Hank Brown Has To Beat Ryan Day Next.

Hank Brown just knocked off Michigan on the road. Now he's got to do it against a top-five team. No. 14 Iowa hosts No. 5 Ohio State at Kinnick Stadium this Saturday, and it's the biggest game the Big Ten has produced all season.

On this episode we break down whether Iowa's low-mistake, run-first formula can actually hold up against a Buckeyes roster with this much talent, and whether Ryan Day has fixed what went wrong on defense after Illinois put up over 500 yards against them. We get into Hank Brown's tape, the receiver who's suddenly become a real problem for opposing secondaries, and why Kirk Ferentz's approach gives Iowa a real shot at pulling off back-to-back upsets over ranked Big Ten teams. Then we flip it around and talk about what Ohio State has to clean up on the road, and why this is not a game Ryan Day can treat like a trap game.

By the end we give our real prediction for Saturday afternoon at Kinnick, and what a result either way means for both teams' playoff outlook the rest of the season.
