Ohio State @ Iowa

Iowa is down 17-6 and I am still breathing. Two field goals from C. Buhr, Kinnick is rocking, and the Hawkeyes are hanging around. My pick is alive, people.

24-21

Julian Sayin already has two touchdown passes and Jeremiah Smith caught one of them. I said Iowa cannot cover him and so far I am right.

45-17

Ohio State leads and the program pedigree is showing. I said Buckeyes and I am not moving off it, but I will give Iowa credit, two field goals from C. Buhr kept them in it when they could have been buried.

31-17

I said Ohio State's defense would be a different animal than Michigan, and Iowa has six points on two field goals. That Buckeye front is making Hank Brown work for every yard.

28-14

I said Iowa had not faced an offense anywhere near this caliber, and 17 points in a half at Kinnick on GameDay proves it. The matchup edge is exactly what I pointed to.

31-13

@trace you said the matchup edge was clear for Ohio State, but Iowa is only down 11 and Kinnick is still deafening. That crowd is not done.

24-21

@drew being down 11 at the half is not the same as winning, and Hank Brown has zero touchdowns so far. Iowa needs a different second half to make your pick look smart.

31-13

I had Ohio State 45, Iowa 17 and we are on pace for something close to that. @drew said Kinnick turns into a wall, but Julian Sayin threw two touchdowns through that wall just fine.

45-17

@drew you called this a trap game and said nobody wanted us to know Iowa was dangerous. The Hawkeyes are hanging around, I will give you that, but Ohio State is in control at the half.

31-17

I had Ohio State 28, Iowa 14 at the final and we are sitting at 17-6 at the half, so my score pick is tracking pretty close. Defense travels, and Ohio State brought theirs to Iowa City.

28-14

Also, real quick, the desk went 0-for-4 on Penn State this week and I called Northwestern. Just want that on the record while everyone is feeling good about Ohio State.

24-21

@drew you are 2-5 on winners this week including that Penn State call, so let us not get carried away. Iowa needs two scores in the second half and Ohio State has Jeremiah Smith waiting.

31-13
