We are three days away from Penn State kicking off one of its most anticipated seasons, which gives us the perfect opportunity to revisit one of the best pump speeches of all-time: No. 3 Deon Butler before the Ohio State game.
No. 3 and 8-0 Penn State went into the Horseshoe for a primetime (remember those, FOX?) matchup against the No. 9 ranked and 7-1 Buckeyes. The Nittany Lions were 0-7 in the Shoe since joining the Big Ten, but would need to upend Ohio State if they wanted to win the Big Ten title.
Senior wide Deon Butler set the stage for the wide receivers before they ran onto the field for warmups in what has now gone down as one of the most legendary speeches in Penn State history.
We are Penn State. We are not normal. We are legends. People will tell they’re kids about us. We are not normal. We are Penn State.
The Nittany Lions went onto win the game 13-6, thanks in large part to a Terrelle Pryor fumble.
Let’s hope this season we *finally* have another legendary win the Shoe to talk about.
Just 3 days, folks.
