Ohio State once again started slow - this time on offense - to lead just 7-0 at intermission but the second half was all Buckeyes in what became a 35-7 blowout of Iowa yesterday afternoon in sun-splashed Ohio Stadium.
Will Howard matched his career-high with four touchdown tosses and ran for another score within a 21-for-25 day through the air for 209 yards. The 84% completion rate was Howard's second-best single-game mark (88.2%, 15-for-17 versus Houston in '23) as he carved up Iowa on short and intermediate throws most of the day. He also threw an interception for a third-straight game.
