About Penn State Nittany Lions Football
Few settings in college football match a big game at Beaver Stadium in Happy Valley. The home of Penn State Nittany Lions football seats 106,304 in University Park, Pennsylvania, one of the largest capacities in the sport, and the program filling it dates to 1887. Penn State owns two consensus national championships, four Big Ten titles, 13 undefeated seasons and the seventh-most all-time wins of any Division I program, a resume few schools can match.
The modern program was built on coaching longevity. Rip Engle went 16 seasons without a losing year from 1950 to 1965, and his successor, Joe Paterno, spent 46 seasons as head coach, the longest tenure of any head coach in FBS history. Paterno's 409 wins stand as the most in FBS football, and his teams won national championships in 1982 and 1986 while appearing in 37 bowl games. Beaver Stadium was expanded six times during his tenure.
After a century as an independent, Penn State joined the Big Ten in 1993 and kept collecting hardware, winning conference championships in 1994, 2005, 2008 and 2016. In the first 12-team College Football Playoff, the sixth-seeded Nittany Lions won a first-round game against the SMU Mustangs and beat the Boise State Broncos in the Fiesta Bowl before falling to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in an Orange Bowl semifinal. In December 2025, Penn State hired Matt Campbell away from the Iowa State Cyclones to open the program's next chapter.
Who are the most famous players in Penn State Nittany Lions football history?
Penn State's most famous players are its linebackers, a lineage that earned the program the nickname Linebacker U. The names span every era of Nittany Lions football:
- Jack Ham: 251 tackles and two undefeated teams in college, followed by a Pro Football Hall of Fame career with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- Shane Conlan: a two-time All-American and the defensive MVP of the Fiesta Bowl that sealed the 1986 national championship.
- LaVar Arrington: the 1999 Dick Butkus and Chuck Bednarik Award winner who went second overall in the NFL draft.
- Paul Posluszny: the 2005 Dick Butkus Award winner and a two-time Bednarik winner with 372 career tackles.
- Micah Parsons: the first linebacker drafted in 2021, taken 11th overall.
How many national championships have the Penn State Nittany Lions won?
The Penn State Nittany Lions have won two consensus national championships, in 1982 and 1986, both under Joe Paterno. The 1982 season ended with a Sugar Bowl victory and the 1986 title was sealed in the Fiesta Bowl. Major selectors also crowned Penn State in 1911, 1912, 1969, 1981 and 1994, though the school claims only the two consensus titles. Since joining the Big Ten in 1993, the Nittany Lions have won conference championships in 1994, 2005, 2008 and 2016, and they reached the semifinals of the first 12-team College Football Playoff in the 2024 season. For fans sorting through Penn State football tickets each fall, that championship history is the backdrop.
What awards have Penn State Nittany Lions football players won?
The Heisman Trophy that running back John Cappelletti won in 1973 is the centerpiece of the Penn State award case, and his number 22 is the only retired number in program history. The Nittany Lions have also produced 44 consensus All-Americans and a long line of national award winners:
- Maxwell Award: seven winners, from Richie Lucas in 1959 to Larry Johnson in 2002, including Kerry Collins in the unbeaten 1994 season.
- Chuck Bednarik Award: LaVar Arrington in 1999, Paul Posluszny in 2005 and 2006, and Dan Connor in 2007.
- Dick Butkus Award: Arrington in 1999 and Posluszny in 2005.
- Davey O'Brien Award: Todd Blackledge in the 1982 championship season and Kerry Collins in 1994.
Who is the biggest rival of the Penn State Nittany Lions?
The longest-standing rival of the Penn State Nittany Lions is the Pittsburgh Panthers. The in-state series began in 1893, the schools have met 100 times, and Penn State leads 53-43-4. The rivalry was once one of the fiercest in college football north of the Mason-Dixon line. In the Big Ten, the game against the Ohio State Buckeyes has become the marquee matchup, played every year since 1993 with conference and national stakes frequently on the line, and the Michigan State Spartans compete with Penn State for the Land Grant Trophy. Penn State even trademarked the word "Unrivaled" in 2015 as a nod to its century as an independent, but the fall schedule still delivers the rivalry weekends that define a season.
What is a Penn State Nittany Lions White Out game?
A White Out is the signature fan tradition in Penn State Nittany Lions football, when the crowd arrives in white clothes, paint and accessories for a marquee home game and turns the 106,304-seat stadium into one of the noisiest, most intimidating settings in America. The tradition dates to a 2004 student-section White Out against the Purdue Boilermakers and has become one of the most eagerly anticipated games of each season. Its signature moment came in 2016, when the Nittany Lions upset the second-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes in a White Out. During the week of a big home game, students camp outside Gate A in Nittanyville, a tent-city tradition that began in 2005, waiting out the week for front-row seats, while the Penn State Blue Band marching band performs the fight song "Fight On, State." A White Out is the game fans circle first on the schedule, and the Saturday when Penn State football tickets are hardest to come by in Happy Valley.
