Ten Years Later: Remembering an Epic Night in Beaver Stadium

Few environments will ever compare to the one inside Beaver Stadium on Oct. 8, 2005 when the unbeaten and 16th-ranked Nittany Lions battled the sixth-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes in a primetime tilt of Big Ten heavyweights.

Having knocked off Northwestern in dramatic fashion two weeks prior, the Nittany Lions entered the Ohio State game on the heels of a 44-14 rout of Minnesota. The Buckeyes came in with one blemish on their record following a narrow 25-22 setback to eventual national champion Texas.

ESPN College Gameday set the stage outside of Beaver Stadium on what proved to be a special Saturday in Happy Valley.
