1986 Orange Bowl

This was Oklahoma's second straight Orange Bowl appearance and their second straight Big Eight Conference title. This was Penn State's first Orange Bowl appearance since 1974.

Game summary

Tim Manoa gave Penn State an early lead on a short touchdown run as they led 7-0 after one quarter of play. But Tim Lasher kicked two field goals and Keith Jackson caught a touchdown from Jamelle Holieway as Oklahoma scored 16 points in the second quarter while Massimo Manca gave Penn State their only points in the quarter with his field goal just before the half ended to make it 16-10. Penn State was shut out from there, as Oklahoma's defense took over from there, as Brian Bosworth had 12 tackles and the defense had a total of four interceptions. In the second half, Lashar kicked his third field goal, and Lydell Carr scored on a touchdown run to seal the championship for the Sooners. ^[1]
