Iowa picked up 67 yards in the first half. Had Iowa not scored a defensive touchdown in the first half, the game would feel a lot different.

Ohio State might face its toughest defense of the year against Iowa, but the Hawkeyes' horrid offense makes them a big underdog against the Buckeyes.

Now we’re on to the second half of the season. “They want to run the ball,” Ohio State safety Ronnie Hickman said. There have been really good things, but that was the first half of the season. The problem for the Hawkeyes is that the Buckeyes’ defense under new coordinator Jim Knowles has been stout. To say the Hawkeyes’ offense is inept is to give it too much credit. As stingy as Iowa’s defense is, the dam is likely to break unless its offense can come alive. There’s a reason they’re very good, and year-in, year-out they’re one of the better defenses in the country.” You might want to save your bathroom breaks for when Iowa has the ball. Day saw it first-hand in the teams’ last meeting five years ago. That’s why the Buckeyes are a 30-point favorite. More than two decades ago, current OSU offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson and Hawkeyes defensive coordinator Phil Parker were young coaches in the Mid-American Conference. “They’re very good at what they do, and the minute you think they’re not going to change it up, they do.

The Padilla interception gave Ohio State the ball at Iowa’s 15 and they converted it into a touchdown (on fourth down) which was prelude to the dam breaking around the defense who kept it their finger in it as long as they could to prevent flooding. The defense held Ohio State to a season-low 360 yards. Time and again, the Hawkeye offense (and special teams, unfortunately) put the Bucks in very desirable field position throughout the first half. He turned the ball over twice in three touches which was even worse than Spencer Petras’ start (two turnovers in seven plays).

Iowa heads into that crucial stretch with no momentum thanks to the inability in at least achieving a moral victory against the mighty Buckeyes. The Hawkeyes last fell short of bowl eligibility in '12. The complementary football on which Iowa hangs its hat hasn't been working even with one of the country's best defenses and a strong special teams. The Buckeyes finished with seven scores in as many red-zone trips, while the visitors never made it to the red zone, converting just 1 of 13 third-down attempts. Meanwhile, the Iowa offense continued putting the team in peril. Perhaps it happened in the 10-7 home loss to Iowa State, where the lone touchdown came on a two-play, 16-yard drive following a blocked punt.

The long awaited change at quarterback finally came to start the second half for the Hawkeyes. For one reason or another, four different first-half Ohio State drives started in Iowa territory.

And that starts at the top. If Petras is getting second-team reps this week, he would be capable of coming off the bench as he was last season in helping Iowa win at Nebraska. I think he has the utmost confidence in me.” The advantage of Padilla would be that he offers some more scrambling ability and he could finally get a full week of first-team reps. There have not been satisfactory answers about how Iowa is handling the QB position, to say the least. And yes, that has something to do with the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach. There’s evidence to show that it’s worked in the past to play it out. Lesmireses, a veteran reporter who hosts a daily podcast about Buckeyes football, spent time this week blasting the buyout terms ($42 million after this season) of the Dec. “The guys on our staff are guys I think have demonstrated success. and that's how it played out in front of them and the 104,848 fans here Saturday. Even Brian Ferentz, a former offensive lineman, admitted he would need to seek outside counsel, that he wasn’t an expert on the quarterback position. The folks who watch the Buckeyes regularly know what great offense looks like, and that makes the woeful Iowa offense stand out even more.

The Hawkeyes won 12 games in a row after they started 0-2 in 2020. The Hawkeyes will play their first game at Kinnick Stadium since Oct. Ohio State’s offense was rated second in the country before it played Iowa. Once Ohio State recaptured the lead, it never let it go. The 54 points Iowa’s defense surrendered Saturday is the most the Hawkeyes have allowed during Ferentz’s near-25-year head coaching tenure at Iowa. “At the moment, I felt so on top of the world,” Evans said. Petras also threw a pick six with 3:25 remaining in the second quarter. The Buckeyes did not win Saturday’s contest in wire-to-wire fashion. “We obviously turned the ball over way too many times to beat a good team. By the time the fourth quarter began, Ohio State led 40-10. Fifty-four points is the most Iowa has given up in a single game during Kirk Ferentz’s head coaching tenure. Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz put him into the game after benching senior Spencer Petras at halftime.

