University Park, Pa. -- Penn Staters will take their trademark Beaver Stadium "White Out" south for the FedEx Orange Bowl match-up with Florida State.

The Penn State student body is calling on all Nittany Lion fans to wear white and unite as one to the support the team during the Jan. 3 game.

The Penn State football team also will wear white as the visiting team in the 72nd Annual Orange Bowl.

During the 2005 season, Penn State's student body elevated the spirit and Beaver Stadium game day atmosphere to new heights in nationally televised Big Ten clashes with Ohio State and Wisconsin. ESPN College GameDay, on hand for the OSU game, declared Penn State's student section "the best student section we've ever seen."

Penn State received more than double the number of requests for tickets than it was allotted for the Orange Bowl. A lottery system for student tickets was implemented to handle more than 5,000 requests for the 2,600 student tickets available and 11,000 tickets were distributed to season ticket holders after registered demand for more than 28,000 tickets. The balance of tickets were distributed to the University and Intercollegiate Athletics.

The Bowl Championship Series match-up of Big Ten and ACC Champions will kick off at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 3 in Dolphins Stadium and will be televised by ABC as the only game of the day. Mike Tirico, Krik Herbstreit and Erin Andrews are set to broadcast the nationally televised game. The Penn State Sports Network, with Steve Jones and Jack Ham, will carry the game, which can also be heard on http://GoPSUsports.com

Coach Joe Paterno's squad is 10-1 and ranked No. 3 in the BCS, AP and USA Today Coaches polls. The Nittany Lions arrived in Florida on Tuesday, Dec. 20 and have been practicing for the showdown.
