Yep - was there in the rain - especially on the last drive.
I was there as well…what a gutsy comeback…Illinois had a superb defense.
Can anyone imagine Penn State doing that today? On the road? Yeah, me neither…☹️
Watched that game from my dorm and went to Rec Hall to welcome the team home. Will never forget.
Yeah, to find a late game drive for a last minute TD to pull out a win on the road, we have to go all the way back to...... September 1, 2022 vs Purdue.
By the way, final score in both games was
PSU 35
Opponent 31

Beating a BIG team that went 7-5? I don't know. Maybe Purdue two months ago?

Hey now, this doesn't fit with the 'PSU Crying Game Leagues' posturing.
Well, since you guys brought it up. This drive led by Sean Clifford was clutch. I will remember it just like the '94 Illinois one from the undaunted Kerry Collins and company...(life is made up of moments)
Yeah, that is a legit comparable 😆. That PSU team also went on the road and beat Michigan. And put 63 on the board at home pulverizing O$U… but keep your head in the sand on the mediocrity of the present.
Well, actually there were a lot of similarities. But keep up the gloomy outlook.
Gloomy? We are 9 years in…how about realistic. You can search over those 9 years for total road wins that would match a single year with some of Paterno’s great teams….that is how far we have fallen.
Hopefully, this will change…but Charlie Brown though he would kick the football at some point. How long is long enough to wait? Another decade?
so as demonstrated by others on this thread, yes, yes I can
Iowa had a great defense the year the Trace and Juwan Johnson shut their crowd up with a gutsy comeback
lol. “With some of Paterno’s great teams”. You’re right; the very best teams that the winningest coach of all time had over the course of 45 years as a head coach have not yet been beat by Franklin’s 7 years of coaching with full scholarships after taking over a program that was as close as it gets to being shut down. You win!
Soooo wrong when Juwan shushed the crowd, but it was "I-owe-ya" after all (😉).

What Franklin did here in the Iowa clip above, he was flagged for unsportsmanlike against Maryland last week resulting in his "15-yards accountability pushups". Maybe the rules have been tightened up since. Or, I'll file it in "whatever".
