Game Thread Iowa at tOSU, Sat. Oct. 5, 3:30pm ET, CBS


I’D LIKE TO SEE… Before Ohio State and Iowa face off at 3:30 p.m., here are 10 (ish) things I’d like to see from the Buckeyes in their Big Ten showdown with the Hawkeyes.

I’d like to see Ohio State start fast.

I’d like to see Ohio State win the line of scrimmage.

I’d like to see Ohio State’s running backs score touchdowns. (Michigan State was the first opponent to keep TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins out of the end zone, though Jeremiah Smith and Will Howard scored on the ground.)

I’d like to see Ohio State complete a deep ball. (Howard is 4-for-9 passing with 143 yards and one interception on passes of 20 yards or more this season.)

I’d like to see Ohio State hold Kaleb Johnson to less than 100 rushing yards. (Johnson’s single-game yardage totals are 119, 187, 173 and 206 through four games.)

I’d like to see Ohio State hold Cade McNamara to under 100 passing yards. (McNamara’s single-game yardage totals are 62, 176, 99 and 251 through four games.) I’d also like to see some combination of Jack Sawyer, JT Tuimoloau, Tyleik Williams and Ty Hamilton put him in the dirt for his previous ties to Michigan.

I’d like to see Ohio State record a pick-six or the special teams unit record a kickoff or punt return touchdown. (Or all three!)

I’d like to see Ohio State add flavor to its (somewhat) vanilla gameplans over four weeks—if vanilla works, it works, but I’d like to see Chip Kelly call more reverses to Smith or Jim Knowles dial up more blitzes. (You know Iowa wants to run the ball, and you know Iowa wants to stop the run.)

I’d like to see Ohio State build its depth in the second half.

I’d like to see Ohio State win.

That’s it — that’s 10 (ish) things I’d like to see on Saturday.

Ohio State 34 - Iowa 9

Happy gameday boys. Not to be a downer but I had totally forgot about the Iowa game in '04 where we lost 33-7 and scored basically a garbage time TD and got outgained 448 to 177. Good God. Game basically ended Justin Zwick's career.
Drew Tate threw for 331 yards and 3 TDs in that game. Two years later the Buckeyes picked him off 3 times in a 38-17 win, a much better memory of that prick.
