Penn State's "white out" crowd was a huge factor and Iowa played poorly in every phase of the game, which is uncharacteristic mostly for Kirk Ferentz teams, since 2015.
Iowa has won 15 of last 16 in November did I read lately
Since 2019, Iowa is #3 in wins behind Michigan and Ohio State, but the past three seasons have lead to OC Brian Ferentz's demise, though his dad is a factor, as well. This is the 25th edition of Kirk Ferentz football at Iowa.
In last year's 27-10 win at Rutgers, Iowa scored 14 points off turnovers, so will the Hawkeyes force turnovers

Keys to game
Iowa Pick-6s will be a factor to watch. Junior CB Cooper DeJean is an outstanding playmaker, wears #3, and he played offense for first time in Iowa's 10-7 win in Wrigley Field against Northwestern.
Former Rivals, now On3sports
@TomKakert of Hawkeye Report has Iowa 13-10, as well. Iowa is 3-0 against Rutgers, since both teams become conference mates.
Special teams and field position will be huge today at Kinnick Stadium.
Iowa didn't give up an offensive TD score against Michigan State. One Iowa concern has been QB Deacon Hill's inability at times to avoid turnovers. Last week, his fumble ended a drive. Another interception, ended a scoring drive, by touchback.
Keys to game, can Iowa's defense continue to keep opponents out of the end-zone❓️
Penn State didn't have explosive offensive plays against Iowa's defense. The next week in Evanston, the Nittany Lions were not clicking outside Happy Valley.
Talk about a tale of two sports. Iowa DC/DB coach Phil Parker has been on Kirk Ferentz's staff for 25 seasons. Both Parker and Ferentz, while in NFL, have ties to Nick Saban in their careers.
Honestly, this is an intriguing match up. Yes, hard to expect another shutout, like the lone 2019 game in Kinnick Stadium when Rutgers meets Iowa.
Could this be the Hawkeyes RB that steps up against Rutgers❓️
Iowa has 3 top RBs, but six have played this season and contributed in scoring.
Explosive plays in any phase of the game could be huge this afternoon in Kinnick Stadium.
Does Iowa finally have their breakout game of the 2023 season or does Rutgers have their first

win over a winning Big Ten program, since 2014
Iowa won their first trophy game of the season in Ames back in September. As the road to Indianapolis continues into November for the top team in the West, since 2020, but reaching the mark hasn't always been obtained.
