While Penn State football games tend to bring a handful of letterman back to Beaver Stadium, no game generates more alumni traffic than the White Out. Saturday night’s 28-20 victory over the Auburn Tigers was no exception.
From Saquon Barkley to Michael Mauti, Nittany Lions of all ages returned home to cheer on Penn State. Here’s a quick look at Saturday night’s de facto reunion.
The team welcomed former cornerback Adam Taliaferro as its honorary captain. Best known for his recovery from a serious spinal injury, Taliaferro told his story at ESPN’s College GameDay Saturday morning.
Linebacker U certainly showed up to support Brent Pry’s defense with appearances from Gerald Hodges, NaVorro Bowman, Brandon Bell, and Michael Mauti.
Former 2009 team captain Daryll Clark also made an appearance representing the quarterback room.
Along with Mauti, defensive tackle Jordan Hill was a captain on the team that helped keep Penn State football alive in 2012. Both were featured in a documentary, “Saving The Roar,” that premiered during the White Out weekend at the State Theatre.
Plenty of Franklin-era players showed up to Happy Valley as well to support their former coach.
