Penn State Football Honors Seniors at 2014 Banquet
Penn State football will bid goodbye to 17 seniors when it takes on Boston College in the Pinstripe Bowl on December 27. This senior class, like the two that came before it, has been through hell and back.
It received a fitting honor yesterday night at the Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel during the 2014 Senior Banquet. Among the award-winners were Ryan Keiser, Anthony Zettel, and Sam Ficken.
Here is the night in tweets:
