Ladies and gentlemen, this is the moment you’ve all been waiting for. After months of anticipation and waiting, it is finally time for your Big Ten Main Event. Live from the sold-out White Out crowd in Happy Valley, it is Iowa vs. Penn State.
Both competitors enter this contest with their hopes up high and their heads down low. The goal for Iowa and Penn State is simple: win the Big Ten Championship. They knew that the path to lifting that trophy in Indianapolis is a long and arduous journey, with one slip-up possibly costing you your season. They stand as massive obstacles in each other’s paths, every game counting for Penn State, especially in a division with Ohio State and Michigan.
These two Big Ten titans know each other very well, playing nearly annually since 2016. Kirk Ferentz has seen the Nittany Lions more times than you can count on one hand. The last time these two met was back in 2021, a grueling 23-20 victory at Kinnick Stadium for the Hawkeyes. This time the stage is set at Beaver Stadium, the famed White Out night game for the Nittany Lions.
In a game that could have postseason implications, here is your tale of the tape ahead of another battle between Iowa and Penn State.
