PENN STATE 21, IOWA 19: A gut-punching loss

Related Topics: Trace McSorley, Iowa

This wasn’t the ending I predicted.

On 4th and Goal at the Iowa 7, Trace McSorley found Juwan Johnson at the back of the end zone for his first-career touchdown reception to give the No. 4 Nittany Lions a 21-19 walkoff victory at Kinnick Stadium.

Is there a more devastating way to lose a game?

No, no there’s not.

After last year’s embarrassment in Happy Valley, I didn’t think this game would be even close. But then the Hawkeyes went into half time with a 7-5 lead, despite 54 yards of total offense in the first half.
