Iowa State (1-1) heads to Ohio (2-1) this week to finish a home-and-home series.
The trip to Ohio for a Big 12 team is fairly rare, as this trip will mark only the second such game since Ohio head coach Tim Albin’s arrival in Athens in 2005 as the offensive coordinator.
The last meeting versus the Big 12 at Ohio was a visit by the Kansas Jayhawks exactly six years ago from the date of this week’s game, in a contest where the ‘Cats cruised to a 40-32 win. The score was a lot closer than the game actually was, as Ohio took a 39-14 lead into the fourth quarter and the Jayhawks added 16 points in “garbage time” to make the score look respectable.
