CFI: THIS DATE IN HISTORY

Nov. 12, 1994: Penn State clinches its first-ever Big Ten Conference championship with a nail-biting 35-31 comeback win over Illinois with a pair of 90-plus yard drives in the second half. The winning push, still known in University Park as “The Drive” takes up over seven minutes of time in the fourth quarter and results in the four-point triumph for 2006 Gold Medal co-recipient PSU head coach Joe Paterno.
