***Official Penn State @ Iowa Prediction Thread***

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

If the last two games are any indication we have a lot of work to do between now and 6:30pm Saturday. My guess is Butler is out and Wadley is questionable.

Penn State - 39
Iowa - 17

Hope I am wrong.

2009 Penn State. They were good. 11-2. They had not really been tested in OOC, or played anyone. Jump ahead to the 2017 Penn State version. They are good. They are talented. Who exactly have they played, and have they been tested in OOC? Possibly the rivalry game against Pitt.

2009 Iowa. They were tested in OOC. Bigly tested.

Sometimes these things matter greatly in the college game.

Commit everything to stopping the run and make McSorley beat you with his arm. Iowa might have a chance if they can get PSU into 3rd and 5+ situations.

Keep Barkley out of space, otherwise he'll win the one-on-one matchups with our LBs and safeties.

Iowa owned Penn State when Paterno was coach because Iowa was better at playing that style of game. Sense Penn State has switched up the offense they have had easy time with Iowa. I have a feeling that Iowa will have trouble keeping Penn States athleticism at bay. I will however give Iowa points because if he home field advantage.

Penn State: 38
Iowa: 28

Iowa compared to PSU the last 3 weeks

PSU
Akron W - 52-0
Pitt W - 33 - 14
Georgia State 56 - 3 (Adding the 3 spit Franklin)

Iowa
Wyoming W - 24 - 3
ISU W - 44 - 41
North Texas W - 31 - 14

Iowa has the only road win between the two. I am not sure PSU has proven anything concrete to make me think it will be a blowout. However, it is going to take Iowa playing a near perfect game to come away with a win.

My prediction is PSU 24 - 17
