Kerry Collins was a very good QB who played for Penn State in 1994 they were even ranked #1 for a while with Collins at QB. Kerry Collins became a good starting quarterback in the NFL he lead the Giants to a Superbowl that they lost to Ray Lewis and an all time great loaded Ravens defense but Penn State has had a few legit QB'S back in the day.

@@e2go iirc, joepa had made a derogatory remark along the lines of “I won’t leave college football to the Barry Switzers and Jackie Sherrills of the world” at some point during the ‘80s and Oklahoma used that as extra motivation in that Orange Bowl loss for the nittany lions. As a Bama fan I miss the series that we played back in that decade-much mutual respect between our fan bases.

Alabama played horrible in this game. Alabama had a great team that year. They ran out of gas late in the season. Look at their schedule from that year. They was emotionally drained by the time they reached this game. Penn State would have probably still won but Alabama would have given them a much better game and atleast had a chance. The halfback screen hurt both teams. Penn State had a great team that year no doubt

We had somewhat of an advantage when we played Bama in the 1980s. Bama was always one of our biggest games, while we were not one of Bama's biggest games. Bama's biggest games back then were against the likes of Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, LSU and Auburn. I guess some things never change. This game was played around October 25, right in the middle of the SEC schedule. Bama was ripe for a let down game.
