This is a FFSC special report:
The Penn State Nittany Lions have won the 2006 FedEx Orange Bowl over the Florida State Seminoles.
26-23 was the final. This game had it all. Missed opportunities, great defense, and a stretch in the third quarter where neither team could muster even a first down until Penn State did it with 1:14 left on a defensive penalty.
Both teams played their hearts out, with a few FSU players suffering cramps and dehydration late in the third overtime. That's right, third OT. Penn State scored first, FSU answered with 13 straight, PSU scored a TD and went up by one at the half. After a scoreless third, PSU got a safety early in the final quarter. This gave them a 3 point lead, but they turned the ball over on a fumble, and FSU went down for a tying field goal. PSU had a chance to win it, but their freshman kicker Kevin Kelly missed from 29 yards out, and we went to OT. In the first OT, both kickers missed field goals as Kelly blew another game winner. In the second OT, both teams scored TDs. And in the third, after a FSU miss, Kevin Kelly redeemed himself. To sound cliche, the third time was the charm as PSU won by the final score of 26-23. Easily the best BCS game I've seen in a long time.
And that's the Sportscenter report. Someone else post results from the Rose Bowl, because I won't be here.
