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 Lions got promising efforts from multiple backups on offense (quarterback Beau Pribula, running back Corey Smith, tight end Luke Reynolds, receiver/returner Tyseer Denmark) and on defense (cornerbacks Audavion Collins, Kenneth Wosely, Antonie Belgrave-Shorter, rush-end Jaylen Harvey and linebacker Ta'Mere Robinson and Anthony Speca).
