1995 PSU @ NU Replay

by InScoresOfOtherGames on May 8, 2009 5:16 PM EDT

Anybody else watching this? How did PSU lose this game (or at all this season?)

Some thoughts

3 longtime NFL starters on the offensive line (Rivera, Hartings, Johnson)
Milne and Whitman were much shiftier runners than I remember - could even be considered fast - or is this just related to my first thought?
This game reminded me of why people disliked Wally. My recollection was that he was an above average QB. Maybe he was just off this day - I haven't seen any of his other starts lately - but how did they not get the ball downfield more with Scott + Engram.
Man, I still hate Chris Eberle
Being a Bears fan, it's hard to look back on Enis in a positive light, but from what I can tell his inability to play was what deflated the team
Does anyone else recall why this team wasn't better? Lots of talent. It seems that NU has the edge in leadership with Fitzgerald & Autry, and I seem to recall thinking that PSU was devoid of leadership.

And, yeah, I know it really didn’t matter, just being stupid.

Penn State spent

the majority of 1995-1999 being considerably less than the sum of it’s parts. In 20/20 heindsight it’s easy to see how ripe for a fall we were. We were the perfect example of a fat and complacent program, relying on being bigger, stronger and faster that our opponents, and getting beat, often soundly, when we weren’t.

When I saw that Northwestern game listed as a “Greatest Game” I almost wanted to rewatch it, I didn’t remember it being that close. My recolection of that game is watchig it in a dorm at Mt. Alto campus saying, “Damn, we’re getting our asses handed to us by Northwestern!”, and just being stupid pissed because I felt entitled to win the game. Strange days.

Mt. Alto Campus

Used to have cool bonfire parties. I only partied there a few times, but had fun when I did.

Hey, this game is fun too and you can make it fun. --j. odrick
