3
downs
to help Iowa pull away aAer trailing
by three points late in the third quarter.
Penn State's last visit to Iowa City
worked out pretty well, as the Nittany
Lions throttled the Hawkeyes, 38-14, in
2012. Their most recent meeting worked
out pretty well, too. Penn State dominated
Iowa, 41-14, at Beaver Stadium last fall,
and that game will likely be on the minds
of this year's Hawkeyes as they prepare for
the rematch.
Penn State's victory over Georgia State
may not have revealed much about this
team's potential that wasn't already
known, but it was still a nice springboard
into the conference season.
"I'm pleased overall," Franklin said.
"There are a bunch of stats and numbers
here that I could go over, but the most im-
portant thing is that we came out and
played a complete game. We got a bunch
of players in the game and gained valuable
experience. We'll enjoy this for fewer
hours than normal [because the game did-
n't end until nearly midnight], and then
we'll start focusing on the next opponent."
