Era vs Era: Qualifying Voting Results

Over the last few weeks, we’ve asked you, the reader, to reflect back on the offenses and defenses from four eras of Penn State football in the 21st century, and then vote on the best from each era.

The four eras being evaluated are:

  • Late Paterno Era (2005-2009)
  • Transition Era (2010-2014)
  • Early Franklin Era (2015-2019)
  • Current Era (2020-2023)

Let’s go over the results from each era, so we can see what our four semifinal teams look like.

Late Paterno Era

It may come as no surprise to most, but the two leading teams in this era were 2005 and 2008.
