The Canes haven’t played Penn State since September 1, 2001 when they beat the Nittany Lions 33-7 to open the season at Beaver Stadium in front of 109,313 people. It’s been 16 years since then but the games played between these schools have gone down as some of the best in college football history.
While the 1986 Fiesta Bowl is probably the most famous matchup, the game that I’ll never forget is when the Canes visited University Park, PA in October 1992 to take on the Lions before almost 97,000 fans, a record crowd at that point.
