The Buckeyes are heading to Iowa this weekend, and apparently Ohio State decided to bring a little heavy metal into the rivalry.

The Buckeyes posted a photo of several players recreating the cover of Slipknot's 'All Hope Is Gone' ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Hawkeyes.

And honestly… pretty damn clever.

Slipknot is from Iowa, so Ohio State basically found a way to troll the Hawkeyes using one of their own state's biggest rock bands.

And with Slipknot just announcing their 2027 tour, the timing is pretty much perfect.

Ohio State vs. Iowa. Saturday... Let the games—and the metal—begin.

The game is Saturday, October 3 at Kinnick Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
