Lee Doubtful For Iowa
Penn State’s star linebacker Sean Lee sprained his knee in the second quarter of Saturday’s game against Temple. Lee stayed in the game until the fourth quarter but left favoring his left knee. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review is reporting that Lee is listed as doubtful for Saturday’s prime time showdown against Iowa, and it’s possible that he may be out for at least 2 weeks.
Lee has been a dominant force on Penn State’s defense this season and was just named the Big Ten defensive player of the week for his performance against Temple. He has 32 tackles and 7.5 tackles for losses on the year.
The Nittany Lions are already down a linebacker in Navarro Bowman (groin) but he’s listed as possible for Saturday’s matchup. The Iowa Hawkeyes spoiled Penn State’s national championship run last season as they beat them 24-23 on a last second field goal.
Revenge is in the air at Happy Valley, but losing Lee definitely does not help their cause. Hopefully Lee can recover sooner rather than later as his presence will be needed on defense if Penn State is to make another run at the BCS national championship game.
