PENN STATE FOOTBALL

SUCCESS ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

An offer was extended in 1990 from the oldest and most storied athletic conference to the iconic Blue and White and since that day the Big Ten Conference and Penn State have been a perfect match. After playing the first 106 seasons of football as an independent, Penn State opened Big Ten play on the first day of the 1993 season vs. Minnesota and enters its 25th season as a marquee player in the conference.

Christian Hackenberg (left) was just the second Penn Stater to win the B1G Thompson-Randle El Freshman of the Year award after leading the Nittany Lions to a 6-2 conference mark in 2012. That season, Hackenberg set 12 Penn State freshman passing records, including passing yards (2,955), completions (231) and touchdown passes (20).

Allen Robinson won back-to-back Big Ten RichterHoward Receiver of the Year awards in 2012 and 2013. The wideout was the first player to lead the Big Ten in receptions and yardage since 1985, compiling 2,445 yards on 174 receptions over the two seasons. Robinson’s 97 catches and 1,432 yards in 2013 are both Penn State single season records.

In 24 seasons in the Big Ten, Penn State claimed 24 individual awards, including six Defensive Player of the Year honorees and four Offensive Player of the Year winners (2016 winner, Saquon Barkley, above). The list also includes three Freshmen of the Year and 11 positional award winners.

In 2007, Penn State had the top two tacklers in the Big Ten, with Dan Connor (11.2) and Sean Lee (10.6) each averaging more than 10 tackles per game. Connor earned All-American first team honors that season the second of his career - while Lee was named AllBig Ten second team.

ATOP THE B1G Jason Cabinda & Brandon Bell

HEART OF A CHAMPION The shoulders never slumped after Wisconsin built an early double-digit lead, instead the chinstraps were only cinched tighter and focus locked in by the Blue and White. Like they had all season, the Nittany Lions leaned on one another, offense supported defense and a sideline did everything possible to turn the game in favor of the Blue and White. Outscoring the Badgers, 24-3, in the second half, Penn State rallied to notch its fourth Big Ten crown in 24 seasons as a conference member.

James Franklin & Malik Golden

ADDING A FOURTH Since winning its first Big Ten championship in 1994 - its second season in the conference - Penn State has consistently performed on a high-level in Big Ten play, ranking among the leaders in conference championships. The Nittany Lions brought their fourth Big Ten crown back to Happy Valley in 2016 with a victory over Wisconsin in the Big Ten Championship Game, making them one of just four teams to win at least four B1G titles since 1993.

In front of thousands of blue and white clad supporters, Penn State alum Keegan-Michael Key represented the Nittany Lions as the show’s guest picker - it was no surprise that he picked his Nittany Lions as the victor.

AIR RAID Quarterback Trace McSorley lit up the Indianapolis skyline to the tune of a Big Ten-record 384 yards passing and a Championship Game-record four touchdown passes. It started with a scoring strike to Mike Gesicki, followed by a pair of touchdown passes to Saeed Blacknall and an 18-yard drop-in-a-bucket to Saquon Barkley that gave Penn State the lead for good. Blacknall accounted for 155 of McSorley’s 384 yards passing, setting a Big Ten Championship Game record. On Penn State’s final offensive play of the first half, Blacknall hauled in a 40-yard touchdown reception and, on PSU’s next offensive play, caught a 70-yard scoring strike from McSorely to start the second half.

POSTSEASON PROWESS Playing on New Year’s Day is a dream of any college football student-athlete, and Penn State has a track record of being among the last teams on the annual bowl schedule. The Nittany Lions own 29 all-time appearances in January bowl games, including wins in five different New Year’s bowl games since joining the Big Ten.

WALK-OFF IN THE BRONX Penn State earned its stripes in its first visit to the New Era Pinstripe Bowl, toppling Boston College, 31-30, in overtime in 2014. The game began with a bowl-recordtying 72-yard touchdown pass from Christian Hackenberg to Chris Godwin and ended when Sam Ficken converted his extra point attempt in overtime following a Kyle Carter scoring grab. The Pinstripe Bowl win gave Penn State a win in its 13th different bowl game in school history.

Penn State is the only team in Rose Bowl history with multiple scoring drives of 15-seconds or less. Two came against Oregon in the 1995 Rose Bowl, with Ki-Jana Carter breaking an 84-yard touchdown run and Jon Witman rumbled in from nine yards out after a Ducks turnover for the scores. In the 2017 Rose Bowl, Trace McSorley found Chris Godwin for a 72-yard scoring strike, before McSorley converted a USC turnover into six points on the next snap.

A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN Since Elgie Tobin won the first NFL Championship in 1920, Penn Staters have dotted NFL rosters. With 344 players drafted all-time, Penn State is among the top-10 NCAA institutions in producing professional talent. There has been a Nittany Lion in 46 of the 51 Super Bowl games, with 55 total rings won by football lettermen. Being prepared in life is paramount to success, and when polled by Sporting News, NFL General Managers and Player Personnel Directors ranked Penn State the clear-cut winner as the collegiate program that best prepares pupils for the NFL.

THOSE HALLOWED HALLS When you walk around the Pro Football Hall of Fame, you will find the bronze profiles of six Nittany Lions. Inside the College Football Hall of Fame, you will view 24 individuals with Penn State ties. Penn State is one of 12 schools to have six or more representatives in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Jack Ham, Franco Harris, Mike Michalske, Lenny Moore, Mike Munchak and Dave Robinson are all enshrined in Canton, Ohio, for their accomplishments on the field of play.

THE LEGACY CONTINUES With Shane Conlan’s induction in 2014, Penn State now has 23 players and coaches who are members of the College Football Hall of Fame. Five coaches and 18 players have earned their way into college football’s Hall of Fame, with five of them being running backs and four more playing on both offense and defense during their careers. The 24th inductee with Penn State ties is former Nittany Lion Bill Bowes, who was enshrined in 2016 for his accomplishments as the head coach at New Hampshire.

TOP OF THE LIST Penn State ranks tied for 10th among college programs in producing both College Football Hall of Famers and Pro Football Hall of Famers. The Nittany Lion program is tied with four other programs in College Football Hall of Famers, while they are all square with Illinois, Miami (Fla.), Oregon and UCLA in Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees.

BIG TIME IN THE BOWLS One of the nation’s most sought after postseason programs also has its fair share of student-athletes enshrined in bowl game Halls of Fame. Most notable are Ki-Jana Carter (Rose), Lydell Mitchell (Cotton) and Dave Robinson (Gator). Penn State also has five honorees in the Orange Bowl Hall of Fame, including Joe Paterno, who is also a member of the Gator Bowl Hall of Fame.

NATIONAL AWARD WINNERS A STANDARD OF SUCCESS When Richie Lucas claimed the Maxwell Award, given to the outstanding player in college football, in 1959, he set the standard for success at Penn State. Since that season, 32 Nittany Lions have either won or been named finalists for 60 major college football awards.

NASSIB ADDS TO HARDWARE

John Cappelletti

In 2015, Carl Nassib exploded onto the college football scene, as the former walk-on led the NCAA in sacks and forced fumbles, setting the school standard for sacks in a season with 15.5. For his efforts on the field and in the classroom, Nassib claimed a trio of national awards, winning the Lott IMPACT Trophy, Rotary Lombardi Award and the Ted Hendricks Award. He was named a finalist for six awards in 2015, the secondmost all-time by a Penn State football student-athlete.

HEISMAN INSPIRATION A running back built in steel country, Pennsylvania, John Cappelletti’s 1973 season was highlighted by winning the Heisman Trophy. In what is considered the most moving speech ever given at the ceremonies, Cappelletti spoke from the heart about his brother, Joey, who was battling leukemia at the time, “A lot of people think I go through a lot...Only for me it is on Saturdays and it’s only in the fall. For Joseph, it is all year round and it is a battle that is unending...He has always been a great inspiration to me.”

Paul Posluszny made things happen on the field for the Blue and White and for that he was named a finalist for national awards a schoolrecord seven times. He was a three-time winner, twice claiming the Bednarik Award for Defensive Player of the Year and earning one Butkus Award for the nation’s top linebacker.

Running back Larry Johnson broke the Penn State single game rushing record on three occasions in 2002, helping him win all three major awards in which he was named a finalist - Doak Walker, Maxwell and Walter Camp. He also finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting that season behind a pair of quarterbacks in Carson Palmer (winner) and Brad Banks.

Offensive linemen don’t often get the credit they deserve on and off the field. John Urschel changed that, as he earned a pair of the most distinguished awards a college student-athlete can attain. He was named the William V. Campbell Trophy winner, the academic Heisman, and earned the James E. Sullivan Award, bestowed upon to the nation’s top amateur athlete by the AAU.

Having one first-team All-American is a big deal, however, on 11 occasions the Penn State football program has placed three-or-more student-athletes on the top All-America squad. It first happened in 1969 and last occurred during the 2002 campaign.

Penn State has seen 38 different student-athletes named consensus All-American for 41 honors, including eight since 2000. Of those 38, there have been 13 Penn Staters to earn unanimous All-America selection, with Carl Nassib doing so in 2015.

The 1994 squad placed an NCAA-best five student-athletes on the All-America first team, including unanimous pick Ki-Jana Carter, consensus selection Kerry Collins, along with Kyle Brady, Bobby Engram and Jeff Hartings.

Linebacker Dennis Onkotz and tight end Ted Kwalick each earned All-America first team honors in 1968 and both were two-time first team selections in their respective careers. Kwalick earned his second nod in 1967, while Onkotz was also a first-teamer in 1969.

