Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The Philadelphia Eagles made it to Super Bowl XXXIX. Unfortunately, they lost the game to which team?

Answer: New England Patriots

The Eagles lost Super Bowl XXXIX, but they put up a good fight against the Patriots. New England only edged them out by 3 points in a 24-21 win.

2. When did the University of South Florida win their first bowl game?

Answer: 2006

They played in their first bowl game in 2005, but lost. Their first win came in 2006 at the PapaJohns.com Bowl by defeating ECU.

Answer: Chuck Fusina

Fusina was the Penn State quarterback from midway through the 1976 season through the end of his senior year in 1978. Fusina was the runner-up in his senior year to Oklahoma running back Billy Sims, who would later star for the Detroit Lions. Fusina, though a splendid college quarterback, did not find as much success in the NFL.

He did, however, lead the Philadelphia Stars to the first champisonhip of the rival USFL.

4. Kurt Warner took the snaps for which NFL team in 2008?

Answer: Arizona Cardinals

At the start of the season, the Cardinals were choosing between putting Matt Leinart or Kurt Warner as their starting quarterback. They picked Kurt Warner. It was Warner's 13th season in the NFL. He led the Cardinals to an outstanding season and a Super Bowl appearance, but lost.

5. Who was the head coach of the Michigan Wolverines in 2008?

Answer: Rich Rodriguez

He was the former coach at WVU and came to Michigan. 2008 was Rich's first season with the Wolverines, but their 3-9 record was not much of a welcome.

6. Before NFL head coach Andy Reid took over the Philadelphia Eagles, he was a quarterback coach and an assistant coach for which team?

Answer: Green Bay Packers

When he was the quarterback coach, he worked with the NFL legend Brett Favre. He was also the assistant to then head coach of the Packers, Mike Holmgren.

Answer: Brian Westbrook

Westbrook rushed for 936 yards and 9 TDs in 2008. He was in his seventh season with the Eagles.

Answer: Fiesta Bowl

Penn State defeated Arizona State in the 1977 Fiesta Bowl in their first of six trips to Tempe with Paterno. Interestingly, Penn State has never lost a Fiesta Bowl with Paterno at the helm. They defeated Ohio State after the 1980 season, Southern Cal in 1981, Tennessee in 1991, and Texas in 1996.

The most famous Penn State Fiesta Bowl win was the 14-7 victory over number one Miami (Fla) that capped the 1986 season (and the 100th year of Penn State football), with Penn State's second National Championship.
