Iowa football rules out DB vs. Ohio State

The Iowa football program has a Herculean task in front of it on Saturday. And that challenge just got a little more difficult.

The 14th-ranked Hawkeyes are hosting No. 6 Ohio State inside Kinnick Stadium on Saturday afternoon as "College GameDay" descends upon Iowa City. Phil Parker's defense will have to contend with third-year Buckeye wide receiver Jeremiah Smith. And they'll have to do so without a key contributor on the back end.
