The Iowa Hawkeyes got their first bye week at just the right time before what is probably their biggest and toughest game of the season. The Hawkeyes will take on Ohio State, the top team in the Big Ten so far this season. The Buckeyes are the team to beat in the Big Ten, and they have not shown many weaknesses on their team.

The Hawkeyes were able to prepare for two weeks for this big matchup and not just prepare but get healthy. Iowa is in line to get their second-best running back, Leshon Williams, back from a leg injury. Williams will be a great pair with lead back Kaleb Johnson, who has 685 yards, nine touchdowns, and averages 8.4 yards per carry.

The running game will be the highlight for both teams, as the Buckeyes have the two best running backs in the country as their one-two punch. Iowa's defense will truly be tested and Phil Parker will have to dial up a lot in order to take down Goliath.
