How to watch NCAA Football: Iowa vs. Ohio State kickoff time, how to stream and more

After a restful bye week last weekend, the 3-1 Iowa Hawkeyes travel to Columbus for their next game against the Ohio State Buckeyes. The Big Ten Rivalry pits Iowa's QB Cade McNamara against the Buckeyes' undefeated Will Howard. Howard's fate briefly appeared uncertain when he was forced to forfeit last week's Big Ten game against Michigan after suffering a hard hit that sent him sidelined, and eventually returned to the game in the second half. The Hawkeyes vs. Buckeyes game will air on CBS on Saturday, October 5 and will be available to stream on Paramount+ with kickoff at 3:30 p.m. ET. Here's how to watch the Ohio State vs. Iowa Big Ten game this Saturday.
