Penn State vs. Michigan State 1994 GAME STORY

he's been called a true son of michigan state but today the george perlis era comes to a close joe paterno spent 45 years in happy valley today his lions trying to cap another perfect regular season and two of his offensive stars have another chance to shine for all the world and the heisman voters to see a lot of people have moved the ball on penn state that really hasn't been a problem the problem has been stopping the penn state offense well michigan state will not stop the penn state office too many good players carter and collins everybody knows about them but i think the key to the penn state offense is their wide receivers bobby ingram and freddie scott two receivers that are averaging both close to 20 yards of catch people cannot move up and play eight-man fronts against penn state they'll get burned with it penn state has got a dynamic receivers in those two more people because this place is a sellout you won't play in front of a bigger audience because this is espn and it's nashville this is a lot of schools would trade their bouldering to have this opportunity this is a great great opportunity for our kids and the opportunity on the kickoff is derrick masons as he takes it out benton berkmeyer coming in hannah first down michigan state and no gain on the play penn state drops goldberg in a hurry the nittany lions defensively todd atkins up front forced a big fumble last year that helped penn state come from behind to win he joins mazique noble and perry and the four-man front brian gelzeiser number two all time and career tackles now for the nittany lions with yaboa cody and willie smith and three different starters have started at the hero spot due to injury jason collins gets the call today with king miller and pittman no gain on play number one in second and ten for tony banks who toss it back to goldberg he cuts up across the 30s close to the 32 that's number two only to carry collins with a penn state signal for his first throw on third and six man open in the flat what a great one-handed catch by green dives ahead for the first down second down at six just into 13 minutes to go first quarter here's green on his first carry out of the backfield and they actually pick a third down situation of the game from the 45. thanks plenty of time wide opens goldberg out of the backfield another spartan first down right near midfield film and isn't quite sure what he's studying when he dies scott green that's why they run him at tailback he gives him a big back option but he's got excellent speed and he rumbles for 18 yards play on the michigan state drive green let his counter and he maybe got back in the line of scrimmage that's about it at the 32 yard line of penn state here comes a blitz from the corner banks stands in fires got it man it's gonna be a touchdown derrick mason 32 yards we talked about the problems penn state had in the secondary the free safety took a very bad angle on that squaring route mike archie and ambrose fletcher back deep archie runs up on it at the 12 yard line [Applause] and archie bounces across to 25 to the 26 that's where carrie collins and the penn state offense we'll set up shop here's how the starting lineup looks bryan milled in for john whitman who's out with a bad ankle kajana carter and collins are both all americans so is kyle brady best tight end in the country he's made two all-american teams already and engerman's got the two wideouts gary talked about excellent group up front they really move their feet well they're not as big as some groups but they pull well and hardings is the leader with conlan greeley rivera and johnson congratulations did the layoffs before they scored bro [Music] usually it takes them about 217 to put points up [Music] nothing doing inside across the 35 given nine ike reese ran into it [Music] flags down as carter is going to be close but again penalty markers on the players [Music] offside michigan state gives penn state and automatically yeah they're bringing it up right now collins may have made the adjustment he will throw quick slang freddie scott to the 44-yard line he's playing a little game of cat and mouse with collins right now he gave him a look with a bear front and then had his linebacker drop off into the flat for a zone so scott in motion colin's gonna wheel and flip it out there to scott on a wide-out screen got a block from carter and then got tattooed at the 37 yard i never heard him suggest a fullback play let's see if freddie called his own number third three connor oh he and collins run into each other on the exchange and he goes down at a heap and a loss of about three the right foot or right knee of the two click michigan state needs a couple breaks [Music] bearcats called for nice acting job got it in the end zone by derrick mason banks in trouble down he goes way back at the 15. situation their third downs have been good but they haven't been third and 15 which is what they have here three wide outs banks in trouble again he scrambles for his life and now he'll take off get what he can and he almost got enough for a first down two yards short all the way outside for penn state nice handling of the low snap by salami and a good kick as well archie at the third mike archie got 20 on the return to midfield penn state midfield after the nice punt return by archie nice play fake by collins got some pressure fires wide open into flats brady's tight end and the all-american works his way down to the 10. [Applause] [Music] well you don't cover the tight end it's a busted assignment by somebody matt christensen