The Land Grant Trophy is presented to the winner of each football game between Penn State and Michigan State.
[edit] History
Started in 1993, the Nittany Lions and Spartans play each other for the trophy in the last week of Big Ten Conference play. The trophy was designed by former Michigan State coach, George Perles. The trophy 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 the nation's oldest land-grant universities, hence the name for the trophy. They are also the most recent additions to the Big Ten.
