2006 Orange Bowl #3 Penn State vs #22 Florida State No Huddle

[@LeoWhalen1933]

I was at this game. I will NEVER EVER forget how much fun I had. I am in debt to all the coaches and players on BOTH teams. AMAZING!!!!

[@bradishler5967]

This was the year. I started to hate Michigan. I was like 12 years old and have hated them since. This was Joe's last closet season to a national championship

[@AaronStark1993]

Great couple days of college football. I remember watching this game and the USC - Texas game the next day. Both had me on the edge of my seat. Nothing better than bowl season.

[@LogoFreak93]

I remember this game, I stayed up to watch it with my parents when I was 12, it's my favorite game that I ever watched. I misremembered a few things from this, I thought Florida State was ranked #4 for some reason. It went into triple overtime and I was so nervous and excited. I'm a Penn State fan and I think this is the best game I've ever seen. I used to be a casual Penn State fan until this year, only watching bowl games and big games with my parents, now this year I'm watching regular games. Thank you for letting me relive these memories.

[@hitmontree3736]

I remember watching this in middle school. I'm 31 now and this is still one of the greatest Penn State victories I've witnessed!

[@soulprovider7042]

I remember going to work late on 3rd shift because of this game. One of my top 5 PSU games. Michael Robinson was tough as nails... took that hit to the head when his helmet came off.

[@cultbender]

Michael Robinson is the only guy I’ve seen lay hits harder on offense than any defensive guy. He put Ray Lewis on his ass in the NFL.

[@jc4388]

I had spanish class with him, he was PSU's version of mike vick. He was built like a fireplug. He walked around campus with a 20 man entourage.

[@seventhkeyomegasghost8233]

I remember being in college watching this game, physical. The ABC intro's were great.

[@giloudijk2419]

I "watched" this game from the jungles of Brazil (a selva). My friend in New Jersey had the game on the TV and he was giving the play-by-play over the telephone (that was a long and expensive call, but then I'm a Penn State grad, '84. When the game went into overtime, my friend kept threatening that he had to go to bed. " But I'm your boss I yelled. Go to work late!

[@bennydemario4624]

right up there with one the best games I've ever seen!!!

[@markjackson6431]

AARP Bowl….there are two of the best coaches ever

[@Yorktown48]

The post game discussion on the field was an iconic moment in college football.

[@chrisuncleahmad789]

For a shaky BCS team, FSU acquitted themselves better than their 4 loss 2003 Sugar Bowl team did vs Georgia

[@jc4388]

Or their undefeated 2023 team did vs GA in the orange bowl.

[@AustinG813]

​@jc4388 there was like 5 starters that played in that game lol

[@adangbe]

CLASSIC Performance by the low ranked Seminoles!

[@goldarankin2268]

PS and TenneseeTitans Linebacker Tim Shaw is From my husbands high school Clarenceville Mi Tim now is fighting ALS and is a inspiration he helped pay for the schools new field turf and additions and has a summer football camp for the youth .

[@Jdub14000]

I played against him in high school. He was a beast! Praying Tim Shaw.

[@LancasterResponding]

I watched this game with my dad and at one point I said “if I hear the tomahawk chop one more time I’m gonna kill somebody.” It was INCESSANT! It just kept happening. It was driving me insane.

[@nathaniellathy6559]

Field goal kickers are great to have when they make them. 😆🤣😂😹

[@ericbarth5334]

Ohio Pennsylvania West Virginia, 3-0 in the BCS this particular year.

[@RyanWSi]

One of the best Penn State teams ever that got robbed at Michigan

[@LancasterResponding]

I mean even if we went undefeated we’d probably still play in this game. USC and Texas were on another planet with how good they were.

[@kraisonpetrovdo7891]

great old day for penn state

[@blacksmith44]

My favorite team since junior high. I now 57,so there you go.

[@gosiahodge3462]

PSU alum living in FSU country..beating the Noles made things very peaceful for me at that time.

[@bennyrobinson1935]

What a flipping game

[@likejimi5845]

Derrick William's would of returned a punt in this if he played

[@michaelpatuto10]

I was there!! Goodtimes..

[@WalterWhiteFootballSharing]

Im here; because Superbowl Winning Seahawks FULLBACK Micheal Robinson, is Quarterbacking an 11-1 #3 ranked team? Dude didn't even get a shot.

[@CoreyT127]

Finished 8-5 that season because they always played up to their opponent like this game, but unfortunately always played down to their opponent! Overall we had no business in the orange, or any other bcs bowl that year! Bobby Bowdens last team that made a big new years bowl! Sugar,Orange,Rose,Sugar,Cotton! And really the cotton bowl was a joke a few years after the SWC devolved for like 10 years from 97-07! And the peach bowl just got as big as the rest recently, but before that it hosted conference runner ups only ! Always good games tho

[@aaronrider4051]

FSU lost their final 3 regular season games, including getting pounded by Clemson and Florida, only to knock off #5 VA Tech decisively and then nearly beat a great PSU team. I will never understand how FSU managed such a strange season.

[@kev614]

Now why is this Ohio State basketball?

[@MeIn321]

Those kickers...

[@nathaniellathy6559]

Ohio State won Fiesta Bowl.Penn State won Orange.Good results for Big Ten in 05 season 😳

[@Jwill91]

3 Overtimes in south Beach Miami, FL. 2006 orange Bowl . Noles & Joe Pa's Lions!

[@legalgreenmusic7860]

Rip To both legendary Coaches most Recent Coach Bowden...sad how Joe Pa went out smh

[@r5t6y7u8]

Penn Stater here. The Noles and Bobby were my second favorite team, so I'd like to say I loved this game ... but I can't. Very sloppy: too many penalties and missed kicks.

[@jc4388]

Talk about a scrappy game. Both these teams wanted this one for their respective coach.

[@jabbers081769]

ty my brother sb

[@michaelwilt273]

Wow Penn state ranked #3 but had to go triple overtime versus a crappy #22 fsu team they barely won

[@kev614]

Florida State upset #5 Virginia Tech the game before this to be ACC Champions. Also this was a home game for Florida State

[@MeIn321]

Did they win? Okay! No matter how good FSU was, they're still FSU. I'll take that victory.

[@nathaniellathy6559]

Big plays not enough for Florida State 😒

[@fiesta061000]

Florida State didn't really deserve to be in a BCS game in 2005 and entered the game with an 8-4 record ⁉🏈🏟However, Florida State played V-Tech and Penn State tough at the end of the season..Florida State upset a 10-1 V-Tech team in the ACC Championship and almost beat the Big11Ten Champion (PSU) in the Orange Bowl..🤔

[@JohnKromko-vm7of]

Joe (the greatest of all time) looks like he has orange Trump Tint on his face.

[@Kramer-tt32]

Penn state was a little overrated this game, this is when fsu was turning into hot garbage. Both teams where probably 20-30th ranked teams.
