Five keys to Ohio State beating Indiana this weekend

Ohio State takes on a top ten Indiana squad this week in the ‘Shoe. The Buckeyes are huge favorites but here are five keys to victory.

Indiana loves to bring pressure to cause mistakes, stop that and you stop Indiana…

The Ohio State offensive line has had some ups and downs this season, and against Indiana, it needs to be on point. The off-week should help it going into the Indiana game, and it has to step up to stop the onslaught that Indiana will want to bring. Indiana relies on the pass rush to force mistakes and stopping that will stop Indiana’s opportunistic tendency.

With Indiana playing a lot of zone, stopping the Hoosiers pass rush and giving time for the receivers to get into the soft spots will be a huge key to victory. The line has to play better this week and I think it will. Opening lanes for the run game will help, but keeping Fields clean will be the ultimate key.
