The most certain way to understand the 2005 Penn State football season is this -- take it back to the raw materials from which it started and trace how it was built.

Starting in late 2004, the bricks of this team's path were carefully laid in place, and it soon was proved that this craftsmanship would defiantly hold up even when placed under unprecedented stress. And, as a unified army of men, led by three resolute captains, marched down this road, it followed it all the way to its final destination -- a Big Ten championship and an Orange Bowl triumph.
