Iowa does it again: Hawkeyes add another INT to impressive total early vs. Penn State
Iowa has one of the best defenses in the country and proved that once again early in their matchup against No. 4 Penn State.
The Hawkeyes notched its 13th interception of the season when Sean Clifford made an ill-advised throw from the end-zone. He was rolling out to his left and was about to be sacked before he was intercepted by Jestin Jacobs.

Iowa took over at its own 8-yard-line and had a prime shot to go up a touchdown, but Penn State’s defense stood tall. They held the Hawkeyes to a field goal after Petras couldn’t find anyone open in the end-zone on back-to-back plays.
Coming into this game, Jacobs hadn’t recorded an interception thus far this season but had 28 total tackles (16 solo) with 1 forced fumble and 1 pass defended.