GAME DAY IN HAPPY VALLEY

“IF THIS ISN’T ONE OF THE BEST PLACES IN AMERICA, I DON’T KNOW THE OTHER ONE.” — Lee Corso, ESPN’s “College GameDay”

IT TAKES A VILLAGE It isn’t just about the team arrival or the battle on the field; game day is about the cumulative efforts of everyone involved. From Nittanyville to the Penn State Blue Band, the spirit squads to the ‘S’ Zone, or the tailgaters to the ticket takers, every Penn Stater has a hand in making Happy Valley the best show in college football.

22

WE ARE

TRADITION CONTINUES As they have for years, the Penn State football team arrives at Beaver Stadium via the classic Blue Buses, however, they no longer take the left-hand turn onto Curtin Road. The team now exits the caravan at the corner of Porter and Curtin and the team walks through a sea of cheering fans on the way into Beaver Stadium.

GET UP...IT’S GAMEDAY ESPN’s “College GameDay” made the trek to Happy Valley for the first time in 1999 for the season-opening contest between No. 3 Penn State and No. 4 Arizona. The Nittany Lions have hosted the GameDay crew on four occasions. Sports Illustrated dubbed it “Greatest Show in College Football,” however Penn State fans refer to it simply as Saturday. Other than packing the nation’s second-largest stadium with nearly 107,000 screaming fans, many more make the trek to campus to enjoy tailgating and camaraderie and maybe some Creamery ice cream.

107K When 107,000 fans reach full throat inside Beaver Stadium, the defense must have forced a third down or the Nittany Lion is dancing around celebrating a score. However, with so many fans, tickets are not easy to come by. More than 85,000 seats are sold on a season ticket basis each year including 21,000 student season ticket holders.

NITTANYVILLE It’s not the postal service, but Nittanyville’s dedication to make Beaver Stadium the toughest venue in college football is unmatched. No matter sun, rain, snow or dead of night, Nittanyville is always there to create an avalanche of sound.

THERE FROM THE START “The Corner Room” located on the corner of Pugh Street and College Avenue has been a State College staple since 1855. Originally named “Jack’s Roadhouse,” the establishment became the “The Corner Room” in 1926 and has been going strong ever since.

“Old Willow,” planted in 1859 by William Waring, was revered for its ties to several campus traditions and lived on The Mall until 1976. Though the original tree perished in 1921, it was replaced multiple times by cuttings grown from it, until disease took the last tree at the spot in 1976. A Penn State historical marker sits at the site of “Old Willow” to highlight its place on the National Register of Historic Places.

Fans pack the Bryce Jordan Center for special events and athletic contests. Acts have included Garth Brooks, Brantley Gilbert, Billy Joel, Kevin Hart, Bruce Springsteen and Jay Z. In 2013, a thenNCAA record crowd of 15,996 spectators watched the three-time defending National Champion Penn State wrestling squad take down Pittsburgh in the venue.

From Eisenhower Auditorium to Beaver Stadium, Penn Staters flock to every speaker, performance and event on campus. The Nittany Lion faithful enjoy some of the most historic venues, like Rec Hall, while laying claim to the most state-of-the-art buildings, like Pegula Ice Arena, as well. A classic college town located in the Nittany Valley, State College is renowned for its beauty, charm and youthful lifestyle. Quaint shops and popular restaurants share the cozy downtown area with contemporary retail stores and gathering spots for locals and students alike. And it all lies in the shadow of the legendary Mt. Nittany in what is affectionately known as “Happy Valley.”

PENN STATE FOOTBALL

WE ARE... TRUE COLORS Penn State’s student-athletes are instantly identified by their blue and white uniforms — but those weren’t the original school colors. In October 1887, the student body unanimously chose dark pink and black. After the pink faded to white on many of the uniforms, the students opted for blue in place of black and white as the official school colors. The iconic blue and white became official on March 18, 1890. In 1999, the Penn State Lion Ambassadors, the student alumni corps, revived one of the oldest traditions in college football — the Block ‘S’ — in the student section at Beaver Stadium. Now, 700 underclassmen don coordinated blue and white t-shirts to create the giant block ‘S’ each home Saturday. On Homecoming, the ‘S’ Zone bears the school’s original colors of pink and black to pay homage.

THE LION SHRINE Penn State’s Lion Shrine was dedicated on Oct. 24, 1942, during Homecoming weekend. The 13-ton block of Indiana limestone was molded into the most recognizable symbol of Penn State by renowned sculpture Heinz Warneke. A gift of the Class of 1940, it rests in a natural setting of trees near the Recreation Building (Rec Hall) and is the second-most photographed landmark in the state of Pennsylvania. The Lion Shrine’s home was improved and enhanced thanks to a gift from the Class of 2012.

WE ARE

WE ARE In the 1970s, the cheerleaders sought out a new cheer and so was born, “We Are… Penn State.” The cheer didn’t catch on right away, but it caught hold in the early 1980s and now echoes through Beaver Stadium each Saturday in the fall. The cheerleaders later added “Thank You…You’re Welcome.” The first use of the phrase “We are Penn State” is often attributed to football AllAmerican Steve Suhey. A captain on the 1947 Cotton Bowl team, Suhey used the phrase as the team, an early racially-integrated unit, was faced with several situations in which Penn State’s African-American players were not welcome to participate. Pointing at all of his teammates, Suhey, a team captain, said “We’re Penn State and we play together or we don’t play.” The Class of 2013 chose to have this slogan immortalized with a sculpture serving as a visual representation of what it means to be a Penn Stater. Created by Penn State alumnus Johnathan Cramer, the sculpture is made out of mirror-polished, stainless steel. The 12-foot-tall sculpture rests on a stone base and is located in the shadow of Beaver Stadium at the corner of Curtin Road and University Drive.

PENN STATE STAPLES

Berkey Creamery

Old Main: Originally erected in the 1850s, the current Old Main has been in use since 1930. Used as student and staff housing in the early days, Old Main is now the administrative hub of the University Park campus. The clock tower was a gift from the Class of 1904 and was moved from the original building to the top of Old Main. Protecting Our Turf: It is often said that the sun never sets on Penn State turfgrass surfaces. This is made possible through the Penn State Center for Turfgrass Science, a program that has been at the forefront of cutting edge research in its field since 1929. Berkey Creamery: Dairy research began at Penn State in 1865, and the Creamery has been setting milestones ever since. From Baskin-Robbins to Haagen-Dazs, industry pros flock to Penn State to learn how to craft ice cream perfection. THON: A student-run philanthropy committed to enhancing the lives of children and families impacted by childhood cancer, the Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon is a year-long effort, which culminates with a 46-hour dance marathon. The event has raised more than $147 million for Four Diamonds at Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital in its history. The HUB: Since the 1920s, Penn State students had been clamoring for a central gathering place, but it wasn’t until 1953 that vision became reality in what was know as the Hetzel Union Building. After a handful of temporary locations, the University broke ground on what is now named the HUB-Robeson Center, the most highly trafficked building on campus, spanning 305,000 square feet.

GIVING BACK IN THE COMMUNITY The Penn State football program has long prided itself on being active in the community and giving back to those that give so much to Penn State University. From participating in THON and Special Olympics, Penn State also volunteers countless hours to making sure the community knows their daily efforts are appreciated.

RECORD-BREAKING SERVICE For the second-straight season in 2016-17, the offensive unit (above) claimed Penn State’s CHAMPS Cup for community outreach. As a team, the Nittany Lions have compiled more than 6,100 hours of community service related activities since James Franklin arrived on campus, including a program record 2,200 hours in 2015-16. In each of the last two seasons, Penn State has accumulated more than 2,000 hours of community service.

HELPING OTHERS WITH NEEDS The initiatives that Penn State football studentathletes are active with include Special Olympics, THON, United Way Day of Caring and Giving Tuesday. Along with those - and many others - the Blue and White consistently host groups at Lasch Building as a way of reaching out to the local community.

STILL GIVING Staying connected is also something Penn Staters do and that is no different with football alumni. Devon Still and his daughter, Leah, came back to THON in 2016 to speak to the crowd. Leah was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma in 2015. She battled and beat cancer.

LIFT FOR LIFE

A CALL FOR ACTION When Scott Shirley’s father was diagnosed with kidney cancer in 2003, his family was told the disease didn’t typically respond to traditional treatments, which made it rare and therefore didn’t attract research and development. That wasn’t good enough for his teammates, who used the platform as student-athletes to give the fight against rare diseases a voice - thus Lift For Life was born. Lift For Life is organized and run by Uplifting Athletes, a non-profit organization that inspires the rare disease community with hope through the power of sport. The national network of chapters is run by current football student-athletes, providing them with an opportunity to gain practical job skills while learning how to leverage their assets and abilities to make a positive and lasting impact.

38

WE ARE

RAISING THE BAR

MAN BEHIND THE MISSION

For 14 summers the Penn State football team has gathered for Lift For Life, and though the format has changed from strictly weight lifting-based to a team fitness test format, the fans continue to come out and support. A program-record $150,990 was raised during the 2014 event and after bringing in $73,000 in 2016, the all-time total has been pushed to nearly $1.2 million raised to benefit kidney cancer research and the rare disease community.

With a master’s in engineering, Scott Shirley (3rd from left) began his professional career designing buildings - his dream job - but upon his father’s passing from kidney cancer in 2005, Uplifting Athletes became his mission. First, as a hobby, Shirley soon realized that the cause needed full time attention, so he packed up and moved home to get the non-profit off the ground in 2007. From two schools in 2007, Uplifting Athletes now has 24 chapters from coast-to-coast.

