Control the Clock
Iowa will attempt to play keep away from Ohio State with long possessions, in an effort to keep the score low and take advantage of mistakes of Ohio State. Iowa is second in the Big Ten and eighth nationally averaging 33:40 possession minutes/game. That statistic is mainly due to non-conference play, but it did carry over to conference play against Minnesota (36:01).
Defense Stats That Will Be Broken
Iowa's defense ranks ninth nationally and third in the Big Ten. Iowa is the only school in the nation to not allow a rushing touchdown this season. Iowa ranks number one in the nation in red zone defense, allowing only one touchdown in nine trips to the red zone.
Roster Update
Running back Jordan Hall will be available this week. His role will be limited to special teams and certain running plays. Defensive lineman Tommy Schutt returns from a foot injury. Defensive tackle Adolphus Washington should be available as he recovers from an ankle injury.
