Penn State adding regional opponents Delaware and Villanova to future schedules

Penn State had moved away from playing FCS opponents, but it will change in the next decade against regional opponents.

Villanova announced Thursday it will make the trip to Beaver Stadium in State College for games on Sept. 25, 2021 and Sept. 13, 2025. Fellow CAA Football member Delaware also announced it has signed contracts to play games at Penn State on Sept. 9, 2023 and Sept. 11, 2027.

Delaware has never played Penn State. Its second-year coach Danny Rocco began his collegiate playing career at Penn State before transferring to Wake Forest.
