STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- It was a night no one in Happy Valley will ever forget.
Some Penn State players dove on the turf and mimed making snow angels. Thousands of students rushed the field to hug and high-five the Nittany Lions players, while dozens audibly screamed “Oh my God!” to no one in particular.
The Nittany Lion mascot crowd-surfed in the middle of the field. One Penn State walk-on climbed onto the shoulders of a fan. And thousands screamed, hugged, skipped and jumped until the Nittany Lions finally retired into the locker room after a stunning 24-21 upset of No.
