Clifford and the Nittany Lions will face a tougher challenge in Week 7 as they have to travel to take on Iowa. Iowa just lost to Michigan, but that will likely put a fire in the belly of the Hawkeyes.
Penn State has cruised past every team so far this season outside of an in-state rivalry 17-10 win over Pittsburgh. Penn State-Iowa is scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff time on Saturday, Oct. 12 at Iowa’s Kinnick Stadium. The game will be televised on ABC.
