Iowa is pretty tough to hang with in their place.

I can't decide how this plays out.  On one hand, I think OSU will be comfortable taking what the Iowa defense gives them and moving the ball.  OTOH, they have been fairly middling in the red zone, and Iowa is comfortable in a bend don't break type of game.

Bucks roll, something like 38-14.  Iowa's defense is decent enough to give OSU fits, but they don't have any real strengths on offense, plus the punting/kicking game is a liability.  Iowa's only shot is to hope the passing game clicks enough, and they keep giving OSU consistently poor field position (I think they would score regardless if the field is 90 or 40 yards, but it takes much longer to march from the shadow of their own goalpost)

I think the Hawks are in trouble

not enough offense

but hoping for a low scoring close game and perhaps a big upset

true. but a noon or 3:30 game at Kinnick is a lot different than a night game. If this was a night game, I'd give Iowa a much better shot at pulling the upset.

Yeah, I guess this is the final Saturday where a 3:30 kick isn't a de facto night game. 

Once that time changes on Sunday, we enter four months of eternal darkness.

It's hard to see Iowa scoring enough to keep this close.

Iowa's defense has to play lights out (possible) and they need to win the special teams (have you seen OSU's special teams?)

But if the Bucks stay motivated and come out to prove a point, then I think they win something like 40-13.

could be a horrible pick, this is really the bucks toughest road game to date

Plus its a 2:30 CDT start in Iowa, about half a time zone west of Ohio.

But if the game does go over 3.5 hours, the sun will be setting just in time for Iowa to kick one of those last minute game winning FG under the lights.  

You know, the kind of game winning kick that Iowa likes to kick at home every now and then against a visiting top 5 team.  Much like the 2008 game against #3 PSU, which was a 2:30 start.

Iowa is certainly giving their fans a great entertainment value.  Four of their five B1G games and their ISU game have been decided by one score.  I do not think that will keep up this week.  The Buckeyes are rejuvenated and I think they will roll.

I know the Michigan game last season was a 7pm kick, but it was still a great FG winner under the lights!

3:30 games that end in the dark are the greatest kick time in college football.

I think some of my greatest memories fall into that time frame.

Granted, preferably October so you get the sun setting dusk lighting over the pitch black November lightning, but I'll take all of it

Although at times this defies logic, but Iowa is currently riding a 191-game streak without a shutout.

It's very possible that the streak ends this Saturday.
