Penn State took care of business on Black Friday, defeating Michigan State 42-0. The win was the Lions’ tenth of the season, securing back-to-back double-digit win seasons for the first time since 2016-2017.

That’s important because one of the New Year’s Six auto bids goes to the highest-ranked Group of 5 conference champion.
