Iowa vs. Ohio State is here, College GameDay is coming to Kinnick Stadium, and Legends & Listeners breaks down everything surrounding the biggest Hawkeye game of the season. Chad Leistikow and Scott Dochterman look back at Iowa's incredible 20-19 win over Michigan, including Hank Brown's game-winning 91-yard drive, Reece Vander Zee's walk-off touchdown catch, the emergence of Iowa's passing game, and why the Hawkeyes may have finally found their quarterback. The guys break down what made the Michigan win so special, where it ranks in Iowa football history, and why it could become even more important depending on how the rest of Iowa's season unfolds. Then it's time for the Ohio State preview. Can Iowa slow down Jeremiah Smith and Julian Sayin? How aggressive does Kirk Ferentz need to be? Should the Hawkeyes try to shorten the game or attack Ohio State through the air? Chad and Scott discuss Iowa's running game, the secondary, pass rush, Kinnick Stadium, College GameDay, and what the Hawkeyes need to do to stay competitive against one of the most talented teams in college football. The guys also discuss Iowa's recent history against Ohio State, the 2017 upset, the importance of avoiding turnovers and big plays, and why this could be a very different game than the 2022 meeting.

Week 4 gave us plenty to unpack. Florida handled Ole Miss, Texas-Tennessee gave us an incredible finish, Wake Forest went into Louisville and pulled off the upset, and Michigan showed some encouraging offensive growth, including two 100-yard receivers, but Iowa and Kirk Ferentz found a way to win despite Michigan controlling much of the game. We get into the Dylan Stewart suspension and USC suspending Desman Stephens II after his celebration while Dante Moore was down following a huge hit. Then there's potentially massive news for the future of college sports: the Protect College Sports Act passed the Senate 77-22 and now heads to the House. Plus, the new AP Top 25 and Week 5 slate, NFL Week 4 matchups, De'Von Achane's season-ending injury, Minnesota shipping J.J. McCarthy to New York, and a scary injury to Wild defenseman Brock Faber as hockey gets underway.Live Show Tuesday and Thursday, 3pm est.SOCIALS: https://linktr.ee/drewberquistWEBSITE: https://AirItOutBro.com #DrewBerquist #Balls&Banter #Balls

Looking ahead to No. 5 Ohio State at Kinnick with College GameDay on campus, they outline Iowa's upset path: improved rushing output, multiple turnovers, pressure on QB Julian Sayin, and avoiding an early deficit, while emphasizing Jeremiah Smith's elite talent and the national narrative around Iowa's playoff outlook.

