Vacated Win #56 January 3, 2006 26-23 over Florida State It took three overtimes in the Fedex Orange Bowl, but Penn State finally won on Kevin Kellys third attempt to end the game with a field goal. Coach of the Year, Joe Paterno, joked after the 5-hour game that it is past my bedtime. Meeting for just the third time in their storied histories, Penn State defeated Florida State 26-23 in front of 77,773 at Dolphins Stadium and Paterno raised his head-to-head record against Bobby Bowden to 7-1. Kellys game-winning attempt at the end of regulation sailed wide left, but he had another chance to win the game on Penn States first overtime possession when the Nittany Lion defense held. Kellys second game-winning try also went left, forcing a second overtime period. I was upset after the first miss but upbeat after the second, said Kelly after the game. I figured what are the odds of missing a third try? With the win, the Lions finished the season ranked #3 in the country, the 13th top five finish under Coach Paterno. The NCAA says this game never happened. youtube/watch?v=fBTZunp8HBw&sns=em
