AGAIN, 4321. IOWA STATE. JEFF, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SHANNON. WE KNOW THE CALENDAR IS NOW FLIPPED TO OCTOBER, WHICH MEANS THE GRIND BEGINS FOR IOWA. COMING OFF THAT BYE NEEDING THE REST BECAUSE IT WAS OHIO STATE. AND THERE ARE DIFFERENT MONSTER. AND THE STAGE WAS ALSO A DIFFERENT MONSTER. THE HORSESHOE. OVER 100,000 STRONG ON HAND AS THE HAWKEYES WERE TRYING TO PULL OFF AN UPSET THAT I GUESS WE HAVEN’T SEEN THEM PULL IN IN QUITE SOME TIME. OHIO STATE SCORES FIRST, CAPPING OFF AN 88 YARD DRIVE. WILL HOWARD TO A MECCA BUKA. THAT’S TOO EASY. IOWA HAD THEIR CHANCE TO GET POINTS ON THE BOARD. 51 YARD FIELD GOAL BY DREW STEPHENS MISSES TO THE LEFT. AND YEAH, JUST SOME MISSED OPPORTUNITIES FOR IOWA IN THIS FIRST HALF. BUT THE DEFENSE KEPT THEM IN IT IN THE FIRST TWO QUARTERS. JEREMIAH SMITH THE FRESHMAN PHENOM BALL POPPED LOOSE BY J. HIGGINS. HE POPS ON IT AND THEY RECOVER THE FUMBLE. THEY WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING OF IT. IOWA WOULD ONLY TRAIL SEVEN. NOTHING AT THE HALF. AND I THINK AT THE BREAK THE BUCKEYES FIGURED IT OUT BECAUSE THEY CAME OUT SCORCHING. WILL HOWARD DEEP BALL JEREMIAH SMITH BEHIND THE TWO DEFENDERS. HE’S DOWN INSIDE THE FIVE A COUPLE PLAYS LATER HOW ABOUT THIS. AND I HAVE NO CHOICE FOLKS. THIS IS GOING TO BE ON THE GREAT EIGHT ON MONDAY JEREMIAH SMITH ONE HANDED GRAB. REMEMBER THIS KID IS 18 YEARS OLD. AND THEN THE DEFENSE FOR THE BUCKEYES COMING UP STRONG. JACK SAWYER STRIPS CADE MCNAMARA AND YEAH IT’S JUST THE LAST THING YOU CAN DO ON THE ROAD AGAINST THIS TEAM OF THIS CALIBER OHIO STATE WOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE. WILL HOWARD GOING TO SCORE USING HIS LEGS FIRST RUSHING TOUCHDOWN. IOWA’S ALLOWED ALL YEAR AND IT WAS 35 SEVEN FOLKS IOWA JUST CANNOT OVERCOME THE MISTAKES. THEY CAN’T OVERCOME AN OHIO STATE TEAM THAT LOOKS DEADLY RIGHT NOW. THEY GO ON TO WIN IT. LET’S SEND IT OUT TO SCOTT REISER, WHO HAS MORE IN COLUMBUS. THE IOWA OFFENSE DIDN’T MOVE THE BALL JUST NOT INTO THE END ZONE, DEFINITELY FALLING WELL SHORT OF WHAT THEY NEEDED TO DO TO BEAT A TEAM LIKE OHIO STATE. CADE MCNAMARA, DESPITE SOME NICE MOMENTS AND A 14 OUT OF 20 COMPLETION TO ATTEMPTS, LINE JUST 98 YARDS, THREW A PICK, LOST THE BALL TWICE. NOT HIS BEST DAY, BUT DEFINITELY NOT ANYTHING THAT WOULD MAKE KIRK FERENTZ THINK ABOUT BENCHING HIM LONG TERM. HERE’S CADE AND HIS COACH RIGHT AFTERWARDS. WE EVALUATE EVERY POSITION, YOU KNOW, WEEK TO WEEK. BUT YOU KNOW WE’RE COMFORTABLE. I THINK CADE IS IMPROVING. I REALLY DO. AND IT SOUNDS FUNNY. YOU KNOW WITH THE TURNOVERS TODAY. BUT I THINK HE’S SEEMS MORE COMFORTABLE. HIS TIMING SEEMS BETTER. YOU KNOW HE WAS GETTING THE BALL REALLY WELL IN THE FIRST HALF. SO YOU KNOW WE JUST WE HAVE TO IMPROVE AS A COLLECTIVE OFFENSE. YEAH I MEAN MOMENTUM IS A BIG THING IN FOOTBALL. AND ONCE YOU KNOW YOU KNOW ONCE YOU LOSE THE MOMENTUM IT’S VERY DIFFICULT, ESPECIALLY AGAINST A TEAM WITH A GOOD OFFENSE AND A GOOD DEFENSE LIKE THAT. AND YOU KNOW SHOUT OUT TO THEM THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO GET IT GOING. YOU KNOW OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE A LOT OF FILM TO WATCH. SO YOU KNOW THE THINGS THAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO WELL YOU KNOW HOPEFULLY YOU KNOW WE CONTINUE TO DO THOSE THINGS. AND YOU KNOW, THE THINGS THAT WE DIDN’T DO WELL TODAY, YOU KNOW, IT’S GOING TO BE OUR JOB, YOU KNOW, TO GET BETTER AT THOSE THINGS AS WELL. IT CERTAINLY DIDN’T HELP THAT 105,000 SCREAMING FANS FILLED THE HORSESHOE HERE, ROOTING AGAINST THOSE IOWA HAWKEYES. IT WILL CERTAINLY HELP NEXT SATURDAY WHEN THEY’RE TAKING ON WASHINGTON AT HOME IN FRONT OF 69,000 PRO IOWA FANS. WE’LL SEE IF THEY CAN GET BACK
