Penn State at Pittsburgh 1998 GAME STORY

Penn State traveled to Pittsburgh to acquire one of its sloppiest victories in the 1990's era. In a low scoring affair, the Lions offense couldn't find an identity. But quarterback Kevin Thompson hit a couple of long balls which contributed to the only two offensive touchdowns for Penn State. Luckily, the defense brought the pressure all game and simply just beat up Pitt's quarterback. The front seven had a field day teeing off on him. The one possession victory wasn't what the Lion fans were hoping for, but a win is a win.
