5 of the BEST Beaver Stadium Crowd Reactions - Penn State Nittany Lion Football Roars at the Beav

Penn State Nittany Lion Football's greatest moments in Beaver Stadium History. (My Top 5)

Loudest Defensive Series - Penn State VS Rutgers 2015

5) Derrick Williams Electrifies Beaver Stadium WhiteHouse crowd, going 76 yards returning a Notre Dame Punt in the 2nd quarter VS the Fighting Irish. The Nittany Lions were avenging a 41-17 loss to the Irish from a year earlier (2006) in South Bend. The all time series between Penn State and Notre Dame is tied at 9 each with 1 tie. Both schools longest winning streaks in the series have been 3 games each. The Largest margin of Victory for either team has been Notre Dame 44-7 in 1984, and Penn State 36-6 in 1985. (Funny how these two matchups which saw the largest victory on either side in the series took place in back to back seasons)

4) Penn State pressures Jamal Lord during the Nittany Lion's and Cornhuskers matchup in Beaver Stadium in 2002. After review of the play, the ball clearly slipped out of the Nebraska QB's hands, a few plays later, Jamal Lord throws an interception to RIchard Gardner, that absolutely turned Beaver Stadium inside out. The pick six gave Penn State a 26-7 lead in the 3rd quarter essentially handing the Cornhuskers the knockout punch.
3) Penn State Nebraska . 1982 was known as the best game in Beaver Stadium history (pre-whiteout era) as a game when the crowd in Happy Valley was deafening, and into the game from the start. McCloskey's catch prior to the game winning throw by Todd Blackledge has been reviewed countless times, and even as a Penn State fan I have to admit that it wasn't a catch. Regardless, those things used to come and go back in the day, and sometimes you got the call, sometimes you didn't. The win was the marque victory for the Nittany Lions in 1982 that lead to the Nittany Lions first National Title in 1982.
2) Penn State VS Ohio State 2016, where the Nittany Lions block a punt, and a Field goal in the 4th quarter of the matchup with the 2nd ranked Buckeyes. Most people will point to the fact that Penn State would have never won this game had it not been for the blocked field goal returned for a touchdown, but people forget that Penn State had actually given up a Safety, had a field goal of their own blocked in the 1st quarter, as well as a Buckeye extra point. The Penn State Field Goal block, did give the Nittany Lions the lead, however had it not been for superb defense and a blocked punt leading to a Nittany Lions field goal, the blocked kick that lead to a Nittany Lion score would have never mattered in the first place.

1) The reason why I chose the Penn State Ohio State game from 1997 as my most insane crowd reaction I can remember at Beaver Stadium is because at a young age, I remember watching this on the TV with my grandfather. We were both screaming at the TV as the Lions roared back to take the lead in the 4th quarter. You have to remember Penn State was ranked #1 preseason 1997, so when this game was played there was a lot riding it. Penn State as ranked #2 and Ohio State came into Beaver Stadium ranked #7. Up until that time, the matchup was one of the biggest ever in Beaver Stadium. Later that year, the Nittany Lions would host #4 Michigan still with their #2 ranking, with the Wolverines ranked two spots behind them at #4. The Wolverines came in and manhandled the Nittany Lions in all facets of the game winning by a final score of 34-8.
