SUCCESS INTO THE B1G

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

BY THE NUMBERS

An offer was extended in 1990 from the oldest and most storied athletic conference to the iconic Blue & White. 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 27th season as a marquee player in the conference.

Christian Hackenberg (left) was just the third 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).

MAKING STOPS

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. Robinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 97 catches and 1,432 yards in 2013 are both Penn State single-season records.

In 26 seasons in the Big Ten, Penn State has claimed 27 individual awards, including six Defensive Player of the Year honorees and five Offensive Player of the Year winners (2016 & 2017 winner, Saquon Barkley, above). The list also includes three Freshmen of the Year and 13 positional award winners.

In 2007, Penn State had the top two tacklers in the Big Ten, with Dan Connor (11.2, above right) and Sean Lee (10.6, above left) 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.

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 & White. Like they had all season, the Nittany Lions leaned on one another, offense supported defense and the sideline did everything possible to turn the game in favor of the Blue & White. Outscoring the Badgers, 24-3, in the second half, Penn State rallied to notch its fourth Big Ten crown since joining the conference in 1993.

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 Big Ten titles since 1993.

GET UP, IT’S GAMEDAY ESPN’s “College GameDay” was on site for a Penn State football contest at the 2016 Big Ten Championship Game. 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 and it was no surprise that he picked his Nittany Lions as the victor.

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 McSorley to start the second half.

POSTSEASON PROWESS B2B NEW YEAR’S SIX 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 2016 and 2017 seasons marked the 10th time the Blue & White played in back-to-back New Year’s Six bowl games and the first since the 1985 and 1986 seasons. 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.

PERFECT IN THE DESERT Penn State capped the 2017 season with a 35-28 victory over Washington to keep its record perfect in seven Fiesta Bowl appearances. Quarterback Trace McSorley earned Offensive MVP and Marcus Allen claimed Defensive MVP in the thrilling victory at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

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 all-time.

101 Points scored by Penn State (49) and USC (52) in the 2017 game, the most in regulation in Rose Bowl history

60 Penn State is the only team in Rose Bowl history with two scoring plays of 60-plus yards in a game

QUICK STRIKE In only four appearances, Penn State’s offense has been as fast at scoring as any other program in Rose Bowl history. Of the 15 fastest scoring drives, the Nittany Lions own five of them. The Blue & White and Georgia are the only programs with multiple scoring efforts in 15 seconds or fewer, with Trace McSorley’s 5-second touchdown run in the 2017 contest the fastest score in the event’s history. 0:05 0:11 0:12 0:13 0:17

THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN Since Elgie Tobin won the first NFL Championship in 1920, Penn Staters have dotted NFL rosters. With 356 players drafted all-time, Penn State is among the top-10 NCAA institutions in producing professional talent. There has been a Nittany Lion in 48 of the 53 Super Bowl games, with 56 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.

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 Kerry Collins a member of the 2018 class, Penn State now has 24 players and coaches who are members of the College Football Hall of Fame. Five coaches and 19 players have earned their way into college footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hall of Fame, with five of them being running backs and four more playing on both offense and defense during their careers. The 25th inductee with Penn State ties was former Nittany Lion Bill Bowes, who was enshrined in 2016 for his accomplishments as the head coach at New Hampshire.

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, 36 Nittany Lions have either won or been named finalists for 68 major college football awards.

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.”

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

Paul Posluszny made things happen on the field for the Blue & 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 or 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 by the AAU upon the nation’s top amateur athlete.

68/29 On 67 occasions, Nittany Lions have been named finalists for major national awards. Of those 68 finalists, 29 of them have walked away with the hardware. Kerry Collins

Matt Bahr, Chuck Fusina, Pete Harris and Matt Millen also garnered the most heralded distinction in college football.

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.

It’s names like Arrington, Bahr, Barkley, Collins, Mauti and Zordich.

ALL-AMERICANS LIVING UP TO THE MONIKER Many times when college athletics are mentioned, the term “student-athlete” is used and at Penn State that is held with the highest regard. Seventeen different Penn Staters have earned both Academic AllAmerica honors and on-field All-America honors (1st, 2nd or 3rd team) during their respective careers.

Penn State has seen 39 different student-athletes named consensus All-American for 42 honors, including nine since 2000. Of those 39, there have been 14 Penn Staters to earn unanimous All-America selection, with Saquon Barkley doing so in 2017.

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.

WE ARE

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.

Ki-Jana Carter and the College GameDay crew

GAMEDAY BUILT IN HAPPY VALLEY 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 seven occasions, including the 2018 Penn State White Out game vs. Ohio State. Sports Illustrated dubbed it the “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 of the famous Berkey 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. 2007

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.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL’S UNRIVALED SETTING

107K STRONG Penn State fans fill Beaver Stadium to the brim every fall, providing an electric and exciting atmosphere for the Nittany Lions each Saturday inside the nation’s second-largest venue. The eruption of 107,000 blue and white clad fans fill the valley as the team emerges from the South Tunnel and the steel foundation of the stadium shakes when “Zombie Nation” pumps through the speakers on a pivotal third-down stand.

HAPPY VALLEY PLAN AN ADVENTURE Looking to add some adventure to your life? State College was named one of National Geographic’s Top 100 Adventure Towns. From the Waffle Shop to Mt. Nittany, local music and fly fishing, Penn State’s central Pennsylvania positioning makes Happy Valley a hidden gem. The Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts (Arts Fest) brings more than 125,000 people to Happy Valley over five days each July. The Festival is one of the nation’s premier outdoor fine art events made possible by tremendous community support to produce a unique cultural experience.

WE ARE… A COLLEGE TOWN Using a matrix of a dozen factors, including livability, education, safety and activities, BusinessInsider.com rated State College as the No. 15 College Town, including the top campus in the Commonwealth. The University Park campus is also known as a top-25 public university and one of the top destinations for student-athletes in the country via Niche.com.

16,000+ THERE FROM THE START “The Corner Room” located on the corner of South Allen 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 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 $157 million in its history for Four Diamonds at Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital. 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 known 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 In 2016-17, the offensive unit claimed Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CHAMPS Cup for community outreach for the second-straight year. As a team, the Nittany Lions have compiled more than 10,000 hours of community servicerelated activities since head coach James Franklin arrived on campus, including a program record 2,200 hours in 2015-16. In each of the last four seasons, Penn State has accumulated more than 2,000 hours of community service.

WE ARE

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 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Blue & 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 — and 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.

WE ARE

RAISING THE BAR

MAN BEHIND THE MISSION

For 17 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. After bringing in $93,685 in 2018, the all-time total has been pushed to nearly $1.4 million raised to benefit patient-focused programs and rare disease research.

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 Combine-style 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.

FAMILY MAN

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 125 sons and every decision he makes is based on that premise.

In his seven years as a head coach, Franklin has guided each of his teams to the postseason, including a victory in the 2017 PlayStation Fiesta 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, he guided the Blue & White to the 2016 TaxSlayer Bowl and arrived at the 2017 Rose Bowl as the Big Ten champion. The Nittany Lions concluded the 2018 season at the VRBO Citrus 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 to 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.

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 Stroudsburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 25th season in coaching, with 24 years at the collegiate level. He also spent one season with the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Green Bay Packers as the wide receivers coach.

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another, and the John and Willie Leone Family Strength and Conditioning Center is where the Nittany Lions lay the foundation for success on the field. The veterans lead the newcomers in showing them exactly what is expected on a daily basis.

WE ARE

FOLLOWING A MASTER Dwight Galt, the Assistant Athletics Director for Performance Enhancement, earned the prestigious distinction as a Master Strength and Conditioning Coach, while also holding his certification from the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coachesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association. Galt has worked with some of the top testers at the NFL Combine, including Saquon Barkley, Vernon Davis, Darrius Heyward-Bey and Shawn Merriman.

HITTING THE WEIGHTS & REFUELING More than 20,000 pounds of free weights stack on 24 stations inside the walls of the strength and conditioning center. Each station is prepared for every rep and set and contains equipment for full body workouts.

A state-of-the-art nutrition bar facility sits adjacent to the 13,000-square-foot strength and conditioning center, which is designed to provide pre- and post-workout fueling. The station features six Vitamix blenders for high volume smoothie making, refrigerators, coolers, shelves and display areas for more than 20 different products.

NITTANY LION CLUB

FOREVER BLUE & WHITE Athletic 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 will always 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 June 2019, 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 Vice President of Intercollegiate Athletics, to purposes ranging from academic support and special medical care for team members, to recruiting 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.

2019 PENN STATE FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

The University invests endowed gifts in perpetuity and uses a portion of the annual income for the purposes intended by the donor.

University in 1996, working with the secondary. • He then was the wide receivers coach at James Madison (1997), a graduate assistant (tight ends) at Washington State in 1998 and the wide receivers coach at Idaho State (1999). • In 2000, Franklin was named the wide receivers coach at Maryland under head coach Ron Vanderlinden, who would go on to coach the Penn State linebackers from 2001-13. • Franklin continued in that role under new head coach Ralph Friedgen in 2002 and 2003 and helped the Terps to three consecutive 10-win seasons, including an appearance in the 2002 FedEx Orange Bowl. In 2003, Franklin added duties as recruiting coordinator and directed back-to-back recruiting classes ranked in the Top 25 nationally. Franklin and former Nittany Lion head coach Bill O’Brien (running backs) were Maryland assistant coaches in 2003 and 2004 under Friedgen. • After five successful years at Maryland, Franklin was named wide receivers coach on Mike Sherman’s Green Bay Packers staff in 2005. During that season, Green Bay ranked third in the NFL in receptions (383) and seventh in receiving yards (3,766). Donald Driver was among the top receivers in the NFL, ranking second in receptions and eighth in receiving yards, with a thencareer-high 86 catches for 1,221 yards. • Franklin served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Kansas State during the 2006-07 seasons under head coach Ron Prince. In 2006, he helped the Wildcats to their first winning season in four years. Franklin coached quarterback Josh Freeman and oversaw an offense that produced a 3,000-yard passer (Freeman), 1,500-yard receiver (All-American wide receiver Jordy Nelson) and 1,000-yard rusher (James Johnson) during the 2007 season, a first in school history. Freeman would go on to become the Wildcats’ highest NFL offensive draft pick since 1954 when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected him 17th overall in the 2009 NFL Draft. • Franklin returned to Maryland in 2008 as the Terps’ assistant head coach and offensive coordinator. He helped the Terrapins to victories in the 2008 Humanitarian Bowl and the 2010 Military Bowl. The 2010 squad was among the national leaders in scoring offense at 32.2 points per game and was led by ACC Rookie of the Year quarterback Danny O’Brien. He threw for 2,438 yards, 22 touchdowns and only eight interceptions in 2010, with All-ACC receiver Torrey Smith making 67 catches for 1,055 yards and 12 scores. • In 1998, Franklin began his participation in the NFL’s Minority Coaching Fellowship Program, starting with a stint with the Miami Dolphins and working with Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino. Franklin also worked with Donovan McNabb of the Philadelphia Eagles (1999) and Minnesota Vikings (2008) in the NFL program. PLAYING CAREER • Franklin was a four-year letterman at quarterback and a two-time All-PSAC selection at East Stroudsburg. • Franklin graduated having broken or tied 23 school records. • He set seven school records as a senior to earn team MVP honors and was a Harlon Hill Trophy nominee as the NCAA Division II Player of the Year. • Among the season records he set were for total offense (3,128 yards), passing yards (2,586) and touchdown passes (19). • Franklin was inducted into the East Stroudsburg Athletics Hall of Fame October 15, 2016.

