No. 3 Iowa takes on No. 4 Penn State in one of the best matchups of the day. Both teams are 5-0 and 2-0 in conference play this season with conference supremacy on the line today.

Iowa’s defense has been one of the most dominant defenses in the country. The Hawkeyes have held opponents to 24 points or fewer for 27 games in a row.

Penn State has scored at least 24 points in 4 of the 5 games they have played this season. This season no one has scored more than 17 points on the Hawkeyes. They are the No. 1 team in the country in turnover margin at +12.

The Hawkeyes have some of the best passing coverages in the B1G. Last week Iowa turned Maryland over 7 times, 6 interceptions and 1 fumble.

Former Oklahoma HC Bob Stoops and former LB for Penn State LaVar Arrington break down why the Hawkeye defense has been so dominant:
