Iowa Blows Out JT Barrett, Ohio State 55-24 for Upset Win; Nathan Stanley 5 TDs

The Iowa Hawkeyes put the No. 6 Ohio State Buckeyes' College Football Playoff hopes in serious peril Saturday by pulling off a convincing 55-24 upset at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Iowa.

Hawkeyes sophomore quarterback Nathan Stanley outdueled Buckeyes signal-caller J.T. Barrett by throwing for 226 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions.

After putting up big numbers in OSU's 39-38 win over Penn State last week, Barrett struggled to the tune of 208 passing yards, three touchdowns and four interceptions. He also had 63 rushing yards.

The loss dropped the Buckeyes to 7-2, which likely means they will have to win out to have any chance at a coveted CFP spot.
