Daily Buckeye Blitz: Ohio State vs Iowa Rewatch: What We Learned Before the 2026 Kinnick Trip

About this episode

The episode reexamines Ohio State's 35-7 victory over Iowa, highlighting key performances and lessons for the upcoming 2026 matchup.

Ohio State dominated Iowa 35-7 in 2024, but the game was only 7-0 at halftime before the Buckeyes finally pulled away. In this episode of the Daily Buckeye Blitz, we rewatch Ohio State's last matchup with Iowa and look at what still matters heading into the Buckeyes' 2026 trip to Kinnick Stadium. We break down Will Howard's efficient day, Emeka Egbuka's three-touchdown performance, Jeremiah Smith's big-play flashes, Ohio State's balanced rushing attack, and a dominant defensive effort led by Jack Sawyer, JT Tuimoloau, Ty Hamilton and Caleb Downs. Most importantly, we look at the lessons for 2026: avoid turnovers, make Iowa throw, handle the road environment, and don't let Kinnick Stadium turn a winnable game into a four-quarter mess. Ohio State won big in 2024. But will the formula still work in Iowa City in 2026?