COACHING ACCOMPLISHMENTS • A native of Altoona, Pennsylvania, Brent Pry’s coaching career enters its 28th year and began during James Franklin’s final two seasons as an AllPSAC quarterback at East Stroudsburg University. • Pry has helped each program he’s coached to success, including 13 bowl appearances, with top-25 finishes in total defense in seven of his last nine seasons (three at Penn State; three at Vanderbilt; 1 at Georgia Southern). • He has played an instrumental role in working with top 10 defenses at Penn State, Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech, Georgia Southern and Western Carolina. • Pry was promoted to defensive coordinator at Penn State Jan. 10, 2016. • In 2018, the defense paced the Lions, finishing in the top 20 in yards per pass attempt (5th; 5.67), passing efficiency (8th; 106.10), red zone defense (11th; .750), passing yards allowed (15th; 181.5), yards per play (15th; 4.72) and third down conversion defense (19th; .336). • The Penn State defense was a permanent fixture in the opposition’s backfield in 2018, leading the country in sacks (3.62) for the second time in the last four years and ranking fourth in tackles for loss (8.2). • The Nittany Lions landed a pair of players on the 2018 All-Big Ten first team (Amani Oruwariye, Yetur Gross-Matos) and had six defensive selections on the all-conference squad. • Linebacker Micah Parsons became the first freshman (true or redshirt) in Penn State history to lead the team in tackles with 83 stops in 2018. • In 2017, All-Big Ten linebacker Jason Cabinda was the leader of the defense that helped the Nittany Lions to a second-straight New Year’s Six bowl game for the first time since 1985 (Orange) and 1986 (Fiesta). • Pry, who was a 2017 Broyles Award nominee for top assistant coach in the country, developed a dominant defense that finished in the top 25 in FBS in scoring defense (7th; 16.5), sacks (7th; 3.23), rushing defense (14th; 118.0), total defense (17th; 329.5), team passing efficiency defense (21st; 114.88), turnovers gained (23rd; 25) and tackles for loss (25th; 7.2). • Penn State’s 16.5 points allowed per game in 2017 were the fewest since the 2009 squad gave up 12.2 tallies per contest. • In his first season as defensive coordinator, Pry helped the Nittany Lions to the 2016 Big Ten Championship by guiding a defense that finished 37th in FBS total defense (367.9), seventh in tackles for loss (8.1) and 19th in sacks (2.86) despite a significant number of injuries to the linebacking corps. • As co-defensive coordinator for Penn State, Pry helped direct a unit that had back-to-back Top 15 finishes in total defense. In 2015, the Nittany Lions finished 14th, giving up 324.5 yards per game. Under Pry’s tutelage in 2014, the Penn State defense finished second in FBS in total defense, allowing just 278.7 yards per game, improving 46 spots from the 2013 season when the Lions finished 48th while giving up 381.3 yards per game. • In 2014, Pry was a finalist for Football Scoop’s Linebackers Coach of the Year to continue the “Linebacker U” tradition. • Mike Hull earned the Butkus-Fitzgerald Big Ten Linebacker of the Year award and eight All-America honors in 2014. Hull led the Big Ten with 140 tackles, tied for fourth in school season history. • Pry tutored the Vanderbilt linebackers and was co-defensive coordinator from 2011-13. The linebackers led the team in tackles for loss during each of Pry’s three seasons and he helped Chris Marve earn All-SEC honors in 2011. • While at Georgia Southern in 2010, his defensive unit helped the Eagles to a win over No. 1 Appalachian State and an appearance in the NCAA FCS semifinals. • A member of the Memphis staff from 2007-09, Pry’s defensive line corps helped the Tigers to back-to-back bowl appearances. • He also coached at Louisiana-Lafayette (2002-06), boosting the Ragin’ Cajuns to their first Sun Belt Conference championship, Western Carolina (1998-2001) and Virginia Tech (1995-97), helping the Hokies to three bowl games as a graduate assistant, including a win in the 1995 Sugar Bowl. • Pry coached the East Stroudsburg outside linebackers and defensive backs in 1993-94. Pry’s father, Jim, has been a college football coach for 40 years and was Franklin’s offensive coordinator at East Stroudsburg.

PITTSBURGH – No. 13/10 Penn State never trailed as success in all three phases of the game and a dominant second half led the Nittany Lions to a 51-6 victory over Pittsburgh on a rainy night at Heinz Field. The 45-point margin of victory was the largest in the Penn StatePitt series since a 56-point win (65-9) over the Panthers in 1968. The teams were only separated by a missed extra point (7-6) for the majority of the first half, but Penn State never looked back after quarterback Trace McSorley connected with wide receiver KJ Hamler for a touchdown just before halftime, giving the Lions a 14-6 lead. The seven points were the first of 44 unanswered that the Nittany Lions would score, 37 coming in the second half. The Nittany Lion defense held Pitt to 69 yards in the second half, including minus-2 in the third quarter. On offense, McSorley rushed and passed for a touchdown, Mark Allen rushed for a touchdown and quarterback Sean Clifford threw a 34-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Polk on his first career play. On special teams, DeAndre Thompkins returned a punt for a touchdown, while the defense added two points with a safety. McSorley completed 14-of-30 passes for 145 yards as wet and rainy conditions factored in several dropped passes, but he threw for two touchdowns and rushed five times for 36 yards and a touchdown. Hamler was the leading receiver with three catches for 40 yards and a touchdown, and he also scored Penn State’s first touchdown of the game on a jet sweep from 32 yards out. Additionally, running back Miles Sanders posted his first career 100-yard rushing game, totaling 118 yards on 16 carries, with a long rush of 41 yards. KEYS AND DIFFERENCE MAKERS Turnovers and Field Position Pitt was stopped twice inside the Penn State 5-yard line in the first half, as cornerback Amani Oruwariye intercepted a Pitt pass at the 3-yard line late in the first quarter and cornerback Zech McPhearson dropped Pitt running back Qadree Ollison for a 3-yard loss on fourth-and-3 at the Penn State 4 late in the second quarter. Penn State benefitted from another turnover late in the first half following the fourth-down stop. The Nittany Lions went threeand-out, but punter Blake Gillikin boomed a 47-yard punt to the Pitt 38. Penn State then forced a three-and-out and Pitt punter Kirk Christodoulou fumbled the snap, allowing Jarvis Miller to recover it for Penn State at the Pitt 35. It took Penn State just three plays to find the end zone. After an incompletion, Sanders rushed for 21 yards and then McSorley found Hamler wide open over the middle for a 14yard touchdown reception and a 14-6 lead.

Second Half Defense Pitt outgained Penn State 231-188 in the first half, with 214 yards rushing, but the Nittany Lions tightened up in the second half. Pitt lost 2 yards in the third quarter and managed just 71 yards in the fourth, also only gaining just five first downs. Penn State never let Pitt’s passing game off the ground, holding quarterback Kenny Pickett to just 55 yards on nine completions and an interception on 18 passing attempts for the game. Miles Sanders (PSU, RB) and the Ground Game Penn State surpassed 200 yards rushing as a team for a fifth consecutive game, led by Sanders’ 118 yards. McSorley added 36 yards and a touchdown on five carries, while Hamler’s first career rush went for 32 yards and a touchdown. Allen rushed for 12 yards and his first touchdown since the 2016 season. Trace McSorley (PSU, QB) McSorley was responsible for three touchdowns, throwing for two and running for one. He completed 14-of-30 passes for 145 yards and touchdowns to redshirt freshmen Hamler and Mac Hippenhammer, while running for a touchdown amongst his five carries for 36 yards. It was McSorley’s 18th career game with both a rushing and passing touchdown. KJ Hamler (Penn State, WR/KR) Hamler enjoyed his first multi-touchdown game, registering the game’s first score on a 32-yard run, and then hauling in a 14-yard touchdown catch just before halftime to give Penn State a 14-6 lead going into the locker room. His three receptions were a game high, and he totaled 40 yards. Penalties Penn State proved to be the more disciplined team and was flagged just six times in the first two weeks. The Nittany Lions totaled just four penalties for 45 yards, while Pitt committed 13 penalties for 101 yards. A roughing the passer penalty keyed Penn State’s first scoring drive in the third quarter, as it occurred on a third-down play that was short of the line to gain.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Senior quarterback Trace McSorley accounted for five touchdowns as No. 11/10 Penn State totaled 643 yards of total offense in a 63-10 victory over Kent State in front of 106,528 fans at Beaver Stadium. For the Penn State offense, McSorley threw for 229 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 54 yards and a career-high-tying three touchdowns. His top target was DeAndre Thompkins, who made four catches for 101 yards, including a diving 40-yard reception in the end zone. On the ground, seven Penn Staters combined for 297 yards with Miles Sanders posting 86 yards on 14 carries, while Mark Allen, Ricky Slade and Johnathan Thomas each rushed for a touchdown. The Penn State defense held the up-tempo Kent State offense to 221 yards, with just 41 yards allowed on the ground. Cam Brown led the unit with seven tackles, while Penn State totaled seven sacks, led by Shareef Miller and Jayson Oweh with 2.0 each. Miller also led the team with 3.0 tackles for loss. The Nittany Lion offense tallied its first touchdown of the afternoon with 12:51 left in the first quarter of play when McSorley hit Thompkins for a 40-yard touchdown pass. Kent State then tied the game at 7-7 on a 47-yard touchdown pass from Woody Barrett to Mike Carrigan on the ensuing drive, but Penn State went on to outscore Kent State, 56-3, down the stretch to secure the win. A pair of freshmen secured the longest play from scrimmage in Penn State history in the fourth quarter, as quarterback Sean Clifford found a wide-open Daniel George for a 95-yard touchdown reception. KEYS AND DIFFERENCE MAKERS Trace McSorley (PSU, QB) McSorley was responsible for five touchdowns, throwing for two and rushing for three in just three quarters of work. He completed 11-of-22 pass attempts for 229 yards, marking the 24th time he has surpassed 200 yards passing in a game to extend his Penn State record. With 54 rushing yards on the day, McSorley became the 44th Nittany Lion to pass the 1,000-yard mark and only the second quarterback. McSorley’s three rushing touchdowns give him 24 for his career, setting a Penn State record for most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback. It was also McSorley’s 19th game with both a passing and rushing touchdown (seven in 2016, nine in 2017, three in 2018).

Chunk Plays Penn State was able to gain yards in chunks, highlighted by its longest play from scrimmage in history, as quarterback Clifford and George connected on a 95-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter. Penn State opened the game with a 19-yard completion to Sanders and following that with a 56-yard touchdown pass that was nullified by a penalty. The latter did not matter though as Thompkins made a diving catch in the end zone for a 40-yard touchdown reception for the game’s first score. Kent State was able to answer with a 47-yard touchdown pass though from Barrett to Carrigan. It was the Golden Flashes’ lone touchdown for the game. Big runs keyed Penn State’s next two scoring drives of the first quarter, as an 18-yard McSorley run with a personal foul penalty tacked on setup the second, and a 19-yard Allen run setup the third. Kent State left Penn State just 25 seconds on offense, but a 22yard completion to Hamler moved the Nittany Lions to the 13, from where McSorley would rush into the end zone from 13 yards for a 2810 halftime lead. The big plays continued in the second half. A career-long 23-yard reception by freshman tight end Pat Freiermuth moved Penn State into the red zone, setting up an eventual Allen touchdown and a 3510 lead. Penn State extended its lead to 42-10 following a two-play scoring drive keyed by a 39-yard reception by Thompkins. Slade rushed into the end zone from just 2 yards out on the following play. Cam Sullivan-Brown hauled in a 66-yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter, but it was wiped away by another holding penalty. Again, it did not matter, as McSorley later connected with Brandon Polk for a career-long 41-yard touchdown reception and a 49-10 lead. Clifford and George’s 95-yard play was not the last big one of the day, as Johnathan Thomas broke free for 69-yard run on the game’s final drive. DeAndre Thompkins (PSU, WR) Thompkins’ 101 yards on the day sent him over the 1,000-yard mark for his career. Thompkins now has 1,017 career receiving yards, becoming the 31st player in program history to reach that mark. The 100-yard effort was the second of his career, joining his 102-yard performance against Michigan State in 2017.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – No. 10/9 Penn State totaled 387 rushing yards, led by 200 yards and three touchdowns from junior running back Miles Sanders, as it defeated Illinois, 63-24, in Memorial Stadium. Penn State put the game out of reach with 42 unanswered points in the second half, including 35 in the fourth quarter. The Nittany Lions had built a 21-7 lead to start, only to see Illinois score the next 17 points for a 24-21 lead early in the third quarter. However, a Sanders 48-yard touchdown run with 8:36 remaining in the third put Penn State back ahead, and the Lions never looked back. The fourth quarter scoring surge pushed Penn State past 50 points for a third consecutive game – a school first – and marked the first time since 1917 that Penn State scored 60-plus points in consecutive games. Joining Sanders in the prolific Penn State running attack was senior quarterback Trace McSorley, who rushed for a career-high 92 yards, and freshman running back Ricky Slade, who ran for a 61-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter and totaled a career-best 94 yards and two touchdowns for the game. McSorley added three passing touchdowns, completing 12-of-19 passes for 160 yards. Freshman tight end Pat Freiermuth hauled in his first career touchdown reception, while Juwan Johnson and KJ Hamler came up with big touchdown receptions in the second half. KEYS AND DIFFERENCE MAKERS Ground Game Both teams had success on the ground in the first half, but Penn State persisted in the second half to total 387 yards for the game – its most since running for 389 against Youngstown State in 2006. Illinois finished with 245 yards rushing. Penn State rushed for 206 yards in the first half and Illinois added 174, but the Nittany Lions outgained the Illini 181-71 in the second half. Sanders led Penn State by rushing 22 times for 200 yards and three touchdowns – all career highs – with 14 carries, 113 yards and two touchdowns coming in the first half. It was the 28th 200yard rushing performance in Penn State history. McSorley rushed for 83 yards in the first half and added one more carry to finish with a career-high 92 yards. Slade added 94 yards and two touchdowns on 10 carries, with all but one carry for 10 yards coming in the second half.

