The U and Penn State Football played one of the most iconic games in college football history in the 1986 Fiesta Bowl, which led to a national championship for the Lions.

Miami just hired former Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal who is looking to restore the swagger of the Hurricanes. They do not have the greatest home-field advantage in the sport, but Miami taking a trip up north to State College could be very fun.

Two big brands who are looking to restore themselves to past glory days would be a big draw, and if Penn State Football and Miami can get back on track, it could be a very meaningful game if the two were to meet, as neither team is very far off from being a playoff contender.
