Watching this year's Rose Bowl, several people said, wasn't quite as enjoyable as watching the 1995 Rose Bowl, in which Penn State beat Oregon, 38-20.
"It's a little disappointing," said Dan Samilo, a Lancaster resident who studied business at Penn State in the 1990s. "You gotta look at the bright side. They did have a good year."