Offense vs Iowa Starts at 0:54 The way we feel about this one is probably the way you felt about the Trouble With The Snap game. But in this game it wasn't one play that makes you go "oh come on" it was like eight. The team looked vastly improved and Iowa's defense will probably end up as a top 15 unit. Bryce was able to integrate into the run game and take advantage of that in the passing game. The defense did everything you could ask except for some tipped passes. Underwood had two huge errors - the QB sneak and the interception. Whose fault was the interception on? Are we in an inverse Wile E. Coyote year? Bryce had ways to attack the zone that were effective, it helps that he has two NFL wide receivers. They were crushing the defense until they shot themselves in the foot. There was consistent movement from the offensive line, injuries are becoming a concern. We started seeing some real production from the running backs. These holding calls are getting ridiculous, in part because they're holds that rarely get called. They ran Kuzdzal with Bryce as the lead blocker again. They only rushed for 3.8 YPA but that's enough when you're throwing for 9.9 YPA. Hogan Hansen is alive! Hoffman looked much improved. From a Bryce standpoint we're back on track to where we wanted to be. Throw it to a Rhino at least once! 2. Defense vs Iowa Starts at 38:22 There's not much more you could ask. There were multiple tipped catches for Iowa that are usually more likely to get picked. Hill had a little bit of a rough game. Trey Pierce dominated a lot in this game and Bobby Kanka made some nice plays. Iowa's biggest run of the game? 8 yards. There was more Staehling in this game which was nice to see. Do you want Hank Brown to make a fade on the final play? They ran press man. Iowa also ran perfect offense on the final play, what can you do. Iowa hasn't had a solid Big Ten quarterback in a minute, they have one now.  3. Hot Takes, Special Teams, and Game Theory Starts at 57:47 Takes hotter than Brian on the stairs in Michigan Stadium for 20 minutes after losing to Iowa on the last play of the game. Special teams made field goals, yay. Punting was okay, not Cam Brown's best game. Are you on team "don't return kickoffs"? A lot of Iowa kickoff players were out this game. You can't give up a straight line kick return, don't squib kick it. Kirk Ferentz still doesn't know how to call a timeout to call a Hail Mary. Kirk Ferentz isn't going to suddenly decide to go for it on 4th and 1. Run Hiter inside the five yard line? The play before Michigan's 4th down that Bryce lept was spotted short. Was he supposed to do a QB sneak and made his own decision to leap it? He learned a harsh lesson and he won't do it again. Was running the ball on the final 3rd and 5 the right move or do you let Bryce go and win the game on that final drive? He has thrown picks and screwed up a QB sneak earlier. You don't assume that Iowa's offense can go 91 yards in 1:40. All of these holding plays have been on defenders who are already out of the play. Zeke Berry's personal foul - a really soft call. There should have been three seconds after John Henry Daley got hurt so Iowa didn't just get a free play.    4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 1:33:01 Revenge of the Big Ten West Oregon 41, USC 27 Ban baseball slides. Desman Stephens should have played his last college football game. Sometimes you have sympathy for the defender but this was head hunting. But Dylan Raiola comes in and Nebraska fans get to watch him be a good quarterback! 19/25 for 289 yards and two touchdowns.  Indiana 29, Northwestern 23 A score that would not have been surprising three years ago. "Trophy go brrrr" -Jaime. Free Aiden Chiles! Northwestern stayed in this game by throwing to their tight ends. Indiana might only be good not great on both sides of the ball.  Wisconsin 24, Penn State 20 Penn State takes a 17 point off turnovers, but their offense got put in a locker. Was that the slowest 71 yard touch down pass you've ever seen? The Badgers are 12-4 under Luke Fickell when the expected starting QB starts and finishes a game.  Minnesota 27, Washington 24 Washington had 40 yards on 27 carries, they just can't run the ball. Washington fans are starting to turn on Jedd Fisch. Minnesota also can't run the ball, QB Drake Lindsey played alright but Washington's defense is suspicious.  Nebraska 31, Michigan State 13 Michigan State only has 257 yards of offense, turns the ball over three times, and gives up six sacks. State doesn't look badly coached, they just don't have guys this year. Milivojevic's skill position players are... Fred Moore? How real is Nebraska, actually? UCLA 54, Maryland 3 Total yards are 475 to 181. It did take UCLA a quarter to get going. Mike Locksley might not get fired, he might just leave and see if anyone would notice. Should the next team with a coaching vacancy just hire the James Madison coach? (No, their head coach is Billy Napier). Could UCLA make it to the Michigan game with only one loss and have playoff conversations??  Lightning Round: Rutgers 58, Howard 7 Notre Dame 49, Purdue 10 Ohio State 42, Illinois 19 MUSIC: "Gravity Blues"—Geese "Neverr Everrr"—Viallgerrr "I Missed Again"—Phil Collins “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra

Ohio State heads to Iowa City this week, so Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr went back and rewatched Iowa's 20-19 win over Michigan to get a better idea of what the Buckeyes are walking into.What did they learn? Iowa may not be flashy, but the Hawkeyes are still very good at dragging opponents into exactly the kind of game Kirk Ferentz wants to play. Michigan outgained Iowa for much of the afternoon, but the Hawkeyes capitalized in the red zone, avoided costly mistakes, won key late-game situations, and found a way to steal a road win in Ann Arbor.Tony and Tom break down Hank Brown, Iowa's running game, the Hawkeyes' receivers, their red-zone efficiency, the importance of turnover margin, and why Ohio State absolutely cannot let this turn into a classic Iowa rock fight.0:00 — Rewatching Iowa's 20-19 win over Michigan0:37 — How in the world did Iowa win this game?2:03 — The Kirk Ferentz formula is still alive4:13 — Iowa's offense: slow, methodical and hard to escape5:54 — The incredible bounces that helped Iowa6:51 — A 99-yard kickoff return changes everything8:08 — Even Iowa can have special teams problems9:50 — The stat that explains how Iowa wins games11:20 — Why Iowa doesn't need to force turnovers12:39 — What Iowa's offense can actually do13:57 — Ohio State has to get Iowa off the field17:05 — Breaking down Iowa's improbable final drive18:40 — How a Michigan injury changed the final sequence19:43 — Iowa's passing game still has limitations20:37 — Why Ohio State has to play sound, patient defense22:12 — Final thoughts on the Hawkeyes22:28 — Looking ahead to Ohio State at IowaThe biggest takeaway: Iowa doesn't need to dominate statistically to beat you. The Hawkeyes just need the game to stay close long enough for one turnover, one special-teams play, one penalty, or one late drive to decide it.Ohio State will have to stay disciplined, finish drives, tackle cleanly, and avoid giving Iowa the kind of openings that have made the Hawkeyes so dangerous in Iowa City over the years.Be sure to LIKE the video, SUBSCRIBE to the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, and check out BuckeyeInsiders.com for complete Ohio State football coverage.
