The 1972 Penn State Nittany Lions represented Pennsylvania State University in the 1972 NCAA University Division football season.
As a result of using ineligible players, the Oklahoma Sooners were ordered to forfeit seven wins from their 1972 season, including their on-field win over the Nittany Lions.
However, Paterno and Penn State refused to accept the forfeit, and the bowl game is officially recorded as a loss.