Turnovers It was a tale of two halves in the turnover battle, with Illinois holding the upper-hand in the first half and Penn State taking advantage in the second. The Nittany Lions committed two turnovers in the first half and failed to scoop up an Illinois fumble on the goal line. Penn State’s first drive rolled for 55 yards until Illinois’ Stanley Green forced a fumble on the third play and Michael Marchese recovered it. Illinois was unable to take advantage and Penn State built a two-touchdown lead, but Illinois cut the lead to one score after recovering a fumble forced by linebacker Cam Brown inside the 1, and then connecting on a touchdown pass to Rick Smalling on the very next play. McSorley was then intercepted by Delano Ware with 28 seconds remaining in the second quarter, and Illinois kicked a field goal to trim the Penn State lead to four. However, Penn State linebackers Jan Johnson and Ellis Brooks tallied their first career interceptions in the fourth quarter to contribute to the Nittany Lions’ rout. With Penn State leading 35-24, Jan Johnson picked a bobbled pass at the Illinois 21, and McSorley found Hamler in the end zone on the first play of the ensuing drive. Brooks setup the final touchdown with a 22-yard interception return to the Illinois 10. Second-Half Defense Penn State limited Illinois to just 166 yards and seven points in the second half, as the Nittany Lion defensive unit nearly pulled off its third consecutive second-half shutout. Penn State was led in tackles by safety Jonathan Sutherland with a career-high eight, while fellow safety Garrett Taylor totaled seven and tied for the team lead with 1.5 stops behind the line.

KEYS AND DIFFERENCE MAKERS Trace McSorley (PSU, QB) McSorley totaled 461 yards of total offense, rushing for a careerhigh 175 yards on 25 carries and completing 16-of-32 passes for 286 yards and two touchdowns. The effort broke former Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg’s school record of 456 yards of total offense set against UCF in 2014, and McSorley’s 175 rushing yards rank as the second-most by a quarterback in a game in program history and the most since Eugene “Shorty” Miller ran for 250 yards in 1913 against Carnegie Tech. McSorley set career highs for his longest run and longest pass play, with a 51-yard rush in the first quarter and a 93-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver KJ Hamler in the second quarter. The latter gave Penn State a 13-0 lead with 5:59 remaining in the first half and marked his 33rd consecutive game with a touchdown pass. McSorley’s second touchdown of the night put Penn State back in the lead after falling behind in the third quarter. A 36-yard completion to Hamler and a 15-yard rush by McSorley moved the Nittany Lions to the Ohio State 2, and McSorley lofted a pass to the back of the end zone for freshman tight end Pat Freiermuth, who pulled it in with one hand for a go-ahead touchdown, 20-14, with 12:22 remaining. Of his 175 yards rushing, 99 were in the second half.

Haskins was held to just seven completions on 16 attempts for 62 yards, an interception and a touchdown in the first half, but completed 15-of-23 passes for 208 yards and two touchdowns in the second. Parris Campbell caught seven passes for 60 yards to lead the Buckeyes in both categories, while Hill followed with six receptions for 59 yards and the game-winning touchdown. J.K. Dobbins’ two catches for 61 yards were both impactful. He scored Ohio State’s first touchdown of the game on a 26-yard reception from Haskins with 1:50 remaining in the first half, and then moved the Buckeyes from their own 4 to the 39 with a 35-yard reception to start their eventual game-winning, eight-play, 96-yard touchdown drive in the fourth quarter. Victor also scored a receiving touchdown, weaving through the Penn State defense for a 47-yard score with 6:42 remaining in the game, pulling the Buckeyes to within five, 26-21. Points Off Turnovers A Garrett Taylor interception – the first of his career – set up Pinegar’s second field goal of the night. Taylor picked a pass off the hands of Johnnie Dixon at the Penn State 27, and then returned it 45 yards to the Ohio State 28. The Lions were unable to advance into the red zone for a first down, so Pinegar converted from 39 yards out with 11:18 remaining in the second quarter for a 6-0 Penn State lead. Ohio State’s first points came off a Penn State fumble. Late in the second half, Tuf Borland was able to punch the ball loose from Sanders and Dre’Mont Jones recovered it at the Penn State 25. On the Buckeyes’ second play from scrimmage from the 26, Haskins dumped the ball off to Dobbins, and sprinted down the sideline for the touchdown with 1:50 remaining in the half, pulling the Buckeyes within six points, 13-7.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Penn State quarterback Trace McSorley became the school’s all-time passing yards leader and running back Miles Sanders rushed for 162 yards and a touchdown against the nation’s No. 1 rush defense, but Michigan State rallied for a 21-17 victory over the No. 8 Nittany Lions. Penn State held a 17-14 advantage with less than 1:30 to play before Michigan State put together an eight-play, 76-yard touchdown drive to pull ahead 21-17 with 19 seconds left on the clock. Spartan quarterback Brian Lewerke connected with Felton Davis III on a 25-yard reception for the score. KJ Hamler returned the ensuing kickoff 24 yards to the Penn State 26 and caught a 20-yard pass to advance the Lions to the 46, but the Spartans pressured McSorley on the final play and his throw fell incomplete as time expired. Penn State’s last five losses have been by a total of just 12 points, the smallest margin of defeat over five losses in program history. The Spartans’ late go-ahead touchdown marked the only time they led all afternoon. McSorley continued to rewrite the program history books, becoming Penn State’s all-time leader in career passing yards. He finished the day with 192 passing yards to total 8,610 for his career, surpassing Christian Hackenberg’s previous program standard of 8,457. Sanders also achieved a milestone against the Spartans, eclipsing 1,000-career rushing yards to become the 45th Nittany Lion to do so. KEYS AND DIFFERENCE MAKERS Miles Sanders and the Penn State Running Game Sanders totaled 162 yards on 17 carries, breaking free for a career-long 78-yard run in the first quarter to setup Penn State’s first touchdown and for a 48-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. McSorley added 37 yards on the ground and running back Ricky Slade added eight for a total of 205 yards. Penn State has rushed for 200 or more yards in its last nine consecutive games. The Michigan State defense had only surrendered 169 rushing yards total in all five of its games combined this season prior to Sanders’ 162-yard performance against it, and his 78-yard run was more than Michigan State had allowed in any game this season.

Michigan State Defense in the Second Half Although Michigan State allowed a season-high rushing yard total on the ground, only 39 of those yards were allowed in the second half. Accordingly, the Spartans limited Penn State to just a field goal over the final 30 minutes, slowing the Nittany Lions top-ranked, second-half scoring offense, which entered the day averaging 31 second-half points per game. Safety Khari Willis led the unit with nine tackles and a forced fumble that linebacker Tyriq Thompson recovered to halt Penn State’s game-opening drive at the Michigan State 33. The Spartans, managed just one sack on the day, but the sack was a crucial one McSorley slipped on fourth-and-4 in the third quarter after a Penn State drive start in Michigan State territory. Trace McSorley (PSU, QB) McSorley became the all-time leading passer in Penn State history with his 192 yards passing, completing 19-of-32 passing attempts with one touchdown. Brian Lewerke (MSU, QB) and Felton Davis III (MSU, WR) Lewerke completed 24-of-52 pass attempts for 259 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. Davis III was his top target, catching eight passes for 100 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner. KJ Hamler (PSU, WR) Hamler was Penn State’s leading receiver, catching five passes for 66 yards and a touchdown. It was his fifth touchdown grab in six career games, and he added 57 yards on kickoff returns to total 123 all-purpose yards for his fifth game with 100 or more all-purpose yards. Garrett Taylor (PSU, S) Taylor had an interception in the third quarter, a career-high five pass breakups and a forced fumble at the goal line that Michigan State retained in the second quarter.

3:47 5-2, 2-2 B1G 4-4, 1-4 B1G

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Senior quarterback Trace McSorley rushed for 107 yards and two touchdowns and was aided by big plays on defense and special teams, as No. 18/16 Penn State defeated Indiana, 33-28, in Big Ten football action in Memorial Stadium. McSorley’s 34-game streak with a passing touchdown came to an end, but his 327 yards of total offense and two scores led the Penn State offense. Running back Miles Sanders added 126 all-purpose yards, catching a team-best six passes for 54 yards and rushing 15 times for 72 yards and a touchdown. Turnovers and special teams were a factor as Penn State generated 10 points off of two fumble recoveries, while a pair of big kickoff returns by KJ Hamler (58 yards) and Johnathan Thomas (94 yards) setup quick Penn State touchdown drives. Indiana was able to generate 554 yards of total offense, running 100 plays, but the Nittany Lion defense came up with a pair of stops in its own territory inside of two minutes at the end of the first half and another stop after Indiana recovered an onside kick with 49 seconds remaining. Indiana was able to take leads twice in the game, once in the first quarter and once in the third, but McSorley’s two rushing scores, with one late in the third quarter and another early in the fourth, clinched the game for the Nittany Lions.

Turnovers Penn State generated 10 points off three second-half takeaways. Defensive tackle PJ Mustipher forced a fumble on the edge of the red zone on Indiana’s first drive of the third quarter, and safety Garrett Taylor recovered it, leading to a Penn State field goal drive. In the fourth quarter, Jonathan Sutherland forced a fumble on a punt, and Nick Scott recovered it at the Indiana 32, setting up Penn State’s final touchdown drive. Scott then came up with an interception with 4:35 remaining in the game, ending a crucial Indiana drive. Indiana was unable to take advantage of a McSorley interception in the second quarter and was unable to recover any of Penn State’s three muffed kicks. The Hoosiers did get one last chance to try and take the game after recovering an onside kick. That gave Indiana one last offensive possession with 49 seconds remaining.

KEYS AND DIFFERENCE MAKERS Trace McSorley (PSU, QB) McSorley completed 19-of-36 passes for 220 yards, adding to his school record with his 26th career 200-yard passing game, and also rushed for 107 yards and two touchdowns. His rushing yardage total ranks as the second most of his career and the 10th most by a Penn State quarterback all-time, and gives him a career-best 554 rushing yards this season, which ranks as the second-most by a Penn State quarterback all time (Michael Robinson, 806 yds; 2005). McSorley also became the 11th player in Big Ten history to surpass 10,000 career yards of total offense in Big Ten history, as he now has 10,283 career total yards. McSorley was held without a touchdown pass, ending an FBSleading 34-game streak. It ranks as the fifth-longest in Autonomy Five history. Penn State was not without a touchdown pass though, as quarterback Tommy Stevens threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to tight end Pat Freiermuth out of the “Lion” package.

Miles Sanders (PSU, RB) Sanders was Penn State’s leading receiver, setting career highs with six receptions for 54 yards. He also rushed 15 times for 72 yards and a touchdown.

Penn State Kick Returns KJ Hamler opened the game with a 58-yard kickoff return, leading to a short Penn State touchdown drive, and Johnathan Thomas answered an Indiana go-ahead touchdown late in the third quarter with a 94-yard kickoff return, which setup a one-play touchdown drive to put Penn State ahead for good, 26-21.

Indiana Offense Quarterbacks Peyton Ramsey and Michael Penix Jr. combined to complete 35-of-55 passes for 330 yards, a touchdown and an interception, while Stevie Scott led a rushing attack that totaled 224 yards with 138 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries. Penn State Defense The Nittany Lions faced 100 plays, but came up big in the final two minutes of the second and fourth quarters, preventing Indiana from taking the lead despite getting two possessions each in twominute situations. Yetur Gross-Matos led the unit with a career-high 10 tackles and two sacks, while Shaka Toney added a career-high four sacks, tying the Penn State single-game record.

2018 SEASON IN REVIEW

GAME RECAP UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – A gutsy effort by senior quarterback Trace McSorley, big stops on defense and three 40-plus yard field goals by true freshman kicker and Iowa native Jake Pinegar led No. 17/16 Penn State past No. 18 Iowa, 30-24. Iowa threatened late, but the Penn State defense came up with two big stops in the final minutes to preserve Penn State’s lead. Senior safety Nick Scott halted a drive at the Nittany Lion 2-yard line with his second interception in as many weeks with 3:18 remaining, and then time ran out on the Hawkeyes after they regained the ball at their own 23 with 1:23 remaining. Penn State’s defense shutout Iowa’s offense in the second half, as the Hawkeyes’ only second-half points came on a pick-six by Geno Stone with 10:00 remaining in the fourth quarter. The only other touchdown for Iowa came on a fake field goal play in the first quarter. McSorley, who missed three offensive drives in the second quarter due to an apparent injury, scored his first touchdown of the game with a 51-yard run less than three minutes into the third quarter to give Penn State its first lead over the Hawkeyes, 24-17. Pinegar added two field goals in the second half, including a SCORING SUMMARY career-long 49-yarder, to give the Nittany Lions a 27-17 advantage 1 2 3 4 OT F with 4:10 left in the third quarter. His 44-yard field goal at the 8:24 IOWA 12 5 0 7 - 24 mark in the fourth quarter gave him three field goals of 40 or more yards, marking the first time this feat was accomplished by a Nittany PSU 7 10 10 3 - 30 Lion since Sam Ficken vs. Maryland in 2013. KJ Hamler set a career long with a 67-yard kickoff return to set 1st 14:08 IOWA 0-2 up the Nittany Lions’ final scoring drive and Pinegar’s field goal.

