Iowa releases final Week 6 injury report vs Ohio State

Ahead of Iowa‘s road trip against Ohio State, the Hawkeyes have released their final Week 6 availability report.

Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET live on CBS. It’s a short list for both teams:

Iowa:

WR Kaleb Brown – Out

Ohio State:

WR Carnell Tate – Questionable
RB TC Caffey – Out (season)
RB Rashid SeSay – Out
WR Reis Stocksdale – Out

The Hawkeyes are looking to walk into Ohio Stadium — as 17-point underdogs — and down the Buckeyes on their home turf. Meanwhile, the Buckeyes will try and improve to 5-0 on the season before traveling to Eugene for a massive Week 7 matchup against Oregon. That will be a top-10 matchup if Ohio State can stand strong against Iowa.

Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET and will air live on CBS and Paramount+. The over/under total is 45.5, and ESPN’s Matchup Predictor gives Ohio State an 89.8 percent chance to win the matchup.

Ryan Day opens up on facing Iowa QB Cade McNamara

Cade McNamara has already been part of two wins over Ohio State, first as Michigan‘s starting quarterback in 2021 and then as the Wolverines’ backup in 2022. Now Iowa‘s QB1, McNamara finds himself in another meeting with his old program’s arch-rival, as the 18.5-point underdog Hawkeyes gear up for a trip to Columbus this week.

“A veteran quarterback who has played a lot of football,” Ohio State head coach Ryan Day said of McNamara when he was asked Wednesday about facing the Michigan-turned-Iowa quarterback.

“Coming into an environment like this is something he’s used to. He’s playing good football right now and has made some really good throws this year. So, a veteran quarterback can go a long way in this conference, especially on the road.”

Two seasons ago, McNamara hit the transfer portal two days after J.J. McCarthy quarterbacked the Wolverines to a 45-23 win in Ohio Stadium, Michigan’s first victory in Columbus since 2000.
