Lion Tales: Bowling Green

Penn State and Bowling Green have played just twice ever - but both are extremely notable.

In 1987, the Nittany Lions opened against the Falcons, winning 45-19 and giving Joe Paterno his 200th career victory.

Eleven seasons later, Bowling Green returned to Beaver Stadium and that memorable game is the one that we will focus on with today’s edition of Lion Tales.

I alluded to this last week, but Penn State under Paterno had a number of years with 9 or 10 wins that felt a little hollow, much like how we might look at the 2023 season under James Franklin.
