IOWA 23, PENN STATE 20: IT’S NOT HEAVEN, IT’S IOWA

Down 13-3 early in the first half against the No. 4 Penn State Nittany Lions, things looked grim for Spencer Petras and the No. 3 Iowa Hawkeyes in Kinnick Stadium. Petras was struggling to get things moving against a stout Penn State defense, and on the opposite end of the field, Sean Clifford and his offense were making mistakes but moving down the field with relative ease.

That is, until Jack Campbell found ad big opening on a critical third down and brought Clifford down to his field, a hit that would take him out of the game and change the course of things in favor of the Hawkeyes, who turned things around to pull out a 23-20 victory in Kinnick Stadium.
