As the No. 6 Ohio State Buckeyes roll into Iowa City this weekend, they’ll face an Iowa offense that simply doesn’t move the football. The Hawkeyes rank 104th in total offense (346 YPG), 78th in passing offense (215.1 YPG), and 100th in rushing offense (130.8 YPG).
Not good.
Meanwhile the Buckeyes defense ranks No. 12 in total defense (303 YPG), the No. 33 passing defense (195.3 YPG), and the No. 10 rushing defense (107.3 YPG).
I’ll let you do the brain calculus, but the match-up bodes well for the Buckeyes.
