2004 #23 Ohio State at Iowa Highlights

a day that feels more like mid-november than mid-october it's for the hardy souls in Iowa though at Kinnick Stadium they fill it up and they're making noise already because the number 23 team in the country is visiting the Buckeyes of Ohio State against the Iowa Hawkeyes welcome to Koenig Stadium Iowa City everybody I'm Brad Nessler you know the last time Iowa was able to beat Ohio State on their home field here their quarterback Drew Tate wasn't born as part of the problem for these two teams right now they got young quarterbacks couple of sophomores in Justin's WIC for Ohio State Drew Tate for Iowa but the winning streak at home for I was 15 games so we'll have to see if that comes into play today and by when you talk about young quarterbacks you talk about the opposition licking their chops a little bit we're gonna see some defense today both of these d that both of the quarterbacks are struggling you got outstanding defenses and a lot of good linebackers a Jayhawk for Ohio snake is a special player he's a difference maker he leads the conference in tackles they get their top quarterback also Dustin Fox comes back from a broken forearm he may be one of the best defensive backs in the conference and on the other side of things Kirk Ferentz has a pretty good defense in his own right a lot of experience on their side of the ball not only will their linebackers but starting up front with a guy I love watching to play that's Matt wrong Matt Roth the defensive ends a throwback he he's one of the top defensive players in the history of Iowa he's in the sacks he's at I think he's third but the other two of the linebackers Greenway and hodge-podge last year led the conference in tackles these three will have a big play in this game last year this game didn't have any offensive touchdown so the defenses are going to come into play and that means special teams will as well and you know Mike Nugent is one of the best kickers in the country keep that in mind time to warm up the fans will go down we come back then we'll kickoff between the hunt guys in the bucket here in Iowa City first three games compared the last twos I said back-to-back games where he has career highs even though this is the first year of his career great presents in the pocket to store keep his eyes down here to grow the full-back Mickens in there is a single setback fake it to him and now Solomon's been his favorite target and he just threw 11 yards for a score this would be a 45-yard attempt with the wind remember Nate Kaeding was a sensational kicker last year this guy's trying to fill his shoes or his position anyway why to kick down away that's a big kick there yes it is look here the sophomore with a 45-yard field goal and Iowa extends its lead with 12 minutes and 50 seconds remaining in the half Buckeyes that home run of the Buckeyes Hawkeye's of Kirk Ferentz lead at home trying to win their 16th straight at Kinnick Stadium they've got a 10 nothing lead this is the 100th game coached by Kirk Ferentz in his ninth season he was at Maine yep before being here at Iowa thought it might have been to catch in a fumble it's still going to be third long big play here you ideally now 839 you'd like to get six points out of the seven points off this drive but it worse do you want Nugent to come in and be able to get you on the board before all three wide apps Childress homes and Hall for the right side empty backfield guys try to win their 16th straight home game the fifth longest winning home streak in the country and through two quarters they've still got it in their grasp let's check in with swathi well coach you've got a 10 nothing lead which is always good going in a half time already 2004 has got to be four I will the season of the lost tailback I daresay look the way you throw in the ball often that's not going to have an impact on your gameplay we're trying not to think about that part right now we're keep playing our guys came ready to play today we played a good first half a little disappoint we let him drive the field that last series but we have 30 minutes left we just focus on that Oh chi-su second half alright guys and Kirk Ferentz talking about the fact that his team gave up a lot of yardage on that last Drive well coach it was 68 yards and 13 plays for the Buckeyes but they didn't get any points out of it so no harm no foul and your team still has the lead 10 nothing at halftime as a Hawkeye's head into the locker room our guys in the locker room the Valvoline halftime show with John Saunders Craig James and Aaron Taylor we'll be coming up next that'll be right after this message and a word from our ABC stations halftime ten nothing Iowa you're watching ABC Sports championship television typical I've game summary statistically in the first half as you might expect with Iowa in front to 2288 total yardage yeah that's a big one there turnovers are even three and outs for Ohio State they had the ball five possessions poor punts and the last possession they turn it over with an interception it I think I think when Ohio State has to do is just like they dip their and get differently not one on first down below the ball on first down Sun is Hawaiian just eating it off anymore here comes that lion down he goes and the ball is loose as well his wig looks like he's shaken up again who's got the football they still haven't given us a signal looks like he's hurt I think he's been hurting the whole ballgame I think it's Derek Robinson bob is going to cause the fumble right there I knocks it out there whenever you start to scramble you've got a hole on to the ball first and goal Iowa can they turn the turnover into a touchdown Hinkle goes to the left side the top of your screen Chandler touchdown if it wasn't six seven it wouldn't be seven I don't think that he's the bit HVAC former wide receiver stretched out to get his hand inside the pylon in the corner in Iowa leaves 16 to nothing his brother was the quarterback here last year Chandler why like you said was a wide receiver moved to an h-back tied in just came across and made the play Ross in the backfield swarmed under me lost a yard dual hives the first man there man has he been around the football a lot today Abdul jr. on a Fort Lauderdale Florida 6 to 232 he's a missile stuff like this and plays like this he is something else you can see how he had over a hundred and forty tackles last year to leave the Big Ten All Big Ten performer shot come on defensive end one of four kids two brothers and a sister Megan he says she got all the brains in the family his mom and dad waited before they built a new house because the three boys ruined the first one ha ha third Smith from his own zone in trouble Daniel's and it's wrong again just pushed him down much like he pushes down basic line when he didn't think much of the offensive line lazy disgusting but I respect them and great holders fat lazy and ugly but I respect him that's a good line I grain holding on old a lot play action and the Salomon again and then running down the field jerky it's a happy bunch of perky hot guys right now 36-yard touchdown a packed house of 70,000 400 on hand enjoying what they're seeing right now yard pass ploy take scrambling around katako heading to the sunburn Jamison flanked into the shotgun pulled down and six tato running with three touchdown passes the slant complete inside the five Kirsten go John McClain Solomon just got inside and with that big body the throat was right there Jim Tressel's never lost three games in a row and right now going into the fourth quarter it set up he'll swim for him because it's 24 to nothing Iowa leading Ohio State that could get worse in a player to its third and goal just outside the long the big offensive lineman helping to move the polyols in he happens to be a Buckeye affair for a washer dream karate championship 14 guys to the NFL Smith never got the ball the Lydell Ross he was tripping trying to hand it off coupling took advantage how the mighty have all is good the kick is on the way he's got some big shoes to fill considering the kicker they've had the last few years but that smile tells the story he's doing a pretty good job today 9:20 to play in the ball game still pitching a shot now it's Iowa 33 to nothing trance continues with his Ohio State I thought causing some havoc today again there he is there he is over here Matt Roth number 31 it doesn't seem very intimidating because he wears number 31 he has pulled past the offensive tackle at Shaffer number 68 brought the grew up in Villa Park Illinois wanted to be the next Dick Butkus I think is going to have to he's going to have to live with being one heck of a defensive lineman for Iowa he'll play on Sunday he wore number 31 is because he had one in all senior year as a wrestler that's right he's a wrestler he's so tough what a show drew tape put on for the home team today the making of a star at quarterback he may not be the biggest in the world but his arms pretty big and his heart's about the size of Texas which is where he came from Jim Tressel's never lost three in a row at Ohio State loses their first three in Big Ten Conference played for the first time in 16 years ABC Sports is online at espn.com search ABC Sports don't forget Monday 9:00 Eastern it's the
