5 things to watch in Saturday’s Penn State-Iowa game

The No. 17 Nittany Lions (5-2) take on No. 18 Iowa (6-1) in Happy Valley at 3:30 p.m. Saturday. Here are five things you should keep an eye on.

No mo’ Josey

What most remember about Penn State’s thrilling 21-19 win over Iowa last year was Juwan Johnson’s game-winning catch and Saquon Barkley’s 358 all-purpose yards. But man, Iowa linebacker Josey Jewell played like a man possessed. The Big Ten’s leading tackler racked up 16 stops, three tackles for loss, two breakups, an interception and a fumble recovery.

However, he’s no longer a Hawkeye. Jewell is with the Denver Broncos, and that’s good news for the Nittany Lions.
