    I have a feeling that IU is going to be beaten by Ohio State worse than Notre Dame beat them last year.

    Hoosiers draw first blood thanks to a Sayin pick but the Buckeyes defensive line is giving Indiana fits.

    Sayin, like against UM, throws a pick and the defense backs him up by forcing a FG. 3-0 IU

    A note, Lorenzo Styles was at ND as a Fr and Soph, he reportedly chose the Irish because they would let him try to play WR rather than DB where many thought he should play. He didn't make it at WR for the Irish and left to go back home and play with his brother. I see he's now starting at DB for the Buckeyes, sometimes the people evaluating your best position are right.

    Announcers curse. As soon as they said the IU kicker was the top Big 10 kicker and hadn't missed a kick all year i knew he couldn't make the kick.

    Great corner blitz by Hoosiers keeps it a 1 score game. Tate and Smith are lethal. The amount of talent OSU has is crazy.

    Both teams are really being forced to work for everything so far. Hoosiers have a sligh endge in the stats, but thy have not crossed the goal line yet.

    It seems clear that Ohio’s big advantage in this game is their WRs vs. Indiana’s DBs. Cignetti must be breathing a sigh of relief when Sayin hands the ball off to Jackson.

    If Tulane and JMU make the playoffs, they need to burn the present format to the ground.

    But if the offensive line cannot protect Sayin, the WR advantage is negated.

    1st time all season the Buckeyes have been behind in the 2nd half. 2 great throws by Mendoza and it's 13-10 IU.

    Whoa….Hoosiers are taking O’Keefe’s prediction of a rout personally.

    So I have to question not just running it on 3rd and 1, rather than the roll out pass. Also surprised he didn't again go for it on 4th and 1 rather then kick the FG.
