vs.

#9 Ohio State @ #20 Iowa – 3:30 PM ET on ABC

Definitely Game of the Week here. Iowa is entering the contest off a heartbreaking loss to Northwestern which has taken all meaning out of their season…except to ruin the season of another conference mate like the Buckeyes. Last year OSU won by a FG in overtime against Iowa at the Horseshoe. That game was as tight as it sounds with both defenses flexing their muscle. That is likely to be the case again this year as these offenses just refuse to open up, especially Iowa who is taking a lot of criticism after last week. Kirk Ferentz is considered one of the better coaches in the country and this game will be a real test. The Hawkeyes have had it circled all year long but losses to other teams have diminished its importance. Can he keep the preparation and motivation high enough to beat a team they haven’t beaten since 2004. Iowa is the home underdog so it seems the world is counting them out. Should you?
