Penn State is coming off a thrilling finish at Iowa, as the Nittany Lions drove 80 yards with less than two minutes remaining for a “walk-off” touchdown pass from Trace McSorley to Juwan Johnson with no time remaining to earn a 21-19 victory. The hard-fought win improved Penn State’s start to 4-0 for the first time since 2014.

Now, the Nittany Lions will look to extend their home winning streak of 10 games as they host a Big Ten team for the first time this season.

Leading the way for the Lions has been Saquon Barkley, who is assembling a historic season. Barkley’s latest feat was totaling a school-record 358 all-purpose yards at Iowa, and he now leads the nation with 253.3 all-purpose yards per game. His increased versatility is highlighted by his Big Ten-leading 335 receiving yards, while his ground game remains strong with 518 rushing yards in four games to rank in the top 10 nationally. His career-best 211 rushing yards at Iowa was his third career 200-plus yard effort, putting him in elite company with Lion legends John Cappelletti and Larry Johnson.

The Penn State defense has been doing its part as well, averaging just 8.3 points allowed per game to rank second in FBS. Its second safety of the season proved to be a difference maker in the two-point win over Iowa

Indiana presents a challenge with playmakers in all three phases, as linebacker Tegray Scales is a returning All-American, J-Shun Harris II has returned two punts for touchdowns and freshman running back Morgan Ellison nearly rushed for 200 yards in his last outing.

Penn State Encourages Fans to Participate in Football Game Day Recycling Efforts

Penn State is encouraging all football fans to be environmentally responsible and participate in the University’s recycling and sustainability initiatives by separating recyclable items before, during and after every game.

Blue recycling bags and clear trash bags are located throughout the Beaver Stadium parking lots, including the entrance to most lots.

Only recyclable items should be placed in the blue bags – plastic bottles, glass bottles and metal cans. All other items should be placed in the clear trash bags. Bags should be securely closed and left where fans parked and they will be picked up after the lots close.

Proper recycling and garbage disposal help to preserve the environment and keep the University grounds well maintained. Penn State encourages all fans to take responsibility for their tailgates, to clean up when their tailgate ends and make sure all garbage and recycling are properly collected and placed in the appropriate bag.

Intercollegiate Athletics also has partnered with Penn State’s Office of the Physical Plant (OPP), the Sustainability Institute and the Centre County Recycling & Refuse Authority (CCRRA) to help educate and promote recycling on game days. The Student Tailgate Ambassadors are leading the charge by engaging with fans in the Beaver Stadium parking lots and inside the stadium, as well, including the Mount Nittany Club.
