IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) -- Iowa has welcomed the nation's top-ranked team into Kinnick Stadium before. But the hype surrounding those games was never this big.
The undivided attention of a national TV audience -- and possibly the best chance the Hawkeyes have ever had to knock off No. 1 -- has created an unusual frenzy in Iowa.
Top-ranked Ohio State (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) visits the No. 13 Hawkeyes (4-0, 1-0) Saturday night in one of the most anticipated events in the 78-year history of Kinnick Stadium. The game has been sold out since well before the season started, and tickets on eBay were going for as much as $500 a pop as of Wednesday morning.
"It's a huge game for us, this state, for everything involved with this program," senior quarterback Drew Tate said. "It's a huge game for them. They're No. 1 and they're trying to stay No. 1."

You better believe Drew Tate and Iowa will be geeked for this one. Can they give Ohio State a game?
