Former Nittany Lions re-live Penn State’s thrilling finish to beat Iowa in 2017
Published:
The 2017 matchup between Penn State and Iowa was one of the best contests in the B1G of the decade. It had all the makings for an instant classic.
A primetime contest from Kinnick Stadium provided an electric atmosphere as two of the best teams in the conference went toe-to-toe. Running backs Saquon Barkley and Akrum Wadley were virtually unstoppable most of the night. And to close out the back-and-forth game, the Nittany Lions scored on the final play of the game to secure the victory.
With a little extra time on their hands right now, a few former Nittany Lions who participated in that game re-lived those final moments from Iowa City. A pass from Trace McSorley to Juwan Johnson helped Penn State clinch a 21-19 victory over the Hawkeyes early in the year to keep their B1G title hopes alive.
Below are a handful of former Penn State players re-watching the instant classic from 2017:
"I remember standing right there in my stance and looking through the end zone, and they had the gates unlocked."
