The Nittany Lions are heading on the road to Iowa for the first time this season, and well, tensions are high as the Hawkeyes have a history of pulling off big upsets at night in Kinnick Stadium.

No. 4 Penn State heads to Iowa City for the first time since 2012. We broke down the 3-0 Iowa Hawkeyes ahead of Saturday's primetime matchup.

Our sports staff is pretty confident that the Nittany Lions will pass their first big test of the season.

Ahead of the upcoming nine-game conference slate, we took a glimpse at each of the opponents on Penn State's schedule and how much of a threat they'll be to derail the Nittany Lions hopes of another Big Ten title and possible College Football Playoff run.

For the second week in a row, No. 5 Penn State welcomes a team who features a Panther as its mascot to Beaver Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 on Big Ten Network.
