Penn State football’s October 18 matchup against Iowa is set for a 7 p.m. kickoff on Peacock, the Big Ten announced Monday afternoon.

The two programs last met in Penn State’s 31-0 domination of the Hawkeyes in the 2023 White Out game. Penn State’s win in that game snapped a two-game losing skid in the all-time series that now stands at 18-14 in the Nittany Lions’ favor. The second of those two games also represents Penn State’s last time at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, where it dropped a close 23-20 affair.

Penn State is 3-2 and winless in conference play following its week six loss to UCLA. Iowa is also 3-2 coming off a 20-15 loss to Indiana on September 27. The Hawkeyes had their first bye week of the year in week six.

It is Penn State’s last game before its second and final bye week ahead of week 10’s matchup against Ohio State.
