Hoosiers get shot for signature win against No. 1 Ohio St.

See, it’s people like this who ruin games for the rest of us.

Nothing has seemed to change the preseason perception that it looks to be Ohio State and Michigan State at the top and then everyone else. This strategy has been undeniably successful, as the Buckeyes enjoyed six national championships from 1954-2002.

It all started January 8, 2007. Ohio State could have won by 80 points, and it would not have been enough for this guy. Quarterback play has been erratic, with Cardale Jones pulled in favour of J.T. Barrett as the Buckeyes relied on a defensive score to beat Northern Illinois – not exactly a powerhouse program. This time it was 38-24 to LSU. “Right now, Ohio State is the best there is”. “He’s starting to grow through the immaturity that we experienced when he first got here”.

Consecutive losses to USC.

Indiana coach Kevin Wilson will find out about his team on Saturday when defending national champion Ohio State brings a 24-game conference winning streak to Bloomington.

Then Urban Meyer came to town.

The Hoosiers haven’t faced a ranked team yet this season, and three of their games have been played in Bloomington. Let’s take a look at what the Buckeyes will be up against.

UCLA took care of business convincingly early in the season, put the breaks on a seemingly unstoppable Brigham Young team – granted, that win now is uncertain following BYU’s capitulation at Michigan – and really sent a message in primetime on Saturday night.

But players and coaches realize they must treat the Big Ten’s only weekend matchup between unbeaten teams like any other game. “Our No. 1 goal was to be 4-0 in September”, Shaw said. Blake Sims rolled to his right, and spotted his tight end wide open sprinting towards the end zone.

Even when the officials weren’t throwing penalty flags, they should have been.

But Ohio State made a quick turnaround the following year.

The Wolverines could make things interesting for the Buckeyes and the Spartans. But okay, we all get that Bell is really good at this point, but what makes him so good? The Hoosiers have always flashed offensive potential, but since the arrival of running back Jordan Howard, they have shown consistency and balance on offense not seen in a very long time. Still, as an alum, I would humbly ask that Ohio State at least explore the possibility of adding more Ohio schools. The Buckeyes are too talented to not land someone on this list. This versatility Ohio State regularly displays with its safeties would not be possible if it wasn’t for the tackling ability of number 11. Has that group come across an offense similar in profile to Indiana’s, with a power run game and a veteran QB? Roll a safety down to help with run support?

So as the Hoosiers prepared to punt from their own 4-yard line with a 20-14 lead and less than three minutes remaining in the third quarter, Marshall approached the Ohio State return team on the sideline and gave his orders.

The West Branch, Michigan, native turned in a solid all-around performance with a team- and career-high seven tackles.

If Ohio State’s defense rattles Sudfeld, the Hoosiers are done. “He’s continuing to earn more playing time, which I think is kind of cool on his part”. I think Tim’s just transitioning. Mistakes are one thing, but when I saw what I saw at that, that was not a good moment. Shaw isn’t anxious about his numbers this week. Armstrong leads the conference with 346 yards of total offense per game, most of which is coming through the air. I’m not running out to bet Maryland, but it would be the Turtle or nothing here.
