Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET in Iowa City, Iowa, with the game airing on CBS. Our top Ohio State vs. Iowa touchdown scorer pick is Buckeyes running back Bo Jackson.

Jackson has been a key part of Ohio State’s rushing attack, leading the team with 283 rushing yards through four games. He also found the end zone against Illinois, combining with Ja’Kobi Jackson for 109 rushing yards and a touchdown. With Ohio State expected to lean on its ground game against an Iowa defense allowing just 87.8 rushing yards per game, Jackson should have opportunities to make an impact near the goal line.

💰 Ohio State vs. Iowa best touchdown bet

Bo Jackson enters this matchup with two rushing touchdowns and 283 yards on 50 carries through four games, averaging 5.7 yards per attempt. The Ohio State running back remains the projected starter against Iowa, giving him a clear opportunity to handle valuable touches near the goal line.

The Buckeyes will face a Hawkeyes defense allowing just 87.8 rushing yards per game, so efficiency will be important. However, Jackson has already demonstrated his ability to break through for explosive runs, and his combination of workload and scoring potential makes him a strong candidate to find the end zone.
