Highlights from Lions' &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 season &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The best, worst, brightest, weirdest and funniest moments from Penn State's
first season in the Big Ten: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Best game: Hands down, the Citrus Bowl victory over Tennessee. A 9 -point
underdog, the Lions outplayed the highly regarded Volunteers in every facet of
the game. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Runner-up: The thrilling come-from-behind victory at Michigan State. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Worst game: The 24-6 debacle at Ohio State was the low point in the Lions'
season. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Best player: Bobby Engram. The gifted receiver/kick returner from Camden,
S.C., made big play after big play in his recordsetting season for the Lions.
Engram, who should be one of the preseason favorites to win the 1994 Heisman
Trophy, is already considered by many one of the most exciting players in Penn
State history. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 And he has two years left. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 But don't forget: Ki-Jana Carter, who might have made a serious run for the
Heisman this season were it not for a knee injury that sidelined the talented
tailback for almost three games. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Carter, yet another red-shirt sophomore, still managed to rush for 1,026
yards and displayed that rare combination of power and speed to the entire
nation in the Citrus Bowl. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Best play: Carter's 14-yardtouchdown run with three seconds left in the
first half of the Citrus Bowl. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Worst series: The Lions' failure to score from a half-yard out on four
downs vs. Michigan. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Gutsiest player: Quarterback Kerry Collins, who endured a rash of criticism
after a few sproadic performances but silenced the experts by finishing strong
in State's final two games. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 If he stays healthy next year, look out! &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Biggest overachiever: Senior guard Mike Malinoski. Penn State coach Joe
Paterno said the first time he saw the less-than-imposing Shenandoah, Pa.,
native on the practice field, he thought, "Holy Smokes!" &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Yet Malinoski turned out to be the leader of an O-line that was the core of
State's outstanding running game. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Best pro prospect (this year or next): Tight end Kyle Brady. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Unsung heroes: The entire offensive line. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Runners-up: Fullback Brian O'Neal and punter V.J. Muscillo. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Classiest player: A three-way tie between Craig Fayak, Lee Rubin and Bucky
Greeley. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Classless act: John Sacca's I'm-going-home tirade after the quarterback was
pulled from the Iowa game by Paterno. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Best quote: Anything said by Tyoka Jackson. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Strangest game: Penn State at Northwestern, played at a three-fourths empty
Dyche Stadium. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Most obnoxious fans: Tennessee's. Remember, Penn State didn't play Notre
Dame this year. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Most overasked question: "Is the Big Ten all you thought it would be,
coach?" &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Most overused answer: "Yes, it was." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Funniest moment No. 1: Asked why he never wears a hat on the sideline when
it rains, Paterno replied, "Women don't like it." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Funniest moment No. 2: When Paterno, at his annual season-ending press
conference, identified by position only the red-shirt freshmen whom he expects
to make a big contribution next season, it prompted this response from a beat
writer: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "When do these players get names?" &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Funniest moment of all time: Paterno referring to defensive back Cliff
Dingle as Dingus. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Worst decision No. 1: The coach showed incredibly poor judgment by picking
the Citrus Bowl's "Day for Kids Barbecue" to complain about his players
standing around for hours in the hot sun, as well as sounding off about the
hectic week-long schedule for teams at the bowl. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Though Paterno, who apologized the following day, clearly never meant to
show disrespect for the event which brings together disadvantaged children
with players from both teams for a few hours of fun and games, he would have
been wise to hold off on his remarks. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Worst decision No. 2: The PSU Sports Information staff, for scheduling the
coach's day-after-Citrus-Bowl press conference at 7:45 a.m. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 And you thought it was going to be the two quarterback sneaks against
Michigan? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
