Iowa Football Opponent Preview: Penn State

After a decade of dominating Joe Paterno’s Nittany Lions, the Iowa Hawkeyes have found themselves struggling to defeat Penn State in recent years. Iowa’s last win against the Nittany Lions came in Kinnick Stadium in 2010 and while the Hawkeyes have surprisingly only played Penn State four times since, they have lost each of these contests. Kirk Ferentz will look for his first win against Nittany Lion head coach James Franklin this Saturday in a highly-anticipated matchup between ranked opponents (coincidentally, 2010 was also the last time these two schools met while both ranked in the top 25).