is in alex's face but when kyle brady catches this ball he's about 30 yards from the nearest defender bobby ingram and freddie scott out in front of him and i really thought he might do it second and goal at the seven yard line carter is going to score [Applause] try for penn state there's kylan right there that's going to get the block key and you're going to see donna carter basically almost turn around and score on this play right here that's an easy walk on the reason is the way to end the conference at the same time tied up at seven spartans from the 25 and it's over well you heard the crowd where the wolf is coming next third down long three scott green he really isn't afraid drop over the middle trying to go to bob organ his tight end galver banks loads goes the other way incomplete intended for mason and he overthrew [Applause] [Music] 137 left in the corner kajana carter takes it out to the 32 pounds 5 foot 10. he's really a load to bring down seven seven leads the country for carry average you know he's a little bit of a victim of having a great balanced offense or he could be really in the running for the high counter with archie archie a little different kind of runner gives you a little more of that and he takes it out it's probably a little bit more of the spin moves than uh johnna carter is slashing reggie garnett is going to come across and try to make the play ike reese you see down on the top of your screen number 10 bobby ingram throwing on people 34 yards and a couple of touchdowns and that comes from behind effort first down from their [Applause] [Music] [Applause] touchdown [Applause] [Music] option pass archie obviously throws it better than kajana carter really doesn't matter you're throwing it up in the air to bobby ingram you have a chance for good things to happen right here takes it downhill for a couple steps then comes back to get his nice stride forward the ball hung in the air but mike archie had bobby ingram open and i thought number two robert jarrell could have come over while this ball was in the air and made the play he went for the tackle and then just made a poor tackle two men miss pretty good defense neither player made the tackle penn state scores for mike archie his second touchdown pass of the year the other was to freddie scott against temple nice kick mason the yard will bring it and he got a crease derrick mason outside derek mason he might go derrick mason 100 yards touchdown [Music] and rg costello's kick coming up and it will be mike archie he's been electrifying so far today as well from the one punchy across the 30. and boy had one guy or it would have been over penn state from a zone 31 and it's number 32 carter kajana's got 10. [Music] there's the play fake a little bit too far in front of incidental contact down there with state dual set right now and it's bill and he's got the first down you can ask gary barnett northwestern last week and what happened we're tied at 14. colin is off play action he got hammered as he threw but he got it to freddie scott on a crossing pattern and scott's out to the 31-yard line of michigan state 20 coming from the outside i think it's ike reese number 44. he can feel him watch him gun this ball in right there as the cut defender comes across play fake stick out the ball with two hands put it into the stomach turn around you know you got the crossing round coming in the post going deep just make a hard throw and it was right on the button it helps to be 6'5 235 to follow through when you get hit like that there's collins numbers [Music] [Applause] [Music] he waited for him waited for him and then made the cut right behind number 53 keith conlon and boy he's into the secondary great patience as a running back and of course he has that exposure ingram gets it wide open [Applause] [Music] for the touchdown [Applause] brian mills eighth touchdown of this season they're easy with brian bill from a yard out back in front by seven second down at nine banks wanted to bootleg it out now he's in trouble and got it to scott green that's he got to get it to green to the middle of the field and he's all the way to the bench not hold the ball so far today michigan state's done a pretty nice job here comes green and he's got another first down tall hitting a quick screen here's first down again goldberg following his blockers and goldberg got the corner brought it back only the 36 it's first down in the leverage they didn't lose much and here comes green to the 30. scott green defenses are getting the leftovers first down at the 25. banks the quick out completes it down to about the 21 only a pickup of about four duel backfield third and three dozier i don't think so and now we might have a big decision fourth down at about two feet goldberg picked up by willie smith don't get down coming from the inside i'm not sure who got the initial hit to pop that ball through that time looks like no you bought code he got the hit and then fumble pops up in the midair and scotland there thanks to the hit by yaboa cody and the recovery by willie smith and now the offense has it back first down from the 20. and college comes up fire to bobby engram and he ripped off 26 more yards on the passport a square into ingram freddie scott the next time brady on a screen simple plays nothing complicated about it but they do continue to mix up that ball all over the field gary collins maybe had his shakiest game in the one we did against indiana today he is sharp 6 out of 7 and 124 in a touchdown but johnny with a cut back to [Music] [Applause] michigan state secondary right here does not do a good