UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State is set to take on Villanova at 3:30 p.m. Saturday for the 11th time in program history as the Nittany Lions look to improve to 3-0.

The last time the Nittany Lions met the Wildcats was in 2021, when Sean Clifford led the team to a decisive 38-17 victory with 401 passing yards and three touchdowns. Parker Washington and Jahan Dotson combined for 265 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns.

Villanova will be the Blue and White’s last opponent before their highly anticipated matchup against Oregon, so they will certainly look to walk out of Beaver Stadium on a high note before facing the No. 4 team in the country.
