KIRK SPEAKS: PENN STATE

It’s a big week in the Iowa Football world.

This weekend’s upcoming game against the Penn State Nittany Lions was penciled into many fans (including my own) calendars as a big fat L at the beginning of the season. Penn State was a highly ranked team with CFP aspirations.

Now, the Penn State Nittany Lions have suffered two losses, at the hands of Ohio State and Michigan State, and also barely hung on to beat an Indiana team that Iowa pummeled into the ground. To say the fan expectation has shifted is an understatement. And after the Wisconsin loss that still hurts my heart to this day, this game is a must win for Iowa to keep its chances of.
