Former Penn State running back Eric McCoo had a big impact in the game as he prepared to head to the Philadelphia Eagles training camp later that summer. McCoo rushed for 167 yards on 28 carries and scored a  69 yard touchdown in the Berlin 30-24 victory to take the title. His brilliant performance earned hin the Most Valuable Player honors for the game. The humble McCoo gave credit for his success to the big men up front that blocked so well for him.
