  • Spread: Ohio State -30 (-110)
  • Over/Under: 49.5 (-110)

  • In his last game: 361 yards, 6 TDs, 80.8% completion rate
  • Iowa struggles offensively behind QB Spencer Petras (54% completion, 2 TD, 3 INT)
  • Iowa's rushing attack split between Williams (230+ yards, 2 TD) and Johnson (230+ yards, 3 TD)
