Penn State-Iowa 'trap game' talk has begun; Hawkeyes aren't focused on 'revenge factors,' and more

Today's Penn State football news headlines feature early "trap game" talk for the road trip to Iowa and a look at what "revenge" means to the Hawkeyes.

CBS Sports analyst Barton Simmons laid out all the ingredients in play for Penn State to struggle in its trip to Iowa City. He compared this matchup to the upset the Hawkeyes sprung on Michigan late last season, which kept the Wolverines out of the College Football Playoff. The Lions enter this one as nearly two-touchdown favorites and should expect Iowa's "best shot," Simmons said.

Iowa has a new quarterback and a new offensive coordinator in Brian Ferentz, but Wadley is back.
