Only Joe Nastasi Until Penn State Football

We’re staying in the time machine once again, but skipping forward 20-ish years to the 90’s as we honor Joe Nastasi. For those of you not quite as well-versed, Nastasi was a wide receiver who played at PSU between 1995-98 and was a key part of the rotation, with a career total of eight touchdowns and 741 yards receiving. It’s not the stat line that makes Nastasi’s name a household one for many PSU fans, but rather one particular moment in November of 1995, when he ran a fake field goal untouched into the end zone to help put a close game against Michigan on ice in the infamous “Snow Bowl” game at Beaver Stadium, as you can see in the video below.
