The Buckeyes have played just one noon game through six weeks of action, but following this weekend's bye, Ohio State returns to Ohio Stadium for a matchup with Iowa that will mark its second noon game of the season.

The game will be televised on FOX, and Ohio State is encouraging fans to wear scarlet for its first meeting with the Hawkeyes since 2017's 55-24 upset loss in Iowa City.
Ohio State holds a seven-game home winning streak against Iowa, which last beat the Buckeyes in Columbus in 1991.
The Buckeyes will enter the matchup with an undefeated 6-0 record, and currently sits as the No. 2 team in the AP Top 25. Iowa holds a 3-3 record so far, which is its worst through six games since 2009.
