What is Penn State’s all-time record vs. Marshall?
With Week 1 of the college football season right around the corner, let’s look at Penn State’s all-time record vs. Marshall.
Penn State and Marshall have only faced each other twice in their history, with the Nittany Lions emerging victorious both times. In 1929, they beat Marshall 26-7, and in the following season of 1930, they crushed the Thundering Herd 65-0. Unfortunately, there are no box scores from these ancient games to provide detailed statistics, but it is evident that Penn State's ground attack was dominant during those eras when the forward pass was less prevalent.
The overall Big Ten record between these two teams is not particularly impressive, standing at 2-7 all-time. The sole wins for Marshall came in 2013 and 2015, suggesting they are gradually adapting to compete with Big Ten opponents. Similarly, Penn State's experience playing Sun Belt Conference teams is equally minimal, boasting a 3-0 record. Their most recent victory was against Appalachian State back in 2018.
Despite Marshall's recent improvements against Big Ten competition, Penn State is expected to dominate the upcoming season's game. While a 65-0 victory may not occur, the Nittany Lions are expected to secure a significant win.
