Penn State declaws Panthers in 31-0 romp

PITTSBURGH - For the Pitt Pan
thers, the game represented one last
chance to gain some respect. If they
could have upset the football team for
the second time in as many seasons, a
bowl bid might have been waiting. A
win also would have given the critics
who want to fire Head Coach Foge
Fazio something to think about.
Visiting Penn State, however, had
respect and much more on the line
Saturday evening at Pitt Stadium.

Orange Bowl bid to meet Oklahoma

Lions' season silences critics
By CHRIS LINDSLEY
Collegian Sports Writer
After losing to Pitt 31-11 to end last
season with a mediocre 6-5 record, it
was time for Joe Paterno to do some
soul searching.
What had gone wrong in season
ending beatings by Notre Dame (44-
7) and Pitt? Paterno’s teams had
always gotten better as the season
progressed, not worse.
After the Pitt debacle he called his
players a “bunch of babies,” saying
there was one person to blame for
that, and that was himself.
“I didn’t do a good job for my
football team last year coming down
the stretch,” Paterno said, “and I
didn’t do a good job for my coaching
staff. I didn’t give them a chance to
coach. . . I did chew out my kids last
year, but in my mind it was me it
wasn’t the kids.” Whoever it was, it
was Paterno’s worst record since his
first team went 5-5 in 1966, and for the
first time many questioned whether
Paterno might be losing his touch
after 19 years at the helm.
And with the 1985 Lions opening up
at Maryland, ranked by some as high
as No. 1 in pre-season polls, many
questions could be answered if Penn
State opened up 1-0.
its second national championship in
four years.
Early in the contest it appeared
that the Panthers were going to spoil
the Lions’ holiday plans. Despite
holding a 7-0 lead midway through the
second quarter, the team was having
problems with the Pitt defense.
Suddenly, almost shockingly to the
60,134 spectators who jammed Pitt
Stadium, the Lions scored two touch
downs in a span of 19 seconds and
then cruised to a 31-0 victory.
The victory secured the 11-0 Lions’
fifth undefeated, untied regular sea
son since Joe Paterno became the
head coach in 1966. More importantly
to the players, it meant Penn State
will be playing for its second national
title in four years when it faces the
No. 5 Sooners (a 27-7 winner over
WHBh .

'**e*agfpl§
The Lions did score a come-from
behind 20-18 triumph at Maryland,
and the rest, as they say, is history.
Of any of Paterno’s past squads,
this one is perhaps most representa
tive of the former Brown quar
terback, who has the best winning
percentage of any coach with 12 or
more years experience.
Paterno has long advocated that
kicking and defense win games and in
those areas Penn State has been close
to perfect.
Placekicker Massimo Manca has
hit on 21 of 26 field goal attempts, and
his roommate and punter John Bruno
has been the model of consistency all
season, averaging 42.9 yards per
punt.
And while the offense has struggled
throughout the season, the defense
has been the major force in the Lions’
11-0 record and No. 1 ranking.
Repeatedly the defensive 11 has
stopped the opposition with the game
on the line, and has caused 36 oppo
nent turnovers, while the Pennn State
offense has turned the ball over just
20 times, for a +l6 takeaway margin
on the season, compared to a -6 last
season.
“Our defense is a year older, those
kids all played a tough schedule last
year,” Paterno said. “I think you
Joe Paterno
No. 2 Nebraska Saturday), on New
Year’s Night in Miami.
The Panthers dominated the
scoreless first quarter, holding the
ball nearly four minutes longer than
the Lions and limiting Penn State’s
offense to 26 yards in 16 plays.
“They stuck a couple of blitzes in
there with their linebackers that real
ly gave us trouble with the pass,”
Paterno said of Pitt’s first-quarter
defense. “We had gone into the foot
ball game wanting to try and throw
the ball early, to try and get (Pitt’s
defense) loosened up.
“We weren’t getting any pass pro
tection, so we just had to put our ears
back and go ... we made up our
minds that we were going to have to
run on them.”
And it was a seven-yard run by

