Nittany Lions receiver Jahan Dotson will be of the utmost importance for the Hawkeyes to stop on Saturday and Kirk Ferentz knows it.

He was asked about Dotson and what he does well on the field during his weekly presser on Tuesday. Let’s just say Ferentz knows how great of a player he is with his answer.

Dotson has played in all 5 games for Penn State this season and has been their most consistent receiver. He has touchdowns in every game (6 combined overall) and he’s also gone over 100 yards in 2 of those contests.

He’s on pace to shatter his stats from last year as he already has 446 yards receiving on 35 catches. For reference, Dotson finished the 2020 season with 884 yards and 8 touchdowns on 52 receptions.

If the Hawkeyes can somehow slow him down on Saturday, it would make it that much harder for Penn State to pull off the upset on the road.

Kickoff will be at 4 p.m. ET from Kinnick Stadium and it’ll be televised by FOX.
