Penn State fans remember this play like it was yesterday. See the video below for the source footage of one of the most important plays this decade in the Penn State football program.

After picking up a much needed win for the program last week in Ann Arbor, Penn State takes their show back on the road with a game at heavy underdog Northwestern.
At first glance this would seem to be an easy win for the Nittany Lions. They have the better offense and by far a better defense. Throw in the fact that Northwestern's success rides the arm and legs of quarterback Mike Kafka and it would seem that Penn State should have an easy time today.
And they should.
But Penn State has a history of playing some tough games at Northwestern, although many of the games have been somewhat lopsided. It will be imperative for Penn State to get off to a good start and put the Wildcats away early if possible. If they fail to do that they may find themselves in a familiar position of needing their quarterback to make some plays late in the game.
The last time Penn State played in Ryan Field, one of the most iconic drives in program history took place late in the game. Quarterback Michael Robinson willed his team to victory, as he did all season long back in 2005.
It really was the turning page for the entire program this decade.
