Navy and Penn State plan to renew their football rivalry in 2012.

The schools have announced they will meet at Beaver Stadium on Sept. 15, 2012, in their first game since 1974. Navy won that meeting when former Penn State assistant coach George Welsh led the Midshipmen to a 7-6 upset over No. 8 Penn State in State College.

The Nittany Lions lead the series 18-17-2. The series began in 1894 with a 6-6 tie in Annapolis, Md.

To accommodate the Navy game, a previously announced Penn State home game versus Temple for the same date has been moved to Sept. 22, 2012.
