Following a loss to Kentucky, Auburn has fired football coach Hugh Freeze, who managed just 15 victories in his two-plus seasons on the Plains.

The battered and broken Nittany Lions lost their fifth straight and still haven't beaten a power-conference opponent.

Sitting at 3-3 with six games remaining, Penn State will have to find three wins the rest of the way to avoid missing out on a bowl game. Penn State has two games against ranked opponents ( Ohio State and Indiana) and road games against Michigan State and Rutgers .

Penn State is looking to regroup after a tumultuous three-week skid, but picking up a win in Week 8 will be no easy task. Penn State is on the road to face the Iowa Hawkeyes, and Iowa will be showing no mercy against the wounded and battered Nittany Lions.
