No. 5 Ohio State Sees Visit to No. 14 Iowa as an Opportunity to Create Momentum for Rest of Season
Julian Sayin threw for 324 yards and three touchdowns, while Jeremiah Smith had 206 receiving yards and two scores.
No. 4 Ohio State travels to face No. 14 Iowa at Kinnick Stadium on Saturday, October 3, for a high-stakes Big Ten matchup.
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day has attempted to block the 2017 loss from memory, calling the 55-24 defeat "a scar that doesn't go away."
Iowa enters riding momentum after a 20-19 victory over Michigan, while Ohio State's defense recently allowed 199 rushing yards to Illinois in a 42-19 win.
Analysts view this as a potential "trap game," with Kinnick Stadium regarded as a "house-of-horrors" venue for elite programs visiting Iowa.
Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. CT on Saturday; Ohio State enters as a 13.5-point favorite despite Iowa's recent success.
