The Penn State Icers will play in the first-ever College Winter Classic when they take on Neumann University at 8 p.m. tomorrow night at Citizens Bank Park. Here's what you need to know if you're planning on going.
Penn State really did not have a chance on a day when Houston quarterback Case Keenum nearly set the record for most completions in a bowl game. The Nittany Lions could not muster enough offense to keep up in a 30-14 loss in the TicketCity Bowl in Dallas.

Neither the teams nor the aforementioned player were supposed to be in Dallas for this game. Now, Rob Bolden has the chance to retake the starting quarterback position once again.
