Penn State is coming of a big road win over Purdue this past weekend. The Nittany Lions now have a four-game winning streak and will look to keep it going this week against the Iowa Hawkeyes.

Most of the coverage today focuses on the win over the Boilermakers. With the win, the Nittany Lions have moved up four spots in the AP Poll and also find themselves in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll. Next, there are grades for the win in West Lafayette and a closer look at the quick-strike offense.
