Ohio State vs Indiana Game Preview

Why Indiana Will Win

Will there be a massive wind storm like Ohio State had to deal with in the 21-7 win over Northwestern last week in Evanston? No, but there’s supposed to be a decent breeze.

The Hoosiers will take anything they can get.

Ohio State goes in spurts. It took a while to put away Penn State, there were a few too many stalls throughout the last few weeks, and even with the bad weather it took too much work to get by a miserable Northwestern.

Even though the only thing anyone could do was run – and everyone knew what was coming – the Ohio State defense still gave up over 200 yards to the Wildcat ground game.

But …

Bowl Bubble: Every Team’s Bowl Situation

Why Ohio State Will Win

Indiana isn’t running for 200 yards. It probably isn’t even getting to 70.

The offense can’t get anything moving – it hasn’t come close to 100 yards since the Week 3 win over WKU – and the passing attack isn’t steady enough to make up for it.

Indiana can throw. It was able to push Maryland with a good day, and throwing for 200 yards is likely, but there’s not enough steady firepower.

Ohio State doesn’t have to worry about any sort of steady pressure from the Hoosier defensive front, and it doesn’t have to worry about its defense getting gassed.

Indiana is dead last in the nation in time of possession.

What’s Going To Happen

Ohio State will open it up a bit, just because.

The Northeastern game was frustrating because of the weather, and now it’s time to let the offense go off.

Next week is a trip to Maryland and then it’s on against Michigan. This is the fun home game, and the team will play like it with a big start to all but end this in the first quarter.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Ohio State vs Indiana Game Preview


Why Ohio State Will Win

The Indiana offense isn’t there.

It was fun against Idaho, and it worked okay against WKU, but in Big Ten play it scored a grand total of 21 points in three games. Granted, the Hoosiers faced Iowa, Penn State, and Michigan State, but it’s not like Ohio State is a week off – even with its mediocre D.

On the flip side, the Ohio State O is the most productive in college football. It was five yards away from 500 in the opener against Minnesota and cranked up well over five bills against everyone since.

QB CJ Stroud has settled in. He’s playing at a Heisman-level stat-wise, TreVeyon Henderson might be the best running back in college football, and Indiana doesn’t have any prayer of keeping up any sort of pace if the Buckeye machine gets going early.

Week 8 CFN College Football Expert Picks

Why Indiana Will Win

The Ohio State defense is a whole lot better now that it’s not dealing with Oregon, but it’s still a bit suspect.

Granted, most teams are throwing to try keeping up the pace – and not doing a good job of it – but Akron is the only team that couldn’t get to 200 yards through the air.

IU can’t make this any sort of a shootout, and time of possession won’t matter that much since the Buckeyes can go on a one-play scoring drive at almost any time, but controlling the clock as much as possible matters.

The Hoosiers are good in the time of possession battle, overall the defense has done its part to keep games alive. No one has gouged them yet, with Cincinnati being held to just 328 yards and getting key points from the special teams. And …

What’s Going To Happen

Indiana is incredibly plucky.

It hasn’t been able get the season going thanks to a slate with four top ten-caliber teams in the first six outings.

It couldn’t do anything offensively against Penn State, but even in the 24-0 loss the game never got out of hand. The Iowa loss was over fast thanks to turnovers and a big early offensive hit, but the Michigan State game was a close fight and Cincinnati was there for the taking.

Yeah … this one won’t be that close.

The rested Buckeye offense will need a little while to stretch its legs, and then the big play drives will come. The IU offense won’t be able to keep up the fight after the midway point of the third. Then it’ll open up.
