Check out the 2009 Theme Days video on Penn State's Football site. The Penn State - Iowa game is officially the "Whitehouse" game. This was apparently announced the PSU's spring game, but this is the first official information I could find on the game. Iowa and Penn State are schedule to kick off in prime time, 7:00 PM (CST) on September 26th. The Nittany Lion's will be looking for revenge as Iowa ruined their perfect season last year with a 24-23 victory on a Daniel Murray field goal with 0:01 remaining. The match up with be highly anticipated as both teams are expected to challenge for the Big Ten title. Penn State must replace some high performers at receiver, the offense line, and in the defensive secondary, but should field a strong team this fall.

When the two teams met in 2004, the Penn State "white out" was in effect. In one of the sloppiest games I've ever seen, Iowa was up 6-2 on 2 Kyle Schlicher field goals and time was running out. Instead of punting, Kirk Ferentz elected to take an intentional safety in favor of field position and with a strong confidence in the Hawkeye defense. The defense held and Iowa won 6-4.
