Penn State at Michigan 1994 GAME STORY

[Music] abc sports college football presents something special from the big ten the penn state netany lions and the michigan wolverines to sit above this massive old history history-laden stadium and look out across the countryside which is mother nature's palace this time of the year is really a privilege and college football in its 125th year may never be better than it will be in today's ball game i believe they're very much underrated kerry collins as a matter of fact leads the nation in passing they're fifth year seniors they are very accurate running backs you ask we've got them today kajana carter and tyrone wheatley explosive running backs big play people both of them coming off of an injury but in both field is in very good condition it has dry and it's been dry all week long and so here we go with a big one mike archie four yards deep will down it and ten stakes first possession will begin at their own 20-yard line and the offense comes on the field with big number 12 stepping in he's big enough to play tight in 6'5 235 a fifth year senior from west lawn pennsylvania and you see his numbers there he has had a very good year so this could be the day the collins boys ride roughshod across the countryside both quarterbacks are named the colors kajana carter and brian milne open up in the backfield behind kerry collins and penn state's first play is a pass collins is hit hard but delivers the ball to kajana carter and if you had questions about hearts on the first play a pass and kerry collins will give it this time for carter de janeiro runs it up the middle pops it to the outside he has great speed he needs a little help on the corner he takes it to midfield and it's a first down i love stayed with him and made today we'll get after you quickly and if you're not careful with them then you'll be 21 more down very explosive offense mike archie checks into the backfield now but she is a good pass receiver and as well as being a slashing garter of a runner cuts it back into the middle that's in front for penn state is led on the strong side by hardings and common they line up with the tight end kyle brady and that is a formidable threesome to run behind penn state third down and two for the lion pressure comes kerry collins pass drilled and completed to bobby ingram at the michigan 33 and a first time vagina carter is the deep back now he has the ball [Applause] pounds away gets across swings it out to carter catches it gets a first down inside the 28 down to the 15 yards he's got going in motion balance to carter he goes to the 12. mike archie in the middle and he has taken the 24-yard try and it's good and so penn state in its opening possession starts at the 20-yard line and goes down for the 12 where they settle for a three to nothing lead so at penn state get into that win six runs five passes from the four yard line it's set smith penalty flags are climb and smith is buried short of the 10 yard line [Applause] it's against michigan as the wolverines will snap it from their own four yard line penn state to a three-nothing lead on the first possession todd collins first pass is completed to trumer and domani trumer runs across the 20 and clears the 25 team michigan smith in motion and college dumps it off here comes seth smith the freshman from carbondale illinois out to the 34-yard of michigan now wheatley is the obvious man the celebrated tailback just now rounding into form after a separated shoulder tumor hayes and a former quarterback riemersma is the tight end and a very good receiver go to your strength with columns second down and two they again go to tumor the penn state defender slipped and fell and damani trumer turns in another big play pittman slip first and five here's your first run it's wheatley and they track him down after he picks up maybe a yard not marked by a lot of all-stars gail kaiser is anybody's all-star but this is a bunch of guys that will do their job the way they're coached to do it they will stay at home and they will knock your hat off they are tough people who play together well dingle and holes now dingles uh had a sore knee hold the sore shoulder they're both out of the ball game right now with jason collins and uh they're not fancy but they just simply do what they're supposed to do here's todd collins underneath to a monte tumor who gets away and has a first down inside the 30-yard line put it on the 25 wheatley they cut him off at the pass pretty well he had to jump down and ten it's it's been a while this is up the middle bianca batuca to the 12-yard line in upper first quarter first possession from michigan started on four bianca patuka gets a yard rima small the tight end is moving around he's a big target the ball is thrown toward him and he can't reach it riemer small former quarterback not playing tight in is the holder and it hit the upright and bounced away no good right after michigan misses the field goal [Applause] and carter carey it's carter again searches through and finds his way to the third they need to stay and win some games kansas san diego's taking off that's the tight end kyle's right through there very good player second down this is the fullback john whitman sixth lead first down lines midfield kerry collins good fake man is wide open freddy scott first down lions michigan 32.

