Didn't say it was but that's a gross oversimplification. They threw it 65 times. If it was Texas Tech, no one would bat an eye because that's what they do. Give them credit; Lagow made some NFL throws and their receivers are pretty talented. But if you wanna act like the sky is falling, be my guest.

Also the run defense was EXTREMELY encouraging. My lord it's been awhile since I've seen the defense completely dominate in the running game like that. I think the longest run they had was 7 yards or so and the Hoosiers are good for at least one long run when they play us.

Indiana is a good team and is going to put up a lot of yards in the air this year. Lagow was on point most of the
night and the receivers were mostly tall and athletic. Great test for our DB's and will help down the road getting
this experience.
5 sacks
9 tackles for loss
2 INT's
1 Fumble recovery (great effort by Landers. Could have gone either way)
DL was relentless. God have mercy on any team that goes with a 5 step drop
Rush D was stellar
This is exactly what we needed for OK.

"Cobbs was targeted by quarterback Richard Lagow (who happens to be a tree at 6-foot-6) 17 times on Thursday night. Eleven of those were catches, which Cobbs tallied for 149 yards and one touchdown. His touchdown grab was insane, as Ward was, literally, hanging all over him"
So, he WAS targeted by Lagow and Cobb. That being said; Cobb will probably make All Big Ten.

Well, 105 of that is in the second half, with an interception and QB fumble. This wasn't a game against Southern West-Eastern Mississippi State. Or Utah State for that matter. The first half was ugly but the second half showed signs of what lies ahead. Patience.

I can see the OU offense using this IU game as a blueprint, as they have similar WR personnel (big WR, big athletic TE and quick in space WR). The main difference is OU having the bigger O line, though I don't think they're all that experienced. Have Ward guard Jaylin Harris in practice, and practice on those jump balls may help. Same with Sheffield and Arnette, and possibly have Hawkins or Farrell imitate Andrews

Ten Things We Learned from Ohio State’s 49-21 Win at Indiana
Here's #3 and #10:
3. The defensive tackles can penetrate.
There has been so much talk about how good the Ohio State defensive ends are that sometimes the Buckeye defensive tackles get overlooked. Tracy Sprinkle, Dre’Mont Jones, and Jashon Cornell all had tackles in the backfield in this game, and they were a large reason why the Hoosiers didn’t have any rushing yards until late in the game. We knew Jones would be active, but it was great to see Sprinkle back out there and making trouble. You could tell he was having a good time. It was also good to see Cornell getting involved early on. His sack and forced fumble was a bright spot on the night. It’s probably not a coincidence that all three of these guys came to Ohio State as defensive ends who grew into defensive tackles. Of course, no defensive tackle penetrated into the backfield more than Robert Landers, who went about 30 yards into the backfield on his fumble return. All in all, the defensive tackles were a bright spot. We’ll have to see if they can hold up against an offense that actually runs the ball, however.
10. This defense is deep.
I think freshman defensive end Chase Young was in the game in the second quarter, and I’m assuming Jonathon Cooper was in there early as well. Indiana could have run their offense even faster than they were and the Ohio State defensive ends weren’t going to get tired because they have a thousand of them. Then at another point when the game was still in doubt, I saw sophomore linebacker Malik Harrison in the game for Dante Booker just because. There were four defensive tackles mixing in early, two strong safeties, and three cornerbacks. You know those videos of dogs having a great time drinking out of a blasting hose? That’s this defense against up-tempo offenses. They don’t mind it. They lap it up. And the defense is only going to get deeper as the freshmen become a larger part of the proceedings. Defensive tackle Haskell Garrett played a bit, as did cornerback Jeff Okudah. Others will be coming too. The depth here is incredible, but it would be meaningless without the freedom that the coaches feel to play so many different players.
