No need to over-recap what happened the last times these two met. The Iowa Hawkeyes had the outlier of all outlier offensive performances but defensively, the Hawkeyes turned Ohio State interceptions into points early and often.
Amani Hooker snagged an interception on the first play and returned it to grant Iowa a 7-0 lead! The team traded scorers until a late-second quarter Josh Jackson pick allowed Iowa to extend the lead to 2 [touchdowns] going into half. The offense stagnated in the second half but Iowa’s defense held the Buckeyes to two three-and-outs before unleashing some special teams trickeration to put the game out of reach for good.
