Piggybacking off of @Midnighter's excellent Pearl Jam post from Monday, happy 27th birthday to the 1991 Kickoff Classic win over Georgia Tech (and, of course, the ensuing riot).

Here's the game in its "10 minutes or less" version for your enjoyment:

Thanks for posting. That was a great team. The hiccup at USC really hurt.

Tony Sacca had an interesting throwing motion. Like in between over the top and sidearm. Don't remember that.

229 wins for Joe at that point. Announcers said he wanted to coach 4 more years until he reached 70.

Is it just me, or did our linebackers appear to be HUGE?

I think it was the shoulder pads. They made everyone look huge!

Around 6:40--Paterno said he wants to coach four more years until he's 70....and that was said for the next decade and a half lol

McDuffie was special.

Everybody except Terry Smith.

That is my belief, shoulder pads were had a wider span than today and the horse collar added to the effect.

If Duffy Cobbs married O J McDuffie, he'd be Duffy McDuffie.

I will never forget running into OJ McDuffie. At the mall and got his autograph. And he had a shirt on that said “No Sweeter Juice in Miami Than OJ. My favorite player hands down of all time. Thanks Zenophile that replay of his catch In the end zone. Never gets old.
