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

The Hawkeyes have a chance to match a rare season sweep over Michigan and Ohio State while Ohio State brings a 522-yard offense.

  • Ohio State head coach Ryan Day implemented defensive damage control plans ahead of Saturday's game against Iowa, emphasizing improved discipline after the Buckeyes allowed 466 total yards to Illinois last weekend.
  • Iowa enters Saturday's matchup undefeated at 4-0 following a dramatic 20-19 victory over Michigan on September 26, where quarterback Hank Brown and wide receiver Reece Vander Zee connected for the game-winning touchdown.
  • Uncertainty surrounds Iowa starting safety Tyler Brown's availability for Saturday, while Ohio State seeks to fix missed defensive assignments that allowed Illinois to average over 6 yards per carry.
  • Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, averaging 154.3 receiving yards per game, presents a significant test for the Iowa secondary, which allows only 8 points per game.
  • ESPN's "College GameDay" broadcasts from Iowa City on Saturday for the first time in 20 years, as the Hawkeyes host the fifth-ranked Buckeyes at Kinnick Stadium.
