Big Ten Schedule Has No. 14 Iowa Attempting to Beat Michigan and Ohio State in Back-to-Back Weeks

Ohio State allowed more than 6 yards per carry against Illinois and is looking for answers before facing Iowa.

  • On Saturday, No. 5 Ohio State Buckeyes visit Kinnick Stadium to face the Iowa Hawkeyes in a marquee Big Ten matchup. ESPN's College GameDay broadcasts from Iowa City for the first time in 20 years.
  • Following a dramatic 20-19 win at Michigan, Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz emphasizes his "24-hour rule" to move past victories and focus on the next opponent. The Hawkeyes enter 4-0 after the game-final-play victory.
  • Wide receiver Jeremiah Smith matched a program single-game record with four touchdown catches against Illinois last week. The Heisman Trophy candidate averages 154.3 receiving yards per game, leading Ohio State's explosive offense.
  • Safety Tyler Brown's injury status remains uncertain following a concerning sequence during Iowa's Michigan win. Anthony Hawkins is expected to start if Brown is unavailable against Ohio State's receiving corps.
  • Despite Iowa's 55-24 victory in 2017, the Hawkeyes have struggled recently against Ohio State, losing 54-10 in 2022 and 35-7 in 2024. This Saturday's matchup tests whether Iowa can maintain its undefeated record.
