Penn State to honor 1959 Liberty Bowl team at halftime of UCF football game

Close to 30 members of Penn State's 1959 Liberty Bowl-winning squad are scheduled to return to campus this weekend for a 45th reunion. The team will be introduced at halftime of Saturday's (Sept. 18) Penn State-UCF game, which will kick off at 12:10 p.m. in Beaver Stadium. The 1959 Penn State team earned the program's third bowl bid all-time and posted the Nittany Lions' first post-season victory in the inaugural Liberty Bowl. Penn State defeated No. 10 Alabama, 7-0, at Municipal Stadium in Philadelphia to finish with a 9-2 mark and the No. 11 Associated Press final ranking. The only score of the game came in the final seconds of the first half on a fake field goal. Reserve quarterback Galen Hall threw 18 yards to Roger Kochman for the score. Hall is now in his first season overseeing the Penn State offense and coaching the running backs.
