An Iowa offense that is struggling in every phase faces a difficult challenge on Saturday at second ranked Ohio State against a Buckeye defense that is ranked in the top 10 nationally. An efficient run game would help the offense at least stay on the field a little longer but the Hawkeyes are ranked near the bottom nationally by averaging less than 83 yards per game.

That’s sophomore tackle Mason Richman who is the most experienced member of an offensive line that has been overmatched in nearly every game this season.

Freshman running back Kaleb Johnson is a native of Ohio and this will be his first visit to Ohio Stadium.
