What's the weather supposed to be like?

Weather in Kinnick Stadium - AccuWeather Forecast for IA 52242

High is 91* - partly cloudy and 8 mph wind
Low is 66* - clear and 4 mph wind

What does Penn State have for WRs? Iowa's DBs are not that great but they have done good vs not goos WRs.

 

[Great Dayne]

PSU has an improved o line from an average o line of last season. They have one of the best RB's and TE's in the nation. Their defense is suspect and QB is a chucker with accuracy issues. Iowa has a good defense and improved QB.

I think Iowa has a good chance, night game at home and all, but the most likely scenario in my mind is PSU by <10

Iowa hasn't lost a home night game in 5 years BUT that was to Penn St. Tough to really discern too much from either of these teams yet. Best win from either team is a road OT win vs a 6-6 type Iowa State team. I think this game will actually tell us a lot about both teams

I keep seeing "Is this a revenge game for Iowa?"

That doesn't make sense to me. PSU was better than Iowa last year. It was at Beaver Stadium. Iowa was really not very good at that time. Penn State should have destroyed Iowa.

To me, getting "revenge" happens vs a team that you should not lose to. Penn State should have won the way they won last year. It is not like Penn State won by controversy. They dominated Iowa. It could very likely happen this weekend.

Franklin isn't a great in-game coach, but Iowa shits the bed in big games.

PSU, but close

Iowa tends to shit the bed in big games they're supposed to win. As underdogs they tend to over perform . I still agree though . PSU close

The closer the game gets, the more I think Iowa is going to get blownout. Normally, I am the other way.

I was out breaking up some tree branches yesterday evening 8ish and sweating my ballz off. Bad humidity in these parts right now.

Iowa will be more used to it (practice) than Penn St.

How is Iowa's defensive line? If Iowa has a good athletic defensive line -- it will be a good game.

Penn State is great when their offense has room to make plays. If you win the defensive line battles, they struggle.

That is how UM dominated them last year.

Iowa is always better than average in the front 7 defensively. I highly doubt they're going to get blown off the ball. Their back 4 are what Penn St will have to exploit.
