Penn State is heading into the 2025 college football season with high expectations. After making a run to the semifinal round of the College Football Playoff last season, along with a trip to the Big Ten championship game, the Nittany Lions got a taste of what it takes to take things to the next level. But in 2025, the Nittany Lions are receiving higher expectations for the season from the national media. A roster full of returning starters at key positions and some work done in the transfer portal, there are some valid reasons to expect a fun season in Happy Valley in 2025.
Penn State’s schedule will include seven home games, including the first Big Ten meeting in the regular season with the Oregon Ducks. Penn State will also host Nebraska, Northwestern, and Indiana in Big Ten play. Penn State will be on the road five times this season in conference play.
