Unforgettable

Hard-nosed and selfless, John Cappelletti was the workhorse star of one of Penn State’s greatest teams. We look back at the 1973 season that ended with a perfect record and the program’s only Heisman Trophy.

What a Trip

From our September/October 2014 issue: A sleepless night. Broken elevators. Pizza for breakfast. What better way to prepare for the toughest game of the year? Twenty years ago this fall, the Nittany Lions went to Illinois with an unblemished record and dreams of a national championship. They came home with memories of a farcical road trip and an unforgettable win.

Fan of the People

Franco Harris made one of the most famous plays in NFL history but was better known for how he connected with Penn Staters, Pittsburghers, and everyone else.

Overwhelming Force

From our May/June 2015 issue: The most dominant program in college athletics offers no scholarships and competes in a sport most Americans don’t really understand. None of which bothers the women of the nine-time national champion Penn State rugby team. They’re too busy bulldozing all comers, and having a blast along the way.

Got That Dawg In Him

Undrafted after one of the greatest careers in Nittany Lion basketball history, Lamar Stevens relied on familiar traits—hustle, toughness, and hard work—to earn an NBA roster spot. Now, he’s solidifying himself as a vital contributor on one of the best young teams in the league.
