Wherever Ohio State goes on the football field, it seems to generate a lot of buzz, especially if the Buckeyes haven't visited for awhile. That sure seems like more of the same when it comes to OSU's visit to Iowa City to play the Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday, Oct. 3.

The game was announced as a sellout on social media by Iowa on Monday, with about two months to go (yes, we are that close). It makes sense in a lot of ways. The Hawkeyes are one of the Big Ten programs OSU just hasn't played all that often since the conference expanded and went to divisions, and that has continued now with the addition of the West Coast teams. In fact, the last time the two played was back in 2022, with Ohio State winning 54-10. The last occurrence of the Buckeyes traveling to Iowa City was back in 2017, something Hawkeye fans remember fondly with a 55-24 upset of OSU.

In other words, that's just twice in nine years the two have met, so you can bet that Iowa fans are excited to see what should be another talented Ohio State team come to play in Kinnick Stadium.

So what does this mean for Buckeye fans? If you were planning on heading out to the con fields and rolling hills of Iowa to watch OSU in a venue it just hasn't traveled to very often, you'll have to find tickets on the secondary market, and they'll probably be more expensive than usual.
