Iowa’s last game against Ohio State was in 2017, yet it feels like half a lifetime ago. The heavily favored Buckeyes rolled into Kinnick Stadium ranked #3 in the nation on the strength of their high-powered offense led by Heisman candidate quarterback JT Barrett. Iowa entered he contest with a disappointing 5-3 record and facing serious questions after two poor offensive showings in a row. Few Hawkeye fans came into the game optimistic; Iowa had missed its shot to knock off one of the country’s top teams when it fell to Penn State at home earlier that season, and the Buckeyes, fresh off a dramatic comeback win against that same Nittany Lions squad, seemed nearly untouchable.
