ONE ne team of dedicated players who chose to Oremain Nittany Lions, because they are committed to Penn State. One Beaver Stadium crowd showing its support of these Loyal Lions, who have been deprived of ever having a chance to play for a division or conference championship or in any bowl game -- through no fault of their own. One Nittany Nation determined to stand up for its university, which remains one of the best educational institutions in the world -- graduating students who are still the most sought after by recruiters and continue to join the band of passionate alumni who contribute immeasur- ably to American society. One Central Pennsylvania community stand- ing together and moving forward despite the tumult of the past year. All of these became One Singular Sensation Saturday and ushered in a new era for Penn State. A NEW ERA of Penn State football begins as Coach Bill O’Brien leads the team out of the tunnel through the honor Yes, the Nittany Lions lost the football game line formed by the Penn State Blue Band plus 600 student-athletes from 30 other varsity teams, 200 football lettermen to an excellent Ohio team, 24-14, on a steamy hot and 11 Penn State college deans. afternoon in Beaver Stadium.

With the outcome no longer in doubt, “We 8 Are…Penn State” chants continued to ring out through the stadium for the final three minutes of the game and beyond. Lion fans were disappointed but not defeated. With pride and perseverance they will not allow the spirit to die.
