STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Still about 15 minutes until kickoff but the crowd that will eventually top 100,000 just got an unexpected boost.
The public address voice just announced the final score from Iowa City: Northwestern 17, Iowa 10.
It may not end up being the loudest cheer of the day but it was one thing that both the Penn State and Ohio State fan bases could agree on.
The Big Ten race is back in flux. With Iowa’s loss the winner of this game will be tied for first place with the Hawkeyes at 5-1. And Ohio State hosts Iowa next weekend in Columbus.
Fasten your seat belts Big Ten fans because November just got more interesting.
