   Number 2: Off-Script Ohio: Buckeyes head to Kinnick for top-15 showdown with Iowa

   Ohio State is 3-1 and heads to Iowa City for a top-15 matchup against an undefeated Iowa team. The Hawkeyes are coming off a dramatic 20-19 win over Michigan and have one of the nation’s best defenses, allowing just 8.0 points per game. Iowa has been balanced offensively, averaging 215.5 rushing yards and 213.5 passing yards per game. Quarterback Hank Brown has completed 68% of his passes for 700 yards, five touchdowns and zero interceptions, while Kamari Moulton leads the rushing attack with 284 yards at more than seven yards per carry. But the defense is what makes this Hawkeye team dangerous. Iowa ranks second nationally in scoring defense at just 8.0 points per game, setting up a major test for an Ohio State offense that has been rolling early in the season. Joey: Control the line of scrimmage. Ohio State cannot let Iowa dictate the pace of this game. The Buckeyes need to establish the run, win first and second down and force Iowa to throw the football early and often. Cole: The other key will be getting production from the wide receivers outside of Jeremiah Smith. If Ohio State can consistently win those matchups, it will make life much easier for Julian Sayin and the entire offense. Joey: Ohio State 27, Iowa 14 Cole: Ohio State 31, Iowa 14 Ohio State and Iowa kick off Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET from Kinnick Stadium, with the game airing on CBS. College GameDay will also be in Iowa City for the matchup.

   Number 3: Off-Script Ohio: Buckeyes roll past Illinois, but defensive concerns remain

   Ohio State is 3-1 after opening Big Ten play with a 42-19 win over Illinois. The offense looked excellent once again, but the defense raised some serious concerns heading into a massive matchup with Iowa next week. Cole and Joey recap the win, discuss what went right and wrong, highlight the players who stood out, and look ahead to one of the biggest games on Ohio State’s schedule. The offense was really good from start to finish. Ohio State finished with 518 total yards, including 367 through the air and 151 on the ground, while turning the ball over zero times. Julian Sayin had another excellent performance, throwing for 367 yards and four touchdowns while adding a rushing touchdown. That five-touchdown performance was a career high, and Jeremiah Smith was somehow even better, catching 12 passes for 217 yards and four touchdowns. There were also plenty of other players who stood out, including Ja’kobi Jackson, Riley Pettijohn, Jay Timmons and Jaylen McClain. McClain, Timmons, Pettijohn, Jermaine Matthews Jr and Kenyatta Jackson were among the defensive players who showed up despite what was otherwise a rough afternoon for the unit. This is the biggest takeaway from Saturday. Ohio State allowed Illinois to rack up 462 total yards, including 199 rushing yards on 6.0 yards per carry. The Illini also converted 50% of their third downs and didn't turn the ball over. After the Texas loss, it was easy to chalk some of the defensive struggles up to playing one of the best teams in the country. That's getting harder to do now. The defensive line in particular has not looked like the dominant unit Ohio State has had in recent years. The secondary has actually been one of the brighter spots, but the Buckeyes are going to need much more from the front seven as the schedule gets tougher. Ohio State heads to Iowa next Saturday for a massive Big Ten matchup in Iowa City. No. 17 Iowa just knocked off No. 18 Michigan 20-19 on a last-second touchdown, setting up a top 15 matchup for the Buckeyes. And yes, College GameDay will be there. Week 4 was absolutely ridiculous. No. 17 Iowa beats No. 18 Michigan 20-19 No. 1 Texas beats No. 14 Tennessee 20-17 No. 21 Florida beats No. 4 Ole Miss 52-28 No. 20 Oregon beats No. 12 USC 41-27 Wake Forest upsets No. 16 Louisville Wisconsin upsets No. 13 Penn State No. 10 LSU beats No. 23 Texas A&M 35-6 No. 24 Mississippi State beats No. 19 Missouri 31-24 College football officially got chaotic this weekend.

   Number 4: Off-Script Ohio: Illinois preview, and the start of Big Ten play

   Ohio State is finally ready to get into Big Ten play. After bouncing back from the Texas loss with a 59-3 demolition of Kent State, the Buckeyes welcome Illinois to Columbus on Saturday for the first conference game of the season. Cole and Joey preview the matchup, discuss what they want to see from Ohio State, break down the biggest threats Illinois brings to the table, and make their game predictions. The biggest thing is pretty simple, consistency. Ohio State looked exactly how they needed to look against Kent State, but Illinois should provide a much better test. The Buckeyes are still trying to figure out what this team looks like after the Texas loss, and Big Ten play is where those answers start to matter. Julian Sayin has looked extremely comfortable through three games, and the offense is averaging more than 46 points per game. Jeremiah Smith is already doing Jeremiah Smith things, while the bigger question is whether Ohio State can establish the run and continue getting contributions from the players around its stars. Defensively, the Buckeyes also need to continue building on what we saw against Kent State. The defensive line has plenty of talent, but Illinois will present a much different challenge than the Golden Flashes. Katin Houser is probably the biggest thing to watch. The East Carolina transfer has been very good through three games, completing 74.1% of his passes for 758 yards, eight touchdowns and just two interceptions. He's averaging 252.7 passing yards per game and has looked extremely comfortable running Illinois' offense. And then there's Collin Dixon. Dixon has been one of the best wide receivers in the country through three games, with 25 catches for 367 yards and seven touchdowns. Yes, seven. That's actually the most receiving touchdowns in the country entering Week 4. He also went absolutely crazy against Duke, catching 11 passes for 166 yards and three touchdowns. This could be a huge Devin Sanchez week. Ohio State's secondary has plenty of talent, but Dixon is the type of receiver who can punish even small mistakes. If Houser gets time and Dixon gets matched up one-on-one consistently, this could become an interesting matchup. Week 4 is absolutely loaded. No. 17 Iowa at No. 18 Michigan No. 20 Oregon at No. 12 USC No. 1 Texas at No. 14 Tennessee No. 23 Texas A&M at No. 10 LSU Oklahoma at No. 2 Georgia No. 4 Ole Miss at No. 21 Florida There are ranked matchups basically all day Saturday, so this is where the college football season starts to get really fun.
