Not only are the Nittany Lions looking to reclaim the Land-Grant Trophy but they're also looking for their first 10-win season since 2019.

It moved the Spartans to 5-6 on the season including 3-5 in conference play.

Last season, Penn State lost to Michigan State 23-20 in East Lansing. All-time, Michigan State leads the series 18-17-1.
