Recap: Penn State 30, Iowa 24

Well, they did it!

It wasn’t pretty, but they did it!

Penn State finally closed out the game when leading late.

Saturday’s game against Iowa was far from a work of art, but football is a results business.

The Nittany Lions fell behind early after a bad opening drive and dropped snap by Blake Gilikin led to a blocked punt and a safety.

The Hawkeyes scored a field goal on the ensuing drive to make it 5-0 (funfer!) and then added to that lead on a fake field goal to make it 12-0.

All was lost.
