Ohio State couldn’t do it.  Minnesota couldn’t do it.  But the Hawkeyes did.  Iowa beat a top 10 ranked opponent Saturday by beating Penn State 21 – 10 in Happy Valley.  Iowa, now 4-0, never gave up and when the 4^th quarter began they trailed 10-5.  The Hawkeyes scored 16 points in the 4^th quarter fueled by great defensive play.  Defensive end Ardian Clayborn started the scoring with a 53 yard blocked punt return to give Iowa an 11-10 lead.  Then as Penn State was driving down the field PSU, QB Daryll Clark was picked off.  Iowa took over and Adam Robinson eventually scored on a 13 yard run.  K Daniel Murray kicked a 31 yard FG with 8 seconds left to seal the 21-10 victory for Iowa.  Robinson ended the night with 88 yards rushing, 46 receiving and a TD.  Freshman Brandon Wegher rushed for 73 yards.  QB Ricky Stanzi didn’t have the best night throwing 2 interceptions and passing for 135 yards.  The Nittany Lions scoring leaders included QB Daryll Clark passing for 198 yards, 1 TD and 3 interceptions.  Chaz Powell caught 1 TD and had 96 yards on the night.  Read the rest of this entry →
