FWIW, Michigan had nine possessions against Iowa (not counting kneeling at the end if the game), they got:

  • 4 punts
  • 3 TD's
  • 2 FG's
If you can't hit long plays (Michigan's longest was a 20 yard TD), then this is about as good as you can hope for. If Ohio State can't hit any long plays they'll be roughly in this range of <35.

This is what I expect them to attempt.

start with” take what the defense gives you” but eventually use motions and formations to manipulate the defense, looking for some opportunities for explosive plays. 

Of course there is risk in that- poor execution or a “ baiting” defense can cause turnovers. 

A real coaching chess match. 
not much of a checkers match when the Buck's defense is on the field

Give me 37-13.

I think Iowa does force some field goals, but Ohio State still moves at will between the 20s

This is a pretty good breakdown of what Iowa is trying to do and how Ohio State may attack it:

Fearless is right that the other side of the ball may not be very interesting.

Joel Klatt mentioned this on his podcast and I wanted to share it here because it is such a perfect example of Iowa. The following sequence actually occurred during the Hawkeyes' game against the Illini:

  • Iowa lost 11 yards and was forced to punt from their 16 after getting the ball on their 27.
  • Iowa recovered the punt after Illinois muffed it and got the ball on the Illinois 35.
  • Iowa lost 6 yards and was forced to punt from the Illinois 41.
  • Illinois fumbled giving Iowa the ball on the Illinois 5, first and goal.
  • Iowa lost 4 yards and kicked a FG from the Illinois 9.
Iowa's defense and special teams are so good that the Hawkeyes got points despite their comically bad walking embodiment of nepotism offense losing yards on each of three consecutive drives for a total of 21 yards. If they had kept their offense off the field they probably would have scored a TD.

Iowa is literally a team without an offense. If they had even a slightly above average offense they're a 10 win team and they run away with the West. Instead they have the worst offense in the B1G and maybe the entire P5. It's just sad that Kirk won't make a change and retool the offensive staff. They could be a lot more than they currently are as a program. DC Phil Parker isn't going to be there forever.

Alex Hickey: NCAA should reinstate TV bans to counter Iowa football problem

We’ve seen enough. Literally.

It’s time for someone to intervene and take Iowa football games off of American television airwaves until further notice.

Iowa’s 54-10 loss at Ohio State on FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff was the final straw. Advertisers should threaten to pull their commercials if they have the misfortune of being paired with the Hawkeyes, because Brian Ferentz’s offense alienates millions of viewers.

As we saw Saturday, it doesn’t matter which of Iowa’s sorry quarterbacks is on the field. Ferentz’s playbook is even sorrier. There was a point in time where Spencer Petras and Alex Padilla had a combined 6 completions and 5 turnovers.

Petras went 6 of 14 for 49 yards with 2 interceptions and a lost fumble before his plug was mercifully pulled at halftime. Padilla went 5 of 10 for 32 yards with his own interception to contribute to the cause.

Iowa’s lone touchdown, naturally, was scored by its defense. It’s the third time this season that Iowa’s offense has failed to score a touchdown.

Anywhere else in college football, the offensive coordinator would be without a job. Well before things got to this point. But especially after getting de-pantsed and beaten with a switch on national television.

But since offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz is the son of head coach Kirk Ferentz, that option isn’t available. The elder Ferentz is the winningest coach in Iowa history and contracted with the school through 2029.

A more drastic measure must be taken. It’s time to ban the Hawkeyes from television.

I predict this will be Kirk Ferentz's last year as head coach but he won't announce his retirement until next June.

I was close for Iowa, but 7 of those of course were of the P6 type.  I think their Defense just wore down and quit, I would have probably.
