  "account": "Ohio State's upcoming football game against No. 17 Iowa is set to begin at 3:30 p.m. ET on October 3, broadcast live on CBS. The Buckeyes will travel to Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City for the first time since 2017, when they suffered a 55-24 defeat. The last road victory against Iowa by Ohio State took place in 2010.\n\nWide receiver Jeremiah Smith played a crucial role in Ohio State's last meeting with the Hawkeyes during the 2024 season. He scored a 4-yard touchdown and amassed 89 yards on four receptions, contributing to a 35-7 Buckeyes win. For Iowa, this upcoming game against Ohio State marks their second consecutive matchup against a top-20 opponent. After opening Big Ten play against No. 18 Michigan on September 26, the Hawkeyes will face Ohio State the following day.\n\nIowa finished nonconference play with a 3-0 record after defeating Northern Iowa 55-0 on September 19. Iowa outscored their nonconference opponents 111-13 and managed to keep Iowa State from scoring during their 16-13 victory. If Iowa maintains their current ranking of No. 17 or rises in the AP Poll next week, it will be their highest-ranked team when facing Ohio State since 2009. During that game, Iowa was ranked No. 13 and Ohio State No. 9.",
