Iowa's offense committed 6 turnovers (3 fumbles, 3 interceptions) which gave OSU an average starting field position at their own 45 yard line.
The first half scoring for OSU looked like this:
4 plays, 1 yard, FG
10 plays, 75 yards, TD
4 plays, 4 yards, FG
5 plays, 17 yards, FG,
8 plays, 24 yards, FG

Iowa's defense slowly but surely ran out of gas in the second half which even the best of defenses will do, particularly against the #1 scoring offense in the country. At their place.
Peace.
