Practice Report: Buckeyes back to work after idle week, focused on physical Iowa defense

COLUMBUS — Now on the other side of an off week, Ohio State is somehow flying under the radar.
The Buckeyes weren’t in action this weekend, while Michigan and Tennessee notched top-10 wins to capture national attention. Now the Buckeyes are back to work preparing for Iowa while other programs around them are garnering buzz.
In preparation for the Buckeyes game against Iowa, they held a media session with head coach Ryan Day, defensive coordinator Jim Knowles and offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson inside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.
Spencer Holbrook and Tim May were back inside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on Tuesday, breaking down how the Buckeyes are turning their focus to Iowa in the latest Practice Report presented by Byers Auto. Every Tuesday following the media session with the Buckeyes, Tim and Spencer will chat about what they saw Saturday night and look ahead to what to expect from Ohio State the next Saturday.
After hearing from Ryan Day and other Buckeyes, the Lettermen Row crew is back for a full report on what it learned.
