WATCH: LaVar Arrington just wants Penn State to beat this Big Ten nemesis
Penn State’s Blue-White Game saw a number of notable guests patrolling the sideline, including one of the program’s best players to ever suit up at the linebacker position. LaVar Arrington was enjoying his return to the Blue-White Game and took some time to speak to former quarterback Matt McGloin during the second half of the spring game.
Arrington was having a great time soaking in the atmosphere of the Blue-White Game.
Arrington admitted to McGloin, who was providing sideline commentary and interviews for Big Ten Network, that he has not yet studied the current roster of Nittany Lions, and thus was not ready to make any predictions about what to expect this fall from his alma mater. But Arrington did have one thing he was hoping to see from Penn State in 2022.
Beat Ohio State.
“I’m just hoping we have a year, honestly, where we beat Ohio State,” Arrington said in his sideline interview on Big Ten Network. “I just want to beat Ohio State.”
Ohio State has perennially been the team to beat in the Big Ten. Although Michigan did just that en route to a Big Ten championship and spot in the College Football Playoff last season, the Buckeyes are still the program most figure is the favorite to win the Big Ten in 2022, and Arrington already has his eyes locked on Penn State’s biggest obstacle in the Big Ten East.
Penn State hosts Ohio State on Saturday, Oct. 29. Penn State has lost five consecutive meetings with the Buckeyes, and Ohio State has taken nine of the last 10 games in the series.
