IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The stakes couldn't have been higher when the Nittany Lions stepped up to the line Saturday night and prepared to execute a successful two-minute drill.
The crowd at Kinnick Stadium likely couldn't have been louder, either, as the Nittany Lions grinded out a 21-19 victory against Iowa, capping the evening with a seven-yard touchdown reception by Juwan Johnson. There weren't signs of panic and no demands for the ball from the Lions' Heisman Trophy candidate.
"Two minutes, two timeouts, let's get in the end zone," Saquon Barkley said. "It was that simple. We work on that every week."