While the event was fun to watch, the Uplifting Athletes leadership thought there might be a way to get the younger fans more involved. So, in 2015 they decided to add the first ever Kids Combine, where the newest Nittany Lions - incoming freshmen - interacted with boys and girls, while running them through an NFL Combinestyle event.

LEADER OF THE PRIDE PENNSYLVANIA KID WITH A PENN STATE HEART From Langhorne, Pennsylvania, a Philadelphia suburb, James Franklin spent many summers in Pittsburgh during his youth, and graduated from East Stroudsburg University. He was a two-time All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) selection at quarterback, breaking or tying 23 school records during his career. Franklin coached one season at his alma mater and one year at Kutztown University, another PSAC institution. The passion and vision that Franklin has for the Penn State program is built on a foundation of four core values: a positive attitude, unrivaled work-ethic, compete in everything you do and the willingness to sacrifice for the good of the group. Just days before he was named the Nittany Lions’ head coach, the engaging Franklin was in Pasadena, California, appearing on multiple ESPN platforms throughout the day during the network’s coverage of the BCS National Championship Game in the Rose Bowl. Franklin began 2015 in Fort Worth, Texas as a part of ESPN’s College Football Playoff National Championship Game coverage on College Football Live. He also provided analysis for the FOX’s pregame, halftime and postgame coverage of the Big Ten Championship Game in 2015.

HEAD COACHING SUCCESS

When you are a football coach, you spend a lot of time at the office and on the field, however, James Franklin likes to say he has two daughters - Shola & Addison - and 95 sons and every decision he makes is based on that premise.

In his six years as a head coach, Franklin has guided each of his teams to the postseason, including the 2017 Rose Bowl. In 2014, Franklin led Penn State to an overtime victory in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl, claiming a 31-30 victory inside Yankee Stadium, and guided the Blue and White to the 2016 TaxSlayer Bowl. Additionally, Franklin led Vanderbilt to three bowl appearances, including consecutive bowl wins for the first time in program history, winning the Music City Bowl over NC State and the BBVA Compass Bowl vs. Houston. The Commodores had played in four bowl games all-time in the 121 seasons prior to his arrival; none in consecutive years. Franklin has been instrumental in bringing success at every stop in his coaching career. His tenure as head coach at Vanderbilt was historic, as he led the Commodores to consecutive Top 25 finishes, a pair of nine-win seasons and two bowl victories, all for the first time in school history. During the 2013 season, Vanderbilt defeated Florida, Georgia and Tennessee all in the same season for the first time in program history. At Maryland, he helped the Terrapins improve from 5-6 the year before he arrived to a 10-plus win team in his second, third and fourth years on the coaching staff.

23

Franklin still owns the single game record for rushing yards by a quarterback at East Stroudsburg, piling up 150 yards on 28 carries vs. Southern Connecticut State in 1994. Franklin left as East Stroudsburg’s single season total offense (3,129) and passing yardage (2,586) record holder. He finished his career as the all-time leader in quarterback rushing yards (1,077), becoming the first quarterback in school history to ever rush for 1,000 yards.

Franklin enters his 23rd season in coaching, with 22 years at the collegiate level. He also spent one season with the NFL’s Green Bay Packers as the wide receivers coach.

UNDER ONE ROOF The $7.2 million renovation of the former Greenberg Ice Pavilion gave the building new life and now serves as the 32,000-square-foot Morgan Academic Center. The academic services and support hub and its staff serve all 800 Penn State student-athletes in one physical location for the first time. Among the numerous features in the new Morgan Academic Center are: staff offices for the student-athlete development and welfare unit, academic counselors, learning specialists and a sports psychologist; 15 collaborative learning rooms; two conference rooms; classroom space; three large study rooms; two open reading rooms; computer lab; student lounge; fueling station and displays of student-athlete academic recognition through the years and benefactor recognition.

“TODD KULKA AND THE MORGAN CENTER STAFF HAVE BEEN A KEY PART NOT ONLY TO THE ACADEMIC SUCCESS I HAVE HAD, BUT ALSO FOR THE MAN I HAVE BECOME. WITH THE UNCONDITIONAL SUPPORT AND NUMEROUS RESOURCES I HAVE RECEIVED FROM THE MORGAN CENTER, I TRULY FEEL PREPARED FOR LIFE BEYOND COLLEGE.” - SENIOR GRANT HALEY

FOREVER BLUE & WHITE Athletics Endowments

Join Penn State’s proud athletic tradition. This is an opportunity to link your name in perpetuity with the accomplishments of all of Penn State’s athletic teams. By endowing a specific playing or coaching position on a team of your choice, you will help ensure that the University always will have funds available for expenses such as room and board, tuition and books; and that Penn State will be able to employ a first-rate coaching staff that will set a positive example for our young men and women. As of March 2017, 27 benefactors already have seized the chance to endow a football position for the White Squad (see diagram below). Most of the Blue Squad remains available. This program is open to all positions on any of Penn State’s 31 intercollegiate athletic teams in consideration of a gift of $300,000 and for a minimum commitment of $50,000 you can establish a named endowed scholarship to support the team of your choice.

Coaching endowments also are available in all 31 sports, with gift levels for assistant coaches starting at $500,000 and head coaches starting at $1 million. Patrick and Candace Malloy previously created the Malloy Paterno Head Football Coach Endowment at Penn State. The Malloys’ gift will provide important resources for the football program. Income from the Malloy Paterno Head Football Coach Endowment will be directed, at the head coach’s discretion and with approval from the Director of Athletics, to purposes ranging from academic support and special medical care for team members, to expenses associated with recruitment of student-athletes and coaching expenses, excluding salary supplements. Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics receives no state support for its programs and must cover the cost of fielding 31 varsity teams from ticket revenues and private giving.

The University invests endowed gifts in perpetuity and uses a portion of the annual income for the purposes intended by the donor. The remaining income is added to the principal to protect it from inflation and ensure its growth. For more information on becoming a part of Penn State’s proud athletic tradition, please call the Nittany Lion Club Office of Major Gifts at 814-863-GIFT (4438).

2016 SEASON IN REVIEW

2016 SEASON NOTES BIG TEN CHAMPIONS • Penn State defeated Wisconsin, 38-31, in the Big Ten Championship Game Dec. 3 in Lucas Oil Stadium to win its first Big Ten Championship since 2008 and fourth overall (1994, 2005). • It was Penn State’s first appearance in the Big Ten Championship Game since the game’s inception in 2011. • Finishing at 8-1 in Big Ten play during the regular season, Penn State clinched a share of the Big Ten East Division title with Ohio State. It was the first divisional title for the Nittany Lions since sharing the Leaders Division crown with Wisconsin in 2011. WINNING B1G • Penn State earned eight Big Ten wins for just the second time in program history with the other being the 8-0 conference mark in 1994. • The Nittany Lions won eight consecutive Big Ten games for the first time since 1994. • The Nittany Lions finished Big Ten play at 8-1 for the first time, as Penn State had never played nine Big Ten games in a season. • Penn State’s 8-1 Big Ten record represents its third one-loss Big Ten season (7-1; 2005 & 2008). SUSTAINED EXCELLENCE • Penn State and Wisconsin are the only Big Ten teams that have posted a winning season the last 12 consecutive years. • Penn State is one of eight teams (USC, LSU, Florida State, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Oregon, Virginia Tech) in the Autonomy Five that has had a winning record each of the last 12 years. • Overall in the FBS, Penn State is one of nine teams with a winning record in each of the last 12 years (Boise State). SUCCESS IN THE CLASSROOM • The Penn State football team continued to excel in the classroom during the 2016 fall semester with 51 squad members earning at least a 3.0 grade-point average. • The fall effort marks the seventh time in the last eight semesters (including summer sessions) the Nittany Lions have had more than 50 student-athletes with a 3.0 GPA or better. • The Lions have had 50 or more student-athletes with a 3.0 GPA or higher in each of the last three fall semesters. • A total of 19 Nittany Lions posted a 3.5 GPA or higher in the fall semester, with 15 earning Dean’s List recognition for having 3.5 GPA or higher with 12 credits earned in undergraduate work. • Overall, 48 football student-athletes own a 3.0 cumulative GPA or higher after the fall semester, with 16 posting a 3.5 cumulative GPA or higher. • The 2016-17 academic year also saw true freshman punter Blake Gillikin and graduate student Cody Hodgens posted perfect 4.0 GPAs in both the fall and the spring semesters. • Gillikin is enrolled in the Schreyer Honors College. • In addition to Gillikin and Hodgens, Brandon Smith and Jake Zembiec earned perfect 4.0 GPAs in the spring semester. • Additionally, 19 Nittany Lions earned Academic All-Big Ten recognition last fall. • Three Nittany Lions earned Big Ten Distinguished Scholar accolades for 2016-17: Gordon Bentley, Brandon Smith and Tyler Yazujian. • The Nittany Lion freshmen were impressive in the fall semester with 15 posting a 3.0 or higher.

Senior safety Marcus Allen made arguably the defining play of the Penn State football season when he blocked Ohio State’s field goal attempt in the fourth quarter, which was picked up by Grant Haley and returned 60 yards for the game-winning touchdown.

Sophomore quarterback Trace McSorley enjoyed a successful first career start at the helm of Penn State’s new-look offense. He threw touchdown passes to DaeSean Hamilton and Mike Gesicki, connecting on 16-of-31 pass attempts for 209 yards, while also adding 47 yards on the ground.

Turning Point After a back-and-forth first half, Oruwariye’s interception return for a touchdown - Penn State’s first since 2014 - gave the Nittany Lions their first two-score lead of the game.

