Urban Meyer gives Ryan Day blunt Ohio State warning before Iowa clash after Buckeyes defense allows 462 yards

Illinois also ran for 199 yards. Quarterback Julian Sayin threw for 367 yards and four touchdowns against Illinois, while wide receiver Jeremiah Smith caught 12 passes for 217 yards and four touchdowns. Because ohio State allowed Illinois to gain 462 total yards in the Buckeyes’ 42-19 win, that defensive concern is worth watching. Because its offense was excellent, but the defensive numbers gave Meyer a reason to focus on that side of the ball, ohio State won comfortably.

“How can Iowa move the ball where Ohio State’s defense has at times shown some vulnerability? If they can do this, it will be a very close game. If they can’t, I think it’s a two score win for the Buckeyes. Ohio State has plenty of firepower on offense. Smith’s four touchdown catches tied an Ohio State single game record.

The warning comes after Iowa’s 20-19 win over Michigan and Ohio State’s 42-19 victory over Illinois. “This can’t be a 10 point, one touchdown game.

“If it’s all on Iowa’s offense, you can’t do against Ohio State what they’ve done other times,” Meyer said. “It’s going to be strength on strength: Ohio State’s offense against Iowa’s defense,” Meyer said. Former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer has pointed to one area that could make Saturday’s game against Iowa much harder for Ryan Day and the Buckeyes. Meyer believes Iowa must find a way to move the ball against Ohio State’s defense if it wants to make the game close. Meyer made his point on his Triple Option podcast while looking ahead to Ohio State’s trip to Kinnick Stadium. He does not think Iowa can rely on another low scoring game if it wants to stay with the Buckeyes. Even against the Wolverines, one of the touchdowns was a kickoff return. Ohio State’s too good to do that. But if Iowa can move the ball, this would be a street fight. The former Buckeyes coach sees a clear battle between Iowa’s defense and Ohio State’s offense. But he also believes Iowa’s ability to run the ball could decide whether the game stays close.
