What are we seeing that would give an indication of Ohio State versus Iowa?

I still feel like the Buckeyes are one of the top 5 teams in the country regardless of the fact that they took a half off in Madison.

My take has been that Sparty has been WAY more lucky than good and this just proves it. I think it'll be another close game with Iowa because Stanzi is definitely a playmaker, but I don't see how their defense can keep up with a balanced offense (something Sparty sure as hell doesn't have).

a healthy ohio state? probably. ohio state without homan, moeller, and bryant... with a gimpy shugarts? i'm not so sure. fortunately, homan should be back by penn state, and shugarts may be better. we'll see about bryant.

I think Iowa has looked very good on defense, but I wonder if Sparty being so overwhelmed is making them look a lot better.

Pryor's mobility, if he is mobile, would suggest a very different challenge for them.

After watching more and more of this game, IDK how much we can take out of it with reference to our game. Michigan State's big win was Wisconsin. That is a good win indeed, but it's looking more and more like Wisconsin was just snakebit. Either that, or MSU is just really flat today for some reason.

It's difficult to go on the road in the upper half of the BigTen. That accounts for a lot of it.
