The Penn State vs. Michigan State game is an annual matchup that’s played in the Big Ten’s Eastern Division. The 2 teams play for the Land Grant Trophy.
When Penn State joined the Big Ten in 1993, the Nittany Lions and Spartans were designated as permanent rivals. When Nebraska joined the Big Ten in 2011, the conference split into 2 divisions: Legends and Leaders. At the time, Penn State was moved into the Leaders Division, while Michigan State was moved into the Legends Division.
This series has been relatively even over the years, but Michigan State does hold an 18-17-1 advantage.
