It's Purdue vs Penn State in Week 12 of the 2024 college football season. Follow along for live score and game updates at Ross-Ade Stadium.

It is very likely that there’s little Penn State could have done to help its playoff case in the eyes of the College Football Playoff selection committee Saturday evening. The Nittany Lions were four score favorites over a Purdue team that is sitting at the bottom of the Big Ten, and playing like one of the worst teams in college football.

The No. 4-ranked Nittany Lions smoked Purdue, 49-10, for their largest margin of victory over the Boilermakers in 21 meetings. Penn State is now 9-1 overall and 6-1 in Big Ten play with two games to go until a possible College Football Playoff berth.
