Riley Moss was asked how the Iowa defense can slow down the offensive attack of Ohio State this Saturday. He gave one key for the defense according to Des Moines Register’s Chad Leistikow.

Moss stated that the main thing the defense should focus on is getting pressure. Moss also said that it becomes recess football if you can’t find a way to get to C.J. Stroud.

“If you don’t get any pressure on the quarterback, then it turns into recess football,” said Moss.

Iowa will face one of its toughest challenges yet in stopping this Buckeyes offense. Ohio State is averaging 543.7 total yards per game and is leading the nation in points scored per game with 48.8.

Michigan’s offense had 327 total yards of offense against the Hawkeyes in the 27-14 loss. The last time that Ohio State and Iowa played it didn’t go well for the away team. Iowa won 55-24.

We’ll see if anything changes when the two teams meet Saturday at noon ET on FOX.
