Iowa City, Iowa – Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says the Hawkeyes will need a big effort at Ohio State just to have a chance. The third-ranked Buckeyes are a better than three touchdown favoritre two years ago as the Buckeys pummeled the Hawkeyes 54-10 in Columbus.
The Iowa defense will have its hands full against a talented Ohio State offense that is averaging nearly 49 points per game.
Former Kansas State quarterback Will Howard directs the Buckeye offense.
A Ferentz coached Iowa team has never won at Ohio State and the Hawkeyes last viuctory in Columbus was back in 1991.
