Terry Smith will be coaching in his first ever game for Penn State. Kirk Ferentz will be coaching his 335th. As the longest-tenured FBS coach, that experience advantage is massive. Add in the fact that he is 128-88 overall against Big Ten opponents makes Smith's task even more daunting.
Penn State will have a new head coach, a new quarterback and likely a new approach when it tangles with Iowa at Kinnick Stadium on Saturday night. Also new? Terry Smith’s Nittany Lions (3-3, 0-3) will be underdogs for the first time this season.
