Not sure if true but odd stat on psu/iowa

During the Franklin era, when teams beat Penn State then play Iowa at Kinnick the next week: 0-5. Kiss of death if you play these two back to back.

Tough games week after week take a toll.

That is an interesting stat.

I was just thinking about this. Iowa should be our biggest fans. Penn State takes their upcoming opponents' best punch and softens them up for the kill in Kinnick.

That seems like awfully "convenient" scheduling when the team that beats PSU just happens to play Iowa the next week. The odds of that happening 5 out the 6 years Franklin's been coaching at PSU seems astronomical. I remember it happening to OSU but I can't remember the others.

only time i can find it happen is Ohio State in 2017, other then today.

I can't believe there have been five teams to beat PSU that played at Kinnick the next week. Seems an odd twist of scheduling

Are you sure it wasn’t just play penn state then play at Kinnick?
