IOWA CITY, Iowa — No. 17 Iowa didn't need a last-second field goal or a scrappy fourth-quarter rally to beat Penn State this time.

Ricky Stanzi and the Hawkeyes defense swapped drama for dominance and dealing the Nittany Lions their worst-ever loss to Iowa.

Stanzi threw for 227 yards and a touchdown and ran for a score, and the Hawkeyes rolled past 22nd-ranked Penn State 24-3 for their third straight win over the Nittany Lions.

The Hawkeyes (4-1, 1-0 Big Ten) held Penn State to 3-of-13 on third-down conversions and just 54 yards rushing.
