The Penn State Nittany Lions arrived in south Florida on Tuesday ready to take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the Orange Bowl.

In an era that is now long gone, a trip to the Orange Bowl meant a break from the rough weather up north and the capper to a successful season that might even end with a championship trophy in the case.

This week's trip to South Florida isn't the first homecoming for Notre Dame defensive coordinator Al Golden. He's come back in the years since the end of his tenure as head coach at the University of Miami.
