**No. 2 Penn State Set to Host Villanova in Saturday Showdown**

**UNIVERSITY PARK, PA** – The No. 2-ranked Penn State Nittany Lions are gearing up to face the Villanova Wildcats this Saturday at 3:30 p.m. in West Shore Home Field at Beaver Stadium. The game will be broadcast on FS1. Penn State leads the all-time series 6-3-1, including a 6-2-1 record at home.

The Nittany Lions are coming off a dominant performance against FIU, highlighted by senior running backs Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton both surpassing 3,000 career rushing yards. Allen reached the milestone with a 67-yard touchdown run, making them the first Penn State teammates to achieve this feat simultaneously. They are also the first FBS teammates to do it since 2020.

Penn State’s defense has been equally impressive, recording a shutout against FIU and maintaining a streak of shutouts in each of the last five seasons, a feat unmatched by any other FBS team. Notably, defensive tackles Alonzo Ford Jr. snagged an interception, continuing a trend from last week.

Villanova enters the game fresh off a 24-17 victory over Colgate. Quarterback Pat McQuaide threw for 299 yards and one touchdown. Wide receiver Luke Colella caught five passes for 124 yards and Lukas Kopecky added a 56-yard touchdown.
