The Iowa Hawkeyes (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten) battle the Penn State Nittany Lions (3-3, 0-3 Big Ten) at Kinnick Stadium this week.
Last weekend, the Penn State program shocked the college football world by firing long-time head coach James Franklin.
The Nittany Lions have struggled against ranked teams during Franklin's tenure, including a 4-21 record against top 10 teams.
After a hard-fought loss to Oregon at home, Penn State dropped two-straight games to 0-4 UCLA and 3-2 Northwestern, both unranked opponents.
Following the loss to Northwestern, the program sacked Franklin the next day and named Terry Smith as interim coach.
