ESPN: New Era Pinstripe Bowl

Dec 29th, Bronx NY

Opponent: Virginia

ESPN projects Penn State Football to head back to the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium, the site of Franklin’s first bowl victory with the Nittany Lions post the sanctions.

Virginia would provide a fun matchup as they feature an explosive offense led by quarterback Brennan Armstrong.

This feels like the one location most Penn State Football fans would want to avoid though however.