On nepotism and the miserable Iowa offense, which failed again Saturday in a 54-10 loss to Ohio State.

It belongs to the people of Iowa and the fans of the Hawkeyes. But the Ferentz family has not earned the right to employ people who aren’t up to the job. Iowa’s only touchdown came on defense, and in seven games, the Iowa offense has seven touchdowns and the Iowa defense has three. And in 23 years, he’s never changed a staff member in the middle of the season. Last season, the Hawkeyes were 99th in points and 121st in yards. The king holds on to power as tight as he can. At the end of the season, Kirk will evaluate him and he’ll evaluate all the other coaches and we’ll make plans for next year. He’s shown that he’s a quality coach and is qualified to do the job. “I’ve been with him for 17 years, and at the end of the year, he evaluates every part of the program, every staff member. In the meantime, this is an embarrassment for Iowa, and nepotism remains a stain on college football. The problem is that at many major football programs, the football coach may as well be the AD’s boss. “It has no bearing on who the person is,” Ferentz said.

The Buckeyes outgained the Hawkeyes in total offense, 360-158, with 294 yards coming in the air and 66 on the ground. Ohio State forced six Hawkeye turnovers.

- The Hawkeyes limited Ohio State to 360 yards and just 66 on the ground. The game will be televised on ESPN2. The Hawkeyes have opened the game on defense 78 times (43-35).

If Brian Ferentz isn't removed as Iowa's offensive coordinator, can we just go ahead and ban the Hawkeyes from appearing on TV?

And he can even stay in the state of Iowa to do it. But the time is nigh for a revival of this old-school punishment. And that’s only because things got better for the Hawkeyes in the second half. That’s Ohio State’s lowest third-down conversion percentage since its 31-0 loss to Clemson in the 2016 Fiesta Bowl. Not because Iowa has committed rules violations under Ferentz, but because its offense is a direct violation of the Geneva Conventions. Ole Miss’ 1995 season is the last to be banished from the airwaves. At the end of the game, Ohio State had 54 points despite going 3-of-13 (23%) on third down. But since offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz is the son of head coach Kirk Ferentz, that option isn’t available. Anywhere else in college football, the offensive coordinator would be without a job. As we saw Saturday, it doesn’t matter which of Iowa’s sorry quarterbacks is on the field. Petras went 6 of 14 for 49 yards with 2 interceptions and a lost fumble before his plug was mercifully pulled at halftime. Iowa’s 54-10 loss at Ohio State on FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff was the final straw.

Kirk Ferentz has always been overrated and overpaid as a head coach. But his complete refusal to fire his monumentally incompetent son/offensive coordinator ...

Kirk Ferentz should not get a single question that isn't about the his son, the offense, or the quarterback for the rest of the year. Man I love Kirk Ferentz and what he’s done at Iowa.

The fumble that set up another field goal. His 49-yard field goal in the second quarter provided the Hawkeyes’ other points. And Ohio State only had the ball 92 seconds more than the Hawkeyes. There was the interception on the Hawkeyes’ first offensive play that set up an Ohio State field goal. 2 Buckeyes had rolled opponents this season and the way Iowa has struggled to score points. Quarterback Spencer Petras lasted until halftime, then Alex Padilla finished the game.

Allowing the most points of the Kirk Ferentz era, the Iowa Hawkeyes have a lot of work to do after falling to the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes.

just one offensive touchdown and even scored a touchdown of their own, despite the Hawkeye offense putting it into bad spots. Can Iowa salvage enough of a season to make a bowl? So, it begged the question of if they would be able to hold their own. He had five punts for an average of 41 yards with one landing inside Ohio State's 20-yard line. Then compound that with their six turnovers and you have disaster. Northwestern is next and Northwestern isn't great. In the first half, Petras completed 6 of his 14 passes for 49 yards and committed three turnovers. On the outside, expectations were that Iowa would likely get beaten by several touchdowns. If you're an Iowa fan, the score is humbling. Stroud and Co. In the second half, it was a very different story as the Buckeyes' offense managed to get into a rhythm.
