Game Thread: #4 Penn State (3-0) at Iowa (3-0) - 6:30 pm CST - ABC

[WizardHawk]

I've got this one and ND/MSU on the other, I think ND/MSU will be switched soon because it's going to be a blowout it seems

I don't have any money on this one, but my son is a senior at Penn State so I very much have a rooting interest. I'll keep watching until it's well in hand.

You know how these road games go. Slow start, but they will wear them down and run away with it late. The over? Maybe not the best call.

I've got the under, it is absolutely pouring rain in Colorado

Iowa is getting blown out 3-0.

Its a barn burner!!!

Once again Penn State gets naithin' but penetration. Incredible play by our D. I wasn't expecting quite this good.

I kind of hope UW's game is a defensive battle. With Pettis and our punt return blocking unit they should come out well ahead in any kind of field position type of battle. We will take any edge we can right?

Iowa receiver wanted to drop that but it stuck anyway.

I second this. Might throw a game on the computer. Some decent other ones on. Just finishing cooking.

Question:
Did Iowa steal the Pittsburgh Steelers look or was it the other way around?

If it's anywhere near as bad as the weather at the Air Force game, Pettis' job will be moving out of the way because he can't see the ball in the sheets of rain

Well they do call them the steelers don't they? I guess that's what they stole?

 

[Churchillin]

I had started to believe that Ferentz Jr. was going to be less predictable. I guess that was just against scrub teams.

Good question. I know Iowa has been playing football much longer than the Steelers so???

Oh, I meant they will win that battle because you'd have to have a damned screw loose to kick it to him. There is almost no chance they will boot it his way. He has 3 straight games with a TD off a return and holds the NCAA record for consecutive games and tied record for career returns.

Rain or not they won't kick to him unless they are really really dumb.

I also like UW's run defense a lot. Victor becomes hugely important in a bad weather mostly running game sort of affair. Not sure they would cover, but I like their odds of winning such a game.

I was ready to get real defensive and then I laughed

I'm not surprised Iowa's offense is struggling, their best RB is playing hurt and their other good RB is out.

They don't have much of a QB
