Iowa upsets undefeated Penn State

Undefeated Penn State just couldn't seem to get it right Saturday against unranked Iowa. Coming into the game ranked 3rd in the nation behind two other undefeated teams, now Penn State's championship dreams have vanished. After leading 23-14 going into the fourth quarter, Penn St. could not hold on to their lead. Up 23-21 until the final seconds when Iowa's backup kicker, Daniel Murray, lifted a 31 yard field goal through the uprights to beat a top-five team for the first time since 1990.

“I’ve always dreamed about it,” said Murray. “I kept hoping and hoping I’d get my chance.”

Penn St. starting quarterback, Daryll Clark, played poorly in a game that should have gone the Nittany Lions direction.

I want to apologize to the whole Penn State nation for my game play today. I just keep having that turnover recurring in my head over and over. I can’t get it out of my mind.

Clark was injured in last week's big game against against Ohio State and backup quarterback Pat Devlin took over to help lead them to victory. Despite being inconsistent at times, perhaps it would have been best to put Devlin in after Clark's poor performance.

Longtime Penn St. head coach Joe Paterno is still optimistic about his team's season. “We need to keep our heads up. We can still have a heck of a year,” said Paterno.

Both Alabama and Texas Tech remained undefeated this week, but November is the month for upsets in college football. Tech obliterated Oklahoma state while Alabama beat LSU in a clinching overtime victory. Alabama's remaining schedule is against two unranked teams while Tech plays Oklahoma University Saturday in what will most definitely be the game of the week.
