The game I waited my whole life to be at. What a great experience!

6:23 I love how the official emphatically throws the penalty flag at the OSU player 😂. He might be charged with assault for that now.

Even the Buckeyes had No name on the back of their jerseys in 1978. I’m probably one of the few that wishes Penn St would put them on the back in 2024.

Nobody got robbed of more natty’s than Penn State

Did Curtis Ennis play for PSU at around this time?

the huge shoulder pads from 35 years ago made the players look like they're 4 feet wide.

Has OSU ever had EIGHT turnovers in one game, before or since?

Temple last td scored with fan and security guard in the end zone while play is going on. Wayne Hardin was good coach at both Navy and Temple

Am I the only who continuously returns to this video to see if anyone knows what the opening song is? Haha

The new regime only wants to forget him...Paterno Field/Statue should both be implemented in honor of the man who was PSU...but these dipshits in charge wont do it.

All you have to know is every writer in Ohio and Michigan who voted in the AP poll voted for Nebraska. The idea that Penn State could come into the Big 10 and in their 2nd year as a conference member run the table was too much for them to handle. SMH.

The Boilers went to bed hearing Fight On State in their heads every night that week! What a game. Brees was such a baller but the PSU defense was on it on this game. I remember watching this as a kid. Thank you for sharing games like this.

Man it was fun! Excellent PSU Team!

Tamba Hali was a fuckin MONSTER hahah

Blasphemous that this team didn't even get a share of the national title. 12-0 in a power 5 conference.

I love how you drop the ball in 1994 it's an immediate fumble. No reviews on little boys in the locker room though. "We are Penn State." lol

I loved this game and it is a shame they don't play anymore.

Whatever happened to Wally Richardson?

UC came back the next year and played them tough. 24-20.

The Houston coach acted like an unsportsmanlike jerk as Joe tried to shake his hand. Poor sport, poor loser.

Ohio State was methodically destroyed. That had to be one of the best Penn State Teams of all-times. They were incredible.

ND got buried in this game coming in after losing the year before in gut wrenching fashion.. thankfully they beat them in 92 to rip their hearts out with that two point conversion..glorious moment

There are high school teams that could beat these sorry ala teams. That Shula curse, he was a sorry qb, and an even sorrier coach. Not one player was drafted into the Nfl in 2006. pitiful.

Woody in recruiting Schlichter promised him he'd start his first game and the first play of the game would be a Schlichter pass and he kept both promises.

Ans now conferences are going to 14 ans eventually more.

This is one of my favorite Penn State football moments, all these years later. This was the beginning of the turnaround and the end of the period of time many of us call the Dark Years (began in 1999 with the Minnesota field goal).

Joe really ran up the score on this day.

I worked security for this game on the field. So many good memories.

I love watching Woody Hayes Lose.

This was during a time in which there were INDEPENDENTS GALORE, and yet college football went about it's " business" just fine. Now...the game has self- deleted much of the rivalries,& traditions that made it special. Yet another unbroken American treasure that society decided to "fix".

I remember this game. I was a PSU Senior, had to work that day so ended up watching the game in a bar downtown State College. They literally scored AT WILL. I couldn't keep up!

That intro never gets old as a Penn State fan. Even though I was -8 years old when that came out, I still hum that before games during warm-ups. Our fans are the best in College Football, and we have fun every gameday. #WEARE

If Bama WR had not bobbled the ball there would have been no question. Oh well, so close but no cigar.

That was a great night! Only the next week we lost to Michigan on the last second play.

How did WVU go from the 88 team to whatever the hell I just saw. That WVU RB for WVU murrell started for the AZ cardinals for several seasons! You’d NEVER see such a gaping difference in talent like that in college football today. Overwhelmed and smothered at every second of play. I’m utterly embarrassed for this 💔 of a WVU football team. They couldn’t even get crap points against the back ups. And this team two years later goes 11-0 two years later,btw. Insane! 😂

What’s the song at the beginning? Sounds like a Penn state spirit song.

brings back many memories! Blue Band 87-91

The fumble by Patrick was a bogus call as well. He was down.

That second Navy TD play was executed perfectly. The camera angle was perfect.

Textbook spearing at 6:12

I remember watching this game on VHS. I was living overseas and received care packages from home with Penn State and Steelers games. I would watch them multiple times to help with the homesickness which is probably why I have this one burned into my memory 30+ years later.. I vividly remember Paterno talking about the fake punt before half time. The team had enough mistakes in the first half for him to light them up in the locker room.

This defense was the typical bend but don't break!!! They were fantastic, Shane Conlin and Andre Collins were phenomenal and D.J. on the offense as well!!!! I loved when we went into the Fiesta bowl all about business!!! And, Miami got off the plane wearing military camaflouge and laughing, and then we intercepted Testaverte 5 times!!!!!!

Holy shit the partying after... Beautiful

Houston coach didn't look interested in shaking hands at the end.

Frank Solich should have been fired after this blowout. There was very little creativity and no defensive adjustments. Penn State threw screens, delayed run plays and play action all evening. The game with Miami showed cracks and flaws in the program and many thought it was due to talent differential. This game showed that Solich and this staff were not right for this job. Nebraska was actually the more talented team yet were blown out due to a lack of preperation, complacency, inability to adjust and the lack of creativity.

Walter Lewis for Alabama: an interception machine.

Anyone know the song that plays in the beginning of the video?

WE Are............. Penn State!!!!!!

I thought byu's cougar stadium was "Skittles" stadium back in the 80s, but my gosh, Penn St has us beat here. Every color of the rainbow in the crowd. Red, yellow, green, lol. Stadiums look so much better now with school colors. Guess the whiteout wasn't a thing back then.

Why keep Schlitcher in the game when Gerald has so much experience at QB. Bad call Woody!
