‘Incredible honor,’ Penn State senior says of 3 years as Nittany Lion mascot
Mason Reber, a civil engineering major and Army ROTC cadet, led the crowd in a “We Are” chant after being revealed as the man who’s worn the suit for the past three years. Reber, who will graduate in December, was recognized during Senior Day ceremonies before the Penn State football’s game against Nebraska.
And, of course, Penn State was straight up dominating. The defense was flying around and making stops, Ethan Grunkemeyer looked as comfortable as ever, and the Nittany Lions’ run game was back in full swing.
Penn State won 37-10 over Nebraska on Saturday, Nov. 22. Ethan Grunkemeyer led Penn State with 181 yards on 11-of-12 passing (91.7%) for one touchdown and no interceptions. Allen had 160 rushing yards on 25 carries and two touchdowns. Nicholas Singleton had three receptions for 51 yards. He also had seven carries for 44 yards and two touchdowns.
The Quakers contained the Tigers to go scoreless in the second half, as Richardson eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards this season and became the program’s third all-time leader in career receiving yards.

Add in the fact it has not defeated Penn State in 37 years, has lost the last 17 meetings and has only beaten the Nittany Lions once in the past 107 years, and there should be plenty of buzz in the lead up to the game.
Penn State sent 17 wrestlers to the semifinal round and five bouts in the finals were Nittany Lion vs. Nittany Lion. The most surprising of those was at 125 where freshman Nate Desmond knocked off top-ranked Luke Lilledahl 5-3 with a takedown with about 15 seconds left.
