We recently saw the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/teams\/tennessee-volunteers\/\">Tennessee Volunteers<\/a><\/strong> do something similar, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/teams\/tennessee-volunteers\/news\/tennessee-adidas-apparel-contract-10-years-vols-football\/\"><strong>signing a 10-year deal with Adidas<\/strong><\/a> back in mid-August. Adidas adding a prominent program from the SEC is now followed up by snagging one of the Big Ten\u2019s most recognizable brands.<\/p>\n<p>Penn State signing on with Nike in 1993 coincides with the Nittany Lions joining the Big Ten. A ton of success has followed, including four conference championships. Trips out to the Rose Bowl have taken place four times, two of which resulted in victories.<\/p>\n<p>If the school\u2019s Board of Trustees does wind up approving the deal, Adidas will be hoping Penn State can achieve similar accolades.

Making the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/category\/college-football-playoff\/news\/\"><strong>College Football Playoff<\/strong><\/a> semifinal was a great step but everyone in Happy Valley expects to go one or two further. National championship expectations are certainly on the Nittany Lions.<\/p>\n<p>Week 1 provided a nice start. Penn State pulled off a routine win against <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/college\/nevada-wolf-pack\/\">Nevada<\/a><\/strong>, never really having a game on its hands. Much of the same can presumably be said over the next two weeks with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/college\/fiu-golden-panthers\/\">FIU<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/college\/villanova-wildcats\/\">Villanova<\/a><\/strong> coming to Beaver Stadium.