2016 SEASON IN REVIEW

GAME RECAP PITTSBURGH - A 332-yard passing day for quarterback Trace McSorley and five total touchdowns by running back Saquon Barkley wasn’t enough to overcome the strong rushing attack of Pitt in a 42-39 setback for the Nittany Lions in Heinz Field. The 69,983 in attendance marked the largest crowd ever at a city of Pittsburgh sporting event. Barkley scored a career high five touchdowns and totaled 147 allpurpose yards, but the Pitt rushing attack, led by 117 yards from James Connor, was too much to overcome. Barkley’s five touchdowns including four of the rushing variety, accounted for 30 points in the game. The 30 points rank tied for No. 4 in school history and is the first 30-point game for Penn State since Ki-Jana Carter had 30 points against Michigan State on Nov. 26, 1994. He is the first Big Ten player since Wisconsin’s Melvin Gordon scored 30 points vs. Bowling Green in 2014. The 81 points scored were the most combined points in the history of the 97-game Penn State-Pitt series.

Turning Point Pitt led by as many as 21 points in the first half, but the game was in the hands of the Penn State offense trailing by three points with 3:56 remaining. After driving to the Pitt 32, McSorley’s pass was intercepted in the end zone by Ryan Lewis and Pitt was able to kneel out the clock for the win. Difference Makers Penn State • RB Saquon Barkley - Toted the ball 20 times for 85 yards, caught two passes for 45 yards and returned one kickoff for 17 yards to total 147 all-purpose yards. Netted five total touchdowns - four rushing - to become the first Big Ten player since 2014 (Melvin Gordon, vs. Bowling Green) to account for 30 points in a game. Is the first Nittany Lion with 30 points since Ki-Jana Carter (1994, vs. Michigan State) and his total is tied for No. 4 in single game scoring at Penn State. • QB Trace McSorley - Set career-highs for completions (24), attempts (35) and passing yards (332). The 332 passing yards are No. 13 on the Penn State single season charts and mark his first career 300yard passing game. • WR DaeSean Hamilton - Brought in eight passes for 82 yards and caught a two-point conversion from McSorley in the fourth quarter. • WR DeAndre Thompkins - Entered the season with three career grabs for 33 yards and made three catches for 87 yards vs. the Panthers. Now has four catches for 130 yards through two games in 2016.

• LB Nyeem Wartman-White - Posted nine tackles, including a careerhigh 3.0 tackles-for-loss. Of his nine hits, seven were of the solo variety. • DE Torrence Brown - A career-high six tackles and 2.0 tackles-forloss were not enough for Brown vs. Pitt, as he added his first career forced fumble against the Panthers. • CB John Reid - Recovered his second career fumble and added a career-high-tying five stops. Also returned four punts for 61 yards - including a career-long 59 yard scamper. Pitt • RB James Conner - Gained 117 yards on 22 carries and added a team-high-tying four catches for 29 yards, scoring one on the ground and once through the air. • Pitt Rushing Attack - The Panthers watched as eight different players rushed the ball, with seven of them averaging more than 4.0 yards per carry. • WR Quadree Henderson - Henderson was effective through the air and on the ground, catching three passes for a team-high 47 yards, returning two kickoffs for 96 yards - including an 84-yarder that set up the eventual winning score - and rushing for 58 yards. Key Drives PENN STATE, 4th Qtr, 6:30-5:00 - TOUCHDOWN Starting near midfield, Penn State drove it down to the Pitt two yard line, in large part on the arm of McSorley. A 27 yard completion to Juwan Johnson kick started the drive and a 19-yard connection with Hamilton pushed the Nittany Lions just three yards from paydirt. Barkley capitalized on the short yardage, needing two carries for his fourth rushing score of the game. Down four points after the touchdown, Penn State went for the two-point conversion, and McSorley found Hamilton on a scramble to make it a three-point game. PENN STATE, 4th Qtr, 3:56-1:15 - INTERCEPTION Penn State took the field with 3:56 to play and a chance to tie the game or take the lead for the first time. A Barkley rush for 11 yards started the drive and two plays later it looked as if McSorley had Hamilton down the home sideline for a score, but the ball fell to the turf. After a Pitt sack made it 4th-and-16, McSorley found Thompkins across the middle for a 34-yard gain to move the Nittany Lions to the Pitt 32. After a Barkley rush for one yard, McSorley looked towards the end zone, but his pass - intended for Irvin Charles - was intercepted by Ryan Lewis. Pitt knelled three times to run out the clock on the ensuing drive.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Trace McSorley connected on 18-of-24 passes for 287 yards and a touchdown, including a pair of 52-yard throws, and the Penn State defense held Temple to 38 yards rushing, as the Nittany Lions defeated Temple, 34-27, in front of a “Stripe Out” crowd. Penn State led Temple by as many as two touchdowns in the first half, as Chris Godwin totaled 111 yards and a touchdown in the first 30 minutes. The Owls capitalized on Nittany Lion miscues in the second half to pull within three, 27-24, midway through the fourth quarter, but running back Saquon Barkley answered for Penn State by breaking off a 55-yard touchdown run with 7:20 remaining. Penn State jumped out to a 21-7 lead in the first half. A 52-yard touchdown strike to Godwin for the game’s first score was quickly answered by a 67-yard reception by Temple’s Romond Deloatch, setting up an 8-yard touchdown run for running back Jahad Thomas. However, Penn State went back ahead with 2:50 remaining in the first quarter, as running back Andre Robinson capped a 13-play, 69-yard drive with three consecutive runs, including a 3-yard plunge into the end zone for his first career touchdown. McSorley capped a drive midway through the second quarter with a dive into the end zone for a 21-7 advantage. Temple assembled a field goal drive just before the break to head into the locker room trailing 21-10. The Nittany Lions restored their 14-point lead with a 40-yard Tyler Davis field goal just under six minutes into the second half. However, Penn State allowed a 9-yard touchdown drive and a 1-yard touchdown drive with only a Davis field goal in between after turnovers gave the Owls short fields. Penn State’s lead was down to 27-24, but Barkley’s touchdown scamper resulted in a 34-24 lead that proved to be enough, as Temple could only muster a field goal for the final margin. The 106 points scored by Penn State through three games is the most by a Nittany Lion team since the 2008 squad put up 166 points in that span (Coastal Carolina - 66; Oregon State - 45; at Syracuse - 55). Turning Point Temple appeared to have the momentum after an interception late in the third quarter and a fumble on a punt return midway through the fourth quarter resulted in two short touchdown drives. With the Penn State lead down to just three points, Barkley restored the Nittany Lions’ two-score advantage with a 55-yard touchdown down run with 7:20 to go. Difference Makers Penn State • LB Brandon Smith - The junior entered the game with just one tackle, but he made eight tackles, including on assisting on a stop behind the line, and broke up a pass for a career day.

• Rushing Attack - Barkley, McSorley and Andre Robinson each rushed for a touchdown, marking the first time since last season’s Rutgers contest that three different Lions rushed across the goal line. • Run Defense - Penn State only yielded 38 yards on the ground for their best performance against the run since limiting Illinois to 37 yards last season. Temple • SS Delvon Randall - Randall setup both of Temple’s second half touchdown drives. In the third quarter, he picked off McSorley at the Penn State 26 and returned it to the 9. The ensuing Temple offensive possession resulted in a touchdown and shrunk Penn State’s lead to 24-17. Randall also recovered a fumble on a punt return at the Penn State 1 in the fourth quarter, setting up another touchdown drive that pulled the Owls within a field goal, 27-24. • RB Jahad Thomas - Thomas was both Temple’s leading receiver and rusher in his first game of the season. On the ground, Thomas scored two touchdowns and totaled 52 yards on 14 carries. He also caught six passes for 48 yards. Key Drives PENN STATE 1st Qtr, 8:47-2:50 - TOUCHDOWN Penn State used the ground game for its next score rushing eight times for 47 yards on the drive. Once Penn State broke into the red zone, Robinson took it from there, rushing 12 yards to the Temple 6, before back-to-back 3-yard rushes resulting in his first career touchdown and 14-7 lead. PENN STATE 2nd Qtr, 10:29-7:15 - TOUCHDOWN After Robinson converted a fourth-and-1 at Temple’s 44 with a 1-yard rush, McSorley connected with Godwin for 23-yard gain to the Temple 20. After a 2-yard Robinson rush, Polk hauled in a 14-yard pass at the 4. McSorley then took it himself after a holding penalty took out the intended receiver. McSorley just continued to roll right on the play and dove for the pylon for his first career rushing score and a 21-7 lead. TEMPLE 4th Qtr, 7:20-2:10 - FIELD GOAL Penn State only yielded three double-digit plays, the longest being a 13-yard reception on third-and-19, as Temple burned 5 minutes and 11 seconds to move within one score. The Rest DaeSean Hamilton recovered an onside kick but Penn State went three-and-out, giving Temple the ball after a punt with 37 seconds remaining. Walker’s second pass attempt was intercepted by John Reid though to end the game.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Saquon Barkley totaled 136 all-purpose yards for Penn State, but an all-around performance by No. 4/5 Michigan gave the Wolverines a 49-10 victory over the Nittany Lions in the Big Ten football opener for both teams in Michigan Stadium. Michigan built a 28-0 lead in the first half, while Penn State’s lone touchdown came in the second half, an 8-yard completion from quarterback Trace McSorley to wide receiver Chris Godwin. Barkley posted a career-high 77 yards receiving on five receptions and rushed for 59 yards on 15 carries. McSorley completed 16-of-27 pass attempts for 121 yards and a touchdown with one interception. Seven different Michigan rushers totaled 329 yards and six touchdowns, led by De’Veon Smith’s 107 yards and a touchdown on 12 attempts and Karan Higdon’s 81 yards and two touchdowns on nine attempts. Penn State was playing short-handed as all three starting linebackers Brandon Bell, Jason Cabinda and Nyeem Wartman-White- were unavailable due to injury. The Nittany Lions’ starting linebacker trio featured just three career combined starts as opposed to the 63 represented by the opening day trio. Starting middle linebacker Brandon Smith was then disqualified on the first play of the second quarter for targeting and his replacement, Jan Johnson, suffered a season-ending injury in the second quarter. Safety Malik Golden led Penn State with a career-high 11 tackles, including eight solo and one for loss. True freshman linebacker Cam Brown made 10 stops in his first significant action. Sophomore linebacker Manny Bowen also had a career high of seven stops, while safety Marcus Allen had seven solo stops and two pass breakups.

