IOWA CITY, Iowa – Penn State wasn’t supposed to have its throwback game until Indiana visits Beaver Stadium next Saturday.

The Nittany Lions, though, opted to honor their history – their recent history, anyway – during a 21-19 victory against Iowa at Kinnick Stadium Saturday night.

As happened so many times last season, the Nittany Lions’ offense shook off a sluggish first half and putting up the points needed to turn a hotly contested game into a victory.

This finish was more dramatic than most, though, as Juwan Johnson pulled in a seven-yard touchdown pass from Trace McSorley on the final play of the game.
