Somewhat methodical.  Longest play was the TD of 14 yards.

NO NEGATIVE PLAYS, although there were a couple no gainers in there.  Don't love the swing passes to the RB's, but they are in there to keep defenses honest. One run that Iowa won the LOS and stoned Q for no gain.  The entire OL was very good on this drive.  Some large holes created.  They appear to be communicating well with each other.

NO PENALTIES!!!  Very well executed across the board.

SHARED THE BALL with catches by Bryson Rodgers and Will Kacmarek mixed in.  Again, keep the defenses honest.  No catches by J. Smith because this offense is multiple.  He also missed a block on Howard's scramble that cost the play from gaining a first down.  He's got work to do on his blocks, but the kid ain't bad ;-)

EGBUKA ON PACE to become the all-time yardage leader for receivers at OSU.  He sits in 10th place currently, just 5 yards behind Santonio Holmes.  At his current pace (86.6 yards/game) he would pass Michael Jenkins in the game against Indiana on 11/23.  That would be great since it's a home game.  If he continues making catches on his current pace of 6/game he would finish 2nd on the all-time receptions list by the end of the regular season with 196 career receptions. K.J. Hill sits at 201 catches, so at current pace Egbuka would pass Hill in the B1G CG or a bowl/playoff game.
