Grading Penn State's performance against Iowa in Week 8
Penn State lost another one-possession game, falling to 3-4 on the season. How did the Nittany Lions look against Iowa?
The Iowa Hawkeyes (4-2) take on a conference opponent when they host the Penn State Nittany Lions (3-3) on Saturday, Oct. 18, 2025 at Kinnick Stadium in a Big Ten clash. The two teams are tied ATS (1-1) in those meetings while the scoring has gone over the total on one occasion.
Four in a row. The ceiling has fallen in on the Penn State football program, once ranked No. 2 in the country. Four consecutive losses has the Nittany Lions sitting at 3-4 heading into its second bye week.
A week after James Franklin's firing, the Nittany Lions focused on possibilities. But their inability to close proved to be their downfall.
