This afternoon, Yankee Stadium will host the 2025 Pinstripe Bowl, showcasing the excitement of college football once again.
The matchup features the Clemson Tigers going up against the Penn State Nittany Lions. For Clemson, this will be their inaugural game at Yankee Stadium, while Penn State previously triumphed in the 2014 Pinstripe Bowl, winning in an overtime thriller against Boston College.
Both teams had aspirations for playoff contention earlier in the season, but they ultimately settled for bowl eligibility by the regular season’s end.
Clemson wrapped up with a 7-5 record, entering this afternoon’s game on a four-game winning streak. In contrast, Penn State started strong with three wins but faced substantial struggles mid-season. They ended up at 6-6 after losing five consecutive games, which led to the dismissal of head coach James Franklin.
