The year? 1996. It was a soggy, rain drenched New Years as Penn St beat Auburn, 43-14

[Michael.Felli]

The 1996 edition to the Outback Bowl featured the Auburn Tigers, and the Penn State Nittany Lions. Penn State turned a close first half into a blowout, with a big third quarter run, and ended up winning 43-14. Penn State's 43 points remain to this day a record in the Outback Bowl.

What I remember most, besides the rain, of course, was the plethora of Auburn fans bitch ing afterwards that the only reason they lost was b/c their QB couldn't throw in the rain. I had to remind them, it rained when Penn State had the ball, too.

I was there. I remember Curtis Enis scoring a Td late in the game. My daughter and I flew back from Tampa to Dayton a few days later. Curt Enis girlfriend was on our flight. Curt met her at the Dayton airport. I met Curt at baggage claim and talked to him for about 10 minutes. Great guy and loved Joe.

No their biggest gripe was Stephen Davis getting injured early. Apparently he would have gained 300 yards and had 5 TDs

That film was obviously altered. There is no way Penn State could beat an SEC team that badly.

I remember the PSU fans all yelling stuff like "ouch" every time an Auburn player got hit...which was lots of times. By then, all the Auburn fans had been run off. We all got soaked, but it was big fun.
