Today's Penn State football news headlines feature predictions for Saturday night's showdown with Iowa and a closer look at the two talented running backs expected to run the show for both offenses.
The Sports Illustrated staff acknowledged the danger Iowa presents as a nearly two-touchdown underdog, but they all picked the Lions to win. Frank Bodani of the York Daily Record wondered if the Lions' weapons will be too much, and Ben Kercheval of CBS Sports outlined Iowa's run of success against top-5 teams. SB Nation's Bill Connelly wrote that Iowa's ability to neutralize the Lions' pass rush could be the Hawkeyes' biggest advantage.
