ESPN'S TAKE
Jim Donnan The 2006 Orange Bowl certainly wasn't the most well-played game, but it did provide plenty of excitement and lots of tension. Mistakes, penalties and missed opportunities plagued both Penn State and Florida State. However, both the Nittany Lions and Seminoles played hard in this classic defensive struggle.
