Going into Saturday’s game at Iowa, Ohio State’s offense was executing with as much consistency and as much rhythm as any offense in college football.
The Buckeyes topped 500 yards of offense in six straight games, all wins, including four straight games in which they scored 50 or more points, followed by a 39-point effort against a Penn State defense that had not allowed more than 19 points in any previous game this year.
Ohio State’s offense wasn’t able to keep that roll going at Iowa, however, as the Hawkeyes held the Buckeyes to just 24 points on 371 yards as Ohio State suffered a 31-point loss.
