Prediction 2: Marvin Harrison Jr has a monster game for the Ohio State football team.

With all the attention on whether or not JSN is coming back for this game, and on the very good Iowa secondary, I believe Marvin Harrison Jr. will be amped up to prove his worth in this game. He’s been fabulous through the first six games of the season already.

Believe it or not, Iowa has not given up 100 yards receiving to any receiver so far this season. Through six games, in this day of age with the ball being thrown around all over, that’s an amazing accomplishment, especially with the type of offenses that teams run.

But that will end on Saturday. Harrison Jr. keeps getting better every week and appears to be C.J. Stroud’s go-to guy in the red zone. When Ohio State needs a big first down or a big catch, Stroud looks to Harrison. He’s been able to answer the bell every time his number has been called.

I believe this will continue against Iowa and I’m predicting a big day of eight receptions for 135 yards and two touchdowns for Marvin Harrison Jr. What’s crazy is that won’t even come close to one of his biggest days since he’s been a Buckeye. That’s how good he’s been.

My final bold prediction has to deal with the final score of this game.
