- Cincinnati came to Beaver Stadium as an opponent that would have historically been a "cupcake" game for most Penn State teams. But given how the Nittany Lions faired in recent years, nothing was guaranteed. The Lions struggled in the first half despite owning a 14-3 advantage at halftime. The yardage was about even between the two teams, and Penn State kept turning the ball over on offense. But it wasn't until about halfway through the third quarter when quarterback Michael Robinson and the freshman receivers began to show the potential and future promise of the explosiveness this offense would come to showcase. They hit a few bombs deep down the field and pulled away from the Bearcats. Two late touchdowns by the visitors made the score look more respectable than it actually was. And the Nittany Lions seemed to be turning the ship around in terms of winning the games they were expected to win, in the way they historically have been expected to win them.
Penn State's Top Performers:
Michael Robinson: 11-17, 220 yards, 3 TDs, Int. .. 10 carries, 62 yards, TD
Paul Posluszny: 8 tackles, 2 TFLs, Sack
Deon Butler: 2 catches, 73 yards, TD
Penn State moved on to a 2-0 record while Cincinnati lost it's first game of the year to roll in at 1-1. The Bearcats ended their 2005 season with a 4-7 record as a member of the Big East conference.
This PBP guy is not watching the game half the time, lol. Called the INT a near-catch, then incomplete, then called the King TD "in and out of the hands." 🤦🏼♂
Sloppy ending…JoPa wasn’t happy.
Cincinnati needed a big muscular TE to throw to...they would get it four years later.
Lol they had Connor Barwin before Kelce. Crazy.
Brent Celek was on this team
@@lpj5001 What a crazy run they had!
The Lions were actually supposed to play at Alabama in this slot instead of UC. Alabama asked Penn State to postpone the series to 2010-11 and PSU agreed.
Davila should have been our starting QB
