When Christian Hackenberg went down with a shoulder injury in the 2015 TaxSlayer Bowl against Georgia, Penn State fans and the college football world got a glimpse of a small six-foot quarterback from Virginia named Trace McSorley.
When McSorley entered the game against the Bulldogs, the Nittany Lions offense was struggling and the team was down 17-3 after halftime and 24-3 after three quarters of play. But in the fourth quarter, Penn State showed life and it was being lead by McSorley.
McSorley in that fourth quarter threw for two touchdowns passes to pull the Nittany Lions within a touchdown and a shot to tie the game in the final second.
