🔺 New Matchups Coming. Although we don’t yet know what future Big Ten football schedules will look like, we do know Penn State will be matching up against Oregon and Washington more often!

How have the Nittany Lions fared against the Ducks and Huskies in the past? Glad you asked!

🦁 vs. 🦆

The Nittany Lions are 3-1 all-time against Oregon, winning the Liberty Bowl back in 1960, a close matchup in Portland in 1963, dropping a home game against the Ducks in 1964, and most recently winning a Rose Bowl matchup in 1995.

🦁 vs. 🐕

Penn State is 3-0 all-time versus Washington, winning the first matchup all the way back in 1921 (we all remember where we were for that game), the second in the 1983 Aloha Bowl, and the most recent coming in the 2017 Fiesta Bowl.

🔺 Looks Really Nice! We got caught trying to sneak onto Penn State men’s basketball’s flight down to the Bahamas, so we’re living vicariously through the content the team is sending back to the States!