2017 PENN STATE FOOTBALL YEARBOOK

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Saquon Barkley broke through the Minnesota defense on Penn State’s first offensive snap in overtime, allowing the Nittany Lions to reclaim the Governor’s Victory Bell with a 29-26 win over the Golden Gophers in Big Ten football action in Beaver Stadium. Penn State was also led by sophomore quarterback Trace McSorley, who accounted for 408 yards of total offense - 335 passing and 74 rushing - to mark the third-highest total in school history. Minnesota led 13-3 at halftime, but the Nittany Lions rallied with 17 points on three consecutive possessions in the third quarter. Minnesota fought back as running back Shannon Brooks broke free for 37 yards to tie the game with 13:29 to go, and Emmit Carpenter scored the go-ahead points with a 37-yard field goal with 54 seconds remaining in regulation. Penn State started at its own 25 after a touchback, and got rolling on third-and-10 on a 20-yard pass to Chris Godwin. A 7-yard reception by DeAndre Thompkins to the Minnesota 48 and a spike by McSorley stopped the clock with 20 seconds. The Nittany Lions looked to throw on the ensuing play, but the Gophers left the left side of the field open and McSorley scrambled for 26 yards out-of-bounds to the Minnesota 22 with 11 seconds remaining. McSorley took one shot at the end zone, but his pass for Godwin fell incomplete. After a Minnesota timeout. Davis drilled a 40-yard field goal with two seconds remaining to force overtime. Penn State won the coin toss and elected to play on defense first. Nittany Lion defensive end Evan Schwann sacked quarterback Mitch Leidner on second down for a 4-yard loss, and pressure from Garrett Sickels forced an incompletion and fourth down. Carpenter drilled a 46yard field goal attempt down the middle to give Minnesota a 23-20 lead. The lead was short-lived though, as Barkley found a hole, juked a Minnesota defender and outran the rest for a touchdown on Penn State’s first snap. Penn State totaled 471 yards of total offense, it’s most since racking up an identical total against Rutgers in 2015. Turning Point Minnesota seemed to have all of the momentum after scoring 10 points in the final 2:06 of the second quarter. Both teams traded punts to start the third quarter, but then Penn State scored on its next three consecutive possessions. Wide receiver Irvin Charles broke a tackle for an 80-yard touchdown reception to cut the deficit to three, Tyler Davis connected on a 27-yard field goal to tie it, and then quarterback Trace McSorley used his feet on a 6-yard touchdown for Penn State’s first lead, 20-13, with 2:27 to go in the third quarter.

Difference Makers Penn State • QB Trace McSorley - McSorley connected on 19-of-41 pass attempts for a career-high 335 yards. He also had a team-high and careerhigh 73 on the ground on eight attempts. • RB Saquon Barkley - Barkley rushed for 63 yards on 20 attempts. Minnesota contained him for much of the second half, but Barkley’s 25-yard touchdown run was his longest of the game and clinched the victory. • TE Mike Gesicki - Gesicki finished with five catches for 73 yards, including a career-long 53-yard reception that setup McSorley’s third quarter touchdown run. • WR Chris Godwin - Caught four passes for 97 yards, with his biggest being a 36-yard reception to setup a third quarter field goal and a 20-yard reception on the game-tying drive in the final minute of the fourth. • S Marcus Allen - Allen made a career-high 22 stops in the game, the most by a Penn State player since Paul Posluszny made 22 stops at Northwestern in 2005. • K Tyler Davis - Converted all three field goal attempts, matching his season high of 40 yards to force overtime. He has now made 17 consecutive field goals for a Penn State record. • CB Jordan Smith - Smith earned his first career interception in the third quarter, picking off Leidner in the end zone. It was the first time this season Minnesota had broken into the red zone and failed to score. Minnesota • QB Mitch Leidner - Leidner completed 24-of-40 passes for 241 yards and one touchdown. • RBs Shannon Brooks and Rodney Smith - Brooks and Smith both broke 100 yards rushing each.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Running back Saquon Barkley and quarterback Trace McSorley combined for 283 of Penn State’s 372 rushing yards to lead the Nittany Lions past Maryland, 38-14. It was Penn State’s most prolific rushing game against an FBS or Big Ten opponent since posting 390 against Michigan State in 2002, and the 372 yards rank as its third-most against a Big Ten opponent. Barkley posted a career-high 202 yards and a touchdown on a careerhigh 31 carries to lead Penn State, while McSorley set career highs on the ground with 18 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown. He also added two more touchdowns through the air, including a 70-yarder to DeAndre Thompkins, and finished the game completing 10-of-19 attempts for 152 yards. The Nittany Lions essentially flipped the script on offense. Entering the contest, Penn State was only averaging 108.2 yards rushing per game while Maryland was averaging 300.0, but the Lions held the Terrapins to just 170 yards on the ground. Maryland was also averaging 466.2 yards of total offense to Penn State’s 365.0, but the Nittany Lions held the advantage in the category, 524-270. Maryland was also averaging 43.2 points per game and just 14.5 points allowed. Penn State’s 524 yards of total offense was its most since 2013 against Eastern Michigan (574), as the Nittany Lions ran 81 plays to Maryland’s 54. A total of 62 of Penn State’s plays were on the ground - it’s the most ever in a Big Ten game. Penn State never trailed, receiving the opening kickoff and marching 84 yards on seven plays for an eventual 5-yard touchdown reception by tight end Mike Gesicki, largely on the feet of Barkley and McSorley. A short pass from Maryland quarterback Perry Hills to Ty Johnson turned into a 66yard touchdown reception to tie the game at 7-7 midway through the first quarter, but a Tyler Davis field goal and rushing touchdowns by McSorley and Barkley overcame Maryland’s only other score in the second quarter, and the Lions never looked back from a 24-14 halftime lead. Turning Point Maryland looked to have the momentum moving into the halftime break after covering 37 yards on three plays for a touchdown, pulling within three points and leaving just 41 seconds on the clock after the kickoff. However, Saquon Barkley needed only three plays to cover 70 yards. He rushed for 25 yards on his first carry and was stuffed for no gain on the next, but he broke free for a 45-yard touchdown run on the next to give Penn State a 24-14 lead. The Nittany Lions shutout Maryland in the second half and added two more touchdowns.

Difference Makers Penn State • QB Trace McSorley - McSorley totaled 233 yards of total offense and accounted for three touchdowns. He gained a career-high 81 yards on a career-high 18 carries with one touchdown, while also throwing a 70-yard touchdown pass to DeAndre Thompkins and a 5-yard touchdown pass to Mike Gesicki. McSorley completed 10-of19 passed for 152 yards. Four of McSorley’s carries were for 12 or more yards, including a long of 25, and his 81 rushing yards were the most by a Penn State QB since Daryll Clark rushed for 83 against Illinois in 2009. • RB Saquon Barkley - Barkley received a career-high 31 carries for 202 yards and a 45-yard touchdown. Six of his carries went for 13 or more yards. • LB Brandon Smith - Smith came off the bench to make a career-high 14 tackles and his first career interception. • WR DeAndre Thompkins - Thompkins matched his career high with four receptions and set a career high with 91 yards receiving, including a career-best 70-yard touchdown grab. • Penn State Defense - Ten different Lions combined for 10.0 tackles for loss. Linebacker Koa Farmer, who made his first career start, led with 1.5 TFLs, a forced fumble and a sack. Key Drives PENN STATE, 1st Qtr, 15:00-12:33 - TOUCHDOWN Penn State marched down the field on its opening drive with big plays. McSorley opened the drive with a 21-yard completion to DaeSean Hamilton. The ground game then took over as Barkley followed a 3-yard rush with a 17-yarder. McSorley then found space for 17 yards and Barkley followed with a 20-yard rush to the Maryland 6-yard line. After a rush for no gain, McSorley connected with Gesicki for a 5-yard touchdown completion. PENN STATE, 2nd Qtr, 10:24-6:06 - TOUCHDOWN Penn State’s two pass attempts on the drive fell incomplete, but it’s nine rushing plays were good enough. McSorley got the drive rolling on the second play with a 25-yard run to the Maryland 43. Mark Allen gained 10 yards on two rushes for a first down, and two runs each by McSorley and Barkley advanced the ball to the 14. A Barkley touchdown run on thirdand-7 was called back on a holding penalty, but a pass interference penalty on the next play gave Penn State first-and-goal at the nine. McSorley called his own number on the next snap and threaded his way through the Maryland defense for a touchdown.