KEYS AND DIFFERENCE MAKERS Trace McSorley and Tommy Stevens (PSU, QBs) Despite missing three offensive possessions in the first half due to injury, McSorley completed 11-of-25 passes for 167 yards and a touchdown with one interception, and was Penn State’s leading rusher with 63 yards on and a touchdown on 12 carries. McSorley had a career-long touchdown run of 51 yards to start the second half to give Penn State its first lead. In McSorley’s absence, Stevens filled in without missing a beat, completing 2-of-4 passes for 27 yards and rushing for 18 yards on five carries with a touchdown in the second quarter that tied the game for the first time. Interceptions In the second quarter, with Penn State trailing by a touchdown, cornerback John Reid intercepted Iowa’s Stanley at midfield and returned it 44 yards to the Iowa 3-yard line, setting up Stevens’ rushing score. Iowa got back in the game with a fourth-quarter interception, as Stone intercepted McSorley for a 24-yard pick-six with 10 minutes remaining in the game, which pulled the Hawkeyes within three. Iowa was threatening to retake the lead, trailing by six points at Penn State’s 3-yard line with less than 3:30 remaining, but Scott picked off a short lob at the 2 and returned it to the 9 to allow Penn State to run some clock and gain the upper-hand in the field possession battle. KJ Hamler (PSU, WR/KR) Hamler tallied a game-high 188 all-purpose yards, catching five receptions for 96 yards, and totaling 82 yards on kick returns and 10 on punt returns. His career-long 67-yard kick return in the fourth quarter answered an Iowa pick-six, allowing Penn State to build its lead back to six points by setting up a Pinegar field goal. Hamler also had a 39yard reception to key a drive late in the third quarter. Penn State Pass Defense Despite 50 pass attempts by Iowa, Penn State only yielded 19 completions for 215 yards, becoming the sixth team in FBS since 2000 to hold a team to 19 or fewer completions after facing 50 or more attempts. The lone Iowa passing touchdown came on a fake field goal and Reid and Scott hauled in two interceptions. Reid had a game- and career-high three pass breakups, leading Penn State to seven for the game. Iowa’s Nate Stanley was also pressured seven times and sacked three times. Penn State’s 38.0 percent completion percentage allowed was its best since allowing Rutgers to complete just 35.0 percent of its passes (7-of-20) in November 2017.

Middle linebacker Jan Johnson led Penn State with 10 tackles, including seven solo stops, a tackle for loss and a pass breakup on a fourth down in the first half. KEYS AND DIFFERENCE MAKERS Michigan Defense Michigan limited Penn State to 186 yards of offense and just one touchdown, and points off turnovers accounted for half of the Wolverines scoring. Winovich’s fumble recovery in the second quarter led to Michigan’s second touchdown of the game, and Watson and Long’s interceptions put the game out of reach. Watson’s picksix came in the final minute of the third quarter, two plays after a Michigan touchdown had made it 21-0. In the fourth quarter, running back Chris Evans scored four plays after Michigan started at the Penn State 12 following Long’s pick. Karan Higdon (MICH, RB) Higdon rushed for 132 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries. He had a 50-yard run on Michigan’s first possession to key a touchdown drive, and his touchdown came in the fourth quarter to make it a 35-0 game.

Penn State Defense Johnson led the unit with 10 tackles and defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos registered a sack for a fourth consecutive game. The unit faced a tough task with Michigan enjoying an average drive start at its own 41. Step-by-Step Michigan took a 7-0 lead after its first possession, driving 76 yards on eight running plays. Higdon moved the Wolverines into the red zone with a 50-yard rush, and Patterson finished the drive with a 1-yard touchdown run. Michigan threatened on its next offensive drive, but Penn State’s Johnson broke up a fourth-and-2 passing attempt for turnover on downs at the Penn State 40. The Nittany Lions were forced to punt on a third-straight drive, but Blake Gillikin pinned the Wolverines on their own 5. However, a 47-yard completion from Patterson to Nico Collins moved Michigan to the Penn State 37. The Lions yielded just 6 more yards though, to force a 50-yard field goal attempt. Nick Scott blocked the field goal attempt and Garrett Taylor recovered it and returned it for a touchdown, however a penalty negated the return and Penn State took over on offense at its own 35 with 12:10 remaining in the second quarter. The Nittany Lions moved to midfield on a pass interference penalty on their first play of the drive, but McSorley fumbled when trying to pull the ball back from running back Miles Sanders on the next play, and Winovich recovered it. Michigan took advantage, as Patterson capped a 10-play, 48-yard drive with a 23-yard touchdown pass to Donovan Peoples-Jones. Michigan extended its lead to 21-0 after a 13-play, 90-yard touchdown drive in the third quarter. The drive consumed 7:05 off the clock before Patterson tossed it to Zach Gentry for a 7-yard touchdown reception with 56 seconds remaining in the stanza. Stevens took over for McSorley on the ensuing Penn State possession and immediately picked up a first down with an 18-yard rush. On the next play, he was intercepted by Watson at the Michigan 38, and he returned it 62 yards for a touchdown and a 28-0 Michigan lead. In the fourth quarter, Higdon added a rushing score, and a Long interception off of McSorley setup Evans’ rushing touchdown. Stevens led an 11-play, 75-yard touchdown drive for the final margin, capping it himself with an 8-yard run.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. – A pair of touchdowns by freshman tight end Pat Freiermuth and three takeaways on defense led No. 14 Penn State past Rutgers, 20-7. Quarterback Trace McSorley went 17-of-37 passing for 183 yards with two touchdowns and an interception and rushed for 39 yards on seven carries for Penn State. It was the 30th time in his career he led the Nittany Lions to victory, setting the school record. In addition, he became just third quarterback in Big Ten history to surpass 100 career touchdowns responsible for, joining Drew Brees (Purdue) and J.T. Barrett (Ohio State). Wide receiver KJ Hamler was McSorley’s top target with a careerhigh-tying five catches for 71 yards, while Freiermuth totaled three catches for 47 yards and two touchdowns. Both Freiermuth touchdowns followed Rutgers turnovers. Cornerback John Reid and safety Garrett Taylor each tallied an interception and defensive end Daniel Joseph recovered a fumble that was forced by defensive tackle Robert Windsor. The Nittany Lions totaled 11.0 tackles for loss, led by 2.5 TFL and a sack by defensive end Shareef Miller, and forced three turnovers on downs, including one at the 2-yard line. Penn State held Rutgers to just 234 yards of total offense, including just 46 yards through the air, as a pair of Rutgers quarterbacks were held to just five completions and 46 yards on 16 attempts. The Lions totaled four sacks with Miller, Windsor, linebacker Micah Parsons and defensive tackle Antonio Shelton recording a sack each. Linebackers Jan Johnson and Koa Farmer led the team with eight tackles each. Running back Raheem Blackshear led the Scarlet Knights with 102 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries. They ran the ball 55 times as a team for 188 yards, averaging 3.4 yards per carry. Penn State never trailed, taking a 3-0 lead in the first quarter on a Jake Pinegar 22-yard field goal and a 13-0 lead into halftime following a McSorley to Freiermuth touchdown and a last-second field goal. Early in the fourth quarter, McSorley connected with Freiermuth again, and then Rutgers answered with its lone score of the day, a 2-yard rushing touchdown by Blackshear, for the final margin.

KEYS AND DIFFERENCE MAKERS Trace McSorley (PSU, QB) McSorley surpassed 100 career touchdowns responsible for with his second-quarter touchdown pass, and finished the day at 101, becoming the third quarterback in Big Ten history to do so, and his 30th career win broke a tie with Penn State alums Todd Blackledge (1980-82) and Tony Sacca (1988-91) for the program’s all-time QB wins record. Pat Freiermuth (PSU, TE) Freiermuth enjoyed his first career multi-touchdown game with two of his three receptions for the day coming in the end zone. He has a reception in his last 10 games. His six receiving touchdowns on the season are the most for a Penn State freshman since Deon Butler had nine in 2005. Penn State Pass Defense The Nittany Lions held Rutgers to just 46 yards passing and five completions, while intercepting two passes and registering four sacks. Penn State has held three teams to less than 60 yards passing this season (Pitt, Wisconsin, Rutgers), a feat which had not been accomplished since 1996. Reid’s interception was his second of the season and fifth of his career, while Taylor’s was his third of the season and his career. Blake Gillikin (PSU, P) Penn State won the field position battle decisively, averaging drive starts at its own 40 while Rutgers started on average at its own 21. The advantage was thanks in part to Blake Gillikin, who boomed punts of 70 and 67 yards, for the second- and fourth-longest punts of his career, respectively, and averaged 48.7 yards per punt on six kicks. Gillikin is the fourth player in Penn State history with two 70-plus yard punts in his career.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – A stifling defensive effort and balanced offensive attack helped No. 12 Penn State close the regular season on a winning note, as the Nittany Lions defeated Maryland, 38-3, on Senior Day. The 21 members of the Penn State senior class wrapped up their careers with a 25-3 record at Beaver Stadium in the last four years. Senior quarterback Trace McSorley, Penn State’s all-time winningest quarterback, had a fitting conclusion to his time in front of the home crowd, with 230 passing yards, 64 rushing yards and three touchdowns responsible for. He broke Penn State’s career completion mark, finishing the day with 703 (693; Christian Hackenberg, 201315), and his final pass before giving way to Tommy Stevens was a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to freshman tight end Pat Freiermuth. The Nittany Lions racked up 565 total yards and held Maryland to 259, including a 310-74 edge in rushing yards. Running back Miles Sanders led Penn State’s effort on the ground with 128 rushing yards and an average of 9.1 yards per carry, while freshman understudy Ricky Slade had two rushing touchdowns. Penn State also dominated in tackles for loss, only surrendering two negative plays on offense while dropping the Terrapins behind the line 15 times – its most in a Big Ten game since 2007 against Michigan (15 TFL). Defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos had 3.5 negative stops to lead 11 Nittany Lions with at least an assisted TFL, while defensive tackle Kevin Givens had 2.0 sacks out of the Lions’ five for the game. It was the third game in a row in which Penn State’s defense held its opponent to less than 300 yards of total offense. Linebacker Cam Brown and safety Garrett Taylor led in tackles with five apiece. Penn State led from the game’s opening drive until the end. Both of McSorley’s rushing touchdowns and the Terrapins lone score were in the first quarter, and a field goal by Jake Pinegar late in the second quarter gave the Lions a 17-3 lead at halftime. Slade’s two touchdowns and McSorley’s touchdown pass in the second half put the game out of reach. KEYS AND DIFFERENCE MAKERS Trace McSorley (PSU, QB) In just over three quarters of action, McSorley rushed 11 times for 64 yards and two touchdowns and completed 12-of-22 passes for 230 yards and a touchdown, setting the school’s career completions record (703) in the process. For the fifth time in his career, McSorley rushed for multiple touchdowns, and it was his 21st career game with both a rushing and passing touchdown.

180

Tackles for Loss Penn State totaled 15 tackles for loss, which was its most since posting 16 against Kent State earlier this season. It was the Nittany Lions’ fifth game with 15 or tackles for loss since 2000 and the first time they accomplished feat twice in the same season since 2000. Gross-Matos’ team-best 3.5 TFLs were just 0.5 shy of his career high set against Iowa earlier this season, and his 20 TFLs this season are the most by a Penn State player since Aaron Maybin had 20 in 2008. Step-by-Step The Nittany Lions opened the game with consecutive 30-yard plays, as McSorley hit Hamler over the middle for a 34-yard reception and Sanders weaved his way through the Terrapin defense for a 35yard carry, moving the Lions to the Maryland 5-yard line. Sanders rushed for 2 yards on the next play and then McSorley scampered around the left end from 3 yards out for the touchdown. Penn State answered a 26-yard field goal by Joseph Petrino with another touchdown, as McSorley found open field up the middle for a 20-yard touchdown run to cap an eight-play, 75-yard drive. Pinegar converted a 25-yard field goal to give Penn State a twotouchdown lead before halftime. Penn State forced a three-and-out to open the third quarter before going on a nine-play, 86-yard touchdown drive. A 22-yard completion to Jahan Dotson started it, Sanders and Slade combined for six-straight rushes for 50 yards, and a targeting penalty moved the Lions to the 8. Slade rushed across the goal line the very next play. Maryland missed a 31-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter and Penn State answered with a six-play, 80-yard touchdown drive. After a 2-yard rush by McSorley to start it, he connected with Freiermuth for 22 yards and Juwan Johnson for 38 yards on consecutive plays to reach the Maryland 18. He then threw to Johnson for 8 more yards before connecting with Freiermuth in the end zone for a touchdown and 31-3 lead. Slade scored on a 1-yard run with 6:13 remaining for the final margin.

2018 SEASON IN REVIEW

GAME RECAP ORLANDO, Fla. – Quarterback Trace McSorley led a fourthquarter comeback attempt in his final game as a Nittany Lion, but it was not enough as No. 14 Kentucky held off No. 12 Penn State, 27-24, in the VRBO Citrus Bowl on New Year’s Day in Camping World Stadium. Penn State trailed by 20 points entering the fourth quarter, but McSorley rushed for one touchdown, threw for another and led a field goal drive. However, Kentucky took possession of the ball with 4 minutes and 12 seconds remaining and left Penn State with just 1 second on offense.

OTHER Time of Game Kentucky Penn State

KEYS AND DIFFERENCE MAKERS Trace McSorley (PSU, QB) McSorley totaled 321 yards of total offense, throwing for 246 yards and two touchdowns on 17-of-33 passing and rushing for one touchdown and 75 yards on 19 carries. He was most successful in the fourth quarter, completing 8-of-12 passes for 131 yards and a touchdown.

