The Hawkeyes have been amazing defensively, but they have really struggled to put points on the board. In fact, Iowa is dead-last in the FBS with just 239.2 total yards of offense, while totaling just 14.7 PPG. The good news is the defense has allowed only 9.8 PPG.
The Buckeyes have scored 45 or more points in each of the past 5 outings and will easily be the biggest test for the Iowa D to date. And while Ohio State is No. 1 in the country with 48.8 PPG, the defense isn’t too shabby, either. The Bucks rank 5th in total yards allowed (253.5) and 10th in points allowed (15.7) per game.
