Let the ESPN hype begin..........IOWA @ PENN STATE

[Fishhead]

HUGE revenge game for the Nittany Lions.

Iowa brings a seven game winning streak into the game, a streak that started with their upset of the Nittany Lions last season at Kinnick Stadium, a loss that cost the Lions a chance to play in the BCS title game possibly.

I should have a tremendous feel on this game as the week progresses.......

Should be a good one under the lights...........

Neither team is anything special.

Neither team is anything special.

I think both teams are anywhere from the 18th-28th best teams in the nation..............at this time.

[BestPlay2day]

Going to be a good game, should find out a lot about both teams after this one. Penn St is a -10 right now.

How is PSU ranked 5th when Iowa is 31st???

The Hawkeyes have won 7 in a row, including a bowl win and VICTORY OVER PSU in that streak...........this with a team that returns a vast majority of their starters from last years club(and yes, I know Shonn Greene was a big part of that).

Is Iowa/PSU an ESPN game? or ABC national?

It is the primetime national game I believe......not sure, but it may be the ESPN GAMEDAY game, as the crew may be at PSU for this game, as it appears this is the best match-up for primetime on Saturday.

[MartinBlank]

ABC also has Purdue/ND. So I wasn't sure which game gets the ESPN 2 treatment.

It sure does look like it will be a good game though.

Official

PENN STATE vs. IOWA is the ESPN GAMEDAY winner..........the crew will be broadcasting from Happy Valley all day.

By the way, Iowa is ranked 7th in the recently released SAGARIN ratings.............

Fair enough.

Line moving down...........+10 to +9.5



I made the game +8 Sunday afternoon............think I made a great line.

[Shortstop]

Penn State win by 11.

[Fishhead]

I will have my prediction on Friday............

[CaneDawg]

two slow teams

hard to get excited about this

both over rated

[moses millsap]

penn state more overrated though

[Fishhead]

both over rated

If they are so slow on defense, how come teams can't score on Iowa???

By the way, it appears Iowa will once again be without the services of three key offensive players for this game(they missed ARI game also).

ALL-AMERICAN OT BULAGA
Leading reciever TE MOEKI
WR Johnson

Add to this list preseason projected #1 RB Jewell Hampton who was lost just before the season started.

If, a big if, Iowa defeats PSU, coach Ferentz will once again be one of the leading contenders for coach of the year honors.

[Chi_archie]

two of the best lb's in the big ten are banged up for PSU, not sure what there status is now, but Bowman and Lee both hurt their knees I believe.... I think Bowman is gonna play though, last I heard

[element1286]

I hope Iowa kicks the shit out of Penn St, I'm sick of all the Penn St. fans around with such a sense of entitlement.

i lost last 2 weeks in a row betting on penn st spread line and over, wont do the same mistake again
