Ohio State vs. Penn State

The Ohio State vs. Penn State rivalry remains as one of the nation’s best, including it being an annual Big Ten East division showdown.

Prior to the 1993 season when Penn State joined the Big Ten, Ohio State and Penn State played 8 times. Now, they play annually for a spot to play in the Big Ten Championship Game.

Ohio State leads the all-time series 22-14. The first matchup came on November 16, 1912 in Columbus. Penn State hammered Ohio State 37-0. In fact, the Nittany Lions won the first 4 games they faced the Buckeyes. Fans had to wait until 1956 to see the teams clash once more.

Ohio State is in the midst of the series’ longest winning streak of 5 games — 2017-present. In the early 2000s, some classic matchups happened between Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel and Penn State head coach Joe Paterno. The Buckeyes should hold a 23-14 overall record; however, Ohio State vacated 2010’s 38-14 win over Penn State due to several Buckeyes players receiving improper benefits. The Buckeyes vacated every win during the 2010 season.
