- To culminate the inaugural Big Ten season in Penn State football history, the Nittany Lions capped the fine 1993 season with a decisive victory over a good SEC team in the Citrus Bowl. The Lions got off to a slow start falling behind 10-0 on the scoreboard early, as for whatever reason, they were the heavy underdogs heading into the bowl game. Rising quarterback Kerry Collins found traction by targeting his best receiver Bobby Engram often. And if it weren't for Collins being just missing on a few bombs, this score could have been even more lopsided than the 31-13 final in the Lion's favor. After the first quarter, Tennessee started dropping passes which was almost reminiscent of the 1987 Fiesta Bowl against Miami. The Vols' quarterback was Heath Shuler, who finished 2nd in the Heisman voting in 1993. With the defense stepping up, and the offense keeping up the pressure with good field position, Penn State proved its value once again in a Joe Paterno coached post-season bowl game.
Penn State's Top Performers:
Kerry Collins: 15-24, 162 yards, 2 TD, Int.
Bobby Engram: 7 receptions, 109 yards, TD .. 35 rushing yards
Ki-Jana Carter: 76 rushing yards, 2 TDs
Penn State finished 1993 with a 10-2 record and an 8th place ranking in the final AP Poll. The Lions also finished 3rd in the Big Ten standings. Tennessee, however, had a 9-2-1 record in the SEC and ended up ranked 12th nationally by season's end.

Just a preview for the 94 offense and what an offense it became!!!
Just another game against Tennessee that looked hopeless, until it wasn’t.
For the life of me I have no idea what NFL scouts saw in Heath Shuler.
Man those Paterno Penn State teams were far more competitive against other ranked opponents than James Franklin. Joe Pa had that killer instinct which translated well to his team !!
Someone pointed this out somewhere on the interwebs, is whenever it is Rainy/overcast weather in a bowl game Penn St is playing they most likely win the game.
LOVE GARNER!!!
Garner was amazing. He, like everyone else, would have had a much better game had the field not been awful.
Just look at how many post season games PSU had to play with a wet sloppy field!to start the game. Shame on the ground crew at all these venues. Field condition should not determine a game especially if it is preventable, even if both teams have to deal with it. The NCAA should have demanded better. But of course they didn’t/don’t.
Was at this game! Didn’t think much of PSU’s chances heading into it and it didn’t look good early on, but man did PSU turn it on right before halftime.
Why the hell wasn't the field covered before it rained ?
Imagine what an offense can do with a FB.....aahhh.
