Summary
Northwestern opened its new Ryan Field with a 34-13 Big Ten win over Penn State, handing the Nittany Lions a second loss that dents their conference title hopes.
506 total yards powered the Wildcats, who ran for 413 behind Joseph Himon II's two touchdowns and built control early with 278 first-half yards.
50 yards from Jackson Kleather produced the first points in the new stadium, and Northwestern led 24-7 before Penn State missed a 45-yard field-goal chance before halftime.
The $875 million venue opened 100 years to the day after the original Ryan Field debuted, giving Northwestern a statement result after its temporary stay in a lakeside makeshift stadium.
