PSU vs Auburn In 2021-22

From GoPSUSports.com / UNIVERSITY PARK, PA. – Penn State Director of Athletics Sandy Barbour and Auburn Director of Athletics Jay Jacobs announced the first-ever regular season gridiron meetings between the two traditional powers, set for the 2021 and 2022 seasons.

The Tigers will visit Beaver Stadium on Sept. 18, 2021 and the Nittany Lions will travel to Jordan-Hare Stadium on Sept. 17, 2022. The teams have met twice before in bowl games, with Penn State posting a 43-14 win in the 1996 Outback Bowl and Auburn earning a 13-9 victory in the 2003 Capital One Bowl.

“We are thrilled to be adding Auburn to our future football schedules,” Barbour said. “This is a great intersectional match-up and there will be significant interest from alumni, fans and students of both schools to be a part of the electric atmospheres on both campuses. I am very appreciative of Jay Jacobs’ interest and efforts in making this home-and-home series a reality.”

“We are excited that our fans will be able to see Auburn, Pitt, West Virginia and Virginia Tech in Beaver Stadium in upcoming seasons, in addition to our challenging Big Ten schedule,” Barbour added.

The 2021 and 2022 Auburn games add another marquee opponent to the Nittany Lions’ upcoming non-conference schedules.
