Linebacker U Penn State Shane Conlan blows up the Sooners

11-0 Penn State takes on Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl. Joe Paterno's 1985 defense was rock solid, led by Conlan and Zordich. Great defensive football! This is the first half. They avoided him after halftime! WE ARE PENN STATE

and OU won the game

Oh...Thanks for letting me know 22 years after the fact. Since you are so hip on current events, do you think Darth Vader is really Luke's father? Yes, OU won the game fair and square. All due credit to your team that night. Come on, do you honestly think anyone who follows either team is unaware who won? I just want to show the young people why we are LINEBACKER U. This guy played his butt off for years and he never got the credit he deserved. WE ARE PENN STATE!

ou fan here. but more importantly a college football fan. great montage. and yes penn state has done a great job at recruiting and developing LBs... something many teams wish they could do. Penn State is the one big ten team i like to see win games. idk why, i have just liked them more than any mich, osu, or Iowa teams.

1985: Penn State dominates everyone but loses the NCG by two TDs

1986: Penn State wins the NCG, although less dominant through the season

In 2008, Penn State won most games dominantly, but lost the Rose Bowl by two touchdowns, could history repeat itself for the 2009 Nittany Lions?

its hard to tell who was who, every player looks like a linebacker on that team

[MrBillyBatts1]

2010 and PSU is in deep do-do.

@blazer79 You missed the point of the highlight video, it was to show that the Sooners weren't averaging 20 yards per carry or something. BTW the Big Ten went 4-3 in bowl games last year with the losses being close, Penn State has won four of their last five bowl games, also do you remember the reason for PSU's bad OOC schedule in 2009? Alabama backed out, and Syracuse turned out to be bad (they won 10 games when scheduled in 2002).

shane conlan went to my highschool and i graduated w his nece. they got his retired jersey in the trophy case its crazy

[blazer79]

That is true. However, it was Penn State that lost to Oklahoma. It didn't matter if they were an independent or a Big Ten team. They still lost by 15 points.

[TheCrossHairGuide]

Penn State wasn't in the Big Ten back then...

[bluedevil4354]

ya i know im made the trip over to Columbus for the game and it was a great game to watch and watching pryor fumble that ball was also great

[MVillani1985]

Zug is great, I agree. Zug managed to become the new Chuck Norris among some Penn State fans ever since he torched the OSU secondary last year. And yep, we still have Bowman. But hey, even if PSU gets shut out of the official NCG, I still want them to win the Rose Bowl. Voters won't want another 1994, so the AP voters will make it a split national championship.
