We’re just under a week away until Penn State football welcomes SMU to Beaver Stadium for its first College Football Playoff game in program history.

While SMU is officially known as the Mustangs, the university fondly calls itself the Ponies, which is a much less intimidating nickname.

We decided to brainstorm some Penn State-themed people and items that would take down a pony in a fight.

Creamery Ice Cream Scoop

These hard metal ice cream scoops from the Berkey Creamery would not be fun to take hits from, and a pony would have a hard time taking whacks from them.

Andy Kotelnicki’s Calves

One step and it’s all over for the Ponies. Penn State’s offensive coordinator has calves the size of Mount Nittany, and we’re confident the sheer size of them would outperform a pony in a fight.

A Pollock Testing Center Computer

I don’t know how one of these would fight, but modern technology is smart and could probably take down a pony.

Oliver The Puppy

Despite being an adorable golden retriever that belongs to Penn State women’s hockey player Kendall Butze, Oliver would bring out his true aggressive nature against a pony.

Bo Nickal

This wouldn’t even be close. Former Penn State wrestler and current UFC fighter Bo Nickal would win this fight in an instant.

A Nittany Lion

See you in eight days.
