COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio State Buckeyes released the trailer for their second Big Ten matchup of the season against Iowa on Saturday.
This week's trailer is narrated by former Ohio State safety Mike Doss who says, "Tradition bleeds Scarlet and Gray."
Dynamic shots from last week's Michigan State game carry Doss's message of tradition running deep in the football program.
Head coach Ryan Day closed out the trailer with a passionate message.
"Tonight's the night man. Tonight's the night we put it on the field. Every single play we fly around tonight," Day said.
Kickoff for the Iowa game is set for 3:30 p.m. on Saturday.

Ohio State vs. Iowa: Key matchup

Smith is every bit the playmaker he was advertised to be when he arrived as the No. 1 national recruiting prospect. His one-handed catch for a touchdown against Michigan State illustrated the point.
Harris is the highest-rated cornerback by Pro Football Focus among players who have appeared in more than two games. He has two interceptions, including one he returned for a touchdown.
