Penn State coach
Joe Paterno got his record 24th bowl win and handed
Les Miles his first loss in five bowls as LSU coach. A driving
rainstorm turned the field into a mud bowl. Bad footing and dropped passes were normal in the first half, and PSU fumbled the snap exchange twice though both were recovered by the offense.
Quarterback Daryll Clark finished the game with 216 yards passing and one
touchdown pass. LSU signal caller
Jordan Jefferson threw for 202 yards 1 TD and 1 Interception, however the Tigers were held to just 41 total yards rushing. Collin Wagner's 21-yard field goal with 57 seconds left sealed the victory for the Nittany Lions. It was Joe Paterno's 24th career bowl victory, extending his own
NCAA record. It had been the fourth win for Penn State in their last five bowl games. ==Scoring summary==
