Game Notes

Vinny Testaverde, #2 Nittany Lions sink #1 Hurricanes to win the National Championship with a 14-10 decision.

Favored Miami commits 7 turnovers, including 5 picks by Testaverde, the final one by Pete Giftopoulus at the goal line in the final minute seals the Hurricanes' fate. Testaverde and Miami have a season's worth of mistakes on the biggest stage, coupling the turnovers with missed opportunities.

Giftopoulus and Shane Conlin each have a pair of picks, Conlin's 2nd sets up D.J. Dozier's 6-yard TD run for the lead in the 4th quarter. The Hurricanes had gone ahead on Mark Seelig's 38-yard FG earlier in the quarter.

Dozier accounts for most of Penn State's attack, running for 99 yards as the Lions gain just 162 total yards. Alonzo Highsmith rushes for 118 yards to lead Miami.
