Coming off a 38-7 beating of Michigan State in East Lansing last Saturday, Ryan Day met with the media on Tuesday to discuss this weekend's matchup with the Iowa Hawkeyes.
After the Spartans were a step up from Ohio State's non-conference slate, the same is expected this week as the Hawkeyes present a more formidable challenge than Michigan State, particularly as you think about pure physicality.
Iowa's identity for decades has been to feature a stout, physical defense and an equally physical rushing attack that in combination, attempts to wear down opponents and largely play the game in a phone booth.
