Report card: Grading the Iowa Hawkeyes’ 54-10 blowout loss at Ohio State

Iowa surrendered a Ferentz-era high 54 points in the blowout loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes. Here’s the postgame report card.

Iowa (3-4, 1-3 Big Ten) has a losing record for the first time in 2022 after No. 2 Ohio State started slow offensively but found its footing after recess en route to four second half touchdowns and a 54-10 blowout victory.

The 54 points are the most any Iowa team has surrendered since the 1995 season, which means it’s also the most points a Hawkeye team has allowed under head coach Kirk Ferentz. It speaks to the explosiveness of the Buckeyes and how offensive ineptitude will eventually turn into a landslide against one of the nation’s best teams.

While it’s the latest result in what is morphing into a potential season to forget, the marks aren’t all failing grades for the Hawkeyes. Pull up a chair. Class is in session.
