Iowa and Penn State don’t play each other for another 3 weeks, but the anticipation is already building.
The Hawkeyes announced the game at Kinnick Stadium has sold out — meaning 70,000 or so fans are expected to be in attendance. Game time for that matchup hasn’t even been set yet.

It’s easy to understand why fans have their tickets in hand already. The Hawkeyes and Nittany Lions are both ranked in the Top 10 of the AP Top 25, and both teams picked up important B1G wins in their first conference games in Week 1.
The game is sure to be one of the most intriguing of the B1G slate. But there are still 3 games left before that one kicks off, so we’ll see how much more hype the showdown gets over the next few weeks.
