With Iowa being favorites in this one, let’s look back at the last time Iowa beat Penn State. It was on February 8, 2015. The Nittany Lions were four-time defending national champions, but this was the infamous “punt-year” for Penn State where they opted to redshirt returners Zain Retherford and Nico Megaludis and some incoming freshmen named Jason Nolf and Bo Nickal.
Despite this, Penn State was still ranked #6 in the country and still put up a good fight against #1 Iowa, coming away with some big upsets. However, it came down to heavyweight, with the Hawkeyes ultimately earning an 18-12 victory. Check out the full match results with highlights below.
