In what could be one of the highlights of the Week 6 FBS schedule, No. 3-ranked Ohio State (4-0) will take on Iowa (3-1) in Columbus on Saturday afternoon.
The Buckeyes are who we thought they were. They're undefeated through four weeks, and coming off a 38-7 road victory over Michigan State. The Buckeyes out-gained the Spartans 483-246 in total yards and won the turnover battle 3-1.
Senior Ohio State QB Will Howard has been impressive, with the help of a solid skill-position trio consisting of wideouts Emeka Egbuka and Jeremiah Smith and running back TreVeyon Henderson. But the Buckeyes' biggest strength is its defense, which allows an FBS-best 6.8 points per game, 61.8 rushing yards (3rd), and 134.8 passing yards (9th).
The Hawkeyes have also been strong, and they're coming off a bye. Their only loss was a 20-19 heartbreaker to Iowa State in Week 2, but they have bounced back nicely with convincing wins over Troy and Minnesota. Iowa beat the Golden Gophers in the ground game 272-79.
Junior running back Kaleb Johnson led the charge for Iowa in Week 4, racking up 206 yards and three touchdowns on 21 carries. He's up to 685 ground yards and nine TDs on the season, and Iowa ranks 10th in the nation in rushing. That efficiency makes life easy for senior QB Cade McNamara, as does the Hawkeyes' 15th-ranked defense (13.8 PPG allowed, 62 rushing yards allowed).
This could be a defensive battle, and we can't wait to check it out. If you're interested in watching Ohio State vs. Iowa on Saturday, here is everything you need to know about the game.