job of tackling this outstanding winner he has such nice patience and body lean he really doesn't make a lot of moves when a guy's going to try to tackle he's got 7 44 in the clock run at penn state by a touchdown here in the second quarter college flips it out to archie and red well nice stop by carl right holding the game [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] out there covering 49 yards conway nine of 11 as best he's 39. [Applause] conway 49 yards that's the best for him this year and it's 24 to 14. this football game have at least had to take four or five minutes off the clock or score [Applause] [Music] wayne goldberg [Music] eric mason get out there by tony pittman 20 years ago [Music] [Applause] tackle in the backfield but he doesn't get away from jason under five and a half in the half banks plenty of time his receiver fell down or that would have been a first down throw napoleon outlawed behind chris salami with a mike archie will wave at this one bear catch it he mishandled it scooped up michigan state let's see they're going to call it no it's a must it's a puff pun it will go right to the point where he got it and determined this is a huge call in this game on the michigan state sideline the ruling was that mike archie did not touch that punt after the fair catch was called for watch her trajectory the ball appear to change as he tries to make this catch oh i'd say he touched the ball i don't think there's any doubt he touched it came down hit his hand and changed the trajectory and spin at the foot penn state gets its second huge break on a punt return situation [Music] [Music] carter first down to johnny carter across the 35 onto the 36-yard line 12 more they could strike in a hurry as they've done three times today colin's off play space two behind freddie scott incomplete [Music] this thing so i would honor the player 51 yards on the ground now it's renaud [Applause] banks over the middle [Applause] [Music] now the organs have something [Applause] and a cutback and now maybe you want to think about taking the time out power to the right and that's the way they go and they've got it to the 10-yard line with scott green their potential to score again and now they'll ground it after they move the sticks the clock started again and took about five seconds off they still have plenty of time they want a touchdown but gary said even a field goal would look good draw play goldberg goldberg got about four comes the blitz banks fires behind muhammad the intended receiver with chris salami to hold got it up and good with 20 seconds left that's the problem 20 seconds left for penn state 24-17 now with toronto has walked on that sideline over there in his career there's our scoring drives for penn state that's why we said don't leave any time on the clock if you can help it collins plenty of time deep out ingram out of bounds at the 46ers catching they hustle in a three wide receiver unit commons with some pressure down the middle and incomplete and usually ingrow makes that has to catch now get rid of this thing just to give him a chance going deep sidelines it's intercepted picked off by henry and henry has got a lot of room in front now the lateral ball is loose and the half will come to an end right there i thought it was a good gamble that time might as well last play of the half everybody knew that intercepted by number 38 first half is over george perlis has two more quarters to coach the spartans of michigan state he's coached from a pretty good first half that's for sure but joe paterno's troops will head to the locker room number two in the land and up by seven 24-17 really kept them in the football game and i really i think that's why michigan state's still in this game seven points from the special team special teams with a hundred yard kickoff return as we take a look at the halftime statistics look at penn state they've had the ball less than 11 minutes they have 316 yards of offense yeah you can do the division on that well they're doing they're getting about 30 yards a minute or something like that in the game that ain't bad they come in number two in the country only to nevada and if they go over 513 yards in this game they'll be the number one offense in the land which they have been much of the year and i think the big thing for michigan state is a pretty good balance had enough passing yards to keep it honest [Music] it here and they may not stop him at all knocked out of bounds but not before he got down island number 53 lead the play this time but you know when you watch carter play you ever play those video games brad looks like johnny carter's playing with a 32-bit and everybody else is on a 16-bit right here he's just moving faster [Music] [Applause] [Music] ball came loose they'll blow it dead after 19 yards straight up the middle for mill trap the right guard comes across kicks out milne just gashes it in there that time by a nice block by andre johnson number 68 gets down to the goal line and that ball did come loose after his arm touched the ground whitman in at the full back now with kajana crotter getting the call for the touchdown his 20th of the year and it's penn state by 14. [Applause] and now the crowd getting into it for the defense no gains todd atkins third and ten banks over the middle scott greene he'll get the first down and then so boy what a game scott grant [Music] [Applause] [Music] man all over the place today they faked the draw banks comes up and rifles another one in tennessee no it drops brian miller had it and lost it he was facing his man like he was going to block and all