## Resource

Penn State's strangest week in quite some time can only end in one way: A trip to Kinnick Stadium to play Iowa at night with an interim head coach and a backup quarterback leading the charge. On today's episode of the pod, Bill and Nick share some further thoughts on the decision to move on from James Franklin before discussing the Nittany Lions' game against the Hawkeyes — will the team rally and pick up their first Big Ten win of the season, or are they in for a long 60 minutes in an always difficult place to play?
