We have beat Arizona State, USC, Tennessee, Miami, Texas, Ohio State, and Washington in the Fiesta Bowl. Penn State is one of the primary reasons why the bowl is so big today. And we have never lost there.
I’ve got a funny story. My dad was a prof at PSU and I grew up watching PSU football, and got used to them winning bowl games - I sort of invariably just forgot who the various victims were over the years. Many years after this game I met my wife’s uncle in LA, who was a big USC fan. When I told him I went to Penn State he gave me this funny look and told me he’d have to forgive me for the treatment PSU gave Marcus Allen in the ‘82 Fiesta Bowl. “Oh, is that who we played?” was my response. Dude hates my guts to this day LOL
No mention of Oklahoma thrashing y'alls asses in the Sugar Bowl when Cappeletti was PSU's Heisman winner, or Oklahoma thrashing y'all in the Orange Bowl for the natty!!!!
Nor did I mention that Cappelletti did not play in the game, nor that the Sooners cheated and were forced to forfeit the game and that Penn State refused to accept the victory. No shame here... we lost a few.
@Dale Herman Yeah, we were no match for Oklahoma. That’s why they beat Miami in the national championship game in ‘87 by way more points than we did in ‘86. Oh wait, what’s this? OU didn’t beat Miami? They lost and choked away their perfect season? Gee, that’s too bad. I’m sure glad Penn State didn’t lose their perfect season and the national championship against Miami in the Orange Bowl.
If you think back......Penn State was at Large Team......a finished Undefeated at least 7 times. They Beat Alabama, and USC.. still never got the respect because of their loss to Oklahoma......and they beat Miami at the height of Jimmy Johnson. Nittany Lions Tougher than the Rest...and phuked over by the Pundits
Like I always say, when "Heisman hopeful", Heisman winner, playing against our defense might as well be a target on their back. We crushed Allen; 85 yards in 30-odd carries, and a year later, we'd do the same treatment on Herschel Walker.
Those were the really good days. I don’t know what it’s going to take to get back to this again given that we have about 6 to 8 top level players versus the 15 the mega teams have including that one six win team in our conference. Also that you get two years on the field and they’re gone now. Makes it even harder for teams that only get a few top level players. It used to be you stayed all four years
SC had the weapons but it wasn't to be I rey seeing this game & my dad was not a happy camper I was 14 years old fight on 🏈✌️✌️✌️ Penn State were an awesome team 💯
I hear you. I believe he was a victim of his own trusting, but naive, nature. Regardless, he helped enable a monster, and will forever be tainted. It makes me so sad for the victims, for the town, and for Joe’s legacy
Björn Björk I’m sorry but Joe was the guy in charge, and he’s gotta take the fall here. He was out of touch with the reality of what was going on on his watch. Believe me it’s very very hard for me to deal with this as I love Penn State and Joe Paterno. Even through this, I still love Joe, but I feel he really dropped the ball. I respect your opinion, and wish I could share your assessment of the facts, but I’m sorry I don’t.
The announcers comments were so off on some plays there narrative was so bias and protective to whom (players) they desired to protect a bad play performance is just that do they think what fans see wasn't what they saw until I got older and forgot about more football than they'll ever really know funny no social media like today only silent films with teams maybe if someone taped it at home but really some things they said live was ridiculous I'm in tears now that I watched it many many many years later wow if we had it like today are whole team would've been band from use lol #6 TW 78-82

It seems, over the years, that the Fiesta Bowl has become a home game for Penn State.
We have beat Arizona State, USC, Tennessee, Miami, Texas, Ohio State, and Washington in the Fiesta Bowl. Penn State is one of the primary reasons why the bowl is so big today.
And we have never lost there.

@@josephvanhorn5347 Just Count Natty's that should settle it
@@brianfergus839 HOW did they cheat?
I'm only 4 minutes in and former PA state champ wrestler Leo Wisniewski already has at leas 3 TFLs. Dadgum! Thanks for posting.
this was such an important game, it was first year that NBC moved the Fiesta Bowl to New Years' Day and made it a major bowl game
One of my 1st PSU games I watched. They really shut down Allen, then did the same to Walker the next year.
Herschel did get 102 yards.
The fiesta bowl was always my favorite next to the Rose bowl 💯💯💯
PSU was the best team in the country at the end of this season and it carried over to the MNC the next year.
To Future Houston oiler Hall of Fame offensive lineman and Bruce Matthews and Mike munchak on opposing teams wow
The Fiesta Bowl. They built it. We Own it. 7-0. And. A Natty. WE ARE!
If it wasn't for that pick 6 PSU would have blasted them 26-3
should of been 32-3
You think the football team blasted them harder than Sandusky blasted those boys?
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 You could visit Jerry and ask him yourself

1 steel long time no see can I get 1977 fiesta bowl
How many guys on SC's offensive line ended up being solid pros? Wow
When college football ruled no Portal no nil $$$$ when players had loyalty to football and there fans are schools
Like I always say, when "Heisman hopeful", Heisman winner, playing against our defense might as well be a target on their back. We crushed Allen; 85 yards in 30-odd carries, and a year later, we'd do the same treatment on Herschel Walker.
Captain Galaxy and then Vinny as well
What a D - superb in this game. PSU owned the line in both directions
Those were the really good days. I don’t know what it’s going to take to get back to this again given that we have about 6 to 8 top level players versus the 15 the mega teams have including that one six win team in our conference.

Add Vinny to it in 86!
Not nearly as rough as the treatment Sandusky had for those boys...
USC's offensive line was ruthless
No Penn State's Defense was ruthless.
A lot of future NFL starters on that line..
How many times was the USC quarterback sacked in this game?
SC had the weapons but it wasn't to be I rey seeing this game & my dad was not a happy camper I was 14 years old fight on 🏈✌️✌️✌️ Penn State were an awesome team 💯
Steelbuck 6 its me again can you get the 1975 fiesta bowl, Arizona state vs Nebraska
A lot of points left on the table by Penn state
Do you have the 1982 game between USC and Oregon Ducks? Or, do you know where I might find it? Thank you!
No everything I had of 82 USC is up.
@@steelbuck6777 ok, thank you.
13:37 Gregg Garrity for the TD
Oh, Joe Pa, what did you do to yourself and to the program? I was once a great admirer of his. Such a shock what later transpired.
I hear you. I believe he was a victim of his own trusting, but naive, nature. Regardless, he helped enable a monster, and will forever be tainted. It makes me so sad for the victims, for the town, and for Joe’s legacy
Björn Björk he ignored the warnings
Björn Björk I’m sorry but Joe was the guy in charge, and he’s gotta take the fall here. He was out of touch with the reality of what was going on on his watch.

@Björn Björk Exactly! Thank You!
Paterno and Sandusky were peas in a pod. Paterno knew. Sandusky blew.
Still pissed off #6 TW 78-82 lost to some NJ HS Rivals lol
Turf really sucked for a bowl game.
Not a good day for USC 😞 fight on 🏈✌️✌️

31:14 beware the paffenroth
Paternos teams could beat top 10 foes..not with the new regime.
Fiesta Bowl was a good game for Penn State in the 80s
The Fiesta Bowl. They built it. We Own it. 7-0. And. A Natty. WE ARE!
