Before each Ohio State game, Eleven Warriors catches up with a media member who covers the opposing team to get their perspective on the Buckeyes' upcoming opponent.
Ahead of Ohio State’s first game in five years against Iowa, we’re joined by Chad Leistikow, the Hawkeyes columnist for the Des Moines Register, who breaks down why Iowa’s offense has struggled so badly this season and what the Hawkeyes have done well defensively to rank second in the nation in yards allowed per play.
We also asked Leistikow whether Kirk Ferentz’s seat could be getting hot, which Hawkeye players we should keep an eye on in Saturday’s game and how much Iowa’s 55-24 win over Ohio State in 2017 – the last time the Buckeyes and Hawkeyes met on the football field – still resonates with Iowa fans.
