Harrisburg’s Shorty Miller becomes the first true freshman to start at quarterback in a season opener for Penn State 116 years ago today as he leads the Nittany Lions to a 58-0 victory over the Harrisburg Athletic Club at Beaver Field.

Miller finishes his collegiate career with a record of 21-2-2, including an 8-0 record in 1912.