have to give them credit... I think
that we’ve had good kids we’ve
challenged them. They’ve got a lot of
character. They wanted to be good,
and they’ve been mature.”
Mature may be an understatement.
In their last five games, the first
team defense has given up but one
touchdown, a 54-yard run by Boston
College’s Ken Bell, while shutting out
West Virginia and Pitt in the process.
But for Paterno, who completed his
fifth unbeaten regular season as Li
ons’ mentor in style by trouncing
arch-rival Pitt 31-0 in Pittsburgh, he
didn’t expect such a big turnaround
so soon.
“We’ve always talked national
champions,” Paterno said. “I tried to
tell some people a year ago, in the
middle of the year, that we are al
ways trying to build a club that will
be a national championship contend
er every two or three years ... I
think we are a little bit ahead of
where I thought we would be since
there’s only six or seven kids on the
squad that don’t have another year of
eligibility if they want it.”
After last season, however, nation
al championships were the furthest
things from Penn State supporters’
minds. For the first time since 1970
the Lions weren’t going to a bowl
game, and Paterno was the first to
admit that that squad had a lot of
work ahead if it was to be a compet
itive football team.
But for offensive guard Todd
Moules, a member of Penn State’s
only national championship team, he
knew the talent was there.
“I thought about it this summer,”
Moules said. “I thought this team had
a lot of potential as hard as it was
working, and the togetherness that
we had on this team, and so far it’s
really worked out for us.”
For quarterback John Shaffer,
once the 1985 Lions took the field he
felt there was no limit to how far they
could go.
“It kind of slapped us in the face
that first game when we realized how
good we were,” Shaffer said, “and we
felt that if we could continue to play
the games and work hard, we’d have
every confidence that when Saturday
came along, we’d win the football
game.”
That confidence has been demon
strated seemingly game after game,
as Penn State has come from behind
six times this year to pull out victo
ries, and when things need to get
done, no one has done a better job
than Shaffer.
Shaffer hasn’t lost a game he’s
started since seventh grade, and he’s

