PHI outlasts Vilisconsin
in 34-5 f shootout
By Pete Strella

Did you see Joe Patemo running to catch the referee after Penn
State’s loss to Iowa? WOW! That had to be a 4.5 40. Give that guy an
ESPY for most hilarious post-game antics. Or better yet, give him a Penn
State uniform, the ball, and point him to the end zone. Who would’ve
known that a 75 year-old guy who wobbles up and down the sideline could
probably beat me in a footrace.
After seeing JoPa’s post-game display, you could sense that the
Nittany Lions would come out strong against Wisconsin on Saturday. They
did, opening up a 28-14 lead by the third quarter. Wisconsin’s offense start
ed to heat up toward the game’s end, but Penn State held on for a 34-31 vic
tory over the Badgers. It was a huge wjn. Beginning the Big Ten season 0-
2 would have been detrimental to Penn State’s season.
Unlike past triumphs, this victory was a total team effort. This was
the defense’s best performance of the year and, although they played too
softly on Wisconsin’s last drive and allowed them a touchdown, they man
handled one of the best offensive lines in the country.
Defensive Tackle Jimmy Kennedy was the spark that the defense
needed. He recorded three sacks and three tackles for a loss, many of which
came on third downs and halted Wisconsin drives. This could be the break
out game he needed to dominate for the rest of the year.
The offense was it’s usual self, posting 436 total yards. Larry
Johnson put up 171 all-purpose yards despite missing the fourth quarter
with a mild hamstring injury. Fullback Sean McHugh scored his first touch
down of the season with a one-yard run in the third quarter.
But you can’t say enough of what Zack Mills means to this team.
He completed 21 of 37 passes for 276 yards and one interception. On a piv
otal play in the fourth quarter, it looked as though Mills was going to be
sacked by Wisconsin’s defense. But he scrambled to the sideline, avoided a
couple defenders, and completed a 12-yard pass to back-up Fullback Paul
Jefferson for a first down. Spectacular.
In the end, it was Robbie Gould’s four field goals that made the
difference. His career-long 51-yarder in the fourth quarter was a huge lift
for the Lions, who looked like they might give the game away shortly
before.
The Lion’s played well but also got some breaks. Penn State fum
bled on the 1-yard line, but fortunately the ball bounced right to Zack Mills,
who ran it in for a touchdown. Late in the game, Wisconsin’s young
receivers dropped at least three passes from Quarterback Brooks Bollinger
that should have been caught. PSU should count its blessings thqt Wide
Receiver Lee Evans was not able to play for the Badgers.
As for the previous week? If there was one thing I got from watch
ing Penn State lose to lowa 42-35,1 saw how much heart the Nittany Lions
have. They undoubtedly deserved to lose that game after three horrific
quarters of football, but their 23-point comeback in the fourth quarter
showed that this team never quits on the field. That’s a good sign.
PSU over Michigan 31-28.
