down pass from quarterback
Kyle Skogman to split end
Brian Rollins with 3:01

Penn State, which had
drives stalled throughout the
afternoon on four lost fum
bles, took over the ball on
their own 20-yard line after
Kokolus boomed a kick into
the Lion end zone.

Hayman and an eight-yard
aerial to Natale. Tailback
John Cappelletti, after being
stopped for no gain on third
down, broke through for a 32-
yard burst on a pitch from
Ilufnagel to the Hawkeye 25-
yard line.
Hayman, spelling Cap
pelletti at tailback, swept
around the left side for 13
yards then Cappy, who
rushed for 96 yards in the
game, drove to the seven on
gains of five and two yards.
An illegal procedure penalty
moved the Lions back to the
10-yard line but Hufnagel
found Natale open for the
winning score.
"I started to scramble
when I lost sight of Natale,"
Hufnagel said in the locker
room. "Then I found him. I
was never happier to see
anyone in my life."
Natale, who caught four
passes for 53 yards. said he
was the primary receiver on
the play.

"It was just a cross pat
tern," he said. "The
linebackers were pretty tough
back there. They were
bumpin' me around. I ac
tually took too long getting
open."
As was the case in Penn
State's two previous games
its offense was overshadowed
by outstanding defensive
efforts. Tackle Randy
Crowder led the Lion
defenders with 12 tackles,
seven of them unassisted.
However, for the third time in
as many games the Lions
failed to score in the first half.
Penn State got the first shot
at a score when linebacker
John Skorupan recovered
Skogman's fumble at the
lowa 37. Al Vitiello attempted
a 48-yard field goal but the
boot was wide to the left.
The Lion defense forced
lowa to punt and took over on
their own 27-yard line. That
drive was halted when
Hayman fumbled a perfect

pitchout and Hawkeye
linebacker Dave Simms
recovered at the 50. Both
squads traded punts to end a
scoreless Furst quarter.
Kokolus' field goal at 10:34
of the second quarter put the
Hawkeyes up, 3-0, but the
Lions couldn't move the ball
and Brian Masella punted
again. Crowder gave Penn
State possession again at 8:13
when he burst through the
lowa line and got the handoff
from Skogman. Hufnagel,
threw an 18-yard pass to
Hayman, but only moved
Penn State to the lowa 43
before punting again. Kokolus
attempted another boot from
46 yards out, but it fell short
seconds before the half ended.
In the second half the Lion
turnovers arrived on the
scene early as Cappelletti ran
by a pitchout and lowa's Dan
Dicke' recovered at his own
33-yard line.
The Lions picked up the
loose ball after lowa's Bob
Sims fumbled at his own 24-
yard line, but again the Penn
State running game was
floundering. Vitiello at
tempted a field goal from the
47-yard line at 7:45 but it, too,
was wide to the right.
On strong defensive efforts
from Crowder and Skorupan
the Lions pushed lowa back to
their own 15-yard line and
took over at the 37 on a 22-
yard punt by Frank Sun
derman. But Hufnagel was
dropped for a 10-yard loss by
lowa's Doug Nelson. Vitiello
tried again, this time from 46
yards out. He hardly got it off
the ground and missed his
third attempt at 3:34.
Penn State took over at its
own 37-yard line with 13:26
left and the timpo picked up.
Hayman took a pitch for 14
yards and Cappelletti
followed with an 11-yard gain.
Then Natale hauled in a 21-
yard pass to the lowa 11.
Cappelletti, after picking up
four yards, fought through
from the seven-yard line for
the Lions first touchdown
with 11:14 left in the game.
Penn State took the lead for
the first time, 7-3.
Both teams punted again
and lowa started out from its
own 37-yard line with 6:39
reMaining. Skogman alter
nated to fullback Frank
Holmes and tailback Dave
Harris then tossed a 15-yard
pass to Rollins at the Lion 37.
Rollins was open in the end
zone and caught the go-ahead
