Iowa’s matchup with Penn State on Oct. 12 will take place under the Kinnick lights.

The top-15 contest between the Hawkeyes and Nittany Lions will kick off at 6:30 p.m. and will be televised on ABC, FS1, or BTN.

The past two battles between the teams have been decided by six points or less, and Iowa hasn’t come out on top since its 24-3 victory in 2010. The Hawkeyes and Nittany Lions have played five times since, and Penn State has won them all.

The last time Penn State faced Iowa at night in Kinnick, quarterback Trace McSorely hit wide receiver Juwan Johnson on the game’s final play to escape Iowa City with a 21-19 victory.

Before the teams face off on Oct. 12, the Hawkeyes have to deal with Michigan in Ann Arbor on Oct. 5, while Penn State will play Purdue at home.
