COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -Despite finishing solid enough to win nine of their 10 games, eighth-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes has been a slow starter – particularly on the road.
The Buckeyes (9-1, 5-1) would like to reverse that trend at No. 21 Iowa (7-3, 4-2) on Saturday. Riding on the outcome is a possible Big Ten title and Bowl Championship Series postseason berth.
It’s hard to imagine a team averaging 42 points a game – and winning by an average margin of 28 points – having so much trouble early in games. But it has been a nagging problem all season.
The Buckeyes have been tied or trailed early in all three of their previous road trips.
