ALTOONA, Pa. -- I've covered Penn State for 16 years now, so I usually know what to expect from the fan base whenever I write any particular story. Earlier this week, I explained my 5 reasons I'm picking Iowa to beat Penn State, and obviously, I knew that wouldn't go over well with a lot of Nittany Lion fans.
But it's not like I'm disrespecting Penn State here with some bad loss. I picked Iowa to win, 26-23. I happen to believe the Hawkeyes are the slightly better team, plus they're at home.
It should be a good game.
