Can Indiana Make a Statement?
Indiana's season is off to a great start, but people are still talking about how they haven't faced any tough teams yet. Even with a perfect record, they had a bit of a scare last week, just edging out Michigan by five points. The offense only put up 20 points, which kept the game tight. Quarterback Kurtis Rouke hit 17 out of 28 passes for 206 yards, with two touchdowns and one interception. Ty Son Lawton was the standout on the ground, running 12 times for 55 yards. This season, the Hoosiers are scoring an average of 43.9 points, while their defense is allowing 13.8 points per game. The offense is ranked 2nd in the league, and the defense is 7th. If they want a shot in this game, their defense needs to step up. Indiana is set to face Purdue next week.
Can Ohio State afford to drop this game?
Ohio State might be the number two team in the country, but they've already lost once, and another loss would be a big blow. Their last game was against Northwestern, and while it wasn't their most dominant performance, they pulled off enough winning plays to secure a 31-7 victory. They put up 21 points in the second quarter but didn't do much after that. Will Howard completed 15 out of 24 passes for 247 yards and two touchdowns. Jeremiah Smith is the real deal, snagging four catches for 100 yards. This season, Ohio State is averaging 37.8 points per game, while their defense is only giving up 10.3 points per game.
