True freshman wide receiver Derek Moye dressed for the very first time in Beaver Stadium, ready to take on Notre Dame in 2007. He knew he’d be met with an electric crowd dressed in white, but Moye couldn’t even begin to imagine the lasting impacts of the first full-stadium White Out.

Penn State’s student section had put together a few White Outs of its own in the three years prior, starting with Purdue in 2004, when the athletic department asked the university’s students to wear white in an attempt to draw a crowd for the 2-3 Nittany Lions. 

It wasn’t until that 2007 contest against Notre Dame, though, that the entire crowd donned white. Moye said his teammates had told him how “crazy” the student section White Outs were, but no one knew what was ahead.
