| Capital One Bowl: Penn State vs. LSU |
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Penn State will meet LSU in the January 1st Capital One Bowl that features the top non-BCS team from the Big Ten and Southeastern conferences.
The No. 11 Nittany Lions and 13th-ranked Tigers both began the season with dreams of landing in a BCS bowl. Penn State even took faint hopes of jumping Iowa for an at-large bid to a BCS bowl into this weekend before the announcement was made Sunday night.
Consider this a consolation.
Joe Paterno will lead his Nittany Lions (10-2) against an LSU (9-3) team full of speed and quickness, the type of SEC matchup that Big Ten teams have struggled with in recent years.
The 82-year-old coach with the most wins in major college football history (393) has a 23-11-1 record in bowl games that will surely be tested.
