One day after being named the Big Ten’s Defensive Player of the Week, Iowa senior linebacker Pat Angerer was named the Lott Trophy IMPACT Player of the Week.

He garnered the second weekly accolade after recording 14 tackles in the Hawkeyes’ 21-10 win over Penn State, four of which were solo.

In addition to the tackles, he also came up with a fourth-quarter interception of Nittany Lion quarterback Daryll Clark and forced an Evan Royster fumble on Penn State’s ensuing drive that was recovered by Iowa’s Karl Klug.

Former Ohio State head coach John Cooper is among those who votes for this weekly honor that gives Iowa $1,000 toward its general scholarship fund. He said Angerer, along with the rest of the Hawkeye defense, made the difference against Penn State.

“Angerer’s interception broke Penn State’s back,” Cooper said in a statement. “If Penn State had kept that drive alive, it could have won the game, but that interception ended its undefeated season.”
