Ohio State vs. Iowa: Live updates, score, how to watch Big Ten heavyweight bout

Fifth-ranked Ohio State travels to face fourteenth-ranked Iowa this Saturday afternoon in a marquee Big Ten contest broadcast on CBS, featuring a fourteen-and-a-half point spread and a forty-five-and-a-half total. The Hawkeyes enter this matchup following a dramatic Week Four victory over Michigan that drew ESPN College GameDay to campus for the first time in twenty years and vaulted them three spots in the AP Top 25.

Kirk Ferentz and his squad boast the nation's top scoring defense by surrendering only eight points and 4.1 yards per play, though quarterback Hank Brown will need to elevate the offense against an undefeated Buckeye attack. Ryan Day's group puts up forty-five points per game behind an unstoppable receiver in Jeremiah Smith alongside running backs Bo Jackson and Ja'Kobi Jackson, who together average better than six yards per carry.
