PSU will be much improved next year. Franklin just terminated the offensive coordinator and PSU had the 4th best recruits. We have plenty of talented players on both sides of the ball coming back for the next several years. Furthermore, OSU, Mich and MSU are losing key players which will allow for a more competitive conference. 2016 should be a fun year in the Big 10.
The away can be the year we have 5 home B10 games. But then you nee the other 2 OOC games to be home. Yes, I’m sick of the MAC too, but they serve a purpose. So, the reality is we can do 1 home-away with a P5, not any more. The financial realities of needing 7 home games and the 9 B10 games ties PSU’s hands.
Pittsburg State Gorillas Schedule 2022
Appalachian State was also bowl eligible last year and they will play Penn State soon. So before you say how much we stink, get your facts straight. The addition of Appalachian State today completes Penn State’s football schedules through the 2018 season. The Nittany Lions need two non-conference games each season from 2019 through 2022.
Other previously announced non-conference games for Penn State in 2018 include at Pittsburgh on Sept. 8 and home against Kent State on Sept. 15. Some school's results have been altered by retroactive NCAA penalties. As a matter of policy, Sports Reference only reports the results of games as played on the field. See our list of forfeits and vacated games for more details. The Big Ten did not release schedules for 2024, when USC and UCLA join the conference. The Lions will open conference play on the road for the eighth consecutive year.
Scheduled Games
They hosted Rutgers in the conference opener in 2015. Penn State is 8-4 in Big Ten road openers since 2010, including a win at Purdue in September. PSU needs to win games against the mid majors. App State is a good football program.
I would love a game between the Huskies and the Lions. Remember the years playing USC, UofA in the kickoff classic? I say play the tough non-conference schedule and let the Lions do their thing. @Glenn, you do realize it isn’t 1982 and we are part of a conference that dictates we play 9 conference games going forward?

Then schedule home and homes with Notre Dame, Alabama, Miami, Texas, USC – teams like these. They could still rotate every year between BC, Syracuse,Pitt, WVU, Cincinnati, Temple, playing them at home to get 2 of the 3 non-conf games. I would take any two of those road or home games over Kent and Appalachian State in the same season……sorry. You know, as a Penn St. fan I am very disappointed with their non-conference scheduling. I’m quite certain if they ever turn their program around and have a top-rated team, they will miss the NCAA playoffs because their schedule is so weak.
I was a PSU season ticket holder for 20 years and finally gave them up. Their non-conference schedule is terrible, what value am I receiving for the tickets I was buying. They should leave that conference and go the Notre Dame route. We lost all of our good players and still have a winning record. We not only win, but our students get good grades too. You are forgetting that we have the future #1 draft pick a QB along with the greatest coach of all time.

The use of software that blocks ads hinders our ability to serve you the content you came here to enjoy. You don’t have to tell me, I’m a long-time season ticket holder/NLC member. I don’t like the long drive to watch MAC teams or other similar ones.
I’ve been a PSU fan for over 30 years, and I’m getting tired of these schedules with high school teams on them. If the BIG 10 remains weak, you’re right , we won’t make the playoffs in the future. Penn State’s schedule was A LOT more attractive IMO back in their eastern independent days. They played regional rivals AND 2-3 major programs every year, not teams from the Flyover County Conference and Little Flyover Country Conference . That’s the major reason why I stopped caring about Penn State football in the mid-1990s. That is what I have been saying right along.
Turned a lot of alumni off that supported the team for years , i did not t renew my tickets . I go down to games and buy tickets at the tailgates . All I can say is lets enjoy our fall Saturdays and hope for W’s.
Penn State will travel to face Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Rutgers.
Some years, there will be 5 away Big Ten games. How will you do that win all the home-away P5 match ups you’ve proposed? You can have 1 P5 match-up you’ve proposed and the PSU home needs to be the year we have 5 away B10 games.
That’s where you can fill in with lower-tier P5 or non P-5 FBS teams. Sadly, what needing 7 home games does, is limit you to 1 premier OOC game. The other fact is that Franklin has stated he wants easier games. Not FCS, but he wants the wins, and figures that if he can win the Big Ten, he will be in the playoff.
