Off the Cuff: Ohio State’s tough Big Ten schedule really starts on Saturday

Julian Sayin and the Ohio State Buckeyes face a major road test on Saturday when they travel to play the undefeated Iowa Hawkeyes at Kinnick Stadium. It marks the first of several demanding October matchups for Ohio State, contrasting with the quarterback's lighter schedule of hostile environments last season.

Iowa enters the contest sporting a 4-0 record, highlighted by a stingy defense allowing just eight points per contest and a balanced offense averaging 32.8 points under the guidance of head coach Kirk Ferentz.
