Game Preview
Indiana has a golden opportunity to shake off its past struggles, silence critics of its soft schedule, and potentially secure a spot in the Big Ten championship and College Football Playoff. The No. 5 Hoosiers (10-0, 7-0 Big Ten) travel to Columbus, Ohio, on Saturday to take on No. 2 Ohio State (9-1, 6-1 Big Ten) in a pivotal matchup with major postseason implications.
Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti knows the stakes but remains focused. “We’ve earned this position,” he said. “It’s a great opportunity, but it won’t help us play better. We need to stay locked in and execute.”
Ohio State, meanwhile, faces its third top-5 matchup this season. The Buckeyes narrowly lost to Oregon but managed a gritty win over Penn State. Head coach Ryan Day emphasized the urgency of this game: “This is a must-win for us to stay in the hunt. Everyone knows what’s at stake.”
The Hoosiers have benefitted from a favorable schedule, avoiding Penn State and Oregon, with their most notable win being a 20-15 victory over struggling Michigan. Quarterback Kurtis O’Rourke has been Indiana’s catalyst, ranking second nationally in passing efficiency and positioning the Hoosiers as a legitimate contender. Indiana’s defense, ranked No. 1 against the run, will be key against a tough Buckeyes ground attack.
Ohio State holds the home-field edge but has been slow out of the gate in recent games. Indiana, coming off a bye, hopes to exploit those early lapses. The Hoosiers haven’t beaten the Buckeyes since 1988, but Cignetti’s squad has a chance to end that drought.
For bettors, Ohio State’s strong home presence and Indiana’s elite defense make this a fascinating matchup. Indiana may cover the spread with its stout rushing defense, while the Buckeyes aim to leverage their offensive firepower for a decisive win.
With championship aspirations on the line for both teams, this clash in Columbus promises to be one of the biggest games of the season.
