The key will be the offense actually staying on the field to slow down and limit possessions for OSU. OSU is going to score, they just are. Also we are going to lose ours minds with how much cushion our D will give them outside the 20, to keep everything in front and then hopefully clamp down to limit their possessions to FGs.

This is the correct formula.
gonna have to drag tOSU into the mud to win. Limit possessions, run clock , get a big TO or two.
it’s tough to see a hawk win but the path is there .

I agree.

Iowa is going to need to be able to pass the ball. If they attempt to run the ball 75% of the time, there are going to be a lot of 3 and outs. Cannot be 1 dimensional and expect to have any chance at winning. Mix it up, and don’t be afraid to take a couple of shots downfield!

I hope our RZ defense has a strategy for Smith. Timely blitzes, big cushions, and hope we can get a pass rush to cause some TOs.

They have a $50M roster, Iowa is half that. Have the best player in college football. Buckeyes should win but not so fast my friends.

Hawks have Kinnick where ranked teams come to get beat. Hawkeye's heart and desire can't be measured. Going with the Hawks by three.

We have a defensive line, they just were tackling like sheeiiit last week. I am sure we are working on tackling drills this week.

Hopefully we can get some sort of a pass rush this week. Last week we had to run some contain to keep Underwood in check.

Phil needs to get more aggressive and choose key moments to BLITZ. The best way to stop a great receiver is to pressure the QB. It's not the ONLY way, but it's one Iowa needs to use intelligently today, IMHO.

#3 Ohio State was a 20-point favorite over a mediocre Iowa team in 2017. The Buckeyes left Iowa City with a 55-24 bruisin', the worst defeat in Urban Meyer's storied coaching career. OSU is "only" favored by 14 today, which doesn't mean anything except in the context of that 2017 game. Point being, Iowa CAN win. And it doesn't even have to be by 31.
