Coach Allen has done well to turn IU’s pass defense into a legit strength.

They don’t have the horses at RB that they usually bring. OSU’s back 7 will be tested in the air.

Feel comfortable saying this is a solid test for the Buckeyes, but nothing they should come close to failing. Glad they get a home game after a big win.

For someone flying to the states mid-week to drive up to the game in the morning, I welcome the 4 o'clock start. Time to leave from Cincy in the morning, tailgate, skull-session, ball game, and make it back at a reasonable hour. Any other time and I'd probably have to shell out for a hotel along with the game tickets and plane ticket I've already purchased.

That little slot/H guy they have (#21 iirc) will be a legit test. Very similar game to the little guy from PSU that went for 93 yards and to the stud frosh at Purdue. (I can't remember names to save my life obviously).

I'm with you, this will be a legit test for the OSU back 7.........with the caveat the grading will be on a curve due to the DL being able to harass the QB a lot.

Not too worried about a major "letdown" in this one.

Indiana's offense is meh, they're 49th in total offense but MSU is the only decent defense they have played.....they managed 29 rushing yards in that game. Sparty sacked them 5 times as well. They dont run particularly well overall, 4.3 YPC as a team is good for 76th in the country, 63rd in total rushing per game.

Ramsey has 8 TD/5 INT on the season. Could be a long day trying to throw the ball for them if our run defense plays up to capability. They seem to throw a lot of short passes, so tackling and not taking dumb angles will be the key for the secondary/LBers here.

Their defense has been "decent" but our offense will be by far the best they have seen so far.

Not worried at all... the home crowd can give us juice if we needed.

Also glad we beat PED considering we were looking forward to this game!

If I was as smart as I used to think I was....I'd find some calculation to factor in the "playing Ohio State" motivation. Like.....this team is 49th in total offense. How much do you want to bet they don't play like only the 49th best offensive team in the country this weekend? How much do you want to bet they'll do better than 4.3 YPC?
