The No. 3-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes asserted their dominance over Iowa with a decisive 35-7 victory in Columbus. The offensive showcase was highlighted by quarterback Will Howard, who threw for four touchdowns, including three to standout receiver Emeka Egbuka. After a slow first half leading only 7-0, Ohio State erupted in the third quarter, scoring 21 unanswered points. Freshman wide receiver Jeremiah Smith also dazzled with a one-handed touchdown grab, adding to the Buckeyes' highlight reel.