of a sudden he turned around tony banks thought he was coming inside muhammad turns around expects that ball a good four yards to the outside that was a miscommunication because that was a fine throw and it's tony banks bootlegging out all by himself [Music] side steps throws to the end zone in and out of the hands and a penalty marker down idea carter and his hands on it tony pittman there with it past interference defense penalized passing setbacks for this part before they'll come up throwing and it's green he'll score he's doing it all scott greene touchdown michigan state fred great call by morris agassi [Music] here's the kick of costello to archie at the six mike garcia cross to 25 on two by two first and ten penn state 27 yard line collins off play action deep middle freddie scott he's got it slides up for the 48-yard line second down 16. collins got some pressure but that's what he wanted screen pass to rg out to midfield got back a little bit to you delay blitz coming on columns double pumps and rifles and completes it anger first down at the 34 yard line so nobody's got too much pressure on now connor for the 29 third down conversion third and four here [Music] [Applause] [Music] and they might get a free five there's only three seniors on this offense there's one of them collins rifles it completes it down near the 10-year line good to see you and completes more passes than anybody else ever has in a single season as you saw carter cuts it inside the five he's down to the three from the three yep touchdown kajana carter his third of the day brad i don't know if it's match point but it sure did uh put they just keep answering no matter what the other team does on offense football player in college football right now it seems like the offenses are in total control again kajana carter and you know if that i'm not mistaken that's a you know the kick mark renaud [Music] situation between the two of you that wasn't very good 13 to down 14 out of third and almost three goldberg is going to really have to hustle nice open field stop by jason collins and he's had several today had to be a buster to see you for cody number 43. he gets blocked by the fullback dozier but here comes number eight the free safety where's the wide receiver should have been opportunities in the pros were from the green bay packers and the new york jets down the middle to ingram first down at the 46 of michigan state somewhere else if that possibility arose collins middle screen to carter broken up and covered by juan hammer [Music] blake's coming on collins [Music] i wonder if the beatrice martin his hand didn't go across and freddie scott lost that one in the lights or something michigan state big stop here they can force a punt get the ball back trailing by two touchdowns but they go right back to freddie scott and this one he holds on to to the 29 [Applause] [Music] yeah you have to give the credit again to the quarterback putting that ball on the line right out the money and you know he lowered at that time the last one was a little high it really just touched the top of the three this one hit the middle you know collins has as well and here's mill the pullback their pass defense is good or their rush defenses no good to johnny carter he draws the crowd and he still got inside the 20. i think he might get a first down penn state's knowing what to do with it when they got inside the 20 today at the 19 first down carter all the way to the 1. calendar the heisman trophy if not stealing as an undefeated leader of this football team right now you know i love to try to draw comparisons against guys who used to run and the way he runs and you know when i watch him running let's see if they give kajana a chance for his fourth touchdown over there [Music] he's in touchdown somehow fell over think his defense for letting michigan state stay in the game so he could carry the ball john whitman number 38 seals off a pretty nice block he's been doing it all game and kajana carter finds his way into the end zone 24 roses are indeed red this one is starting to smell like it's going to be a penn state victory for joe paterno conway's king taken by [Music] [Applause] second big tackle by crater on special teams today when you're hot you're hot i'll tell you i can see the air going [Music] the only thing that's been shining more than his head is his performance today and now the defense starting to get in the axe vin stewart who's been out with an injury can come up to stop this crew second and 11. go over nope back to the line of scrimmage lucky jason collins here they come he got away from one and lets it go he's got mason out there and a flag down charlie pittman i think had some illegal contact with mason downfield past interference on the defense first down spartans off-play action on first down as banks who comes up firing oh nice pass and he can throw the ball yup got that one out to behind we don't cause any [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] you see him dodged to his right first he went to his left then his back to his right and as he tries to come up inside you see the ball ripped through close to having his knee down on that play but paul didn't turn over in a and it gives it back to the penn state offense at the 44-yard line colin's off play action he wants a home run ball going long man out there [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] the sixth time this year on the first play following an opponent turnover that penn state has scored a touchdown [Music] 12 28 left in the game the top scoring team in the country has put 52 a couple