Penn State honored late program great Franco Harris by wearing No. 34 jerseys while arriving at the Rose Bowl for a matchup against Utah on Monday.
Harris died overnight on Dec. 20, just days before the Steelers honored his career with the franchise by retiring his No. 32 jersey. He was 72 years old.
Before he went on to have a Hall of Fame career in the NFL, Harris attended Penn State from 1968 to ’71. He wore the No. 34 while playing for the Nittany Lions.
Prominently leading the touching tribute was Penn State coach James Franklin, who got off the bus wearing Harris’s jersey and was later seen on the field with it still on.
