award for Leadership Excellence. He serves as chair of the National Security Higher Education Advisory Board, is a member of the National Counterintelligence Working Group, is a member of the Board of Advisors of the Naval Postgraduate School, and serves on the board of Junior Achievement Worldwide. Dr. Spanier has chaired the Association of American Universities, the Board of Directors of the National Association 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 and Land-Grant Universities, was a founding member of the Internet2 board, and served on the Board of Trustees of the National 4-H Council. He was president of the National Council of Family Relations, chairman of the Board of Directors of the Christian Children’s Fund, vice-chair of the Worldwide Universities Network, and co-chair of the

Committee on Higher Education and the Entertainment Communities. Dr. Spanier’s prior positions include chancellor of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, provost and vice president for academic affairs at Oregon State University, and vice provost for undergraduate studies at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He previously served Penn State from 1973-1982 as a member of the faculty and in three administrative positions in Penn State’s College of Health and Human Development. He holds academic appointments as professor of human development and family studies, sociology, demography, and family and community medicine. A distinguished researcher and scholar, he has more than 100 scholarly publications, including 10 books, and was the founding editor of the Journal of Family Issues. A family sociologist, demographer, and marriage and family therapist, he earned his Ph.D. in sociology from Northwestern University, where he was a Woodrow Wilson Fellow, and his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Iowa State University, where he was honored with the Distinguished Achievement Citation and an honorary doctorate. His wife, Sandra, is an English professor specializing in 20th-century American literature and serves as the general editor of Hemingway’s letters. They have two children: Brian, a finance graduate of Penn State, and Hadley, a marketing graduate of Penn State.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR TIM CURLEY Well into his second decade as the architect of the Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics program, Tim Curley’s dynamic and passionate leadership has been the driving force behind the Nittany Lions’ tremendous level of athletic and academic achievement. Named Director of Athletics on December 30, 1993, Curley’s leadership has positioned Penn State among the nation’s premier athletic departments. During its 17 years as a member of the Big Ten Conference, Penn State has captured 18 NCAA Championships, almost double the number of the next closest Big Ten institution. Curley has seen Nittany Lion squads win 60 Big Ten titles and numerous individual national and conference crowns during his 16-plus years directing Penn State’s comprehensive and nationally-respected athletic program. The Lions have won six NCAA Championships since March 2007. During the 2009 fall semester, the women’s volleyball team won an unprecedented third consecutive NCAA Championship, rallying from a 2-0 deficit to defeat Texas, 3-2, in the title match. Penn State won its seventh consecutive outright Big Ten Championship and extended its winning streak to 102 matches, the secondlongest streak by any team in NCAA Division I history. The football team won 11 games for the 15th time under Joe Paterno and won its fourth bowl game in the past five years. The women’s soccer team won its 12th consecutive Big Ten Championship, tying the longest string of Big Ten women’s titles all-time in any sport. The

women’s cross country team won the 2009 Big Ten title, the program’ first, and the women’s indoor track and field team captured the 2010 crown. In the spring of 2009, the fencing team won its ninth NCAA Championship under Curley’s watch and the women’s track and field team captured its second consecutive Big Ten outdoor title. The Nittany Lion basketball team won its first National Invitation Tournament championship, posting a program-record 27 victories. Penn State won a school record-tying six Big Ten titles in 2008-09. Include the 56 All-Americans and 41 first-team All-Big Ten selections (48 total first-team allconference honorees), a record student-athlete Graduation Success Rate of 89 percent and a record 11 Academic All-Americans and 2008-09 was another tremendous year of Success With Honor for the Lions. In 2007-08, Penn State became just the second school in NCAA history to have its men’s and women’s volleyball teams win the national championship in the same academic year. A 1976 Penn State graduate, Curley’s dedicated and enthusiastic leadership has helped Penn State capture 23 Big Ten championships or tournament titles the past fourplus years, the second-highest total in the conference. In June 2009, Curley again was recognized for his efforts in helping Penn State maintain its stature as one of the nation’s premier athletic programs with his selection as the Northeast Athletic Director-of-the-Year by NACDA. He was one of just four regional Division I-A honorees and previously earned the award in 2003. To continue to give the coaching staff and studentathletes the resources to succeed academically and athletically, Curley has guided the most ambitious fundraising and athletics facilities campaigns in the department’s history. More than $128 million was raised for Intercollegiate Athletics through June 2008 to surpass the Success With Honor Campaign goal of $100 million.

