    Please tell me how Penn State can possibly
    stay in the game with Iowa? I am a Penn State fan, however I can't see how they can stay in this game especially now with the revamped line and a really young qb. I have been playing for a long time so I know anything can happen but this game stands out to me. Iowa home, excellent D line, P State very young at key positions and a relatively low line. What am I missing?

    Us PSU fans watch them struggle year in and year out against Iowa. This is definitely a "rebuilding" year for them, and I don't see them doing anything special against this tough Iowa team. They struggled and barely pulled it out against Temple...

      Im with you guys, I live in State College, Iowa will roll them and I think it will be embarrassing. They have been struggling with weak teams and lets face it Bama was showing respect for Paterno and held back. Iowa will be my big bet for the week.

      Plus I look at Penn State as a team that is usually way over rated year in and year out.

        They'll need a mobile Bolden (not his strength imo) and better corner play. I don't see it happening either.

          We saw what happens to Penn State when they can't run the ball (Alabama) and against Iowa, the story will be the same. Iowa's strength on defense is stopping the run and if they put the game on Bolden, they know they'll have an excellent chance to win.

          I don't see Penn State winning or covering this game. It will be nip-tuck for a while but the Hawkeyes are just better in almost every area and they are at home.

            I was considering it to be my biggest play of the year so far. Maybe buy .5. And then if P State wins I can try and appease myself by thinking--well your team won anyway. lol

            But I too cannot see them staying in this game. Might really hit the first half line. I am expecting Iowa to get off to a quick start.

              If they can stop Iowa from scoring they can steal the game in the 4th Q. Iowa can't close games.

                  This has been very true the past couple of years.

                  6 points, two fg's I am assuming. Yep, PS is good at kicking fg's. Very possible score, I think

                    Iowa's defense is incredibly good.........a DL that has no equal in CFB, that goes 5 players deep.

                            this is going to be a closer game, both teams need the win here. 2 great coaches, revenge from last year, but the exp @ qb will take it
