Highlights and Lowlights
Penn State has had an early history in Heavyweight Football Championship games with a number of 19th century games, although it took until 1952 to get their first title. In fact, for their long history and winning tradition, they haven't fared as well in title games. Their best run was a handful of wins after beating Alabama in 1986, only to lose the title back to Alabama in 1987.Record of Title Games
