The times, they are a-changin’ in the Big Ten.
The conference is enveloped in more upheaval than the Balkans during the early 20th century. A cadre of teams all across the land are set to descend on the Midwest’s favorite football league, cementing the conference’s status as the place to be in college football.
And yet, so much of the conference’s beauty lies in its more traditional geographic footprint. Which makes Saturday’s clash between the No. 7 Nittany Lions and the No. 24 Hawkeyes so intriguing.
Penn State fancies itself a national championship contender. Fueled by the strong arm of Drew Allar, it has thrust itself to the top of the college football pyramid, battering each of its first three opponents. Keep that form up, and it will be right in the mix come postseason time.
Iowa, meanwhile, has long been a powerhouse atop the conference. And although this year’s roster isn’t quite as loaded as it has been in the past, in Cade McNamara, the Hawkeyes have a veteran presence who is tried and tested in conference play.
