There’s another rivalry, however, that many students have never seen in their lifetimes: the Penn State series. The series hasn’t had a game since 1990, when Joe Paterno’s Nittany Lions beat Gene Stallings’ Tide 9-3. “It’s a game that I’ve had circled on my calendar for the past four or five years,” said senior quarterback Greg McElroy. “It’s a game you tell recruits about and it’s a game that I was aware of when I first got on cam- pus. It’s obviously one of those games; it’s kind of a showcase game. We always kept saying, ‘I hope Coach Paterno’s still coaching. It would be great to compete against him.’” Penn State does know how to win, espe- cially in Tuscaloosa, where they have a 2-1 edge over the Tide. Despite the Nittany Lions’ better record at Bryant-Denny Stadium, Alabama leads the overall series 8-5. Although both teams’ players haven’t been See PENN STATE, page 9 Bryant Museum Right: Members of the Alabama defense, including Murray Legg (19), Curtis McGriff (96), Barry Krauss (77) and Rich Wingo (36), held Penn State in the famous goal line stand in the 1979 Sugar Bowl, giving head coach Paul "Bear" Bryant his sixth national championship with the 14-7 win.