to be lions lead in three nothing this is their second possession of the ball game pikachu morrison now with five tackles as kerry collins throws under pressure val brady tied in fighting for the first down and mayor three first quarter that's ready spot give it to johnny carter looking for a block on the corner will find his way to about the 21. michigan 21. icarchy is the deep back they come archie gets the ball after all by himself he's a tailback and he's down inside the five first and goal fence the two linebackers on the inside were blitzing i don't know whose responsibility this was if the linebackers were supposed to play the school professional for three points [Applause] now you've got both those big pullbacks in there bill and whitman and you give it to the quarterback flips it to the tight end old summer keith ulcemer for the top down first down is a great down to throw on the goal line little play action holds the linebackers to tight end collins a fifth year senior day penn state steps up to a 10-00 lead over michigan [Applause] [Music] their first possession 41 seconds remaining now in the first quarter 10 to nothing kent state leading they continue to jump all over people in the first quarter and michigan continues to be a relatively inept or at least quiet in the first quarter this is tyrone wheatley carrying for the michigan's ball second down and six and wheatley looking for the outside will lose on the play as vil yabor kota [Applause] he's the man in motion now and todd collins rose looking for the deep play has to go underneath on it the penalty flag is thrown armani troomer it's 10 yards it is pass interference [Applause] penalty but the important thing of course is to jump over and make it a first down one of those plays where you might be tempted to go big single coverage down here turns it back spins into the crowd comes away with a first down loses the ball and penn state recovers it jason collins the strong safety recovered well watch number eight that's collins jason collins he's not only going to recover it but he's going to strip him from the boy he's got a good hold on right here now he's pulling he's got another safety there so if he doesn't get the best beginning the third quarter with carter and wickman and kerry collins goes to the sidelines to the big tight end brady brady gets past the marker and passing leaders quarterbacks in the nation carrie collins leads it todd collins is sixth what a machine this penn state offense is as you take a look at todd collins on the sideline carter [Music] kajana carter has it carrying it in the left hand the right hand is the one that was injured he gets safely around the corner turns on the jets and goes inside from the other side of the field tight end's going to get up with good block brady harding's the guard is going to get a block number 50. those two wide receivers are down there working nobody touches carter until he gets about 10 yards downfield and it's kajana carter what 210 in second down and goal just inside the five this is carter touchdown penalty flag hold the phone let's see what the flag's about holding penn state no td bring it back what's the right side of the screen 53 that's the uh conlon the strong side good receiver gary collins getting pleasure turns up field and taken down at the 14. steve morrison number 36 on the michigan 14 and kerry collins swings the ball out to archie and mike archie will get back to the 10. fred conway kicked the 24 yarder in the very first possession of the ball game everything looks good and is good he hit it with considerable authority [Music] a little bit smith downs it sweetly todd collins looks down the middle and throws and the ball is dropped by a money tumor he was in traffic no questions now they're rolling downhill from this starting point the pass is completed to the big tied in kyle brady and brady goes all the way down to the michigan 20. that is his fourth catch in the ball game and you just knew this big guy was going to have a big day but you can just smell it coming he blocks slow blocks the man that's supposed to be covering him is a strong safety thompson was fooled by the play action that's why the play action of collins was so good he should have been gary collins gives it to kajana carter and carter adds to his total he gets his 10th carry 20 to go in the first half penn state threatening again wall goes up the middle of the fullback or the michigan defense they have huge splits unusually large splits in that offensive line kajana carter it's morrison again jason horn on the bottom ben synkowitz so this is a 29-yarder and if he's successful penn state will have scored on every possession and he got it and so at 5 49 to play in the first half the nittany lions lead 16 to nothing running football higher on wheatley's with the backfield and top comments let it go to the tight end reimu and remus might have the first down [Applause] knocked the ball loose bob collins throws again 16 to nothing penn state leads scott collins quickly the ball is caught by tumor and he's wrestled 32 wheatley is the deep [Applause] and up near the line of scrimmage the play is not good against this you had single coverage on the outside and an opportunity to check weld completely single back collins throwing gotta hurry back at the 46 46-yard line by willie smith mike archie waits for it and kent stayed in and baker gets it up and archie with a fair catch at the penn state 10 yard line you've got a minute and 33 seconds left to [Applause] [Music] lets it go play down for you bobby england just beyond his reach incomplete third down and eight [Applause] carrie collins throws for bobby engram depending on the play is dion johnson of the passes needs a wide receiver by trade doing the hunting and it takes a michigan bounce comes back up field after coming out of boston college last week todd collins has got daylight in front of him gets to about midfield and you've got a late flag it is first down from michigan at the penn state 35 todd collins on a roll have some time with the roll as a man mercury hayes out of bounds after the three yard drive trying to get the wolverines on the scoreboard it is into the win it is good the half is over at that time it is penn state 16 michigan three and michigan will have the opening kickoff to start the second half of playing getting the opening kickoff to start the second half of play it is seth smith that's their best starting point that's a look at the first half statistically uh everything is penn state 241 yards to 167 the one turnover by michigan led to a field goal by penn state time of possession just about even [Applause] and todd collins gives him the ball and tyrone wheatley is not being given much room to run around wheatley finds a hole he's gone touchdown collins 121 yards and a touchdown carter 85 yards on 12 rushes and the tight end brady was the leading receiver and step up and contain them that's freddie scott in motion ball is given to johnna carter on a sweep he took a lick but he stood up and took it again and picked up six yards off the plate gary collins looks one way goes to scott on the other side that's freddy has a first down carter gets tangled up and goes down likes to slant their linemen and this time they were slanting to the