After a walk-off field goal at Michigan, the Iowa Hawkeyes have yet another signature win under long-time head coach Kirk Ferentz.

There’s no rest for Iowa, though, as the Hawkeyes will now host national championship favorite Ohio State. The game is set to be featured as the first of five October College GameDay locations.

If Iowa can score another upset, it’ll be in the driver’s seat in the Big Ten.

Ohio State vs. Iowa: Preview & Notes

Ohio State and Iowa aren’t natural Big Ten rivals, since the Buckeyes and Hawkeyes played in different divisions until the conference eliminated its East/West divide a few years ago. Ohio State hasn’t been to Kennick since 2017. 

But that last trip is certainly a memorable one. No. 3 Ohio State threw four picks in a 55-24 blowout loss. Overall, Ohio State is 2-2 straight up and 1-2-1 ATS in its last four games.
