Five reasons Ohio State beats Indiana on Saturday

Ohio State is set to host a top ten clash at the ‘Shoe against the Indiana Hoosiers. Here are five reasons the Buckeyes come out victorious.

Ohio State’s team speed

Indiana’s skill position players have had the advantage over a lot of teams this year in the foot speed department. Head coach Tom Allen’s contacts and recruiting prowess in Florida has allowed the program to get some of that talent up in Indiana, and it shows.

However, Ohio State is the unofficial champion of foot speed in the Big Ten. The linebackers can run sideline to sideline, the defensive backs have great closing speed, and the skill position players on offense are as dynamic as you’ll find anywhere.

OSU will erase that advantage in this one and limit the big play potential of Indiana’s offense. On the other side of the ball, the receivers will get separation and give Fields some wide windows to throw the ball into.