McSorley’s rushing effort secured him his 11th Penn State career record, as he became the school leader for career rushing yards by a quarterback with a total of 1,697, passing Michael Robinson’s 1,637 yards (2002-05). He came up just 8 yards short of Robinson’s singleseason quarterback rushing record (806; 2005) with 798 yards for the year. McSorley’s 2,530 passing yards for the season rank 10th in Penn State history and his 9,899 career passing yards rank sixth in Big Ten history. The senior quarterback became the first Penn Stater to attempt a pass in four bowl games, and his 246 yards passing in the game rank as the sixth-most in school history. Special Teams Kentucky returned a punt for a touchdown and another return set up a field goal to swing the game in its favor, overcoming a 410297 deficit in total offense. It was PSU’s first allowed punt return touchdown since Northwestern’s Venric Mark in 2012. Penn State Tight Ends Both of McSorley’s touchdown passes were to tight ends, as Bowers caught Penn State’s second-quarter score and Pat Freiermuth scored in the fourth. Bowers finished with three catches for 32 yards, while Freiermuth had two catches for 38 yards. Ground Game Kentucky totaled 176 rushing yards as a team, led by 144 from Snell, while Penn State totaled 164 rushing yards, led by McSorley’s 75 and running back Miles Sanders’ 51. Ricky Slade added 27 yards on four carries. Defense Both teams had strong defensive performances. Parsons’ gameand career-high 14 tackles paced a Nittany Lion unit that allowed just 297 yards of total offense. Givens had two of Penn State’s four sacks, with Tariq Castro-Fields (1.0), Shareef Miller (0.5) and C.J. Thorpe (0.5) also contributing. Allen, the SEC Defensive Player of the Year, had three of Kentucky’s six sacks, while Lonnie Johnson intercepted McSorley in the third quarter. Both teams were stingy on third down as well, as Kentucky converted just 3-of-14 third downs while Penn State went 4-for-14.

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.

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.

Guard Inducted: 2001

A second-round draft choice in 1971, Jack Ham played on four Super Bowl title teams and was voted to the All-Pro team nine consecutive seasons in his career in which he made 32 pass interceptions. A unanimous choice for the NFL Team of the Decade for the 1970s, Ham was the 1975 National Football League Defensive Player of the Year.

August “Mike” Michalske, who was born in Cleveland, Ohio, joined the New York Yankees of the American Football League after a distinguished career with the Nittany Lions. When the Yankees switched to the National Football League in 1927, he played two more seasons in New York before being traded to the Green Bay Packers, where he was a member of three NFL championship teams (1929-31). Although only 6-0 and 206 pounds, Michalske was an outstanding lead guard on running plays and a feared defender, whose blitzing technique was ahead of its time. A member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s All-Pro team of the 1920s, Michalske died on Oct. 26, 1983.

Penn State, 1979-81 Houston Oilers, 1982-93 A standout guard for 12 years with the National Football League’s Houston Oilers, Mike Munchak was a nine-time Pro Bowl choice in his career (1982-93).

In his third year in the NFL (1984), he was named to the first of his seven American Football Conference all-star teams and was selected All-Pro for the first time. Munchak was the centerpiece of an offensive line which helped the Oilers to seven consecutive playoff appearances (1987-93), including AFC Central Division titles in 1991 and ‘93. He retired in 1993 after playing in 159 regularseason games. He joined the Oilers coaching staff in 1994 and was head coach of the Tennessee Titans from 2011-13.

KERRY COLLINS

SHANE CONLAN

Born in Prague, Czechoslovakia on April 1, 1884, Hugo Bezdek was head coach at Penn State for 12 years (1918-29), compiling a 65-30-11 record, including undefeated seasons in 1920 and 1921. A four-year All-American 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, 1913-17) and Arkansas (1908-12). His 1917 Oregon squad defeated Pennsylvania, 14-0, in the Rose Bowl. He later managed the Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball Club (1917-19). 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.

A native of West Lawn, Pennsylvania, Kerry Collins was inducted into the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame on December 4, 2018. He was selected an All-American by the Associated Press, United Press International, The Football News, Football Writers Association of America, Walter Camp and Sporting News in 1994. He also captured two of college football’s major postseason prizes - the Maxwell Award (nation’s outstanding player) and the Davey O’Brien Award (nation’s top quarterback). Collins finished fourth in the Heisman Trophy balloting and garnered Player of the Year honors from ABC-TV/Chevrolet and the Big Ten. Collins posted the fourth-best season passing efficiency mark in NCAA history (172.8). At the end of his career, he had broken Penn State season records for total offense (2,660), completions (176), passing yardage (2,679), completion percentage (66.7), yards per attempt (10.15) and passing efficiency (172.86). He also set the mark with 14 consecutive completions at Minnesota, which was broken by Trace McSorley in 2017. Collins was the linchpin of an explosive offense that shattered 14 school records and led the nation in scoring (47.8 ppg) and total offense (520.2 ypg.). The first-round pick of the Carolina Panthers in the 1995 National Football League Draft and the fifth player selected overall, Collins enjoyed a 17-year career in the NFL. He played for Carolina (199598), the New Orleans Saints (part of the 1998 season), the New York Giants (1999-2003), Oakland Raiders (2004-05), Tennessee Titans (2006-10) and the Indianapolis Colts (2011). He capped the 2000 season by leading the Giants to Super Bowl XXXV.

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. Conlan played nine years in the NFL, attaining three Pro Bowl selections and helping the Bills win three consecutive AFC Championships.

BILL BOWES Bowes was a team captain for Hall of Fame coach Rip Engle during the 1964 season. The 1962 squad finished 9-2 and ranked ninth in the Associated Press (AP) and United Press International (UPI) polls, while the 1963 team was 7-3 en route to a final ranking of 16th in the UPI poll. 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 second-ranked 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. Bowes took the reigns for the Wildcats in 1972, becoming the youngest head coach in program history. He led UNH to four Yankee Conference championships and guided the Wildcats to the NCAA playoffs four times. Bowes was inducted into the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame as a coach on December 6, 2016.

KEITH DORNEY Keith Dorney, a two-time All-American at tackle for the Nittany Lions in 1977 and 1978, was inducted into the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame in December 2005. He is the 16th former Nittany Lion player so honored and the 20th member of the Penn State football family to earn college football’s highest honor. Dorney was selected an All-American by the Football Writers in 1977 and in 1978 by the Associated Press, Football Writers, the American Football Coaches Association, NEA, Sporting News, United Press International and Walter Camp. A native of Allentown, Pennsylvania, he played nine seasons with Detroit (1979-87) of the National Football League. CHARLES "RIP" ENGLE Charles A. “Rip” Engle achieved national prominence as Penn State’s 13th head coach. A native of Salisbury, Pennsylvania, he was a four-sport standout at Western Maryland College, graduating in 1930. Engle began his coaching career at Waynesboro (Pennsylvania) High School, where he compiled an 86-17-5 mark in 11 years, including three unbeaten seasons and eight conference championships. He joined the staff at Brown in 1942 and was promoted to head coach two years later. Engle was named head coach at Penn State in 1950 and guided the Lions to a 104-48-4 record in 16 years, winning three of four bowl games and three Lambert Trophies. In 1970, Engle won the Amos Alonzo Stagg Award for his contributions to football. He was inducted into the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame in 1974. Engle died March 7, 1983, in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. He was born March 26, 1906.

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, Pennsylvania, native put together three straight 200-yard rushing games in the final month of the season, including a high of 220 against NC 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. 12 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). 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. Cappelletti was inducted into the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame on December 7, 1993.

JACK HAM

Halfback John Cappelletti led Penn State to a 12-0 season in 1973 and won the Heisman Trophy, Maxwell and Walter Camp awards as the nation’s outstanding player. Cappelletti ran for 1,522 yards as a senior and is the only Nittany Lion to rush for 200 yards in three consecutive games. An emotional Cappelletti dedicated the Heisman Trophy to his younger brother, Joey, who was battling leukemia, during a moving acceptance speech that has become part of Penn State and college football lore. Cappelletti was inducted into the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame in 1993.

An All-American in 1970, Jack Ham became the 10th Nittany Lion to be enshrined in the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame when he was inducted in 1990. Ham was the first Penn State product in both the college and professional football halls of fame (Dave Robinson). A nine-time All-Pro linebacker for the National Football League's 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 is a Penn State Distinguished Alumni Award recipient.

HISTORY & HONORS

BEAVER STADIUM HOME OF THE NITTANY LIONS Beaver Stadium, the home of the Nittany Lions, is one of the nation’s premier football venues. Installation of seating to meet standards established by the Americans with Disabilities Act before the 2011 season resulted in a reduction of the stadium’s capacity to 106,572. An expansion and renovation prior to the 2001 season added more than 12,000 seats, increasing the stadium’s capacity to 107,282 and easing the waiting list for season ticket requests from Penn State fans. The second-largest stadium in the nation, the renovation and expansion added restrooms and concession facilities, new scoreboards with video screens, and improved handicap access and pedestrian circulation patterns. Among the most visible additions to the venue were 60 skyboxes in a three-level structure erected above the east stands and an 11,500-seat twotier upper deck located in the south end zone. Beaver Stadium has more than doubled in size since it was moved from its former site northeast of Rec Hall on the west side of campus to the east end of the campus in 1960.

Originally built in a horseshoe configuration seating 46,284, the stadium now towers 110 rows on the east side, 100 rows on the west, 60 in the lower end zones, 35 in the north upper deck, 20 in the club level above the south end zone and 25 in the south upper deck. The Nittany Lions dedicated Beaver Stadium with a 20-0 victory over Boston University on Sept. 17, 1960. Penn State halfback Eddie Caye scored the venue’s first touchdown at 10:45 of the first quarter. Additions of more than 2,000 seats in 1969 and more than 9,000 in 1972 raised the seating capacity to 57,538. Expanded bleachers in the south end zone in 1976 increased the seating capacity to 60,203. A uniquely engineered expansion project during the winter, spring and summer of 1978 added more than 16,000 seats, upping the capacity to 76,639. The stadium was cut into sections, raised eight feet by hydraulic jacks and precast concrete seating forms inserted within the inner circle of the stadium, where a running track previously was located.

2019 PENN STATE FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

In 1980, expansion increased the capacity to 83,770. Lights were added in 1984. In 1985, the addition of walkways around the tops of the end zones and entry ramps at the four corners resulted in reducing the capacity to 83,370. The addition of a 10,033-seat upper deck in the north end zone in 1991 and portable seats on the north end zone concourse increased the stadium’s capacity to 93,967. Penn State’s first permanent football venue was Beaver Field, located between the presentday Osmond and Frear laboratories in the center of campus. Before that, games were played on the Old Main lawn. The first game at 500-seat Beaver Field was played on Nov. 6, 1893 against Western University of Pittsburgh (later to become the University of Pittsburgh). The 32-0 Penn State victory was delayed two days because of bad weather and played on a Monday afternoon.

New Beaver Field, located near Rec Hall, was dedicated in 1909 with a 31-0 win over Grove City. Originally constructed of wood, the stadium was converted to steel in 1936. The area also contained facilities for baseball, lacrosse, soccer, and track and field. New Beaver Field was the Nittany Lions’ home through the 1959 season, after which the 30,000-seat facility was dismantled in 700 pieces and moved one mile to the east side of campus. There it was reassembled with 16,000 new seats to form Beaver Stadium. The stadium is named in honor of James A. Beaver. A lawyer in nearby Bellefonte at the outbreak of the Civil War, he enlisted in the Union Army as a second lieutenant and rose to the rank of brigadier general prior to his discharge in 1864. Beaver, who died in 1914, served as a superior court judge, governor of Pennsylvania and president of the University’s Board of Trustees. He is credited with being among the most influential leaders in the development of the University at the turn of the century.

PENN STATE FOOTBALL TIMELINE SIGNIFICANT DATES IN PENN STATE FOOTBALL HISTORY November 24, 1894 — Charlie Atherton kicks one of the first placements from scrimmage in the history of college football; his 25-yard boot in a 9-6 win over Oberlin is ignored by historians. November 29, 1894 — Penn State finishes its first unbeaten season with a 14-0 win over the Pittsburgh Athletic Club and a final 6-0-1 record. Summer 1896 — George Hoskins resigns as “head coach” to become coach at Pitt and Dr. Sam Newton is hired as his replacement. September 1897 — “Henny” Scholl introduces the first helmet during fall practice. It actually is a derby hat with the brim cut off and rags stuffed inside for padding. It gets little usage. The Athletic Association sets a mandatory student fee of $2 to support athletic programs, including football. October 30, 1897 — The “Hidden Ball Trick” is used for the first time in intercollegiate football by Cornell against Penn State in a game at Ithaca. Cornell wins, 45-0. Fall 1898 — The school’s loosely organized drum and bugle corps expands to create a full-sized Cadet Band, which later changes its name to the Blue Band.

2019 PENN STATE FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

BOWL GAME RECAPS 1923 ROSE: January 1, 1923 Penn State fought a gallant fight, but USC was just too strong in a 14-3 victory in the 1923 Rose Bowl. 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 its hotel. The Lions left in several taxi cabs at 11 a.m. for 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 20-yard dropkick 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). USC Penn State

Penn State climaxed a 25-year climb back to national prominence with a 13-13 tie against SMU 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.

