Iowa City, Iowa — An improving Iowa offense faces a difficult test when the third ranked Hawkeyes host number-four Penn State.
The Nittany Lion defense ranks second in the Big Ten by giving up just 12 points per game. Iowa quarterback Spencer Petras says it is a more veteran unit than the Hawkeyes faced in a 41-21 win in State College last year.
Penn State has not lost since falling to the Hawkeyes last year.
Junior tight end Sam LaPorta says the Nittany Lions have an improved defense.
LaPorta says the Hawkeye offense is gaining confidence after a lopsided win at Maryland.
Junior center Tyler Linderbaum says he enjoys getting ready for a game of this magnitude.
Linderbaum says the Nittany Lions are used to playing in big games.
