Ohio State's depth chart for the Iowa game looks identical to its depth chart for the Penn State game, but that doesn't mean there won't be any personnel changes this week.
Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer said Tuesday that there will be personnel changes on special teams, specifically in regards to the kickoff unit that allowed its second kickoff return touchdown touchdown of the season against Penn State on Saturday. It's uncertain whether those changes will include another change in kicker, as Sean Nuernberger – who kicked off against Penn State – is still listed as a co-starter on the depth chart with Blake Haubeil, who was Ohio State's starting kickoff specialist for six of its first seven games.
Ohio State might not have any changes planned for its offensive or defensive lineups, but as we've seen in previous weeks, the depth chart might not be an entirely accurate reflection of which players will see more playing time than others at each position, especially in regards to second- and third-string players, should the Buckeyes build enough of a lead at Iowa to play their backups.
Notes from this week's depth chart:
- Parris Campbell is listed on the depth chart even though Meyer said he is questionable to play this week after getting "dinged up" on a kickoff return against Penn State.
- Josh Myers, Wyatt Davis and Tate Martell are still listed on the depth chart even though they have yet to play a game this season.
- Rashod Berry and Luke Farrell are still listed as co-backups at tight end, although it appears Berry has separated himself from Farrell as the Buckeyes' second-team tight end at this point.
- Although Lewis and Bosa are still listed on the same side of the depth chart at defensive end, as are Hubbard and Holmes, Lewis and Bosa played opposite each other as the starting defensive ends against Penn State while Hubbard and Holmes played opposite each other as the rotating defensive ends.
- Michael Hill remains absent from the defensive tackle depth chart despite playing on Saturday against Penn State, while neither Davon Hamilton nor Haskell Garrett participated in that game.
- Chris Worley and Tuf Borland are still listed as co-starters at middle linebacker, although Worley returned to his starting role while Borland played only seven snaps against Penn State.
