One of the best college football stories in the fall was the rebuilding of the Penn State program after the devastating Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse scandal. O'Brien came to State College from the New England Patriots, tasked with replacing a tarnished legend in Joe Paterno. O'Brien was the Big Ten Coach of the year after leading the Nittany Lions to an 8-4 record.

That was the play that put nightmare visions of Pete Kozma and Jaroslav Halak temporarily on ice.
