COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -Ohio State wide receiver DeVier Posey thought his prayers had been answered. Long-snapper Jake McQuaide worried about an earlier miss that would have eliminated the need for this overtime field goal.
Linebacker Ross Homan was just relieved that a long, difficult day was finally over.
Devin Barclay’s 39-yard field goal in overtime gave the 10th-ranked Buckeyes a dramatic 27-24 victory over No. 15 Iowa a year ago, sending them to the Rose Bowl for the first time in 13 years.
The two teams meet again on Saturday, with the stakes just as high. No one has forgotten the nail-biter in the gathering darkness in Ohio Stadium on Nov. 14, 2009, and the Buckeyes hope another win will help send them back to Pasadena.
