wolverines will kick it off this is jay feely from odessa florida there is steven pitts his last home game as a nittany lion this senior day coming out from the six yard line trying to find an alley

punt oh god he's not going to get close to midfield i hope they were right whoever they were they're down there and howard could not hold on to the ball and kim herring picked off the ricochet on this one coach ricocheted off his shoulder patreon he just laying it over the top here comes the ball bang right up in the air it's batted up there like volleyball right into kim herring's hands for the interception big big play i don't think it's his fault i think this ball should have been caught right it should have been really it should have been caught france like michigan it's second down now scott turns back and here's whitman on a cutback a beautiful run and i believe [Applause] third and three with richardson throwing for the first down batted away that's why i came back here today even though the weather was bad and the roles are bad i got to see the guys who i came in with going through their last game and um it's very touching to come back in i gave them all high fives but i'm very happy to be here so wolverines will attempt to mount a drive the akavatuka [Applause] and out of bounds [Applause] [Music] [Applause] first down midfield now freeze it right here there was a tight end here that shifted over here they got the defense to move over moving to the right as they slam now they come through they get a good lead block right there and he's off and running out pitts

gerald irons coming over to help out venus first down at the 20. here's the toss for the freshman thompson blitz left they sent him out he's a receiver they've got him archie 5 rt touchdown penn state archie scores for the nittany lions right here they didn't pick him up coming out of the backfield someone should be assigned to pick him up many times it should be a safety coming out of the

wolverines with mercury hayes bringing it out and the snow's starting to fall right here 214-119 but penn state has the time of possession but they're also plus one on the turnover factor right there and i think that's why the game is is right now as it is 13 to [Applause] 7. approaching 100 yards he's rushed for 99. or maybe not hold on everybody because terry killens of cincinnati showing you why he's one of the best at that defensive end he's an outstanding blocker a couple times in the first half off a play fake greasy firing running back [Applause] and he is [Applause] richardson over the middle dumps third down now and the nittany lions need to reach the 43-yard line all summer is short since early in a ball game and here's tumer with a whole lot of good feelings that go back in
