2005 Ohio State at Penn State (10 Minutes or Less)

[@jace15076]

I was at this game with my wife. Since then she has passed. This was one of our greatest memories. It's been 7 years and I still remember every second of that day.

[@GreenRiver72]

All the warmth through that chilly drizzle. Sorry for your loss.

[@mikespeck9470]

crazy the amount of future NFL players on both teams in this game.

[@pastamike83]

I was at this game as a senior. I will never forget the sounds and emotion from that night. Go State!

[@rpm2085]

I was at that game as well. It was the loudest Penn State game I"ve ever been too. I sat write next to the student section.

[@donaldkoide4847]

I watched from my living room but could hear the stadium from close to five miles away. It took a long time to figure out what the noise was until I realized it coincided with the action in the game.

[@controllz__755]

Paul Poslauszny and Tamba Hali. Two of the greatest linebackers in the NFL today!? That was a hell of a defense

[@john1985278]

That penn state defense that year was one of the best in college football history in my opinion.

[@lainiwakura4678]

Jay Alford was a monster early in his career with the Giants too. As a rookie was part of that dominant front 4 that suffocated Brady and spoiled the Pats undefeated season in 07.

[@GreenRiver72]

@@lainiwakura4678 Jay's a hilarious dude too. Best Paterno-era celebrations lol. :)

[@The_Husband_of_Jane_Lane]

Paul Poslauszny played in the NFL? Gee, didn't know that. I never heard of him until I played NCAA Football 06 for the 2019 season. He is in the game, but is not allowed to have his likeness in the game.

[@charlesbolton6736]

That front 7 is the reason they're a top 3 PSU defense. The 86 PSU defense was even better.

[@woody0499]

It was so magical in the stadium that night. I will never forget this wonderful night. ELECTRIC

[@jasonvoorhees6416]

Sure was. Very special night

[@bosmith1820]

yep and the defense closed the deal unlike the 2018 game.

[@oscarrobert4725]

Hard to believe it was 17 years ago: a lifetime

[@jasonvoorhees6416]

Very special night. Probably my all time favorite penn state game. Had more meaning than what people think. Tell you what this game at my house was bigger than any super bowl or bowl game. Psu vs osu is big for my family being raised as penn state fans in Columbus Ohio .

[@allengreene9954]

Finally a video where you see comments about Football and not about the Penn State scandal.

[@mitchellalvarez234]

it's funny you should mention that because this game and season is a perfect example of when a guy should know when to retire and leave on top(like osborne in nebraska or dean smith at unc or pete sampras winning the u.s. open im his finale or barry sanders in 1998), paterno could have had the storybook ending with the 11 win season, the orange bowl victory, the electric atmosphere of the crowd cheering him on and then ease into the sunset, but dude had to keep on and on and on, and well you know what went down 6 years later.

[@allengreene9954]

MITCHELL ALVAREZ I guess he wanted one more shot at a national title because the 05 season helped erase doubt from critics that the game had passed him by and that he was outdated as a head coach. The 08 team looked like they were on their way to a national title until the Iowa game and they just got destroyed in the Rose Bowl by Southern Cal and the next year after beating LSU in the Florida Citrus Bowl it would have been another great time for him to walk away but idk. That Orange Bowl win against Florida State was one of the best games ever played though.

[@mitchellalvarez234]

Allen Greene definitely, 2 legendary coaches at the twilight of their runs(him and bowden) as crazy as this sounds, i actually liked that orange bowl game as much as the national title game between usc and texas that year

[@allengreene9954]

MITCHELL ALVAREZ Yeah it was enjoyable.

[@CC-bm3wb]

You do realize you just reopened that can of worms XD

[@pburt68]

I was only in middle school (12 years old) when they played this game and it definitely left an impression on me and one I will never forget. At the time I didn't really even follow college football that much but I remember all the talk in school and hype about this game that year. I also remember how much of an adrenaline rush it was watching it. I distinctly remember (at 12 years old) wishing so bad I was a college student in State College to experience that atmosphere that night; at that time I had never been to a PSU game. Then just 6 years after that (2011) I became freshman at PSU. But this particular game against OSU is one that still sticks with me (even to this day) because it left so much of an impression that I remembered it all through my high school years leading up to my acceptance letter from PSU and I couldn't wait to be able to go to PSU games as a student because of it.

[@GreenRiver72]

Cool man. I also started following Penn St. during their great mid-90s seasons (when I was in middle school myself). I was at this 17-10 game with a group of about 12 dudes, maybe 5 rows above the "S". I remember cell phones were overloaded before the gates opened but I was able to find the group right before we went in. It was like a crowded stockyard trying to get from under the stands up to the bleachers, and we took this opportunity to start many chants that then echoed around us. We snuck in a couple Miller High Lifes and passed them around at kickoff. Everyone was super psyched despite the cold drizzly weather. A memory for the ages.

