COLUMBUS — It’s been two long weeks since Ohio State took the field in the Horseshoe, but that all changes on Saturday. The Buckeyes host Iowa on Saturday in their Big Ten home opener.

No. 3 Ohio State (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) hasn’t lost a conference home opener since 2011 when Michigan State won 10-7 on Oct. 1. Head coach Ryan Day hasn’t lost a Big Ten game except for his losses to Michigan in The Game.

Lettermen Row puts together the viewing guide for the Buckeyes mid-afternoon tilt versus the Hawkeyes.
