We may not play the greatest teams, but we play FBS teams. Every year, each SEC team plays at least one game against a FCS school, and they supposedly are the best conference. We beat national champs Ohio State last year, although the refs took it away. You are forgetting that they also scheduled Pitt, West Virginia and Syracuse for the next few years as well.
Some years, it has been next to impossible to sell tickets. This past year was one of the worst home schedules ever with only Michigan a good team to watch. Also, I’m not sure how much Sandy Barbour minds some empty seats. Most of those empty seats were already paid for by us NLC members. Very simple .plus the extra charge on all season ticket holders.
How the Secondary Market Is Pricing Rose Bowl Tickets
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.
I grew up watching Jo PA and Penn State. The game will be great, we play well and we play hard. We were the first FCS to FBS team to go to and win our first bowl game—yes a smaller bowl, but exciting and great football. Thanks for the invite and for recognizing something the rest of this list might learn the hard way.
Penn State Nittany Lions
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.
Do you people have any idea what you are talking about. We have played ND and Alabama and other big non con games but when your coming off sanctions this is what needs to be done for a few years to build the program. And bringing the Pitt rivalry is a good thing.
Penn State Nittany Lions - Schedule
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?
PSU non-conference schedule sucks and always have. Akron, Cincinnati, Kent State, Umass come on! You should be putting in some competition. ND, Georgia, Alabama, Texas, UCLA, No one is going to pay those prices to see Kent State and PSU play or Akron play PSU.. If you want to win a national title you got to run with the big dogs. Playing these schools like Cincinnati is ot going to do it.
'We're About to Change History for Penn State Football'
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.
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.
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.
@Snayburger, it sounds easy, but that is not going to every happen and you know it. If you could get Bama, UT, ND, you aren’t also working in all those ACC and AAC games you say to work through. Temple may agree to a 2-1 or a 3-1, but we know Cuse, BC, Cincy, Pitt, WVU will not. How do you work two sets of teams requiring a home and away with the 9 game Big Ten schedule? I’d rather the national opponents than propping up ACC teams, but Bama, UT, ND also have pretty full OOC schedules going out 6 years.
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.
The Big Ten begins playing a nine-game conference schedule in 2016. Therefore, teams will only have three non-conference games per season after that format initiates. The Big Ten released its 2023 conference football schedules on Wednesday, assigning Penn State a road trip to start the Big Ten season.
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.
