BOLD Prediction No. 2 — Iowa’s Tyler Goodson will not find the end zone

The Iowa Hawkeye offense is far from prolific but they have a strong offensive line and are able to run the ball.

Goodson is averaging over four yards a carry as the Hawkeye leading rusher and has found the end zone five times already this season.

No other Hawkeye player has found the end zone more than three times, so if there were an ‘anytime td scorer’ prop bet, the best Iowa odds would be for Tyler Goodson.

However, Penn State Football knows shutting him down will force Iowa QB Spencer Petras. He’s completing over 60% of his passes but the name Spencer Petras isn’t too high on anyone’s B1G Big Board of QB’s. Penn State will make Petras beat them through the air and allow star RB Tyler Goodson to find the end zone.
