[edit] Summary
The Land Grant Trophy is presented to the winner of each football game between Penn State and Michigan State.
[edit] History
Since Penn State joined the Big Ten Conference in 1993, the Nittany Lions and Spartans have played each other for the trophy in the last week of conference play. The trophy, designed by former Michigan State coach George Perles, features pictures of Penn State's Old Main and Michigan State's Beaumont Tower. Penn State won the most recent meeting between the two by a score of 17 to 13 on November 18, 2006 at Beaver Stadium. Currently, Penn State leads the overall series at 12-11-1, though many of the games were played prior to Penn State joining the Big Ten and are thus not included in the trophy count. Michigan State has not won at Beaver Stadium since 1965.
Penn State University and Michigan State University are among the nation's oldest land-grant universities, hence the name for the trophy. They are also the most recent additions to the Big Ten. Fellow Big Ten members Illinois, Minnesota, Ohio State, Purdue and Wisconsin are also land-grant schools.
