I remember a close game in which we had to come back from a 21-12 second half deficit. SMU had a pretty decent QB in Mike Ford.
Roll Call: Who was there the only other time SMU played at PSU in 1978?
- Thread starter Thus Spoke Mainer
- Start date
I was there. My (first
) senior year at PSU. Don't remember it much. A lot of beverages involved.

Missed it. We had unofficial season tickets but I was out in Indiana for a job interview. Only home game missed that year
I think this was my first in person game at Penn State.
I was there - my Freshman year.
Absolutely demolished TCU the next week. One of the hardest hits on a QB I’ve ever seen. Dude was parallel to the ground about 4 feet in the air. I think it was Millan if I remember correctly.
Was there for all the home games in 78
I was there in the senior student section with a bunch of my senior friends, although I was a junior. I traded my Junior tickets and Ohio State tickets for season Senior tickets. Already was using one of my parents OSU tickets for that game. Had an absolute blast that season going to home games.
I was there. A junior in high school. We had some great teams visit HV. Texas A&M, TCU, Stanford, Utah State, Kentucky in the 70’s. I’m sure I missed a few. A lot better than The Little Sisters of Poor, and whoever wants to be a rent a beating.
It was Bruce Clark I believe. It was a true decleater and a hit I will never forget for the rest of my life.
Always remember that hit . I believe in the end zone of the student section. Fortunately for the QB Bruce actually pulled up.
Exactly as I remember it.
Nope it was Rutgers and it was in the student section end zone. I thought the kid was dead.
Sorry was definitely TCU. If he had one in the Rutgers game have no idea. But definitely was TCU game.
Bruce Clark certainly made a lot of big hits in his career but I believe you are the one who has them reversed. The hit he made in the student section end zone in the 78 season that leveled the quarterback and silenced the crowd was against Rutgers.
Hit resulted in a safety. I believe we had a safety in the TCU game. Scored 26 against Rutgers two touchdownd and four field goals.

I was there. 12 years old in section WF with my Dad. He had season tickets that he got in '76 and kept for years. We won I think 26-21. Just remember it being a pretty close game.
Yep, it was Rutgers. Clark knocked the Rutgers QB out of the back end of the end zone. My first year out of PSU, but attended all the home games..... as well as the Bama game.
I was there. And I played BB with Clark in Rec Hall a few Sunday nights the year before so I had and have a good interest in what BC did at PSU.
Sorry, it was Rutgers.
Check the scores. Against Rutgers we scored 26 4 field goals and 2 touchdowns. Had a safety against TCU which was the Clark hit. Wrestled intramurals with Bruce.