of moments ago carrie collins hooks up with freddie scott 56 yards and a touchdown and kajana carter innovates his vote for number one i think the penn state guys are remembering that they dropped once in the poll when they didn't have a great win by a lot of points did the same happen in nebraska yesterday well they're we're getting lobbied by the fans in front of us i can tell you that right now no doubt about that [Music] [Applause] just a streak right to the outside but don't see if you could tell that he accelerates to the ball watch how he runs right through it catches it with his arms outstretched and just goes into the end zone that's as nice as you can throw a ball but you have that type of four four four three five speed and be able to catch like that two wide receivers like i don't think you've seen in college football in a while with a tight end to match penn state has shattered their own school record and the big ten single season record for scoring and 52 points up on the board today has to work from its own 13-yard line scott green boy he's done his job today 47 goes on draw play to green he's got the first across the 25. first down [Music] and he rambles out right some of the great offenses that they put together but this is way more explosive team but see they give up the yards as you see there after being tied today in that great florida state comeback on second and 17 banks going up on top derrick mason made the catch that was a big time catch there he's had a big time 300-yard kickoff return for a touchdown oh they tried that naked bootleg thing again and this time nothing doing jeff perry was there caught her to the top of your screen here comes a blitz from willie smith banks got away from it to the end zone touchdown [Applause] willie smith has his shot three times in the game and curtain crawl for some of the big guys pounds going out england going out wally richardson coming in carrie collins day and home and regular season here at happy valley is apparently over mill and he's hit immediately so it's going to bring up third three by far and then kajana carter is that a four touchdown here's the heir apparent wally richie said he comes up fire into ingram bobby ingram might end up with a 200-yard day eighth catch and as far as the running backs we talked about kajana carter that was 18 touchdowns coming into today 22 now and rashad salaam sitting out there in boulder going i don't think anybody cuts my 20 by 2055. well they got five minutes left you know you never know well an average is dipped to 7.3 now for kajana after being stopped for no gain the last time he carried it he'll try to handle the toss here goes that average back up [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] hard to beat [Music] this time waits for his blockers takes it 50 yards for the score with 4 44 left penn state in command 10 game we should get our big 10 players a year in here shouldn't we well let's start with freshman of the year i don't think there's any doubt alex smith leading rusher lineman of the year corey stringer we saw him didn't we brad dominates football games unsung hero chris darkens minnesota who would have been the big ten rushing leader except for what kajana carter did today defensive player of the year no doubt about that kajana carter is the guy defensively dana howard big ten all-time career tackle record coach of the year joe fox who's gonna be 11-0 the mvp gary collins penn state he's the guy who put it all together here he had a great year [Music] he's got an 18-wheeler and he knows how to steer it that's for sure [Applause] the closest any opponent has stayed with penn state in this stadium this year was 24 points that was usc [Music] [Applause] [Music] renaud but the great matchup that no one's going to get to see this year would be the nebraska defense against the penn state offense [Music] boy you don't think i don't think you know if they are it's probably warmed up just a bit of shots they'll be out here running at six in the morning if they dump that on it banks loads it airs it nigeya caught her the incented receiver that's the punch oh he almost had it blocked and the kick went straight up in the air and then it takes a penn state bounce has the gap closed a little bit on rashad salah well it certainly closed some 23 touchdowns 24 for salah mom gets a smooch what a day was the nickname that fit and now the roses will smell sweet because they're going to pasadena with a perfect record and maybe they are loading up for joe come on the seniors are going to have to do it they know they don't have to come back that's right archie wow flags down as he spins his way inside the 15. it is a holding on the nittany lion [Music] he kind of feels it right here he knows it's coming from behind this is like pro wrestling oh that one even had the waterproof jacket oh boy that was weak guys especially for a linebacker that day [Music] might be the final play of the game 29 of them under joe paterno they will end their regular season unblemished unbeaten untied and for the seventh time unbeaten and untied under joebot it's over and it's over for coach fergus two good friends joe paterno says i'm gonna miss george burles in the big ten he said michigan state will miss him too because he'll be much harder to replace than they can possibly imagine for joe paterno a perfect 11-0 and heading to pasadena the final from state college for gary danielson adrian carson and our entire espn crew i'm brad nessler saying so long for the final score penn state 59 michigan state 31 now here's mike tarico number one baby number one
