Penn State LB Ellis Brooks calls loss to Iowa ‘humbling moment’
Published:
Penn State suffered a tough 23-20 loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes Saturday, sending the Nittnay Lions to their first loss of the season and allowing the Hawkeyes to become the front-runners in the Big Ten.
After the game, Hawkeye fans stormed the field, and rather than just leave during the celebration, Penn State linebacker Ellis Brooks stayed on the field and watched the celebration.
His reasons why are simple: he wanted to remember this moment so it won’t happen again.

The Nittany Lions lead this game early on but a furious Iowa comeback ended their hopes of an undefeated season.
Penn State has time to lick their wounds as they have a bye week Saturday before facing Illinois on October 23rd.
