A reeling Penn State squad is back on the road to face Iowa.
The Nittany Lions have lost three consecutive games, including a 22-21 nail-biting loss against Northwestern, leading to the firing of head coach James Franklin. Even worse, Penn State will be without star quarterback Drew Allar for the rest of the season.
Iowa, meanwhile, is 4-2 and just took down Wisconsin in a 37-0 shutout win. The Hawkeyes are led by quarterback Mark Gronowski, who has thrown for 743 yards and three touchdowns and added 159 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground.