GAME RECAP UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Grant Haley returned a field goal blocked by Marcus Allen 60 yards for the game-winning touchdown, as Penn State erased a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter to defeat No. 2 Ohio State, 24-21 in front of a Penn State White Out crowd of 107,280 in Beaver Stadium. The Buckeyes had won 78 straight games when leading by 14 or more points in the fourth quarter. Penn State used big plays on offense and a pair of special teams plays to score 17 points in the fourth quarter. It marked the first time Penn State defeated a Top 2 team since winning at No. 1 Notre Dame in 1990, and the first win at home over a Top 2 team since downing No. 2 Nebraska, 27-24, in 1982. The victory was also Penn State’s first over a ranked opponent since 2013 (Wisconsin). Penn State also snapped Ohio State’s streak of 20 consecutive road wins, and it was the first road loss under head coach Urban Meyer. Ohio State punted to start the fourth quarter and pinned the Nittany Lions on their own 10, but the Nittany Lions covered 90 yards on just five plays, highlighted by running back Saquon Barkley breaking free for 37 yards, and then quarterback Trace McSorley finding wide receiver Saeed Blacknall down the left sideline for 35 yards to the 2.

After an incompletion, McSorley found Godwin who out-fought his defender for the ball. OHIO STATE, 4th Qtr, 9:28-4:27 - BLOCKED FG RETURNED FOR TOUCHDOWN Ohio State started at its own 13, but methodically moved down the field, aided by a 34-yard reception by Noah Brown to the Penn State 42.

2016 SEASON IN REVIEW

GAME RECAP UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - No. 12 Penn State led from the game’s opening drive to the finish, as another 200-plus all-purpose yard performance by Saquon Barkley and a staunch run defense that yielded just 30 yards carried Penn State to a 41-14 victory over Iowa. Penn State totaled 599 yards of total offense, its most since totaling 661 against Rutgers in 1995, and its most in a Big Ten game since totaling 653 against Michigan State in 1994.

He also added a 44-yard touchdown reception to total 211 all-purpose yards. The Nittany Lions defense limited Iowa to just 234 yards, including just 30 on the ground. The last time Penn State held a Big Ten team to 30 yards rushing or fewer was Indiana in 2012 (24 yards). It was also the fewest rushing yards allowed by Penn State since holding Massachusetts to three yards in 2014. It marked the second consecutive week Penn State held the opposition to 46 yards or less.

PENN STATE, 2nd Qtr, 9:19-7:58 - TOUCHDOWN The drive was all Mike Gesicki until his apparent touchdown was overturned on video review. Starting at the Penn State 38, McSorley connected with Gesicki for 13 yards and five yards before finding him wide open down the right sideline. Gesicki lunged for the end zone and it was called a touchdown on the field, but moved back to the 1 on review. McSorley took it himself for a 21-0 lead. PENN STATE, 4th Qtr, 14:49-14:41 - TOUCHDOWN Troy Apke’s first career interception gave Penn State the ball on the Iowa 44. On the first play, McSorley connected with Saquon Barkley on a wheel route down the right sideline, and Barkley scampered into the end zone untouched for the 44-yard score and 34-7 advantage.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - It was a historic Saturday night in Beaver Stadium, led by a 376-yard, four-touchdown passing performance by quarterback Trace McSorley and a second-half shutout on defense, No. 7 Penn State defeated Michigan State, 45-12, to clinch a share of the Big Ten East Division title and earn a trip to the Big Ten Championship in Indianapolis. It’s Penn State’s second Big Ten divisional championship and it will be its first championship game appearance since the conference adopted the format in 2011. Penn State owns three overall Big Ten titles and two divisional crowns since joining the conference in 1993. The victory extended Penn State’s winning streak to eight for its longest since tallying nine in a row in 2008. It’s also Penn State’s sixth 10-win regular season since joining the Big Ten and its first since 2009. Penn State has eight Big Ten wins for just the second time, and the Nittany Lions also finished the regular season 7-0 at home for the first time since 2008. Penn State trailed Michigan State, 12-10 at halftime, but true to form, the Nittany Lions rallied in the second half, outscoring the Spartans, 35-0. McSorley led an offensive onslaught in the third quarter on Penn State’s first three offensive possessions, throwing touchdown passes of 34 yards to Chris Godwin, 45 yards to Mike Gesicki and 59 yards again to Godwin to build a 31-12 lead. Senior linebacker Brandon Bell led the Penn State defense with 18 tackles. The unit surrendered 256 yards and four field goals in the first half, but yielded just 87 yards and no scores in the second half. The Nittany Lion defense held opponents without a touchdown in back-toback games for the first time since 2009 and the first time since 2006 in Big Ten games. Turning Point The Penn State defense failed to get a stop in the first half, but did not allow a touchdown, and the Nittany Lions only trailed by two at the break. The defense forced a three-and-out after Michigan State received the kickoff to open the second half, and it was all Penn State from there, as McSorley threw touchdowns on the Lions’ next three drives to open a 31-12 lead. Difference Makers Penn State • QB Trace McSorley - McSorley completed 17-of-23 passes for a career-high 376 yards and a personal-best four touchdowns, going 10-for-14 for 265 yards and the four touchdowns after halftime. He extended his consecutive games with a touchdown pass streak to 13, dating back to last season’s TaxSlayer Bowl, and his 12-straight

games this season ties a program record first set by Matt McGloin in 2012. It was his fourth 300-yard passing game of the season, tying a program mark held by Matt McGloin (2012) and Christian Hackenberg (2013 and 2014). WR Chris Godwin - Godwin enjoyed his first 100-plus receiving yard game since the Temple game in September and the eighth of his career, finishing with five catches for 135 yards. He had touchdowns of 34 and 59 yards, and his nine touchdowns this season break the Penn State record for touchdown receptions by a junior. TE Mike Gesicki - Gesicki hauled in a pair of passes to total 64 yards, including a 45-yard touchdown in the third quarter. With the 64 yards, he set a Penn State record for receiving yards in a season by tight end with 610. RB Andre Robinson - Robinson scored the game’s final two touchdowns, scoring a 14-yard rush and a career-long 40-yard reception. He led Penn State with 32 rushing yards on three carries. RB Saquon Barkley - In the second quarter, Barkley scored Penn State’s first touchdown of the game, leaping over a Michigan State defender for a 1-yard score. It was his 22nd career rushing touchdown to give him sole possession of 15th place on the Penn State career list. His 14 rushing yards in the game gave him 1,219 for the season, moving him into 12th place all-time at Penn State LB Brandon Bell - Bell tied his career high for tackles of 18. His other 18-tackle game came against Ohio State earlier this season. Pass Rush - Defensive tackles Kevin Givens and Parker Cothren and linebacker Manny Bowen recorded a sack each, while defensive linemen Curtis Cothran and Evan Schwan combined for a sack.

Key Drives PENN STATE, 3rd Qtr, 13:13-11:02 - TOUCHDOWN Michigan State received the kickoff to start the half but was stopped for the first time, going three-and-out after a third-down sack by Curtis Cothran and Evan Schwan moved the Spartans back to their own 8. The ensuing punt went 44 yards to the Penn State 48. The Lions advanced to the 34 over the next four plays, and then McSorley found a wide-open Chris Godwin in the end zone on a play-action pass to give Penn State a lead it would not relinquish. PENN STATE, 3rd Qtr, 2:54-2:05 - TOUCHDOWN With Penn State leading 24-12, Michigan State appeared poised to make it a one-score game, but a botched snap was recovered by Troy Apke at the Penn State 41. After Barkley carried the ball for three yards, McSorley found Godwin behind the secondary on a post route for a 59yard touchdown.

INDIANAPOLIS - No. 7 Penn State stayed true to form with a sensational second half, as quarterback Trace McSorley led a thrilling 21-point comeback to defeat No. 6 Wisconsin, 38-31, to win the 2016 Big Ten Championship. McSorley threw for a Big Ten Championship Game-record 384 yards and a record four touchdown passes, including three in the final 31 minutes, to lead Penn State to its fourth Big Ten Championship and first since 2008. Accordingly, McSorley was named the Grange-Griffin Most Valuable Player. Penn State fell behind 28-7 with 5:15 remaining in the second quarter but rallied for its fourth double-digit comeback of the season - a program first - and its largest since rallying from 21 points down against Northwestern in 2010. The Lions continued their second-half success, outscoring Wisconsin, 24-3 in the second half. The win also extended the Nittany Lions’ winning streak to nine games, its longest since 2008, and gave Penn State its sixth 11-win season in the Big Ten era. DaeSean Hamilton and Saeed Blacknall were McSorley’s top targets, as Hamilton caught eight passes for 118 yards and Blacknall caught six passes for a Big Ten Championship Game record 155 yards and two touchdowns. Blacknall had a 40-yard touchdown reception with 58 seconds remaining in the first half to bring the Lions within two touchdowns, 28-14, and then he caught a 70-yard touchdown on Penn State’s first play of the second half to bring the Lions within one score, 28-21. Saquon Barkley, who finished with 83 yards on 19 carries, scored the game-clinching touchdowns, rushing for a yard to the goal line with 4:22 remaining in the third quarter to tie the game at 28-28, and then hauling in the go-ahead score on an over-the-shoulder 18-yard touchdown pass with 13:41 to go to put the Lions ahead for good, 35-31. Tyler Davis added a field goal with 5:14 remaining for a 38-31 lead, and the Nittany Lions withstood the Badgers’ last offensive push, as Grant Haley stopped Wisconsin’s Corey Clement on fourth-and-1 at the Penn State 24 with 1:01 remaining. Turning Point The Nittany Lions turned the momentum in their favor late in the first half, driving 90 yards on eight plays in just 1:27. McSorley found Blacknall for a 40-yard touchdown to cap the drive and pull Penn State within two scores before the halftime break. Penn State had to kickoff to start the second half, but stopped Wisconsin at the Penn State 30 and Andrew Endicott missed wide right on a 48-yard field goal attempt. McSorley then found Blacknall for a 70-yard touchdown on Penn State’s first play from scrimmage, and the comeback was on.

