University Park, Pa. — The Blue & White Society and Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics are teaming up to host the traditional Rally in the Valley football pep rally at 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25, in Rec Hall. The Nittany Lion faithful will be pumped up and primed to get ready for the highly anticipated Beaver Stadium Whitehouse game between No. 5/4 Penn State and Iowa (3-0).
The Rally in the Valley will help kickoff Penn State's Big Ten schedule and will feature Coach Joe Paterno, the Penn State football team, Penn State cheerleaders, Lionettes dance team, the Blue Band and the Nittany Lion. T-shirts will be given away at the pep rally.
