The1964 Penn State Nittany Lions football team represented thePennsylvania State University in the1964 NCAA University Division football season. The team was coached byRip Engle and played its home games inBeaver Stadium inUniversity Park, Pennsylvania.

The team started the season poorly, giving up more than 20 points in each of four losses in their first five games before coming together defensively in the second half of the season. A total of just 24 points were given up in the final five games, helping the Nittany Lions to win out and finish the year with a winning record.

Particularly notable for the Nittany Lions in 1964 would be a 27–0 upset shutout of #2 rankedOhio State atColumbus.

Penn State linemanGlenn Ressler, a particularly stout defender who would go on to have a 10-year career in theNational Football League, would receive theMaxwell Award as college football's best all-around player of 1964.[1]

Penn State's strong play down the stretch against top-level competition was sufficient to secure for it the 1964Lambert Trophy, awarded annually to the top collegiate football team in the East despite the school's 6–4 season record.[2]
