Welcome to the York Daily Record's fourth Penn State live chat of the season. The No. 5/4 Nittany Lions (3-0) will face their toughest test of the season thus far in the Big 10 opener against Iowa (3-0) at 8 p.m. at Beaver Stadium. It's Penn State's only night game of the season and the battle between the undefeated rivals will be televised nationally on ABC. Iowa is coming off an impressive win against Arizona, 27-17.
Penn State leads the all-time series, 11-10, but has only won three times in the last 10 meetings between the teams (once in the last seven meetings), including last season's 24-23 defeat and a memorable/painful 6-4 loss in 2004.
Linebacker Sean Lee is doubtful for tonight's game, but Navorro Bowman is expected to play if he feels well enough.
Check out a pregame video featuring Frank Bodani and Jim Seip of the York Daily Record/Sunday News before the game at a rainy Beaver Stadium.