Difference Makers Penn State • QB Trace McSorley - McSorley completed 22-of-31 passes for a Big Ten Championship Game-record 384 yards and a record four touchdowns. It ranks as the fourth-most prolific single game passing yardage effort in Penn State history. Despite losing 20 yards rushing on the night, including 18 on the game’s final play as he ran out the clock, his 364 yards of total offense were a Big Ten Championship Game record. It marked the second week in a row throwing for at least 376 yards and two touchdowns for McSorley. He also set the Penn State season passing yards record, reaching 3,360 to pass the record of 3,266 set by Matt McGloin in 2012 and the season passing touchdowns record, reaching 25 to pass the record of 24 set by Daryll Clark (2009) and McGloin (2012). • WR Saeed Blacknall - Touchdowns of 40 and 70 yards highlighted a six-catch, Big Ten Championship Game-record 155 yards receiving. • WR DaeSean Hamilton - Hamilton kept the chains moving all night, catching eight passes for 118 yards. • RB Saquon Barkley - Barkley rushed for 83 yards on 19 carries, bringing his season total to a Penn State sophomore record 1,302 yards, and scored the game’s last two touchdowns with one on the ground and one through the air. • TE Mike Gesicki - Gesicki caught Penn State’s first score on a 33-yard play and finished with three catches for 58 yards. • CB Grant Haley - Haley sealed Penn State’s win with a fourth-down tackle with 1:01 remaining and made five tackles on the night. • LB Brandon Bell - Bell made a game-high 13 tackles (10 solo), forced a fumble and recorded one sack. The 13 tackles and 10 solo tackles tie the Big Ten Championship Game record. Key Drive PENN STATE, 3rd-4th Qtr, 0:11-13:41 - TOUCHDOWN McSorley opened the drive with a 38-yard completion to Hamilton on the final play of the third quarter and a 25-yard completion to Hamilton again to start the fourth quarter to move Penn State to the Wisconsin 18. Barkley was stopped at the line on a rush, but then McSorley hit him in stride with an 18-yard touchdown pass for the go-ahead score, 35-31. The Rest Tyler Davis kicked a 24-yard field goal with 5:14 remaining and Grant Haley brought down Corey Clement on fourth-and-1 at the Penn State 24 with 1:01 remaining.

PASADENA, Calif. - Penn State running back Saquon Barkley totaled a career-high 306 all-purpose yards and scored three touchdowns and wide receiver Chris Godwin caught nine passes for a career-high 187 yards and two touchdowns, but No. 9 USC rallied in the fourth quarter to win the 103rd annual Rose Bowl Game on a 46-yard field goal as time expired, 52-49. With 101 combined points, it was the highest-scoring game in the storied history of the Rose Bowl, and both teams trailed by double-digit margins in the thriller. No. 5 Penn State trailed USC by 13, 27-14, with 6:16 remaining in the second quarter, but scored touchdowns on four consecutive offensive plays from its final play of the first half to its first three plays of the second half, building a 42-27 lead. Tight end Mike Gesicki caught an 11-yard touchdown pass to start the run and pull Penn State within six before the halftime break. Barkley crisscrossed the field and eluded multiple Trojan defenders for a 79-yard touchdown run on the Nittany Lions’ first offensive play of the third quarter, giving Penn State its first lead of the game, 28-27. On Penn State’s next possession, quarterback Trace McSorley connected with Godwin for a 72-yard touchdown pass down the sideline. A Brandon Bell interception that he returned 24 yards to the USC 3 then set up a McSorley touchdown run for a game-high 15-point advantage. The drives ranked as three of the 12 fastest scoring drives in Rose Bowl history, with McSorley’s five-second touchdown run setting a record. Both teams would trade touchdowns before the quarter ended, resulting in a 49-35 Penn State lead, but USC would score 17 points in the fourth quarter to inch back in front. Turning Point The USC defense was able to keep Penn State off of the scoreboard in the fourth quarter and defensive back Leon McQuay III intercepted a McSorley pass with 50 seconds remaining, setting up the Trojans’ gamewinning field goal by Matt Boermeester. USC scored twice in the final 1:20 of the game. Difference Makers Penn State • RB Saquon Barkley – Barkley rushed for 194 yards, setting a Penn State bowl record, and two touchdowns on 25 carries, caught five passes for 55 yards and a touchdown and returned two kickoffs for 57 yards to total a career-high 306 all-purpose yards. Barkley’s 79-yard rushing touchdown was the seventh-longest in Rose Bowl history and second-longest scoring run in Penn State bowl history. His 18 points scored are tied for second in Penn State bowl history with Ki-Jana Carter’s 1995 Rose Bowl performance.

• WR Chris Godwin – Godwin caught nine passes for a career-high 187 yards and two touchdowns. His 72-yard touchdown reception was his second in a bowl game after he did the same in last season’s TaxSlayer Bowl, tying a Penn State record.

Godwin’s 187yard performance is his third 100-yard game of the season and the ninth of his career. He has registered a 100-yard effort in each of his three bowl games (140 in 2014 Pinstripe Bowl; 133 in 2016 TaxSlayer Bowl) to extend his Penn State bowl career record to 460 yards, which is 188 yards more than second-place Bobby Engram at 272 yards. • QB Trace McSorley – McSorley completed 18-of-29 passes for 254 yards and four touchdowns, but was intercepted three times. He also rushed six times for 13 yards and a touchdown. McSorley’s 72-yard touchdown pass to is tied for the third-longest scoring pass in Rose Bowl history and tied for the longest in Penn State bowl history. His five touchdowns responsible for (4 passing, 1 rushing) are tied for the most in Rose Bowl history and break the Penn State bowl record. McSorley he has thrown for a touchdown pass in 15 consecutive games, breaking the school record of 14 set by Kerry Collins over the 1993 and 1994 seasons. • LB Brandon Bell – Bell made an interception and returned it 24 yards to the USC 3-yard line, setting up a Nittany Lion touchdown drive early in the third quarter. USC • QB Sam Darnold – Darnold completed 33-of-53 pass attempts for 453 yards and a Rose Bowl record five touchdowns. He threw one interception. • DB Leon McQuay III – McQuay hauled in USC’s third interception of the night at the USC 35 and returned it 32 yards to the Penn State 33, setting up Matt Boermeester’s game-winning 46-yard field goal. Key Drives PENN STATE 2nd Qtr, 6:16-0:54 - TOUCHDOWN McSorley completed 6-of-7 passes for 47 yards, including an 11-yard touchdown pass to Mike Gesicki. Gesicki’s catch was another just barely in-bounds in the back right corner of the end zone. USC 4th Qtr, 0:27-0:00 - FIELD GOAL After a Leon McQuay interception, USC took over from the Penn State 33. Ronald Jones rushed for five yards and Matt Boermeester kicked a game-winning 46-yard field goal.

Since its inception in 1896, the pursuit and attainment of academic excellence has been a priority for every Big Ten member institution. But maintaining the conference’s standard of competing at the highest level in athletics also endures as an important component of the Big Ten experience. Striking that balance between academics and athletics is integral to the Big Ten’s identity. Recognized as one of intercollegiate sports’ most successful undertakings, the Big Ten strives for success from its students not only on the field and in the classroom, but around the world as well. PREMIER ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS • The Big Ten Academic Alliance is an academic consortium of all 14 Big Ten universities, which is widely considered to be the model for effective and voluntary collaboration among top research universities. • Every Big Ten Academic Alliance institution ranks among the top 78 universities in the nation according to the 2014 Academic Ranking of World Universities, including six in the top 25. • The Big Ten leads all conferences with more than 1,700 Academic All- Americans, including 47 honorees during the 2016-17 academic year. • Big Ten Academic Alliance schools annually conduct $10 billion in funded research, $5 billion more than any other conference. A HISTORY OF ATHLETIC SUCCESS • Big Ten schools have won at least seven national championships in seven of the last nine academic years and at least five in each of the last 20 years. • In the last four full academic years, current Big Ten institutions have claimed 28 team national championships in 15 different sports. • Over the last 11 full academic years, current Big Ten institutions have won 82 team national titles in 23 different sports. BROAD-BASED PROGRAMMING • The Big Ten will administer over $200 million in direct financial support to more than 9,500 students competing in intercollegiate athletics for more than 11,000 participation opportunities on 350 teams in 42 different sports. • The Big Ten sponsors 28 official conference sports, 14 for men and 14 for women, including the addition of men’s ice hockey and men’s and women’s lacrosse the last three years. • The Big Ten leads the nation in total students competing in intercollegiate athletics and participation opportunities, and sponsors more official sports than all conferences except the Ivy League. • Almost 1,400 Big Ten competitors have participated in the Olympics, winning more than 600 medals, including nearly 300 gold. In the 2016 Olympic Games, 159 representatives from Big Ten institutions including current or former students and coaches were members to Olympic teams. Big Ten Olympians collected 47 medals in Rio.

BIG TEN CONFERENCE LAND GRANT TROPHY

GOVERNOR’S VICTORY BELL

BROWN, KWALICK BIG TEN TROPHIES

The Land Grant Trophy, established in 1993, is awarded to the winner of the Penn State-Michigan State game. It honors the universities as the nation’s two pioneer land-grant schools. Each was founded in 1855: Michigan State on February 12 and Penn State on February 22. The schools were the prototypes after which the land-grant system was patterned. The trophy features images of the schools’ landmark buildings - Penn State’s Old Main and Michigan State’s Beaumont Tower - and replicas of the Nittany Lion and the Spartan, the schools’ mascots.

