Two Guys: Previewing Iowa vs. Ohio State and Iowa State vs. West Virginia, Top Games of Week 5

Iowa vs. Ohio State is one of the biggest games of the college football season, and Two Guys break down exactly what the Hawkeyes need to do to stay with the Buckeyes at Kinnick Stadium.

Chris Williams and Chris Hassel dive into the massive Iowa-Ohio State matchup, including Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State’s loaded roster, the talent gap between the two programs, Hank Brown, Iowa’s offensive game plan, and why the Hawkeyes may need to be much more aggressive than they were against Michigan. They also discuss Iowa’s College Football Playoff chances with a win or loss against Ohio State.

Can Iowa stay in the game long enough for Kinnick Stadium and the Hawkeyes’ special teams to make a difference?

Then the guys turn to Iowa State vs. West Virginia and a critical matchup for the Cyclones. They break down West Virginia’s run-heavy offense, Michael Hawkins Jr., Cam Cook, Iowa State’s defensive struggles against Utah, Aiden Flora’s importance, and why the Cyclones need to get their explosive playmaker more involved.

They also discuss Iowa State’s offensive identity, Jaylen Raynor, tempo, play-action, and whether the Cyclones need to open up the offense after last week’s loss.

Plus, Matt Campbell’s controversial comments after Penn State’s loss to Wisconsin, the pressure at Penn State, Jamie Pollard’s future, the biggest Week 5 games, and the guys’ weekly locks.
