It may come as a surprise to younger Michigan fans the Maize and Blue has only faced Penn State 21 times, given how frequently the teams have recently seen each other. Since joining the Big Ten in 1993, the Nittany Lions have been on Michigan’s schedule all but four times, and with the current division structure they will continue to be an annual opponent for the foreseeable future.
Head coach Jim Harbaugh has a 2-1 record at the helm against Penn State, with the past two outings ending in lopsided victories for the home team.
