Iowa at Penn State recap: Scores, updates, highlights from Penn State's 31-0 shutout win
WELCOME BACK. A CRUSHING LOSS IN HAPPY VALLEY FOR THE HAWKEYES. WE HAVE JEFF DUBROF LIVE AT BEAVER STADIUM TONIGHT AFTER THE 31 ZIP BLOWOUT, WE’RE GOING TO CHECK IN WITH JEFF IN JUST A MOMENT AND HEAR FROM THE HAWKEYES. BUT THE NARRATIVE GOING IN THERE WAS THAT IOWA COULD WIN A GAME LIKE THIS WITH GREAT DEFENSE AND MAKING JUST ENOUGH PLAYS ON OFFENSE. BUT YOU GOT TO MAKE SOME PLAYS. AND THAT OFFENSE GENERATED A TOTAL OF ZERO POINTS. THIS WAS A DEBACLE IN FRONT. OF 110,830 FANS, 110,000 PLUS SIX AND MOST IN STADIUM HISTORY. IOWA GOT THE BALL FIRST. IT SHOWED SOME SPARK. THIRD AND SEVEN. WE GOT A FIRST DOWN. CADE MCNAMARA TO ERIC ALL EVEN KNEW HE WOULD HAVE A BIG ROLE IN THIS WITH LUKE LASHAY OUT FOR THE YEAR THEN KAY THROWS TWO STRAIGHT INCOMPLETIONS AS IOWA FORCED TO PUNT IT SO TORI TAYLOR WOULD PIN THEM. TORI TAYLOR WAS GREAT TONIGHT. THE IOWA DEFENSE STARTED OUT HOT. PENN STATE UNABLE TO MOVE IT IN THE RAY AND THAT’S KYLER FISHER MAKING PLAYS WITH THE NICE TACKLE THEY FORCED PENN STATE TO A THREE AND OUT SO IOWA GETS THE BALL BACK SECOND POSSESSION CADE GET A FIND HIS MAIN MAN FOR MICHIGAN ERIC ALL WITH A TOUCHDOWN 12 YARD GAIN BUT THE BALL IS RIPPED AWAY A MAD SCRAMBLE FOR THE PIGS SKIN IMPOSSIBLE TO HOLD ON TO THAT THING. WHO’S GOT IT? THE HOME TEAM COMES AWAY. CURTIS JACOBS COMES AWAY WITH IT AND THEN PENN STATE’S GOING TO GO 17 PLAYS 53 YARDS AND FINISH IT WITH A ALEX FELKINS 46 YARD FIELD GOAL. PENN STATE’S ON THE BOARD UP THREE. NOTHING EARLY SECOND QUARTER WE SAW HOW GOOD DREW ALLER IS. PENN STATE’S STAR QUARTERBACK TO CARLISLE DINKINS RIGHT ON THE MONEY TEN NOTHING PENN STATE AT THE HALF IOWA HAD ONLY TWO FIRST DOWNS AND 63 TOTAL YARDS IN THE HALF. STILL IOWA DOWN JUST TEN. NOTHING REALLY IN IT. THIRD QUARTER NOW PENN STATE’S MOVING THE BALL ALLERTON KEANDRE LAMBERT SMITH. AS THEY’RE GETTING BY THE PILE ON FIRST DOWN AND THEN ALLAR IS GOING TO FIND TYLER WARREN, WHO WAS A STAR IN THESE WHITEOUT GAMES. A SEVEN YARD TOUCHDOWN TO WARREN HAD TWO TOUCHDOWNS IN THE SECOND HALF AND REALLY NOTHING CHANGED IN THE SECOND HALF. PENN STATE KEPT MOVING THE BALL. IOWA KEPT GETTING CRUSHED. NO, NO OFFENSE. I’M TALKING NO OFFENSE FOR THE HAWKEYES, AS KATE MCNAMARA WAS UNDER ATTACK ALL NIGHT TIME AND AGAIN GETTING ROCKED 31 NOTHING. IOWA LOSES THE TURNOVER BATTLE FOR NOTHING. THEY GET SHUT OUT. AND IT WAS BAD. AND AS I MENTIONED, JEFF DUBROF THERE FOR ONE OF THE UGLIEST GAMES WE’VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME. AND, JEFF, I HAVE TO IMAGINE IT WAS HARD TO WATCH AND IN PERSON AND TALK TO THESE GUYS COULD NOT HAVE BEEN EASY. YES. SCOTT WASN’T NECESSARILY PRETTY HAVING TO LISTEN TO YOU IN MY EAR. RECAP THAT GAME WEATHER WASN’T PRETTY, OFFENSE WASN’T PRETTY, AND IN TURN, THE FINAL RESULT FOR IOWA TONIGHT WAS NOT PRETTY EITHER. CADE MCKINNY, TAMARA NOT PRETTY. FIVE OF 1442 YARDS PASSING. AT ONE POINT, HE WAS THE TEAM’S LEADING RUSHER. SAY THAT WHAT YOU WILL ABOUT HOW THIS IOWA OFFENSE PLAYED TODAY HE FINISHED WITH ZERO YARDS RUSHING BUT 42 YARDS PASSING FOR THIS QUARTERBACK THAT A LOT OF FANS HAD HIGH HOPES FOR, DID NOT DELIVER ON A STAGE TONIGHT. COMING UP VERY SHORT, A SHUTOUT. CADE MCNAMARA VOWING THAT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN AFTER THE GAME. TAKE A LISTEN. I SEE THIS AS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR OUR TEAM. I CAN PROMISE YOU THAT THIS IS NOT A REFLECTION OF OUR TEAM. WE WILL BE BETTER BECAUSE OF THIS. AND OUR OFFENSE WILL BE BETTER BECAUSE OF THIS. TO COME BACK AND WATCH A TAPE TOMORROW AND JUST LEARN FROM IT, THAT’S A BIG THING THAT YOU KNOW, WE’RE GOING TO DO TOMORROW. JUST COME IN. PROBABLY ABOUT 1:00, WATCH A TAPE, LEARN FROM IT, GET THE GUYS TOGETHER JUST JUST MAKE SURE WE’RE STAYING TOGETHER. I’M GOING TO TAKE MY GUYS. HOW MANY GUYS WE HAVE ON THE TEAM? 120 GUYS AGAINST ANYBODY. AND YOU MESSAGE, YOU ADVOCATE. I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE GOOD FRIENDS. AFTERWARDS, WHEN THIS. NO, I MEAN, JUST WE’RE GOING TO STAY TOGETHER AND WE’RE GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS TOGETHER AS A WHOLE TEAM. YEAH. AND THERE YOU HEAR JOE EVANS SAYING THAT HE’S GOING TO HAVE HIS QUARTERBACKS BACK NO MATTER WHAT. OBVIOUSLY NOT A GREAT GAME. LIKE I SAID, FIVE OF 14, JUST 42 YARDS, GOT PRESSURED A LOT. HE WAS HIT A LOT, FUMBLED A COUPLE OF TIMES. THE IOWA OFFENSE JUST DID NOT HAVE IT THAT PENN STATE DEFENSE WORE THEM OUT. ONLY 14.5 MINUTES OF POSSESSION TIME. WE’RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT LATER AND HOW THAT MIGHT HAVE HAD AN EFFECT ON THE IOWA DEFENSE, GIVING UP A RARE 31 POINTS IN THIS GAME TONIGHT. WE HAVE A LO
