The 1960 Liberty Bowl was a college football postseason bowl game that featured the Penn State Nittany Lions and the Oregon Webfoots.
Penn State was making their second straight Liberty Bowl appearance, while Oregon was appearing in a bowl game after a two-year absence. 30 degree weather with three feet snowbanks made for a cold field.
Hoak rushed for 61 yards on 9 carries for two touchdowns with 67 yards passing en route to being named MVP. Oregon's Dave Grayson ran for 93 yards on 10 carries
Oregon has not returned to the Liberty Bowl since this game while Penn State has returned just once, in 1979.
