Hawkeye Penn St. Preview

Well i'm about to leave for the Iowa game and thought i would give a preview before i left. Penn State is 9-0, and iowa is 5-4. But like i've already said, 12 more points and this is a different season with a 9-0 Hawkeye team. Both defenses are very good with Penn State's a little better if you look at the stats. Penn State's defense had given up an average of 11.1 points a game and Iowa has given up 13. Offense is a little different though. Penn State has a very dominant offense averaging more than 225 yards rushing and 230 yards passing a game. That is very diverse and also a lot of yardage. The Iowa offense on the other hand is a little banged up with star Shonn Greene having some problems with his ankle and also a few problems with the O-line. Seth Olsen might return from a sprained ankle and his backup, Andy Kuempel, is probably not going to play because of a shoulder injury. This is not the game to be banged up. But even with that, a few experts who pick who's going to win have picked Iowa as the victor since they are two very close teams, and Iowa needs the win.
