When was the last time Penn State lost to a MAC team in football?
The Nittany Lions are struggling at home against the Bowling Green State University Fighting Falcons. A look at their record against MAC rivals
Penn State has traditionally dominated teams from the MAC, but today a the Fighting Falcons from Bowling Green, Ohio are giving the Nittany Lions a scare. It’s halftime at Beaver Stadium at University Park, PA and the BGSU Falcons are leading 24 - 20.
The Falcons have never beat the Nittany Lions and today they could make history by beating a Big-10 powerhouse on the road. Penn State has a winning record against BGSU with two wins. MAC teams have struggled against Big-10 teams, but have pulled out a few wins over the years. Ohio University beat Penn State 24 - 14 in 2012 and the Toledo Rockets have a 1.000 winning percentage against the Nittany Lions, with one win in their only meeting in 2000 when the team from Northwest Ohio won 24 - 6. No other MAC team has beat Penn State and the odds are against BGSU today, but the alarm bells are ringing in Happy Valley as the Falcons look to upset the Nittany Lions for the first time in history.