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 runner-up, 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 postseason 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.

1967 GATOR: December 30, 1967

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 postseason 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.

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 postseason 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.

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 fourthdown 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-of-53 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.”

“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 sixth-ranked 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 fourthand-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 47-yard 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 oneand-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.

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 29-yard 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 All-American 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.

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 highly-touted 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 1. 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.”

1975 COTTON: January 1, 1975

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 14-0, 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.

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. LSU 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 onehand 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 record-setting 4120 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 secondhalf 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 3-yard run by Cefalo, a 33-yard field goal by Chris Bahr and a 2-yard run by Shuman — gave the Lions an insurmountable 34-14 lead. Shuman earned his second-straight postseason award, grabbing the Outstanding Offensive Player award as he led Penn State with a then-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.

Meeting Notre Dame for the first time since 1928, a 3-0 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 firstquarter 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 eight-yard 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 the Game honors. All-America linebacker Kurt Allerman made a game-high 16 tackles.

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 seven 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.

BOWL HISTORY 1979 SUGAR: January 1, 1979

1979 LIBERTY: December 22, 1979

1980 FIESTA: December 26, 1980

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 48-yard 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 41-yard line, but the Tide defense held again to seal the win.

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 3-0 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 63-yard 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.

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 75yard 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.

1983 ALOHA: December 26, 1983

Penn State rode its rugged defense to a dominating 26-10 victory over USC 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 Trophywinning 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 8237-2 (68.6), including six teams ranked among the nation’s top 20.

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 match-up 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 9-yard line. Curt Warner’s 2-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. 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. “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. Warner gained 117 rushing yards on 18 attempts and two scores, gaining 63 gutsy yards in the second half despite the leg cramps, while Blackledge was 13-of-23 for 228 yards to earn MVP honors.

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 fourthquarter 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 Player of 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, 10-6, 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.

BOWL HISTORY 1986 ORANGE: January 1, 1986

1987 FIESTA: January 2, 1987

1988 CITRUS: January 1, 1988

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 gameclinching 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 mustered just 14 first downs but had 267 yards against a defense which had held opponents to less than 200 yards during the regular season.

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’ 1-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. 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. Penn State answered the only Miami touchdown of the game in the second quarter with a 13-play, 74-yard drive. One of the big plays was a 23-yard pass from John Shaffer to Eric Hamilton on third-and 12. Later in the drive, 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 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 first-down fumbled snap was recovered by Keith Radecic, D.J. Dozier got the most important six yards of his collegiate career when he darted through a gaping hole for the goahead touchdown with 8:13 to play. Manca’s conversion pushed the Penn State margin to 14-10. 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 primetime telecast on NBC, breaking the previous record for a college football telecast.

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.

BOWL HISTORY 1989 HOLIDAY: December 29, 1989

1990 BLOCKBUSTER: December 28, 1990

1992 FIESTA: January 1, 1992

In a game which featured explosive offense on both sides, two freak defensive plays decided the issue between Penn State and BYU in the 1989 Holiday Bowl. By the time Penn State’s high-octane 50-39 victory over BYU was finished, 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 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. On the ensuing BYU series, 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 broke the then-school bowl rushing record with 186 yards on 35 carries with one touchdown. Thomas also gained 46 additional yards on a pair of pass receptions for 232 all-purpose yards. The 64 second-half points (Penn State, 38 and BYU, 26) remain tied for the then-NCAA bowl record.

The inaugural Blockbuster Bowl wasn’t being played on New Year’s Day, but was one of the most intriguing postseason 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 56-yard 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.

Penn State turned up the heat in a furious eight-minute span in the second half 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 2-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. 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. 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.

BOWL HISTORY 1993 BLOCKBUSTER: January 1, 1993

1994 CITRUS: January 1, 1994

1995 ROSE: January 2, 1995

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 postseason 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. All-American 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 secondlowest point total in a bowl game.

A Citrus Bowl record crowd of 72,456 was treated to the Nittany Lions’ strongest effort of the season, a 31-13 knockout of sixthranked 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 Ki-Jana 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 16-yard 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 allpurpose 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 and two scores, outplaying Shuler, the Heisman Trophy runner-up, who was sacked four times in the second half.

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 to earn a 12-0 record and the first Conference team to earn an unblemished record since Ohio State in 1968. In a microcosm of a brilliant season, Heisman Trophy runner-up 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. 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 postseason 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-of61 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.

BOWL HISTORY 1996 OUTBACK: January 1, 1996

1998 FLORIDA CITRUS: January 1, 1998

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. 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 careerbest 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 AllAmerican 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.

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 did 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, outscoring Texas, 31-3, in the second half. The Lions outgained 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.

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 52-yard punt return to the Florida six with 1:14 left in the half. Again, the Lions were faced with fourthand-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.

BOWL HISTORY 1999 OUTBACK: January 1, 1999

1999 ALAMO: December 28, 1999

2003 CAPITAL ONE: January 1, 2003

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 high-flying Kentucky to only two scores in a 26-14 Outback Bowl win 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 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 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.

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. 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 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 postseason record to 20-9-1. On A&M’s first scrimmage play, All-American LaVar Arrington set the tone, as he chased quarterback 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, Rashard Casey made his first career start at quarterback. He fired a 45-yard TD strike to Eddie Drummond for a 14-0 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.

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-andgoal at the four, but were forced to settle for a 21-yard field goal by Robbie Gould. 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 fourth period, 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 was left to play. 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 17-yard touchdown burst with 2:19 to play for a 13-9 lead. Campbell’s twopoint pass was incomplete. Zack Mills returned to the contest, but on third down, was intercepted by Roderick Hood and Auburn held on. Adams recorded nine tackles (eight solo), including a sack, and the forced fumble to earn team Defensive MVP honors. Robinson was the team Offensive MVP.

BOWL HISTORY 2006 ORANGE: January 3, 2006

2007 OUTBACK: January 1, 2007

2007 ALAMO: December 29, 2007

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 Orange Bowl. 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 TDs, replacing an injured Tony Hunt. Two of the nation’s premier defenses then kept each side in check until a wild final 4:09 of the second quarter. Florida State tied 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, but the PAT kick was missed. 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 PAT made it 14-13 at the half. The Lion 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. 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 win 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).

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. The Lions held the Vols to a season-low 10 points, 19.3 below their average, and forced three turnovers. 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 TDs. Tennessee also became the eighth opponent held under 100 rushing yards during the season, netting 83. 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 and the second-highest by a Lion in a bowl game (186, Blair Thomas vs. BYU, 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. 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 gamechanging 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 go-ahead 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 22-yard trey by Kelly, making it 2010 with just 3:29 to play. Anthony Morelli was a strong 14-of-25 for 197 yards with no interceptions. 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.

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 Lions overcame their largest deficit of the season and held the Aggies to just three points over the last three quarters in front of an Alamo Bowl record crowd of 66,166 in The Alamodome. Penn State took the lead for good at 24-17 with :19 left in the third quarter on a season-long 38-yard burst by redshirt freshman tailback Evan Royster. 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 made nine tackles to finish the season with 145, passing Shawn Mayer’s 144 for second place on the Lions’ season list. Connor’s 419 career tackles broke the school record. Safeties Mark Rubin and Anthony Scirrotto made eight tackles each and defensive end Maurice Evans had six stops and forced two fumbles. 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 sixth 100-yard game of the season. 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. All-Big Ten punter Boone averaged a school bowl record 51.4 yards on his five punts, with a long of 55 yards.

BOWL HISTORY 2009 ROSE: January 1, 2009

2010 CAPITAL ONE: January 1, 2010

2011 OUTBACK: January 1, 2011

Sixth-ranked Penn State came into its Rose Bowl battle with No. 5 USC 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 gained 410 yards, the most by a USC opponent for the season. 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) in 2008. Daryll Clark broke then-Penn State bowl records with 273 passing yards and 290 yards of total offense. Clark was 21-of-36, with two TDs and two interceptions. Clark also ran for a 9-yard touchdown late in the first quarter to tie the game, 7-7. He accounted for a school season-record 29 TDs, throwing for 19 and rushing for 10. Tailback Stephfon Green saw extensive duty, as Evan Royster left the game late in the first quarter with a knee injury. Green led Penn State 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. Senior Deon Butler had four catches for 97 yards, but had a 45-yard first-quarter catch nullified by a penalty. The Lions held the Trojans to 61 rushing yards, 145 yards below their season average. USC became the eighth team to fail to gain 100 rushing yards against Penn State in 2008. Sophomore linebacker NaVorro Bowman made a school bowlrecord 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). USC quarterback Mark Sanchez was 28-of-35 for 413 yards, with four touchdown passes.

Senior quarterback Daryll Clark, the game MVP, led Penn State on a 65-yard drive in the waning minutes of the game and Collin Wagner connected on a 21-yard field goal with :57 left to play to lift the Nittany Lions to a dramatic 19-17 win over LSU in the 64th Capital One Bowl. Wagner made a career-high four field goals, connecting from 26, 18, 20 and 21 yards. He had never made four field goals during his prep or Penn State career. His four field goals tied Travis Forney’s Penn State bowl record (1999 Outback). Having taken a 16-3 lead into the third quarter, the Nittany Lions saw the Tigers rally to score two touchdowns in a span of 2:24, grabbing a 17-16 lead with 12:49 to play on a one-yard run by Stevan Ridley. Penn State had to punt, but the defense held LSU to one first down and forced a punt, with the Lions taking over at their 31 with 6:54 to play. Penn State converted two third downs on the dramatic 12-play scoring drive. Clark hit Graham Zug for a first down at the LSU 37. On the next play, Zug made a huge 17-yard sideline reception to the 20. On third-and-4 from the Tigers’ 14, Stephfon Green burst through the line for a 6-yard gain. Clark carried to the LSU two to set up Wagner’s game-winner. On the Tigers’ final possession, they faced a third-and-21 from their own 40 with time for one more play. Jordan Jefferson completed a pass to Rueben Randle, who reached the Lions’ 35, but was hit by Eric Latimore and fumbled. Nick Sukay recovered to seal the win. Clark was 18-of-35 for 216 yards, with one TD and no interceptions. Clark became the first Penn Stater to surpass 3,000 passing yards in a season, finishing with 3,003. Andrew Quarless made a career-high and school bowl record eight receptions for 88 yards to break school records for catches by a tight end in a season (41) and career (87). The defense held the Tigers to 243 yards and forced three turnovers. Penn State limited LSU to just nine first downs and 41 rushing yards on 25 attempts, becoming the eighth opponent to rush for less than 100 yards in 2009. All-America linebacker NaVorro Bowman made nine tackles (seven solo), with 1.5 tackles for losses. Josh Hull had six stops and Sean Lee had six hits.

Penn State’s bid for a fourth New Year’s Day bowl victory in the past six years was turned back in the final minute as Florida captured a 37-24 win in the 25th Outback Bowl in Raymond James Stadium. The Nittany Lions took a 24-17 lead late in the third quarter, but the Gators scored the next 13 points for a 30-24 lead midway through the fourth frame. After both teams exchanged punts, Penn State took possession at its own 21-yard line with just 3:04 left to play. Matt McGloin completed an 18-yard pass to Derek Moye and Evan Royster’s 23-yard burst made him the first Nittany Lion with a trio of 1,000-yard rushing seasons. With the ball at the Florida 25, a McGloin pass was picked off by Ahmad Black, who returned it 80 yards for a touchdown to seal the game with 55 seconds to play. Penn State’s career rushing yardage leader, Royster gained 98 yards on 20 carries against the Gators to finish the season with 1,014 yards on 208 carries. On Florida’s first play from scrimmage, cornerback D’Anton Lynn grabbed his third interception of the season at the Gators’ 39-yard line. McGloin completed passes of 16 yards to Brett Brackett and 15 yards to Graham Zug to give the Nittany Lions a first-and-goal. On third down from the Florida 5, McGloin lofted the ball to Derek Moye, who snared it for his eighth touchdown catch of the season. Collin Wagner’s PAT kick gave Penn State a 7-0 lead with 9:08 left in the first quarter. Moye had game highs with five catches and 79 yards and made his 15th career touchdown catch. Making his fifth career start, McGloin was 17-of-41 for 211 yards, with one touchdown and a school-record five interceptions. The Penn State defense limited Florida to just 279 yards (101 passing) and an average of 3.9 yards per play. Junior defensive tackle Devon Still recorded a career- and seasonhigh 3.5 TFL against the Gators, with a career-best seven stops (six solo) overall. Senior linebacker Chris Colasanti made a game-high 10 hits, compiling his fifth double-figure tackle game of the season.

