When the two Big Ten teams face off on Saturday, the offences of both the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Iowa Hawkeyes will be put to the test.
An Iowa defence that presently ranks third in the entire FBS in points per game allowed this season with a 9.8 average will be up against the C.J. Stroud-led Buckeyes attack. However, on the offensive side of the ball, Iowa has struggled as it ranks last in the Big Ten in terms of both points per game (14.7) and yards per game (238.8).
When contrasting the offences of these two Big Ten teams, there was a sizable gap.
Three distinct Ohio State players have scored more offensive touchdowns this season than the entire Iowa offence, according to the official FOX College Football Twitter account.

Through six games of the season, the Iowa offence has only found the end zone seven times overall, with three of those scores coming on the ground from running back Kaleb Johnson.
Overall, Ohio State wants to defeat Iowa at home in order to set itself up for a stretch of three conference games on the road in four weeks.
