The 1913 Penn State Nittany Lions football team represented the Pennsylvania State University in the 1913 college football season.[1] The team was coached by Bill Hollenback and played its home games in New Beaver Field in State College, Pennsylvania. Following a 26-game unbeaten streak for Hollenback (not the program, which had losses in 1910), the Nittany Lions closed out the 1913 season with six straight losses.