The athletics physical plant has improved substantially under Curley’s watch. A new softball facility, golf clubhouse, soccer practice fields and men’s and women’s basketball offices are among the projects recently completed or set for construction. The most recently completed capital project was a new baseball stadium — Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. The Penn State baseball team shares the state-of-theart facility with a short-season minor league team — the State College Spikes. The 5,406-seat stadium opened to rave reviews in June 2006. Curley also oversees the expansive intramural/club sport programs — which included a fourth consecutive national championship in men’s ice hockey in 2003 and the women’s rugby national tile in 2004 — on the University Park campus, as well as general recreational activities. He’s charged as well with responsibility for the athletic and recreational programs at Penn State’s Commonwealth Campuses. Curley served as president of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) in 2005-06. It is no exaggeration to say Tim Curley is someone who knows the Penn State athletic program from the ground up. A State College product, he grew up across the street from New Beaver Field where some of his most memorable days as a youngster were spent there and in Rec Hall. He parked cars, sold game programs and served as a baseball batboy. The top assistant to Athletic Director Jim Tarman, Curley was named Director of Athletics on December 30, 1993, when Tarman retired after 35 years as a Penn State athletic administrator. Curley is married to the former Melinda Harr of Washington, Pa. The Curleys have two children — a daughter, Devon, and a son, Tanner.

PENN STATE TRADITIONS HAPPY VALLEY HERITAGE

Nittany Lion Legend

The Nittany Lion Shrine

Blue & White

Penn State’s athletic symbol, chosen by the student body in 1906, is the mountain lion which once roamed central Pennsylvania. H.D. “Joe" Mason, a member of the Class of 1907, conducted a one-man campaign to choose a school mascot after seeing the Princeton tiger on a trip with the Penn State baseball team to that New Jersey campus. A student publication sponsored the campaign to select a mascot and Penn State is believed to be the first college to adopt the lion as a mascot. Since Penn State is located in the Nittany Valley at the foot of Mount Nittany, the lion was designated as a Nittany Lion. In regional folklore, Nittany (or Nita-Nee was a valorous Indian princess in whose honor the Great Spirit caused Mount Nittany to be formed. A later namesake, daughter of chief O-Ko-Cho, who lived near the mouth of Penn’s Creek, fell in love with Malachi Boyer, a trader. The tearful maiden and her lost lover became legend and her name was given to the stately mountain.

Penn State’s Nittany Lion shrine was dedicated on Oct. 24, 1942, during Homecoming Weekend. Animal sculptor Heinz Warneke and stonecutter Joseph Garatti molded a 13-ton block of Indiana limestone into the most recognizable symbol of Penn State. The shrine was chosen from six models submitted by Warneke. The shrine is a gift of the Class of 1940 and rests in a natural setting of trees near Recreation Building. The site was chosen because of its accessibility, the surrounding trees and the fact that the sculpture would not be dwarfed by nearby buildings.

Penn State’s student-athletes are instantly identified by their blue and white uniforms — but those weren’t the original school colors. A three-member committee representing the sophomore, junior and senior classes was appointed in October of 1887 to develop color options from which the student body would select the school’s official colors. Dark pink and black was the unanimous choice of the student body after considering the color combinations presented by the committee. Soon many students and the baseball team were sporting pink and black striped blazers and caps. However, problems arose when the pink faded to white after several weeks of exposure to the sun. The students then opted for blue, rather than black, and white. The official announcement of the new choice was made on March 18, 1890.

The “S” Zone Organized in 1999 by the Penn State Lion Ambassadors, the student alumni corps, the “S” Zone revived one of the oldest traditions — Block S — in the student section at Beaver Stadium. Now formed when 700 underclassmen don coordinated blue and white tshirts, the giant block “S” is a striking symbol visible throughout the stadium and captured regularly by national television cameras. The “S” Zone, which has had several locations over the years, most recently moved from the end zone to the 20-yard line. The area is marked on the bleachers on Fridays before home games by volunteers from the Lion Ambassadors who also seek sponsorships to offset the cost of printing the t-shirts and coordinate the delivery and distribution of tshirts on game days.
