The Buckeyes stifled the Hawkeyes in every phase of the game. They held Tavian Banks to 84 yards on 22 carries, 125 yards beneath his average, and only four rushing first downs. Iowa began the day with averages of 55 points and 568 yards a game, was held to one touchdown and 308 yards. Iowa's only points came on Matt Sherman's 4-yard pass to Austin Wheatley. He completed 18 of 37 passes for 189 yards and one interception. Tony Collins and Tim Dwight, the Iowa punt returners who had averaged 17.8 yards a runback, did not produce a yard today with no kickoff returns.
