Everyone is talking about the Iowa Defense against the Penn State Offense but nobody seems to mention that the Penn State Defense is actually pretty good too. Since all we hear about is defense we will probably have a score fest on our hands. Partially kidding. This one is going to come down to turnovers. Penn State must make Iowa run the length of the field to score. No mid field 4th down attempts. Punt and make Iowas offense beat you. We need the Sean Clifford who played Auburn and not Indiana. If we get that Penn State wins it.

I don’t believe Iowa has seen the speed they will today.
Protect the football. As Lou Holtz, holding up a football, once told his team: "Gentlemen, this is a football. You can't win the game without holding on to one!"
While I predicted something like 20-13 PSU I really feel like this is a toss up game. Now if Iowa was playing Cincinnati, OK, OSU, Oregon or UM and i was rooting for Iowa they would lose like they usually do. They are a 10 team not a 3. The question is whether PSU is a top 5 team and if they can get thru this schedule with 1 loss then they have proven they are. I really think PSU would do better with PSU's schedule than Iowa.
But I have blue colored glasses and that pink visitors locker room is worth 3 point in addition to home field advantage. Personally that trick would make me a little more aggressive if anything. I'm sure Lou Holtz would use the pink locker room for motivation. It is just bulletin board material.
