The UCF Knights beefed up their schedule for 2013, dropping the home game against Bethune-Cookman and adding the trip to Happy Valley to play the Nittany Lions on Sept. 14.

In addition to playing at Penn State this upcoming season, the Knights will also host Penn State at Brighthouse Networks stadium in 2014, replacing the home game against Jacksonville State.

The 2013 game will be the third overall meeting between the schools, but this will be the first without late head coach Joe Paterno. Penn State won both previous meetings in 2002 (27-24) and 2004 (37-13).

The addition of Penn State completes UCF’s out of conference play schedule and also their schedule for the 2013 football season.
