11-12-1881 at Lewisburg W, 9-0

This game is not officially recgonized by Penn State (or Bucknell) as ever being played and does not count toward Penn State's official win total because as the late Penn State historian Lou Prato wrote his Penn State Football Encyclopedia "Penn State College students organized the team without administrative support."

Penn State would not field a team again until 1887, which is recgonized in Penn State's record book as the "start" of Penn State football.
