Penn State is 16-12 all-time against Iowa, including victories in the last five meetings.

The last time Penn State visited Iowa City, the Nittany Lions collected a thrilling 21-19 come-from-behind win. Trace McSorley hit Juwan Johnson on a 7-yard touchdown pass as time expired to claim the win for the Nittany Lions. Saquon Barkley had a record-breaking evening with 211 rushing yards and a program-best 358 all-purpose yards.
