The Nittany Lions are 16-12 all-time against Iowa, including victories in the last five meetings.

Trace McSorley threw one touchdown pass to Pat Freiermuth and ran for another, while Yetur Gross-Matos led the defensive effort with nine tackles, including 4.0 tackles for loss and 2.0 sacks.
The last time Penn State visited Kinnick Stadium, the Nittany Lions collected a thrilling 21-19 come-from-behind win. Trace McSorley hit Juwan Johnson on a 7-yard touchdown pass as time expired to claim the win for the Nittany Lions. Saquon Barkley had a record-breaking evening with 211 rushing yards and a program-best 358 all-purpose yards.
