Coming off this weekend's huge win at Iowa, excitement for Saturday's White Out against Ohio State is at an all time high. In preparation for an expected larger-than-average turnout, Nittanyville will begin Monday night.
Penn State's 38-14 blowout victory over the Iowa Hawkeyes last night at Kinnick Stadium earned the Nittany Lions some additional votes in the latest AP Top 25 Poll. They remain unranked, but received 18 votes, up from the one vote they were given the past two weeks.
A dominant performance from start to finish. It is difficult to come up with a better way to describe what transpired at Kinnick Stadium tonight. When it was over, the scoreboard showed a 38-14 victory for Penn State. Those numbers show a blowout victory for the Nittany Lions (5-2, 3-0) over the Iowa Hawkeyes (4-3, 2-1), and yet, they still do not tell just how much of a smackdown it was.
Happy Saturday afternoon! Hopefully everyone is enjoying some of the early college football action leading up to tonight's game in Kinnick Stadium where the Penn State Nittany Lions (4-2, 2-0) are set to take on the Iowa Hawkeyes (4-2, 2-0) in a battle of two teams with unblemished conference records to this point. The Hawkeyes are led by Kirk Ferentz, the longest tenured coach in the Big Ten, who has walked the sidelines since in Iowa City since 1999. Bill O'Brien will be looking for his fifth consecutive victory in his first season with the Nittany Lions. Below is all of the information and media coverage for tonight's contest.
In anticipation of what is sure to be a hostile environment at Kinnick Stadium tonight when the Iowa Hawkeyes (4-2, 2-0) host the Penn State Nittany Lions (4-2, 2-0), University of Iowa Student Government (UISG) sent a mass email to all Iowa students Friday afternoon encouraging good sportsmanship and no booing when the Nittany Lions take the field. UISG president Nichols Pottebaum talked to us to explain the reasoning and timing behind the email.
Guy Gadowsky, the head of the Penn State Nittany Lions Division 1 hockey team, wants his team to know that goals, statistics, and saves -- in other words, the stat sheet -- is not what's most important to him. Instead, Gadowsky believes that hard work is what makes a good hockey team, and he is using a symbolic gesture in the form of a hard hat to pass that message on to his players.
