Ohio State will breeze past Indiana
“Vonn, if you go to Alabama you’re going to be seeing me anyway”. The incident came on the heels of Thornton’s return from a two-game suspension for a violation of athletic department policy.
Ohio State Coach Urban Meyer, who Wilson said is as good as anyone in the country, said he was disappointed in the Buckeye defense during his weekly press conference. If Indiana gets blown out, well, that’s what happens when Indiana and Ohio State play football. Against the Broncos, nine players caught balls for the Bucks, including Michale Thomas, who snared six for 80 and a TD. Then things began to change. “This is where we start to achieve our goals this year”.
That hasn’t happened because Ohio State has dominated the series, though. He’s coming off a 19-of-34, 205-yard day at Wake Forest which included a TD pass and no turnovers, and will have to be better against Ohio State.
Marshall gave Meyer the reliable weapon at H-back he had been searching for, capping his first full season with five catches for 52 yards against Oregon in the national title game. All of their tougher games come at home, including the important November 21 matchup against Ohio State.
Indiana (4-0) is attempting to snap a 20-game losing streak against a team it has beaten only two times since 1952.
On Saturday the top-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes travel to Bloomington, Indiana, to battle the Indiana Hoosiers at Memorial Stadium. And an Ohio State win this weekend looks like: 49-24. Let’s get a DB on the “Zone 6” board. The Buckeyes have surprised nobody by being undefeated through four games, but the Hoosiers’ 4-0 record is certainly a pleasant surprise. And boy has it paid off. Bell showed flashes of how good he could be as a true freshman, most notably in the Orange Bowl against Clemson where he denied Taj Boyd with this absurd interception.
MISSING LINK: On Tuesday, Indiana suspended starting defensive tackle Darius Latham indefinitely and it’s not likely he’ll play Saturday.
You have to admire the optimism of Indiana football season ticket holders. “It just made me feel like I had finally accomplished what I came to do, which was to be a good Buckeye football player and help the team win“. The Boilers held Michigan State to 14 points in East Lansing two years ago, but could barely cross the 50.
As is tight end Marcus Baugh.
Even when the officials weren’t throwing penalty flags, they should have been. Unfortunately for Kiffin and Sims, Kiffin fell short of being Nostradamus for a third time, at the hands of Mr. Vonn Bell. “He’s taking care of his business on and off the field”. And not just by fans. “There’s not a special formula to compete with these guys”. That was the most sacks for an Indiana team since it notched seven on October 27, 2012 at hapless Illinois. The Buckeyes don’t even try to distinguish the safety’s rolls on the team’s depth chart, as both Bell and teammate Tyvis Powell are simply listed as “SAF”.
Finally, the schedule works in Ohio State’s favor more than Michigan State.
IU has played Ohio State well in recent years, though. He’s sixth on the team with 15 total tackles.
Ohio State has been excellent at run stopping this season.
Keep it close, hope for the best, and if it goes the way that so many have gone before, get on to the next. “He’s continuing to earn more playing time, which I think is kind of cool on his part”. This could be his first, last and best chance to take advantage of the national stage.
