He never imagined he’d get to see the “little ‘ol” Oregon Ducks play in the Rose Bowl. Nowadays, the Rose Bowl probably feels like settling for less for a lot of Oregon fans lol. It’s natty or bust.

A similar team was Northwestern with Darnell Autry and Pat Fitzgerald.

If you want to know when it all started for Oregon football and the success they have today, it all started with this game. I understand Oregon lost the game but it showed talented kids all over the country that Oregon is a winning program and that they need to come to Eugene. Oregon just got better and better and better as the years went by and this game is really is the genesis of how it all got going.

I'm a FSU fan. And actually despised Penn State well before this year. That being said, they absolutely deserved a shot. That offense was sick. Keith Jackson's call on that Ki Jana Carter run will always be one of my favorite. "They had him. They thought. And then he was gone."

i forgot how good ki jana carter was

I played with Ki-Jana in Westerville OH. Pop Warner Bengals. You couldn't stop him then either. Seriously. This Penn State team was at least co-national champs this year without a doubt.

Imagine if Carter didn't shred his knee the second he got to the NFL...

The 1994 Nittany Lions are probably the last great top-level CFB team to come out of the Northeast. While Penn State has had 5 top 10 finishes since then (plus one from Boston College in 2007), none of those teams was close to being in national championship contention by the end of the season.

In My Mind Penn State Should Had The Won National Championship That Year!

I would have loved to have seen 1994 Penn State and 1994 Nebraska play each other. Both fanbases naturally think their team would've won it, but the sad truth is, there's no way to know. I'm a Penn State fan so I'm a bit biased in thinking PSU would have gotten it done, but again, there's no way to know. Some Nebraska fans have unfairly compared this team to the 1994 Colorado team and some Penn State fans have unfairly compared that Nebraska team to Ohio State or Oregon. The truth is, those were the two best teams in college football that year and it's a real shame they never got to settle it on the field and 23 years later we still talk about who would've won. At least in 1997 they got it right and split the national title between Michigan and Nebraska.

ESPN and others have said the 1994 PSU offense is arguably the best O in the history of college football. The Husker D while very good was not on that level. The average scoring drive time of that PSU offense was less that 2 minutes. This meant the D was on the field a lot. The starting O was usually sitting on the bench after a few sets into the 3rd quarter of most games and they still averaged 48 points per game. Look at strength of schedule that year, etc. The list goes on.

Funny how the whole argument in 1994 was "Tom Osborne doesnt have a title, Joe has a couple, so lets give it to Tom", but in 1997 they werent saying "Lloyd Carr doesnt have one, Tom has a couple, lets give it to Lloyd". Oh no, Nebraska got a share of that one. For anyone that says Oregon put up a fight and Penn State didnt win convincingly, Nebraska had to come back and hang on against a good, but not GREAT 10-1 Miami Hurricanes team. So that argument is BS as well. PSU deserved a share of the title...period.

Penn state was better than Nebraska this year. They averaged over seven yards a play in a conference that at the time, was much better than than Nebraskan. Nebraska squeaks by Miami and penn state beats down a very good pad team, the last touchdown was just a formality. They should have shared the way 97 Michigan shared. That said, Nebraska 95 was the best football team I have ever personally seen. Also, lol Sandusky at 7:28.

Penn State should officially claim the 1994 National championship. Other schools and programs have done it decades after the season was played. Penn state should as well. They should also claim the 1911,1912,and 1969 titles as well. That way Penn State should have as many as Ohio State. Alabama did it after Bear Bryant died in the 80s to keep more interest in Alabama and to still get big recruits. They only claimed the ones Bear Bryant won but also added a few more before Bear Bryant was there. So technically Penn State has a legal claim for those national titles as well as the 1994 title as well.

The Big Ten would not let it's champion go to another bowl other than the Rose even though it meant forfeiting a chance to win it all.

Nebraska would have gotten their asses kicked if they played Penn St. in 95', but because soooo many analyst hate the Penn St. football program, they didn't even let #1 (Nebraska) play #2 (Penn St.) for the championship.

Don't tell me what I support, don't have the arrogant presumption to speak for me.

@8:15 Jerry Sandusky made some adjustments... Joe Paterno did nothing.

As much as I hate to say this Nebraska earned that national championship. They played more ranked teams (5) compared to Penn State's (4). Nebraska played the number 2 Colorado and then in the Orange Bowl number 3 Miami. I mean this is even before the BCS or the playoff system, but back then the Big 10 would always send someone to the Rose Bowl to face the Pac 10 no matter what. So even if Penn State wanted to play in the Orange Bowl they couldn't since they won they won the Big 10. Now if that were 1986 when Penn State was independent, then yes they could have been invited to the Orange Bowl to face the #1 team. Either way Nebraska was the correct pick because the next season Nebraska just crushed everyone and destroyed #2 Florida for the national championship in the Fiesta Bowl.

PSU's SOS was 8'th. SRS 1'st. Nebraska ranked 40'th and 4'th comparatively. This narrative is just not true.

Of all the great PSU teams over the years, this one certainly had the worst defense. Good lord in heaven. If we had faced '94 Nebraska, our offense would've needed to play the perfect game, scoring points on every drive, or else they would've "clocked" us to death with their run game and never let our offense on the field.

@BassAssassin9 Research my butt. You just can't accept that under Tressel and Ferentz, Ohio State and Iowa have been some of the most competitive football programs in the country. Your "research" (read: constant worthless whining) is nothing more than old, tired crap against JoePa. The most legendary coach in college football. JoePa's coaching had nothing to do with the losses to Ohio State or Iowa. We didn't take care of business, and it falls on the players-not JoePa-to go out and win games.

Crapola! Nebraska didn't settle anything in Miami. Penn State got robbed again going undefeated and winning their bowl game.

Yes i believe so. He's a sick fuck, but was a hell of a coach when it came to winning.
