But when quarterback Kevin Thompson stepped up to the line on the first play, he noticed that Hurricanes cornerback Mike Rumph had inched toward wide receiver Chafie Fields on the left side. Fields was supposed to run an out pattern. He looked at Thompson. Thompson looked back. The two seniors knew precisely what to do. Fields bolted past Rumph and Thompson, harried by a blitz, whipped the ball as hard as he could down the sideline.

That made him seem a a win is a team thing, so I don't likely choice for Penn State's final thrust, but Paterno take the blame for the loss."

Just like they drew it up, although Thompson was on Saturday: lost to Cincinnati 17-1Ron Dayne rushed for 103 yards in the first half alone. "Penn State has a good team, but we're every bit as good," said linebacker Dan Morgan, who flattened Thompson on the game's decisive play. Like Penn State's win over Pitt a week ago, this was hardly a work of art, but a team that wears vanilla uniforms probably isn't too concerned with beauty. Penn State won despite paltry output from its running game (the Nittany Lions ran for only 110 yards), uncharacteristic mental errors (the Nittany Lions committed eight penalties) and some puzzling quarterback juggling by coach Joe Paterno. Paterno started Thompson but sent in Rashard Casey after only two series. Casey fumbled the ball away on his first possession, and two possessions later Paterno sent threat as the Wolverines outlasted the sixth-ranke- d clock.