[@rpm2085]

That was the loudest Penn State game I've ever been too.

[@IanJohnston-xp6yh]

Me to

[@Seveneleven44]

Been going to games for 25 years, this was by far and away the best game ever played in beaver stadium. Not one fan of any age sat down the entire game. I remember coming to the game at noon and my cell phone didn’t work about 10 miles from the stadium because there were so many people in the area. I got onto the field after the game, and took a big chunk of field with my. Still have it 13 years later. Section EH, ROW 26,seat 18.

[@joebuck4957]

The Linebackers in this game were incredible

[@afridgetoofar1818]

on both sides

[@daveromanyshyn1170]

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

[@The_Husband_of_Jane_Lane]

2005 was the year Penn State experience a big turnaround that season. They were a joke in 2003 and 2004, but 2005, Penn State went from a joke to an incredibly awesome team.

[@11Hiller]

"that's the best student section in the country"

[@charlesbolton6736]

That defensive front 7 was fast, smart and relentless.

[@GreenRiver72]

I know right. They were the ones who let the linebackers shine. All around great unit.

[@charlesbolton6736]

@@GreenRiver72 to an extent. You can also say that the linebackers also let the D line flourish as well.

[@charlesbolton6736]

@@GreenRiver72 the linebackers are a part of the front 7. 4 D lineman and 3 linebackers are the front 7.

[@billyjackson5010]

That's awesome. This was the first Penn State football game I ever watched... I haven't missed one since.

[@XFactoration101]

I would love to see this era of penn state again

[@skipsterz]

I miss seeing PSU teams play with this much confidence and swag. Straight up ballers, not stars on paper.

[@GreenRiver72]

I know right. Seems the change happened around 2011...

[@bosmith1820]

Yeah now they choke in the 4th quarter under Franklin.

[@dpfunk78]

This is the best football game I ever remember watching. The NCAA says it never happened.

[@bosmith1820]

No they didn't. Sandusky wasn't the DC in 05.

What a great night. We still are penn state

Holly's smile at 9:30 - puts everything in perspective :)

9:30 You cannot convince me Joe Pa was in control of that team at this point in his career. His assistants were calling the shots. Joe just had to walk the sidelines confidently.

[@slack3r9]

8:48 probably the loudest I facer ever heard beaver stadium. Best gamer i've been too. The alumni stood the entire game, that's how much energy there was, only game i've ever seen that. Stadium was literally shaking on this play.

[@anthonygraham8122]

Does anyone have this whole game. I'm 36, and only got to see the tail end of this game 14 years ago. I was a server in college and missed this one.

[@NittanyNation22]

@XFactoration101 Era? This was a season after we had 4 losing seasons within a 5 year span and since this season, we had back to back 11 win seasons for the first time in a long time at Penn State.

I know, this was his game. Paul had several sprints like that through the night - perfect angle, pro-level speed. All was right at Linebacker U.

Gave up my ticket to go run the Steamtown Marathon in Scranton. Hotel TV didn't work so I had to listen to it on the radio.

[@andreamadea3994]

To think this season was 1 second away from being undefeated, still irks me. Lloyd Carr bitching to the refs like always.

[@GreenRiver72]

Yup that afternoon on Fall break. Never forget M-Rob's 4th down run, score ... and then the end. Still a legendary season :).

[@josephp2109]

Just imagine this OSU offensive roster under Urban or Day……

[@tuowl0564]

I was never a PSU fan at all (Temple undergrad/ND executive program) but found myself rooting like hell this 2005 October night for the Nittany Lions. I probably disliked Ohio State more going back to the Cooper days and as a 1-AA/FCS fan I found Jim Tressel far more likeable at Youngstown State. The fact that PSU took down OSU this night was great. If only Notre Dame was able to beat them a couple of months later in Fiesta Bowl... I had just sat outside to watch Lehigh-Holy Cross in the same rainstorm that afternoon. In fact, I think the Lehigh Valley got considerably more rain than the State College area. The grass turf at Lehigh's Goodman Stadium was literally covered in standing water.

[@GreenRiver72]

Yeah man, Allentown airport recorded 8.71" rain that day, holy moly.

[@stevestarscream5182]

God bless Joe Pa!!!!!! My all time fav and a great man!!!! Justice for Joe!!!

Yes, it’s too bad the child rapist protector never faced any real justice. But at least he’s dead with a lot of his wins vacated.

Nope we still call it Paternoville.

[@ekim2512]

One thing about the great Paterno teams - like Joe said at the end of this game - they played solid football and didn't turn the ball over. The 2016 Big Ten Championship season was a wild one. PSU overcame sloppy play in several games by making big plays on offense.

[@kizitokatende412]

​@@ekim2512 2017 team was prolly even better than the 16 team. And the 17 team was third in it's own division 😂