BOWL HISTORY 2012 TICKETCITY: January 1, 2012

2014 PINSTRIPE: December 27, 2014

2016 TAXSLAYER: January 2, 2016

In the first meeting between Penn State and high-powered Houston since 1977, the No. 20 Cougars beat the No. 24 Nittany Lions, 30-14, in the TicketCity Bowl. Houston entered the game No. 1 in the nation in total offense (599.0 ypg), passing offense (44.3 ypg) and scoring offense (50.8 ppg) and was impressive, gaining 600 yards. The Cougars’ NCAA record-setting quarterback, Case Keenum, broke the Penn State opponent bowl and all-time records for completions (45) and attempts (69) in a game. He threw for 532 yards and three scores. Penn State allowed just 41 points total during the first quarter in the regular season, but Houston grabbed a 17-0 lead after the opening period. The Lions outscored the Cougars, 14-13, over the final three quarters, but were not able to pull within a score. In his final game as a Nittany Lion, Stephfon Green ran for a game-high 63 yards on 15 carries. He scored on a six-yard run midway through the second quarter, his sixth rushing touchdown of the season, to pull Penn State within 17-7. But, the Cougars responded with a 75-yard touchdown pass from Keenum to Patrick Edwards, the longest play from scrimmage allowed by the Penn State defense in the 2011 season and an opponent bowl mark. Edwards’ 228 receiving yards also were a Houston bowl record and an opponent bowl mark. With Houston leading, 27-7, in the third quarter, quarterback Rob Bolden connected with junior wideout Justin Brown on a 69yard scoring strike to pull the Nittany Lions within two scores. The catch was a career-long for Brown and the second-longest completion in Penn State bowl history behind Chuck Herd’s fingertip 72-yard reception from Tom Shuman in the 1974 Orange Bowl. In his final game as a Nittany Lion, senior linebacker Nate Stupar made a game-high 12 tackles (seven solo), the secondhighest total of his career. Linebacker Gerald Hodges recorded nine tackles and safety Drew Astorino had eight stops. Senior All-America tackle Devon Still was limited by turf toe suffered in practice days before the game.

Sam Ficken hit a pair of pressure filled kicks to send Penn State to a 31-30 overtime win over Boston College in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl. Ficken, who used Derek Jeter’s old locker, converted a 45-yard field goal with just 20 seconds left in regulation to tie the game, 24-24, and was true on the game-winning extra point to lift Penn State to the win. Christian Hackenberg earned MVP honors after he produced one of the finest passing games in Penn State bowl history. He set or tied nine Penn State bowl game records, including completions (34), attempts (50), passing yards (371), total offense (371) and offensive plays (58). The Nittany Lions scored first on Hackenberg’s 72-yard TD pass to Chris Godwin down the right sideline with 5:22 left in the first. The play is tied for the longest pass in Penn State’s illustrious bowl history. Murphy found Shakim Phillips in the corner end zone for a 19-yard touchdown and a 14-7 lead early in the third. He then showed he could also score using his feet with a 40-yard dash that put the Eagles ahead 21-7. That is when Hackenberg went to work on the Eagles defense. He led Penn State on a six-play, 63-yard scoring drive that ended with a Geno Lewis 7-yard touchdown grab with no time left in the third quarter to pull Penn State within seven points, 21-14. Hackenberg threw his third touchdown pass of the game, a toss over the middle to Hamilton that threaded the needle to tie the game with 6:48 left in the fourth quarter. Mike Knoll put the Eagles back in the led, 24-21, on a 20-yarder with 2:10 left in the fourth, which set up Ficken’s game-tying kick with 0:20 remaining. Murphy hit David Dudeck for a 21-yard TD pass on Boston College’s overtime drive, but Knoll missed the extra point for the Eagles and that was the opening Penn State needed to complete its comeback. In overtime, Hackenberg arched a perfect ball into the hands of Carter for a 10-yard touchdown. Carter’s first TD grab of the season set up Ficken’s automatic kick that sent the Nittany Lions dancing on top of the Yankees’ dugout.

Facing a 21-point deficit in the third quarter, Penn State rallied to within a touchdown of Georgia, but the Nittany Lions ran out of time as the Bulldogs held on, 24-17, to win the 71st annual TaxSlayer Bowl. Leading 24-17, Georgia tried to ice the game with less than two minutes remaining by going for it on fourth-and-2 from the Penn State 23. Jason Cabinda and Garrett Sickels stuffed Georgia’s Keith Marshall for a 2-yard loss, giving the Nittany Lions a chance to tie the game with a touchdown and extra point with 1:52 remaining. Redshirt freshman quarterback Trace McSorley, who entered the game midway through the second quarter after quarterback Christian Hackenberg left with an injury, led the Nittany Lions to the Georgia 39 with eight seconds remaining, but his Hail Mary pass attempt was batted down near the goal line. McSorely finished completing 14-of-27 pass attempts for 142 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing seven times for 31 yards. Godwin caught six passes for 133 yards, finishing the season with 1,101 receiving yards. Georgia took a 24-3 lead on a Sony Michel touchdown run with 4:15 remaining in the third quarter, but the Lions started their rally on the next drive, scoring their first touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter on fourth down, capping a 10-play, 75-yard touchdown drive. A 21-yard completion to Godwin on third-and-6 moved the Lions to midfield and a 29-yard rush by Saquon Barkley to the Georgia 15 setup the drive. Facing fourth-and-12, McSorley found Geno Lewis just inside the right sideline in the end zone following the final quarter break. Both teams would punt and Penn State forced another Bulldog punt before finding the end zone again. A 20-yard run by Barkley started the seven-play drive, and a leaping catch by DaeSean Hamilton for a 20yard touchdown capped it with 6:14 remaining. Georgia was able to run 4:15 off the clock on its ensuing possession, and withstood Penn State’s final rally.

BOWL HISTORY 2017 ROSE: January 2, 2017

2017 FIESTA: December 30, 2017

2019 CITRUS: January 1, 2019

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.

Quarterback Trace McSorley eclipsed 400 yards of total offense and became Penn State's all-time bowl game passing leader to lead the No. 9 Nittany Lions past No. 11 Washington, 35-28, in the 2017 PlayStation Fiesta Bowl. Penn State improved to 7-0 all-time in the Fiesta Bowl. McSorley led a Penn State offense that totaled a program bowlrecord 545 yards of offense, as he completed 32-of-42 passes for 342 yards and two touchdowns, while rushing 12 times for 60 yards. McSorley was particularly strong on third downs, completing 12-of-12 passing attempts for 194 yards and two touchdowns, resulting in 11 of Penn State's 13 third down conversions - its most since 2008. McSorley completed passes to nine different receivers, with DaeSean Hamilton catching five passes for 110 yards and two touchdowns to lead the group. McSorley was named the game's offensive MVP, while safety Marcus Allen was named the defensive MVP. Allen had a team-high six solo tackles, and tied for the team lead with seven total tackles. Running back Saquon Barkley also had a record-breaking performance, setting a Fiesta Bowl and Penn State bowl record with a 92-yard touchdown run and also tying Penn State's all-time longest run record. He finished with 137 yards rushing and two touchdowns, while also catching a team-high seven receptions and totaling 38 yards receiving. Penn State led the game from its opening possession until the end, with Washington getting no closer than a touchdown. The Nittany Lions' 35 points scored snapped Washington's 26-game streak of holding opponents to less than 30 points. Washington entered the game with the leading FBS rushing defense at 92.3 yards per game and had allowed just one play of more than 40 yards all season, however Penn State rushed for 203 yards and had two plays go for more than 40 yards.

Quarterback Trace McSorley led a fourth-quarter comeback attempt in his final game as a Nittany Lion, but it was not enough as No. 14 Kentucky held off No. 12 Penn State, 27-24, in the VRBO Citrus Bowl on New Year’s Day in Camping World Stadium. Penn State trailed by 20 points entering the fourth quarter, but McSorley rushed for one touchdown, threw for another and led a field goal drive. However, Kentucky took possession of the ball with 4 minutes and 12 seconds remaining and left Penn State with just 1 second on offense. Running back Benny Snell Jr. rushed for 25 yards and two first downs on eight carries. The first downs were the first of the quarter for the Wildcats, as Penn State had held them to 11 total yards previously in the frame. After stopping Kentucky in the waning seconds, the Nittany Lions could only run one play from their own 17, and a fumble on a lateral was recovered by Kentucky’s Chris Oats to secure the victory. McSorley completed 17-of-33 passes for 246 yards and two touchdowns with one interception and was also the team’s leading rusher with 75 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries. Fellow senior DeAndre Thompkins was the team’s leading receiver with four receptions for 74 yards. Snell led Kentucky with 144 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. Defensively Josh Allen paced Kentucky with three sacks, while Micah Parsons registered a career-high 14 tackles and forced a fumble for Penn State. Additionally, Kevin Givens had two sacks for the Nittany Lions, tying a school bowl record. Kentucky dominated the odd-numbered quarters, while Penn State dominated the even-numbered quarters. The Wildcats jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter on a field goal and a Lynn Bowden Jr. 58yard punt return before Penn State pulled within three in the second quarter on a McSorley pass to tight end Nick Bowers. Kentucky built its largest lead in the third quarter, 27-7, after a pair of Snell rushing touchdowns and another field goal. Penn State cut the deficit to three with 17 points in the fourth.

PENN STATE

PENN STATE UNIVERSITY A Land Grant Institution

Penn State’s historic mission of teaching, research, and public service — launched under the most modest of circumstances more than 150 years ago — now reaches into virtually all parts of Pennsylvania. Consider, for example, that the University now has 24 campuses across the Commonwealth, putting a Penn State education within practical reach of nearly every Pennsylvanian. In fact, more than 70 percent of Penn State’s undergraduates are Pennsylvania residents. Penn State is Pennsylvania’s largest nongovernmental employer and has employees and expenditures in every one of its 67 counties. The University generates a total economic impact across the Commonwealth that surpasses $17 billion annually. Part of that impact is derived from Penn State’s research program, which brought more than $534 million in federal funds to Pennsylvania last year, and an additional $91 million from private industry. In addition, as part of its Invent Penn State initiative, the University has funded 21 innovation hubs, designed to bolster entrepreneurship and economic development in communities surrounding its campuses across Pennsylvania. Penn State’s outreach and online programs — ranging from 4H to Cooperative Extension, from summer camps to public broadcasting — provide educational and service programs to more than a million Pennsylvania households annually. The University’s presence throughout Pennsylvania today contrasts sharply with its humble beginnings. 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), offered to donate 200 acres of farmland for a campus. Founding President Evan Pugh wanted the fledgling institution to embody a new approach to higher education that blended classical studies with subjects that had

practical value. He joined similar visionaries in other states in convincing Congress to pass the Morrill Land-Grant Act in 1862. The act gave individual states tracts of federal land to sell; the proceeds supported colleges that agreed to include engineering, science and the 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. The lawmakers in effect bestowed on the privately incorporated college a public character. In return for state support, the institution assumed obligations of teaching, research and service that are normally associated with publicly owned land-grant universities in other states. 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. It established one of the nation’s first collegiate agricultural experiment stations, and Professor 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 land-grant schools in the Northeast to admit women, graduated its first international student in 1890, and its first African-American student in 1905. In the early 1900s, President Edwin E. Sparks supported a number of efforts to “carry the college to the people,” as he liked to say. Technical institutes were established in various locations statewide for engineering education, beginning with an evening school in Allentown in 1910. In 1912, Penn State helped create a system of county agents in agriculture and home economics. Today, the Penn State World Campus, with its “anywhere, anytime” learning through the Internet, builds on that outreach tradition. But undergraduate education remained foremost. Enrollment surpassed 5,000 students by 1936, including those attending several undergraduate centers that were 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 statewide system of campuses. Thanks to this innovative approach to higher education, Penn State in the 1930s became Pennsylvania’s largest single source of baccalaureate degrees, a distinction it holds to this day. Following World War II, 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 in fields as diverse as dairy science, acoustics, psychology and diesel engineering. The expansion of research went hand in hand with a steady increase in the number of graduate students. The University awarded its first graduate degree — a master’s degree in scientific agriculture — in 1862, and the Graduate School was established in 1922. But overall graduate enrollment remained modest until the 1950s, then swelled steadily. The Graduate School has awarded to date approximately 130,000 master’s, doctoral and other advanced degrees. The University Park campus is Penn State’s administrative and research hub. In addition, there are 19 primarily undergraduate campuses; Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and the College of Medicine; the Pennsylvania College of Technology; Penn State Law: Dickinson Law; the Penn State Great Valley School of Graduate Professional Studies; and the Penn State World Campus. To date, Penn State has awarded more than 840,000 degrees, hallmarks of an educational experience second to none in quality. In addition, Penn State alumni — including 348,000 in Pennsylvania alone — have job- and socialnetworking opportunities that no other college or university in the Commonwealth can surpass.

Eric J. Barron took the helm of Pennsylvania’s flagship public university on May 12, 2014, arriving from Florida State University, where he had been president for four years. No stranger to Happy Valley, he had previously spent 20 years of his career at Penn State, serving on the faculty of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences and as dean of the college. Barron has nearly 40 years of leadership experience in academic administration, education, research and public service, and a track record as a talented manager of fiscal policy within large and complex institutions. In recognition of his expertise and leadership in higher education, he was named chairman of the Commission on Economic and Community Engagement (CECE) for the Association of Public Land-grant Universities (APLU) in fall 2017. He also serves on the Board of Directors for APLU, and Kish Bancorp, Inc.; the Board of Trustees for University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), and Universities Research Association (URA); and he is a member of the Knight Commission and the College Football Playoff Board of Managers. As leader of Penn State, Barron oversees a research enterprise of more than $920 million and 24 campus locations.

