The 1912 Penn State Nittany Lions football team represented Penn State University during the 1912 college football season. The second of Penn State's retrospective national champions, the team was undefeated and only scored upon once (6 points by Cornell). This team is known for playing the first of a series of games against eventual rival Ohio State, in which the Buckeyes forfeited because of the brutal play of the Nittany Lions once the score was 37–0. The official score is 1–0, but the gameball lists the score as 37–0.
