Ohio State welcomes Indiana this Saturday. Here is all you need to know about this Big Ten match-up.
The Indiana Hoosiers travel to Columbus this week to take on No. 3 Ohio State. While one team is ranked and the other is not, this could very well be a compelling game for the afternoon slate. Both are coming off slim Big Ten conference wins.
Indiana has started the year off strong; sitting at 4-1 needing just two more wins to be bowl eligible. After going undefeated in non-conference play, the Hoosiers fell to ranked Michigan State at home by 14 points. Last week Indiana bounced back against a struggling Rutgers team. Quarterback Peyton Ramsey threw for 288 yards and a touchdown along with another on the ground to life the Hoosiers to a 24-17 victory. The question remains: Can Indiana truly compete in the Big Ten? Going up against a powerful Buckeyes team is no easy task.
Urban Meyer returned against Tulane and Ohio State is continuing to roll. The Buckeyes are undefeated and look like a team capable of earning a spot in the College Football Playoff. Quarterback Dwayne Haskins has been the difference-maker on offense. The sophomore has piled up 1,464 yards through the air along with 19 touchdowns and only two interceptions.
A ground game led by Mike Weber and J.K Dobbins has aided in Ohio State averaging 49 points per game through the first five weeks. Nick Bosa remains sidelined after having surgery on a core muscle. His absence was certainly felt last week as the Buckeyes barely squeaked by Penn State.
Saturday’s game will be nationally televised on FOX, meaning this one can also be streamed using the FOX Sports Go app. Fans can also stream the game on Fubo TV with a paid subscription.
