Amazing the way this team banded together and bounced back after getting blown out and having the ghastly Taliaferro injury. Crazy to think we faced one of the best QBs to ever pick up a football 3 times and he never beat us. This game was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise lousy season.
I remember that in the closing minutes of this game, the Pennsylvania Lottery took the screen and put the game at about 30% of its normal size on a 480i TV. It was impossible to see either presentation. Those were the days.
2000 was a very odd season for Purdue. They finished in a 3 team tie for first in the Big10 and got the Rose Bowl bid because the defeated the teams they were tied with in Michigan and Northwestern. They also won games against Ohio State and Wisconsin, the 2 teams directly below them. Their only losses in conference game against Penn State (5-7) and Michigan State (5-6) who were both in the middle of some down times. Purdue finished in the top 25 in four consecutive seasons from 1997-2000 after having a losing record in the 12 years before that streak. It was their first Rose Bowl since 1966 and remains their most recent trip to Pasadena for New Year’s Day. You might never see Purdue and Northwestern tied at the top of the Big10 at the end of the season again. Even with the conference split into two divisions.
Paterno teams always played this type of offensive team well. Why PSU went undefeated against Drew Brees. Similar success against Ty Detmer when BYU was beating other teams like Miami, and Doug Flutie the decade before that when BC was a top 10 team, and still lost to an unranked PSU in one of the down years between national championships.
Good for you, LBU. We don't have to take any crap from any idiots in the court of public opinion. We know who we are and what we really stand for, and all the negative crap people try to say about us is unfair and untrue. Stand your ground for the Blue and White!
Was there in person & wearing my #43 jersey for Adam T. PSU played amazing & it was the most exciting game I've ever been to.
I was there in the Purdue section, my senior year. I told a lippy Purdue fan to sit down…”you’re in my house”
Perfect song for football season
Legit mash-up: when this recap video hits exactly 2:13...

Mike Cerimele is now a lifting coach for the EHS football team. He still is huge and a great guy.

Did Curtis Ennis play for PSU at around this time?

I remember this game I was 12
I was 10--exciting game to watch at the time
Have to admit, Drew Sneeze sucked the tamale when it came to playing The Blue and White. My story.
Derek Wake!!
2000 Penn State vs. Purdue (10 Minutes or Less) aka The Derek Wake Show.
that was a pretty good game.
Is that Lord Voldemort at 7:03 :-(
lol
Typical Purdue special teams.
Sloppy special team play would wind up costing Purdue the Rose Bowl win vs Washington in Jan 2001
Eddie Drummond wasn't talented? Stewart wasn't talented? McCoo wasn't talented? Epic bass-akwards fail again!