inside zinkowitz from the right side of your screen carter sees him slips a little bit and goes down that's an unusual loss for that young man gary collins with good protection goes to the tight end kyle brady and kyle brady takes a wallop you've got four wide outs and kerry collins rolls out to buy some time johnson goes after him he gets the ball away and it is incomplete intended for chris campbell to suck not very well done joe paterno has not found himself a punter in motion and todd collins passes away to comer first [Applause] wheatley [Applause] kicking that ball way down the field and fletcher gets a welcome it was late in the first half that the momentum changed this was a play that penn state had scored on but holding by conlan 53 brought the touchdown back they kicked the field goal the other penalty in the first half was a spearing call on gail's heiser right here on collins this continued the michigan drive and led to a field goal right before the half and since the half the second half has started the momentum is still in with michigan kerry collins throws to mike archie he's got a little room across the 20 out to about the 22. that's the finished troops fired up at halftime this is kajana carter carrying the ball just over the 30 call it second down and eight first reverse coming with bobby ingram he's the speedster out of south carolina and he's all the way to the michigan 40-yard line carter that's a first down [Applause] the running back rg coming towards the bottom of the picture the ball is thrown to the tiny and brady and kyle brady with a clutch catch his sixth of the day puts penn state at the michigan 11. look at brady the man motioned outside of him the halfback number eight price is supposed to be covering him and the reason he has to cover him is because the defensive back had to go out with the half back in motion lob to the corner full back whitman touchdown [Applause] behind the defense we see both wide receivers away the tight end and full back he's working with those two players throws it over price number eight thompson was covering the tight end they will throw brady he looks for him can't find him goes the other way freddie scott good you just saw two great throws [Applause] the throw for the touchdown was a touch pass this he had to use a little little steam a little and then a little touch to get it over and in [Music] that's impressive has pretty good protection gets it off down the middle nice catch by mercury hayes for the first down that'll be all right 24-17 penn state leads it todd collins pumps it up and lets it fly armani tumor on the run can't get to it first gotta run a reverse with mercury hayes he got a block on the corner he's got a first down and he's out of bounds at the 46th bianca matuka stacked up after about a yard quickly napoleon kaufman since he was playing at longfolk high school out in california this is about that yep the illegal push in the back by michigan 14 now as the ball comes back to the 43 and pitch it to the akumatuka here they come for the reverse they fake the double reverse seth smith keeping the ball oh look at this the akka batuco there were 835 media passes issued for this ball game baker gets a nice high hanging puff archie runs away from it oh and that's out of bounds inside the one carter that's almost the first down all right on first down kerry collins gives to kajana carter again and he will be looking at third and six on their own 15-yard line kerry collins task is incomplete intended for bobby ingram defended by the starting point for this possession todd collins rolls out lets it go big for tumor he caught it second to nine pitch it to wheatley trying to get outside [Applause] and it is [Music] taken down first beverage out here to the right pressure coming dump it off caught by foster the fullback he did not get in if they don't get in they leave penn state back up on the goal line that has to be the philosophy here penalty flags all over the place as bianca makuka gets into the end zone but let's see about the flag fletcher hamilton will kick it [Applause] it's a good kick down to the four-yard line for fletcher oh that's a lick that's not just a hit that's how he played yet for 11 and a half minutes kerry collins on a roll zinke which is after him big tackle forces the throw the pass is in well michigan's had four first downs as a result of penalties there's a pass drilled to the sidelines to freddie scott and stops up to the 45-yard line for a first down there's a running back this is kajana carter fork and he when he sees a crack he really gets through it doesn't he john whitman was back in at full back go back to carter now and he just keeps on high stepping through the ground lost the football michigan may have it they do i'm pretty sure the ball fell out it becomes a first down at the 38-yard line and carrie collins is sacked jason horn 14. the disney lions in a 24-24 ball game little pitch out to mike archie got a block gets inside the 40 to about the 38. got him throws the ball into the ground it's an incomplete forward pass but carrie collins showed you one of the great values of being six five 235 pounds he shook off dion johnson the wolverines have two quick touchdowns in the third quarter and we've had ourselves a whale of a second half the pitch to tyrone wheatley lioness tribute not quite lost the yard todd collins under pressure whoa he took a pretty good lick willie smith come over third down and eight todd collins rolls to buy time throws underneath the coverage throws it in the ground throws it back get the number one passer in the country with the number one offense and scoring in total yards and they're starting from almost the 50-yard line their own [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and loses a yard kerry collins for ingram just a bit too high that is main carter [Applause] colin's looking for brady goes instead for ingram and it is incomplete the ball was not catchable there were three and that's where we are right now this is weekly with the ball finding his way two over three in the nation michigan number five tyron wheatley michigan covers it willie smith number 52 came like a falling he is unblocked he is an outside linebacker bianca duke i mean uh wheatley went in motion the ball almost slips out of his hand before he's hit this exchange of kicks that's a pretty good punt however by baker all the way back to the 38-yard line mike archie and stopped at the 44 under the backfield for the lions and kerry collins fires to the sidelines and that's out of bounds oh they gave him the catch he got his foot down apparently inside bobby ingram with a great play kircher right there looking at it don't know it looks like it might be in i think it doesn't matter they called him in yeah that he could reach that far out but he made himself tall as they say 41-yard line first down kajana carter steps back in and he has the ball and he's on the move down to the 15-yard line all day rivera is number 54. greely the center is 60. 68 there is johnson there is a huge hole pullback nothing to it john whitman

have had it penn state is playing run right in here you got one on one on the outside you just drop back and throw quick out either way you might have it looks like he's looking for the slot receiver
