[@uc9218]

That’s not surprising, Iowa fans love that type of student athlete, one that is very vocal and brings excitement to their team. The Penn State student athletes as a whole have a more clam demeanor and perform in March. Iowa since 2017 have only had two National Champions Lee and Cory Clark. You have to go back to 2013 when Derek St. John was a National Champion for Iowa. Iowa despite having a lot of blue chip recruits haven’t been been able to have the same results as Penn State. Only time will tell.

Seems like a reckless challenge to take on but seems like that’s the mindset people who can succeed at the highest levels tend to have. All that being said he won it all and went undefeated.