Commissioned in 1993 by Pennsylvania Governor Robert Casey and Minnesota Governor Arne Carlson, the Governor’s Victory Bell is presented to the winner of the Penn StateMinnesota contest. Acting Governor Mark Singel of Pennsylvania and Carlson of Minnesota established the Governor’s Victory Bell on Sept. 4, 1993, the date of the first Minnesota-Penn State game. The trophy features a brass bell bearing the medallion of the Big Ten Conference, the state seals of Minnesota and Pennsylvania and the athletic logos of each institution.

The Big Ten initiated the presentation of 18 trophies following the 2011 season and honors some of its all-time premier football student-athletes with the newly named awards, including Penn State’s Courtney Brown and Ted Kwalick. The Big Ten awards the Smith-Brown Defensive Lineman of the Year, recognizing the Nittany Lions’ Brown and Michigan State’s Bubba Smith. Brown was a consensus first-team All-American in 1999, breaking school records in career tackles for loss (70), career sacks (33) and season TFL (29). The 1999 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, Brown was a three-time all-conference selection. Brown was the first overall pick in the 2000 National Football League Draft by the Cleveland Browns. The conference also presents the Kwalick-Clark Tight End of the Year, honoring Penn State’s Kwalick and Iowa’s Dallas Clark. Kwalick was a first-team All-American in 1967 and ’68 and finished fourth in balloting for the 1968 Heisman Trophy. A first-round draft choice by the San Francisco 49ers and a three-time All-Pro, Kwalick was inducted into the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame in 1989.

HISTORY & HONORS

NATIONAL AWARDS HEISMAN TROPHY

BEDNARIK AWARD

BRONKO NAGURSKI TROPHY

BUTKUS AWARD

The Heisman Memorial Trophy annually recognizes the outstanding college football player whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity. The winners of the trophy epitomize great ability combined with diligence, perseverance and hard work. The Heisman Trophy Trust’s mission is to ensure the continuation and integrity of this award. Originally the Downtown Athletic Club of New York City Trophy, it was renamed after the death of John W. Heisman, then director of athletics at the Downtown Athletic Club, in October 1936. Heisman was a coach at Auburn, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Pennsylvania, Rice and Washington and Jefferson, among other colleges.

The Bednarik Award for the College Defensive Player of the Year has been presented since 1994 by the Maxwell Football Club of Philadelphia in honor of Chuck Bednarik, a twoway standout at the University of Pennsylvania and Dan Connor with the National Football League Philadelphia Eagles (1949-62). The winner is chosen by a national selection committee comprised of coaches and the media, as well as members of the Maxwell Club.

The Bronko Nagurski Trophy is awarded annually to the nation’s top defensive player. The award is named after the legendary Bronko Nagurski, who dominated college football at the University of Minnesota as a bruising fullback and defensive tackle from 1927-29. He could have been an AllAmerican at any position and was the best player wherever the coaches put him.

The Butkus Award is awarded to the top linebacker at the high school, college and professional levels by the Butkus Foundation. Established in 1985 by the Downtown Athletic Club of Paul Posluszny Orlando, the award was given the nation’s top collegiate linebacker until 2008 when the award expanded to include high school and professional honorees. The award honors College Football Hall of Fame and Pro Football Hall of Fame member, Dick Butkus. The winner is chosen by a national media selection committee.

HISTORY & HONORS

NATIONAL COACH OF THE YEAR AWARDS AFCA COACH OF THE YEAR

BEAR BRYANT COACH OF THE YEAR

ESPN/HOME DEPOT COACH OF THE YEAR

SPORTING NEWS COACH OF THE YEAR

The AFCA’s Coach of the Year award is the oldest of all Coach of the Year awards, it is one of only two Coach of the Year awards recognized by the NCAA in Football Bowl Subdivision and the only Coach of the Year award recognized in the NCAA’s three other divisions. The NCAA does not select a “coach of the year” for college football. When a coach is referred to as “NCAA Coach of the Year,” he is usually the AFCA Coach of the Year winner.

The Paul "Bear" Bryant College Football Coaching Award honors a college football coach whose great accomplishments, both on and off the field, are legendary. The award recognizes the masters of coaching and allows them to take their deserved place in history beside other legends like Bear Bryant.

The ESPN/Home Depot Coach of the Year Award is given annually to college football's top head coach. The award is selected by ESPN and ABC college football analysts.

The Sporting News College Football Coach of the Year Award is an award that is given annually to the National Coach of the Year. The Sporting News established the award in 1963.

The current balloting procedure involves selection of 25 regional winners: five regional winners in each of the five divisions – FBS, FCS, Division II, Division III and NAIA. Following regional voting, five national winners – one from each division – are chosen. All schools with eligible AFCA head coaches are listed on the national ballots and members are not limited to voting for regional winners.

Shane Conlan, the leader of Penn State’s outstanding defenses in 1985 and ’86, was enshrined in the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame in 2014. A two-time first-team AllAmerican, Conlan became the 18th former Nittany Lion player and 23rd member of the Penn State football family to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. A senior co-captain in 1986, Conlan was instrumental in Penn State’s 23-1 record his last two seasons, with two National Championship game appearances. Conlan capped his career by leading a superlative defensive effort in the 1987 Fiesta Bowl to earn the game’s Most Valuable Defensive Player, recording eight tackles and two interceptions to lead Penn State past previously unbeaten Miami, 14-10, for the 1986 national title. A four-year letterman and a three-year starter for Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno, Conlan was a consensus first-team All-American in 1986. The Buffalo Bills selected Conlan with the No. 8 overall pick in the first round of 1987 NFL Draft and he earned NFL Rookie of the Year and Defensive Rookie of the Year honors.

In his senior season, Bowes and the Nittany Lions finished 6-4 and voted down the opportunity to play in the Gator Bowl despite a stunning 27-0 over secondranked Ohio State and a 28-0 win over Pitt to end the season. Following his graduation, Bowes served as a graduate assistant for the Nittany Lions for the 1965 season before joining the UNH coaching staff. A native of nearby Blanchard, Pennsylvania and Lock Haven High School, Bowes is the winningest coach in Yankee/ Atlantic 10 Conference history, posting a 175-106-5 record during his 27 seasons (1972-98) as the head coach at the University of New Hampshire.

After making a pair of All-America teams as a junior, Kwalick was a consensus choice as a senior, while finishing fourth in the Heisman Trophy voting. He played in the College All-Star and the Coaches All-America games and the Senior Bowl following his senior season. Kwalick was a 1969 first-round draft choice of the San Francisco 49ers and enjoyed a distinguished career with the 49ers, Oakland Raiders and, briefly, the Philadelphia Bell of the World Football League, before retiring in 1977.

A native of Northampton, Pennsylvania, Onkotz amassed 287 tackles, which still ranks sixth on the Lions’ career list. His 11 interceptions are tied for 10th 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.

He was among the first three active coaches to be inducted into the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame in 2007. Paterno is the winningest coach in major college football history, compiling a 409-136-3 career record (74.9). He led Penn State to National Championships in 1982 and 1986, Big Ten titles in 1994, 2005 and 2008 and seven unbeaten, untied regular-seasons. Creator of “The Grand Experiment,” his teams annually were among the national leaders in graduation rates and 47 of the student-athletes who played under his direction earned Academic All-America honors. Paterno passed away on January 22, 2012.

2017 PENN STATE FOOTBALL YEARBOOK

James Franklin 2014James Franklin was named Penn State’s 16th head coach on January 11, 2014. Franklin daily reinforces the four core values for the program to return to National Championship contention and “Dominate The State.” A native of Langhorne, Pennsylvania, Franklin led Penn State to its first bowl appearance since 2011 with an overtime win over Boston College in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl. Prior to coming to Penn State, Franklin led Vanderbilt University to unprecedented success from 2011-13 as head coach, including consecutive nine-win seasons and bowl wins in 2012 and ‘13 and back to back Top 25 finishes, all for the first time in Vanderbilt history. He was a two-time All-PSAC quarterback at East Stroudsburg, where he set or tied 23 school records. He graduated in 1995 and has been on the sidelines every season since.

PENN STATE COACHES’ RECORDS

1949 Joe Bedenk led Penn State to a record of 5-4 in his only season as head coach. A 1924 Penn State graduate from Williamsport, Pennsylvania, he lettered three years at guard and captained the 1923 squad. He also served as baseball coach, compiling a record of 410-161-6 from 1931-62. Nine of his baseball teams played in the NCAA Tournament and three appeared in the College World Series, including 1957, when the Nittany Lions placed second. Bedenk was elected to the College Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966 and was one of the founders of the American Association of College Baseball Coaches. He lived in State College, Pennsylvania, following his retirement in 1963, until his death in 1978.

Bill O’Brien was named the Nittany Lions’ 15th head coach on January 6, 2012 and quickly established his vision and continued the program’s athletic and academic success during the most challenging period in the University’s history. Amidst an unprecedented situation in college athletics, O’Brien’s work-ethic and no-nonsense approach guided the team to two of the most rewarding seasons in program history. The Nittany Lions posted records of 8-4 and 7-5 during his two seasons, with a 10-6 Big Ten record, including a 6-2 mark in 2012. O’Brien’s eight wins in 2012 were the most by a first-year coach in school history and led to numerous honors, including Bear Bryant and ESPN Coach of the Year and the Maxwell Football Club Collegiate Coach of the Year. He also was the Big Ten Dave McClain Coach of the Year. O’Brien came to Penn State after helping the New England Patriots to two Super Bowls from 2007-11, serving as quarterbacks coach the last three years. O’Brien was named head coach of the NFL’s Houston Texans on January 3, 2014.
