UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Penn State and Minnesota will play for the Governor's Victory Bell Saturday in Beaver Stadium.
Dating back to the first year of Big Ten football at Penn State, the Governor's Victory Bell has been awarded to the winner of each Penn State-Minnesota game since the Nittany Lions and the Golden Gophers played in Penn State inaugural game as members of the Big Ten Conference.
With Penn State's first Big Ten outing slated against the Golden Gophers in 1993, Pennsylvania Governor Robert Casey and Minnesota Governor Arne Carlson commissioned the trophy game to mark the Penn State's first Big Ten game.
