"After firing James Franklin earlier in the week, the Nittany Lions, playing their first game under interim coach Terry Smith, blew a fourth-quarter lead against Iowa to lose 25-24 and fall to 3-4 on the season -- and 0-4 in the Big Ten. And a visit to No. 1 Ohio State is next on the schedule, after a bye week."
"Iowa trailed 24-19 with 4:56 to play after Penn State's Ryan Barker kicked a 32-yard field goal, but Gronowski ran 67 yards on the first play after the ensuing kickoff, setting up Wetjen's run one play later. Gronowski missed on the two-point conversion pass, giving the Nittany Lions a chance to take the lead. Iowa's defense then stopped Penn State near midfield, blitzing quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer on fourth down at the Penn State 49 and forcing an incomplete pass."
Penn State lost to Iowa 25-24, extending a four-game losing streak and falling to 3-4 overall and 0-4 in Big Ten play. The game was the Nittany Lions' first under interim coach Terry Smith following James Franklin's firing. Iowa quarterback Mark Gronowski rushed for a career-high 130 yards and two touchdowns, and Kaden Wetjen scored the go-ahead 8-yard touchdown with 3:54 remaining after a 67-yard kickoff return by Gronowski. Iowa's defense stopped Penn State on a fourth-down incompletion late, and Gronowski sealed the win with a 14-yard run to run out the clock. Kaytron Allen rushed for 145 yards and two touchdowns for Penn State, and a blocked 66-yard field-goal attempt was returned 35 yards for a touchdown by Elliot Washington II.
