When the Penn State and Iowa football programs meet, it is an old-fashioned dog fight. It's a series with scores like 6-4 and 17-12.
While it is not a highly played series, it is circled on most college football betting and Big Ten fans' calendars. In true Big Ten fashion, this series will not be played in 2022, and with the Big Ten schedule for 2023 influx, it is unknown when the series will restart.
Penn State vs. Iowa Series History
While this series dates back to 1930, the two programs have met just 31 times. Penn State leads the all-time series 17-14. The lack of games in this series is two-fold. First, Penn State did not join the Big Ten until the 1994 football season. Second, they have been in separate divisions since 2011, leading to just eight games since 2010.
Penn State has more wins and a better all-time winning percentage but trails Iowa in both claimed national titles and conference titles (one has to be in a conference to win it).