His responsibilities include oversight of two law schools, the internationally recognized online educational enterprise known as the Penn State World Campus, and a nearly $2 billion health enterprise, including the Penn State College of Medicine, the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, and the Penn State Health network, which extends throughout Central Pennsylvania. Penn State’s current enrollment is approximately 99,000 students, and the University boasts the world’s largest dues-paying alumni association in the world. During his tenure as president of Penn State, Barron has prioritized access and affordability; diversity and inclusion; student engagement; economic development; job creation and student career success; and technology. He is focused on helping Penn State fulfill its land-grant mission as a modern university, and supports “One Penn State 2025,” an initiative to reimagine student learning and support services across all campuses to boost student success, engagement with the University, and the efficient use of its resources. Under Barron’s leadership, Penn State has achieved recordsetting results in the University’s fundraising campaign, A Greater Penn State for 21st Century Excellence. Penn State has now raised more than $1 billion of the $1.6 billion goal. That puts the University among only 11 institutions in the U.S. to have raised $1 billion or more in three or more campaigns – including Harvard, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, and Big Ten peers Illinois and Michigan. Barron’s Invent Penn State initiative supports investment in entrepreneurship and innovation programs, tools and resources that accelerate the movement of great ideas to the marketplace

and make a substantial economic development impact in Pennsylvania and beyond. Since its inception in 2015, Invent Penn State has partnered with the University’s campuses across the Commonwealth to open 21 innovation hubs available to the surrounding communities. These hubs have aided nearly 2,000 entrepreneurs; engaged more than 5,000 faculty, staff and students with 170 new product development projects; created more than 45 new companies in Pennsylvania with more than 424 new jobs and internships; generated nearly $800,000 in inkind support; and brought in more than $4.5 million in external matched/leveraged funds. Barron earned a bachelor of science degree in geology at Florida State in 1973 before moving on to the University of Miami, where he earned master's and doctoral degrees in oceanography. At Penn State, Dr. Barron served as dean of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences from 2002-06, and as founding director of the Earth System Science Center, one of the first major initiatives focused on the total study of Earth as a system. He also had a simultaneous appointment as director of the Earth and Mineral Sciences Environment Institute. In 1999, he was named Distinguished Professor of Geosciences at Penn State. An accomplished scientist with a long background in atmospheric research, Barron served as director of the National Center for Atmospheric Research and as dean of the Jackson School of Geosciences at the University of Texas at Austin. Early in his career he was a postdoctoral research fellow and scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo.

PENN STATE

VP OF INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETIC SANDY BARBOUR Recognized as one of the nation’s premier Athletic Directors, Sandy Barbour enters her sixth year as the dynamic leader of the Penn State Intercollegiate Athletic program. With student success and comprehensive excellence as a steadfast focus, Barbour has helped the Nittany Lions continue to ascend and thrive as one of the nation’s most successful athletic departments. Barbour began her passionate and effective leadership of the Penn State Athletics program in August 2014. President Eric J. Barron named Barbour the Nittany Lions’ ninth Director of Athletics after serving 10 years as Director of Athletics at the University of California. In February 2019, Barbour received a contract extension through August 31, 2023 and assumed the title of Penn State Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics. “Sandy has consistently promoted excellence in intercollegiate athletics — in academics and athletic competitions, and she is widely hailed among the best athletic directors in the nation,” Barron said at the time of her contract extension. “She is a powerful advocate for those who wear the blue and white, and her leadership has help advance our shared vision of what intercollegiate athletics can be. I’m proud of our student-athletes, the coaches and staff, and I’m very pleased that Sandy will be able to lead them to even greater success.” Leader of Premier Athletic Department in Academic, Athletic and Community Engagement One of the nation's most highly-respected Athletic Directors, Barbour has more than 35 years of varied experiences as a collegiate administrator and coach, with a demonstrated record of championships, academic success, innovation, facility modernization and revenue growth. Barbour directs one of the nation’s most comprehensive and successful athletic programs that boasts an NCAA Graduation Success Rate of 90 percent, while capturing 79 national championships and 113 Big Ten titles all-time. She oversees a broad-based program that supports approximately 800 students in 31 sports (16 men’s/15 women’s) and an Intercollegiate Athletics staff of more than 300 whose daily mission is preparing students for a lifetime of impact. Penn State’s 31 programs are tied for fourth-largest among all 130 FBS institutions. During Barbour’s initial five years of leadership in Happy Valley, Penn State student-athletes have consistently raised the bar and broken or tied school academic records, including the number of Academic All-Big Ten and Big Ten Distinguished Scholar recipients in 2018-19. A school record total 167 Nittany Lion students graduated during the 2018 fall and 2019 spring semesters, with additional graduates set for August. The total includes a record 133 graduates in May 2019. A combined total of 765 student-athletes have earned their degrees during Barbour’s tenure. The 2018-19 athletic year saw the Nittany Lions capture one NCAA Championship and six Big Ten titles, boosting Penn State to six NCAA Championships and 29 conference crowns under Barbour’s direction. Nittany Lions Students are the "Why" for Penn State Athletics It didn’t take long for Barbour to begin implementing her vision for Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics and creating conditions for success for the department’s “Why” – the more than 800 Nittany Lion student-athletes. Six months after arriving at Penn State, Barbour announced a reorganization of ICA that introduced a more vertical structure to encourage communication and collaboration across functional units and sports. Four administrative divisions were formed: student-athlete performance, health and welfare; internal and external relations and operations, administration and business and finance. Midway through 2015, Penn State Athletics launched a wide-ranging strategic planning process and conducted a series of town hall meetings. Students, faculty and staff, alumni, donors and the public were presented with the initial findings of the project and presented an opportunity to provide feedback. The project helped determine strategies and priorities for the formalized 2017-21 strategic plan. Barbour also is overseeing a comprehensive facilities master plan that was announced in March 2017. Penn State partnered with Populous, one of the world's leading architecture and sport event planning firms, to collaborate on programming, developing and producing a comprehensive facilities master plan to provide a 20-year road map for addressing current and long-term needs for all of the Nittany Lions' facilities (competition, practice, performance enhancement and training). Less than two months after the facilities master plan was unveiled in 2017, Penn State announced a $3.55 million gift from men’s lacrosse letterman and graduate Ken Panzer and his business partner, Jordan Kaplan, to launch construction on a new lacrosse facility. The project transformed the Penn State Lacrosse Field to become one of the top lacrosse venues in the nation, with Panzer Stadium opening to rave reviews for the 2019 men’s and women’s lacrosse season. Since the first Lasch Football Building renovation project was announced in January 2015, Barbour has helped raise more than $28 million for the Football Excellence Fund to finance several phased upgrades of the football facilities.

Academic Excellence Among Record-Setting Achievements; 90 Percent NCAA Graduation Rate Penn State student-athletes have consistently delivered academic excellence and record performances during Barbour's tenure. In November 2018, the NCAA released its annual national graduation rates study, which disclosed that Penn State student-athletes earned a school record-tying Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 90 percent for the second consecutive year. Eight Nittany Lion teams earned a perfect 100 percent Graduation Success Rate. During the 2018 fall semester, Nittany Lion students posted a school recordtying 3.15 grade-point average, previously set during the 2018 spring semester, and a record-tying 26 teams earned at least a 3.0 GPA. Also, during the 2018 fall semester, 518 student-athletes posted at least at 3.0 GPA, the second-highest total in school history (520, fall 2017). A total of 239 Nittany Lion students garnered Dean’s List honors for earning at least a 3.5 GPA (minimum 12 credits), which ranked as the third-highest total. Starting with the 2014 fall semester, Barbour’s first as Penn State AD, Penn State student-athletes have achieved the nine highest semesters all-time for the number of students earning at least a 3.0 GPA. Record 368 Academic All-Big Ten Honorees in 2018-19 For the third time in the past four years, Penn State student-athletes broke their yearly record for Academic All-Big Ten honorees, as 368 Nittany Lions posted a 3.0 GPA higher in 2018-19. Students from the spring/at-large sports broke their Academic All-Big Ten total for the fourth consecutive year, with 183 honorees this past year and winter sport team members broke their mark with 91 recipients. More Than 750 Graduates Since December 2014 A total of 765 Penn State student-athletes earned have earned their degrees since December, 2014, with yearly records broken or tied in three of the past four years. A total of 18 Nittany Lions have earned CoSIDA Academic All-America accolades during Barbour’s tenure, boosting Penn State’s all-time total to 204, good for No. 4 nationally among Division I institutions.

2019 PENN STATE FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

Happy Valley Jam and NHL Pre-season Games Among Initiatives Barbour has overseen the additional utilization of ICA’s physical assets, resulting in the first NHL pre-season games in Pegula Ice Arena and the initial concert in Beaver Stadium – the Happy Valley Jam, featuring Blake Shelton, in July 2017. A third NHL pre-season contest, featuring the Buffalo Sabres and the Pittsburgh Penguins, is set for September 2019 in Pegula Ice Arena. Recognized by Forbes Among Top Executives in Sports Forbes has recognized Barbour twice in recent years among the top executives in sports. In 2018, Barbour was selected No. 13 among the Most Powerful Women in Sports. She was among four executives listed who work primarily in intercollegiate athletics and was the highest ranked Athletic Director -- No. 2 overall in college sports. In 2015, Forbes named Barbour one of the Top 25 Most Powerful People in College Sports, ranking among six Athletic Directors and two female administrators on the list. Forbes said that Barbour "has developed a reputation for being one of the most forward-thinking administrators in all of college sports." Ten Years Leading Cal Athletics to Consistent Comprehensive Excellence Serving as the Director of Athletics at Cal from 2004-14, Barbour guided the Golden Bears through one of the most successful periods in school history. Under her direction, the athletic department became one of the consistently elite programs in the country. Barbour’s 10-year term as AD was the longest tenure for the department since men’s and women’s athletics merged into a single entity in 1992. During her tenure overseeing Cal’s 30-sport program, the Golden Bears won 20 team national championships, 97 individual national titles, finished in the top 10 in the annual Learfield Directors’ Cup standings six times, including a program-best third in 2011, and reached record levels in ticket sales, sponsorships and fundraising. Among Cal's many team athletic accomplishments under Barbour’s leadership were a 2006 Pac-12 co-championship and seven bowl game invitations in football; the men's basketball team's first conference title in 50 years in 2009-10; a first-ever NCAA Final Four berth in women's basketball in 2013, two trips to the national semifinals in women’s volleyball and six NCAA Championships in men’s and women’s swimming and diving. In 2013-14, Cal secured the largest field naming-rights deal in collegiate sports history at the time, when Kabam, a technology company, signed on to name Kabam Field at California Memorial Stadium. Named one of the "100 Most Influential Women in Business" in the Bay Area according to the San Francisco Business Times, NACDA named Barbour a regional Athletic Director of the Year for 2008-09 and she was a finalist for National AD of the Year at the Sports Business Awards. She also was recognized as the 2006 National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators (NACWAA) Division I-A National Administrator of the Year. Prior to her tenure at Berkeley, Barbour was the deputy director of athletics at Notre Dame, serving as the university's senior athletic administrator from July 2002 to September 2004. She previously held an associate athletic director position there starting in 2000. In her position at Notre Dame, Barbour oversaw facilities and event operations for the school's 26-sport program, including football game management and the department's two golf courses. She was also responsible for developing, maintaining and implementing Notre Dame's $127 million athletics facilities master plan. In 1996, Barbour was appointed Tulane's director of athletics at age 36, and during her three years overseeing the program, Green Wave teams won 12 conference championships. In her first year in the position, the school captured four conference titles, a feat never before accomplished in Tulane history. She also hired Tommy Bowden as head football coach during her first year. Bowden proceeded in 1997 to post the Green Wave's first winning season (7-4) in 16 years, and then directed the school to a 12-0 record, a Conference USA championship and a No. 7 national ranking the following season as the 1998 Liberty Bowl champions. Barbour was recruited to Tulane as an associate athletic director in 1991. Born in Annapolis, Md., Barbour grew up in a military family. Her father was a career aviator in the U.S. Navy, and her family lived in various U.S. locations as well as in Western Europe during her childhood. Barbour graduated cum laude in 1981 with a B.S. degree in physical education from Wake Forest University, where she was a four-year letterwinner and served as captain of the field hockey team. She also played two seasons of women's basketball for the Demon Deacons. Barbour earned advanced degrees at the University of Massachusetts (an M.S. in sports management in 1983) and Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management (an MBA in 1991). Barbour's career in intercollegiate athletics began as a field hockey assistant coach and lacrosse administrative assistant at Massachusetts in 1981. Between master's programs, Barbour served as assistant field hockey and lacrosse coach at Northwestern from 1982-84. She also held the position of director of recruiting services during that period, before being promoted to assistant athletic director for intercollegiate programs in 1984, a position she held until 1989. Prior to joining Tulane, Barbour worked in programming and production for FOX Sports Net in Chicago during the summer of 1990.
