COLUMBUS — Ohio State is off the couch and on the field.

The Buckeyes wrapped up their bye week a day early with a Monday practice and since then it’s been non-stop for the country’s second-ranked team.

The Buckeyes last took the field on Oct. 8 for its first away game of the season and it trounced Michigan State 49-20. Quarterback C.J. Stroud tossed six touchdowns and the starting defense only allowed the Spartans to gain 105 total yards through three quarters.

The Buckeyes not only return to action, but they return home to Ohio Stadium where they welcome Iowa into Columbus for the first time since 2013.

The Buckeyes are hopeful that with the bye week, it can introduce a few players back into the lineup including star wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, running back Miyan Williams and cornerback Jordan Hancock.

While the status of those players and more won’t be known until Saturday, what information Lettermen Row can provide is how to watch the Buckeyes host the Hawkeyes in their first Big Noon Kickoff of the season.

Let’s dive in.
