Coach & QB don't matter in college like they do in the NFL. Give me the team more suited for trench warfare.

Any game outside of tOSU vs the SEC champ is a waste of time for the NC. You could make a case for the top 4 only but the rest of this shite is tv static

This game is completely pointless for Ohio State. But Indiana winning the Big 10 would mean so much to the program. I can definitely see Indiana pulling the upset.

Conference championships are moot at this point. Day will probably sit Smith and Tate to save them up for the playoffs.

Indiana winning would shock me as little as them losing.

I see this game as a push with some sort of pivotal play(s) deciding - turnover/special teams/officials fix with bogus call, etc…

Ohio State is better because of their defense but this game is meaningless.

Penn State’s defense actually showed what it takes to beat Indiana. I think Ohio State wins by 10.

Penn State copied Iowa’s blueprint. Iowa by far the best defense Indiana faced this season, and the most effective strategy.

Iowa broke tendency and blitzed on 2/3 the snaps, didn’t allow them to get into rhythm on long drives, made Mendoza a single read guy. Iowa had them shut down all day until a guy blew a tackle on a huge third down with an all out blitz and a slant that gets stopped 3 yards short 98% of the time by the guys playing corner at Iowa—it went for 50 yard TD with a minute to go. Indiana didn’t average 3 ypc. This a week after hanging 60+ on Illinois.

Prior to that, Indiana had 13points and Mendoza was 12/22 for ~180 yards. His other TD drive came on a gift turnover at the Iowa 24.

That said, If Indiana can keep it close, they have the types of guys who seem to make the big play in big moments. I’m not sure their Defense can handle tOSU.

OSU is going to win by 14+

I said before today's game the spread should be double what it was.

Any rationale why? Or just because it's Ohio State and they're Indiana.

What position would you take Indiana over OSU honestly?

QB - Nope - you can all this a push
RB - Probably another push
WR - Don't even try and say this is even or close to even, OSU big
TE - OSU
OL - OSU
DL - OSU
LB - OSU
Secondary - OSU
Coaching - OSU

This isn't just blind homerism it is that I think Indiana is one of those teams who blows out teams they are better then but struggles against resistance. Iowa and PSU both played Indiana very tough. No one has really had a chance in the second half against OSU all year

I think you’re really downplaying those WRs

Indiana’s linebackers are really good

If both teams come out hungry and play like they both want, OSU should win this game. I don’t care who they played, the Bucks gave up ONLY 93 points in 12 games.. in this day and era, that’s an amazing accomplishment.

Indiana is the better team but Ohio State has the better collection of individual talent.

I don’t see any way the Big Ten lets Indiana win this game. Most people believe that Ohio State was a farce last year (and rightfully so) so they will do whatever they need to to prop them up this season.

I feel like OSU is going to come very vanilla, don't get anyone hurt, don't lose by much if it is a loss, don't show much for the playoff. The Texas game plan seemed conservative this way and even the game yesterday, although they did take few deep shots.
