COLUMBUS, Ohio — Iowa football lost to No. 2 Ohio State, 54-10, at Ohio Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Hawkeyes lost by over 40 points for the first time since head coach Kirk Ferentz’s first Big Ten game in 1999.
Iowa scored one touchdown — a defensive scoop and score by lineman Joe Evans. The Hawkeye offense could only muster one 49-yard field goal by Drew Stevens.
The Hawkeyes had six total turnovers on the day. Senior quarterback Spencer Petras had two interceptions, including a pick six, and a fumble. Junior quarterback Alex Padilla, who replaced Petras in the second half, had an interception. On Padilla’s first snap of the game, the Hawkeyes fumbled the ball and the Buckeyes recovered. True freshman Kaleb Johnson also fumbled the ball with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter.
Ohio State had five touchdowns and four field goals on Saturday afternoon.

Really, it's utter coaching malpractice by Iowa.

Brady Quinn on halftime show: "If I'm Alex Padilla, I'm like, 'Hi Coach, do you know me? Can I come in the game right now?'"

#Hawkeyes finally making the QB change at the most unfair time to Alex Padilla — guaranteeing an inevitable implosion — just so the coaching staff can say “See, we told you Spencer Petras was the best option”… pic.twitter.com/gbnJiHWXf9

The Iowa defense forcing a turnover and then the Iowa backup qb, in his first snap of the season, immediately fumbling it away is the most Iowa football moment of all time.

Iowa's vibes are somewhere between "catastrophic" and "treason"

Iowa hasn't lost a game by 40+ since Kirk Ferentz's first Big Ten game, 49-3 to Nick Saban and Michigan State in 1999
