🏈 Penn State football visits Michigan State on Saturday for a Big Ten contest. The matchup will be broadcast at 3:30 p.m. on CBS.

  • Penn State meets Michigan State for the 39th time in program history. The Nittany Lions lead the series, 19-18-1, including 7-11 in road matchups, and have won four of the last five matchups in the series. Penn State is 18-10 against the Spartans as a member of the Big Ten. In 2023 at Ford Field, Penn State picked up a 42-0 win. Drew Allar threw for 292 yards and two touchdowns. Kaytron Allen posted 137 yards on 15 carries and added a receiving touchdown, while Nicholas Singleton had 118 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries. The Penn State defense tallied 12 tackles for loss and seven sacks, while holding the Spartans to 53 total yards, -35 rushing yards and five first downs.

  • When the Penn State-Michigan State series was renewed with the Nittany Lions' entrance into the Big Ten in 1993, the Land Grant Trophy was established to go to the winner. Penn State-Michigan State was played annually as the teams' regular season finale from 1993-2010, 2014-16 and 2021-23. The Land Grant Trophy honors Penn State's and Michigan State's unique places in history as the two pioneer Land Grant institutions in the United States.

  • Michigan State is 3-6 this season, including an 0-6 mark in Big Ten play. On November 1, at Minnesota, the Spartans fell 23-20. Michigan State posted 467 total yards, including 311 through the air. On the ground, Elijah Tau-Tolliver rushed for 127 yards on 11 carries, while Rodney Bullard Jr. had four catches for 102 yards, including a 71-yard touchdown.
