The 1912 Penn State Nittany Lions football team represented Penn State University during the 1912 college football season. The second of Penn State's retrospective national champions,[1] the team was undefeated and only scored upon once (6 points by Cornell).[2] This team is known for playing the first of a series of games against eventual rival Ohio State, in which the Buckeyes forfeited because of the alleged rough play[3] of the Nittany Lions once the score was 37–0. The official score was 1–0, but the gameball lists the score as 37–0.
