What Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz said about Ohio State postgame

Ferentz, as always, heaps praise on the opponent when it makes sense. #GoBucks

Ohio State ran its record to 5-0 on the season after a convincing and dominating win over the Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday. The start may have been a little slower than OSU fans wanted, but the Buckeyes came out in the second half and exerted their dominance on the way to a 35-7 victory.

Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz knew it would be an uphill climb to waltz into Ohio Stadium and find a way to go toe-to-tow with Ohio State, and in the end it was too much to ask.

Ferentz met with the media after the game to provide his assessment of his team’s play but also to give credit to the Buckeyes on how talented of a team they are. In case you missed any of his comments, we have them here thanks to our YouTube channel.

In it, Ferentz talks about freshman wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, the veteran and talented defensive line for OSU, the talent on the Ohio State sideline in general, and more.

It’s now time for Ohio State to prepare for what many thought would be the game of the year. The Buckeyes will practice this week in preparation for the road trip to Oregon, one that will be a top five matchup.

We’ll have coverage leading up to, during, and after the game as usual, so come back and check in with us often.
