Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 4755831, member: 289"] I got out the 1988 SU Yearbook, (as they were called then). We scored on the first play from scrimmage on the famous Don McPherson to Rob Moore 80 yard bomb. Tim Velsing kicked the PAT and also 37 and 35 yard field goals later in the quarter to give us a 13-0 lead. The route really was one when Tommy Kane reached behind himself in mid-air to steal the ball from State D-back and catch a 29 yard TD pass from McPherson 4:23 into the second quarter. The crowd noise, already ignited by the Moore catch, rose to unprecedented levels and was clearly impacting both teams. SU scored again with 38 seconds left in the half. on a perfectly run option by Donny, who walked into the end zone, already celebrating as he got there. It was 27-0 at the half. Donny hit Tommy with a 27 yard TD 6:02 into the third and then ran 20 yards for another score two minutes and 42 seconds later. With the score 41-0 and just 21:16 left in the game, Coach Mac decided to send in the reserves - against Penn State. Big mistake. Gary Brown rean 80 yards to break up the shut out with 9:03 gone in the third quarter. Tackle Rich Schonewolf blocked a punt, scooped it up and ran 20 yards for another score 5:45 into the fourth to make it 41-14. Reserve QB Tom Bolt hit Ray Roundtree with a 59 yard scoring pass two minutes and 2 seconds left. Penn State was going to make the greatest comeback of all time and beat us for the 17th time in a row. Coach Mac sent his starters back in and they pounded down the field with time-consuming drive finished off with one yard run from Michael Owens to make the final score SU 48 Penn State 21 with only 9 seconds to go in the game. We ran for 174 yards and passed for 341 for a total of 515 yards and 23 first downs. Donnie Mac had 375 yards total offense and accounted for 5 touchdowns, Penn State 273 yards, 11 first downs and 2 offensive scores on two plays totaling 139 of those yards. [/QUOTE]
