Navy will renew a dormant rivarly with Penn State in football when the Midshipmen travel to Happy Valley to take on the Nittany Lions in 2012, both schools announced Wednesday.
Navy, who last played Penn State in 1974, beating the Lions 7-6, will travel to State College Sept. 15 where Penn State is 7-3 against the Midshipmen and 18-17-2 overall.
