The Buckeyes are in for a Looooong Big Ten Season

They blew another one. This time they never even got close. Buckeyes drop to 3-3 on the season.

Drew Tate passed for three touchdowns and ran for another to lead Iowa to a 33-7 victory over No. 25 Ohio State on Saturday, the Buckeyes' third straight loss.

Iowa (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten) held Ohio State's offense to 27 yards rushing and 177 total yards in beating the Buckeyes for just the fourth time in 42 years. And the Hawkeyes had never beaten the Buckeyes quite like this.

Ohio State (3-3) is 0-3 in the Big Ten for the first time since 1988 after its worst loss since a 46-20 setback to Illinois in 1999. Only a touchdown with 2:19 remaining kept the Buckeyes from being shut out for the first time since 1993.
