This will be the first time Penn State has played at Minnesota since 2019.
That afternoon didnโt go well for Penn State. PSU came in unbeaten and ranked No. 4 but fell 31-26 at No. 17 Minnesota. This season, Penn State is again ranked in the top five and Minnesota isnโt ranked anywhere. Minnesota has had an up-and-down campaign, currently sitting at 6-4. Minnesotaโs most recent outing was a 26-19 loss at Rutgers.
BEFORE MINNESOTA

Before Penn State plays Minnesota, it has to take on Purdue in West Lafayette. Purdue has had a rough go of it in 2024, losing eight of its first nine games. The most recent performance was a 45-0 drubbing at the hands of Ohio State in Columbus. To make matters even worse, Purdueโs lone win didnโt come against Big Ten or even Power Four competition. The only team Purdue has beaten has been Indiana State, which it pounded 49-0 Week 1. Penn State isnโt Indiana State.

Minnesota doesnโt play anybody this week. The teamโs bye wasnโt scheduled until mid-November. After playing Penn State, Minnesota will, as always, end the season by playing Wisconsin for Paul Bunyanโs axe, with a noon game time for this yearโs showdown.
