A closer look at Iowa and Ohio State

• IOWA: Ohio native Kaleb Johnson notched his second career 200-yard game (fourth consecutive 100-yard game), finishing with a career-high 206 yards on 21 attempts and three touchdowns in the road win at Minnesota on Sept. 21. Johnson has 12 rushes of 20+ yards and four touchdown runs of 25+ yards this season. The Hawkeyes have forced seven turnovers in four games – five interceptions, two fumble recoveries. The seven takeaways are fifth in the Big Ten and 42nd nationally. Iowa’s offense has committed just two turnovers in 16 quarters this season. Iowa hasn’t committed a turnover since Week 2 against Iowa State. (Iowa sports information)
• OHIO STATE: Offensive coordinator Chip Kelly has provided more than an early jolt to the offense. The Buckeyes are due to face better defenses in the months ahead, but Michigan State was good enough on that side of the ball to have provided a true barometer of progress. Ohio State continues to look better running the ball. The backfield duo of TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins averaged 6.8 yards per carry at Michigan State, and the offensive line kept Will Howard from being sacked against a defense that had brought down quarterbacks 15 times in its first four games. The offense has made meaningful strides. (Joey Kaufman, Columbus Dispatch)
