@@joetolstoy3573 I think Penn St deserved the National championship that year as they beat #1 and undefeated Georgia in the Sugar Bowl which was a defacto home game for Georgia. SMU blew their shot by tieing Arkansas 17-17 late in the year. Beating a 2 loss Pitt squad in the Cotton Bowl who had underachieved all year wasnt going to help their cause. Thoroughly enjoy the vids, thanks for your work!👍
@@fletchf.fletch8242 Penn State lost to Bama 42-21. Wish they had a playoff back then. Would've loved to see the top 4 teams play: Georgia vs SMU and Penn St vs Nebraska, pt 2!
I remember watching this at our home in Connecticut, not knowing I’d be a grad student at SMU five years later.
if it wasn't for the missed FG in the final seconds SMU will be going for a possible national title
As a Penn State, that was alright with me!

@@StFidjnr Yes I actually watched that game last night on TH-cam. Tough break for SMU as it literally cost them the National Championship! 🏆
