Nittany Lions DB doesn’t think Penn State-Pittsburgh is a rivalry
Published:
Well, this is awkward if you’re a Pittsburgh football fan.
But, it’s not that crazy. After a practice on Wednesday, Penn State CB Tariq Castro-Fields was asked if Penn State-Pittsburgh was a rivalry or not.
You can probably already guess his answer:

At least Castro-Fields said that every game for Penn State is like a Super Bowl. Sure, that’s the right approach.
But, c’mon. Not calling Pittsburgh a rival if you’re Penn State is a nice little jab at a program that is realistically not on the same level as the Nittany Lions.
Hard-hitting will surely take place when the two teams collide at 8 p.m. on Saturday at Heinz Field. The game will be televised on ABC.
