Ohio State took care of business at Iowa, delivering a physical performance on both sides of the ball. The Buckeyes ran for 160 yards, held Iowa to just 39 rushing yards, and got another record-setting performance from Jeremiah Smith.
Now, the focus shifts to Maryland.
With the Terrapins coming to Columbus, there are plenty of questions to answer. Can Ohio State continue to establish its identity in the running game? How will Julian Sayin and the passing attack build on their recent success? Can the defense carry its performance against Iowa into another week? And what matchups could give the Buckeyes an advantage on Saturday?
With Slate out, Jeremy is riding solo to break down the matchup, examine the offensive and defensive keys to the game, and explain what he wants to see from Ohio State as Big Ten play continues.
The Buckeyes have momentum, but the challenge is turning one strong performance into consistent football week after week.
