Penn State football fans are likely heading to The Volunteer State for the Nittany Lions’ upcoming bowl game.
With the Penn State football team improving to 7-4 on the year after beating the Rutgers Scarlet Knights 28-0 at home, Nittany Lions fans are preparing themselves for a holiday season bowl game.
While the Nittany Lions struggled at times down the stretch, they have a chance of getting to 8-4 during the regular season, depending on how the rivalry game vs. Michigan State goes on Thanksgiving Weekend. If Penn State ends up going 7-5 this year, there are a few bowl games where they could end up playing. However, there is one game that is beginning to present itself.
Here are the latest bowl projections for the Penn State football team after the Rutgers game.