tailback D.J. Dozier that got the
Lions on the scoreboard at 13:46 of
the second quarter. However, the
Lions still appeared lethargic as the
six-minute mark approached.
Then it happened.
On a third and six from the Penn
State 40, fullback Tim Manoa took the
handoff on a draw play and quickly
broke through the Panther line. Ma
noa cut down the left sideline and left
the Panthers staring in disbelief as he
outraced cornerbacks John Lewis
and Teryl Austin for a 60-yard touch
down.
“I came through the hole and I saw
the big hole and my eyes just opened
up,” Manoa said. “I said ‘l’ve got to
do it.’ I saw the guy coming from the
side and I thought he was going to
catch me. I went for it and I got it.”
The ensuing kickoff was returned to
the Panther 28, but a clipping penalty
brought the ball back to the 14. On the
next play, Pitt quarterback John Con
gemi was hit by the Lions’ Don Gra
ham as he backpedaled into the Penn
State end zone. Congemi fumbled the
ball and inside linebacker Pete Gifto
poulous recovered for the score.
“It felt good,” the 6-2, 243-pound
native of Hamilton, Ontario said of
his touchdown. “I haven’t had one
since high school.”
The quick scoring spree was com
pleted when Massimo Manca con
verted his 27th extra point attempt of
the season. The Lions’ 14 points in 19
seconds ended the game for all in
tents and purposes, but the Panthers
had a final gasp as the half drew to a
close.
Pitt regained the ball and drove
from its own 45 to the Lion seven with
four seconds left. Gongemi’s pass to
Chucky Scales was incomplete in the
back of the end zone, but it was ruled
that Duffy Cobbs interfered on the
play as time expired.
The Panthers had one last chance
on an untimed down from the Lion
two. Fullback Darnell Stone took the
handoff and, for a brief moment, had
a massive hole through the middle of
the line and appeared headed for the
touchdown that could revive Pitt.
However, as Stone lunged for the
end zone, he was met by linebacker
Rogers Alexander, who seemed to
materialize out of nowhere. Alexan
der drove Stone back and then Ray
Pitt’s John Lewis (4) vents his frustrations on teammate Darrel Woods late in Saturday night’s game. The 31-0 Penn State
victory ended the Panthers’ season at 5-5-1 and left them once again wondering what went wrong.
Pitt players confused after loss
By CHRIS RAYMOND
Collegian Sports Writer
.PITTSBURGH - When Pittsburgh
left the fteld for the locker room
Saturday after a 31-0 loss to No. 1
Penn State, the overriding emotion
among the players was not one of
frustration, but confusion.
For as the Panthers quietly shed
their uniforms and returned to civil
ian, dress, they had time to reflect on
their season and a number of ques
tions for which they had no answers
questions concerning the tenure of
Head Coach Foge Fazio (25-18-3),
questions concerning their 5-5-1 finish
and questions concerning the game
they had just lost.
Less than four hours earlier, the
Panthers had entered the contest
with high hopes for an upset and an
opportunity to recapture a little re
spect, but true to the pattern they had
followed all season, they quickly shat
tered those hopes with careless mis
takes.
“We just played very, very sloppy
and Penn State took every advantage
they could,” Fazio said afterwards.
“We just made too many dog-gone
mistakes too many penalties, inter
ceptions, fumbles we just couldn’t
put anything together.”
The Pitt defense controlled the
pace of the game for the first 15
Bob White (34) pressures Pitt quarterback John Congemi in Saturday night’s
game at Pitt Stadium. White and the rest of the Penn State defense held the
Panthers scoreless to chalk up the Lions’ second shutout in their last five
games.
Isom applied the finishing touches,
dropping the senior a yard short.
“They had an unbalanced line
strong and that was the first time
they’d done that the whole second
quarter,” Alexander said “He tried to
cut back and I guess he thought we’d
be overplaying a whole bunch. I just
happened to be stepping in the hole. I
was kind of playing the cutback,
because I knew I couldn’t get all the
way over to the other side.
Penn State’s defense held the Pan
thers to 114 yards in the second half
while intercepting three passes and
recovering its second fumble of the
game.
Offensively, the Lions added two
more scores in the fourth quarter, the
first a three-yard scoring run by
minutes of play, sacking Lion quar
terback John Shaffer three tirries to
set the Lions back a total 26 yards and
give the Panther offense excellent
field position. However, the offense
could muster no more than three first
downs in the first quarter.
“We had great field position in the
first quarter and we just stopped
ourselves,” Fazio said. “You don’t
get the ball in that kind of field
position against Penn State and not
take advantage of it and we just
didn’t do that.”
In fact, the Panthers’ strongest
scoring threat didn’t surface until
time had already expired in the sec
ond quarter. Moments after Lion
cornerback Duffy Cobbs was called
for interference in the endzone, Pitt
fullback Darnell Stone took a handoff
on second and goal from the two-yard
line and raced toward a gaping hole
in the Penn State line. The 6-1, 215-
pound senior was stopped dead in his
tracks one yard later when inside
linebacker Rogers Alexander ap
peared out of nowhere to smother the

Manoa, which finished a nine-play,
63-yard drive. Manca’s 40-yard field
goal, with 8:59 left, finished out the
scoring.
Tri-captain Todd Moules expected
the Lions to have a strong season
after last year’s uncharacteristic 6-5
finish, but he never thought the Lions
would go undefeated before the sea
son began.
“Right from the preseason we
knew that we had a lot of potential,”
Moules said. “We started yellling 5-0
after the Alabama game and 6-0 after
the Syracuse game. I think that’s
when people started thinking ‘Hey
let’s go for it, we can be undefeated
and play for the national
championship.’ ”
And now they have their chance.
season, quarterback John Congemi
said.
“We took the ball and stuffed it
down the field and didn’t get any
points out of it,” Congemi said.
“There’s not many teams in the na
tion that take six-, seven-, eight-min
ute drives and don’t get any points out
of them.
“ (This season) it was always some
thing a penalty, a dropped pass, a
mistake on the line, a mistake I made
or a mistake someone else made
that prevented us from putting the
ball in the endzone. If we could have
just put our finger on that, we could
have pushed our record up.”
While keeping the Panthers off the
scoreboard, the poor play of the Pitt
attack contributed to the Lions’ offen
sive production. Penn State con
verted two of five Panther turnovers
into 10 points when inside linebacker
Pete Giftopoulos recovered a Con
gemi fumble in the endzone for a
touchdown and kicker Massimo Man
ca booted a 39-yard field goal after a
30-yard interception return by Lance
Hamilton.
The Pitt defense, ranked fourth in
the nation against the rush, experi
enced problems similar to those of
the offense as Penn State running
backs carried for 223 yards on the
day, well above the 91.3-yard average
for Panther opponents.
