Ohio State vs. Indiana Preview: Can Hoosiers Win at Home?

Big game this weekend, Kev. OSU-Indiana. Indiana has not looked that hot. They kind of limped around there against Northwestern a little bit. They've been struggling, especially on the offensive side a little bit, trying to get that continuity. It is in Bloomington. Pretty big football game here for Ohio State. Got to get this game, no? Yeah, well, that's the interesting thing, right? It's like, man, there's no way this Ohio State team, even on the road, would lose to a pretty good – oh, wait, that already happened this year, guys. that all already happened and again most people think texas is just like actually bad at this point like that's how far the needles kind of moved on that team i'm a little surprised i've been a little confused at the ohio state perception from the preseason and that's continued smith is amazing i don't know why they're national title favorites they're not they're not i mean they're not better than notre dame and they're not a more obvious lock to make the playoffs than notre dame I don't think they look better than Georgia. They feel more like Alabama to me. And Indiana, even if it's a down year, it's still Kirk Cignetti at home as a dog. The three-and-a-halves are starting to go away. So I actually got in a little bit before we got going here, Dan, on the plus three-and-a-half with the Hoosiers. I think they win this game, but if they're going to lose it, I expect it to be close as can be. if it's close doesn't the thing that swings this game coaching Cignetti versus ryan day i mean isn't that that's kind of like the selling point for this game if it is close like you say and we're talking about small margins here by the end of the game i'm going with the dude that's showing that he's winning these big games late no but it's yes absolutely i do also think that just like the season Indiana is having is being a little um tossed aside Ohio State is the best yards per pass attempt offense in the country Indiana's all the way back there at second what are we doing they have a top five rush offense yards per carry they're a top five rush defense in yards per carry allowed i just indiana last year they were the best team in college football Fernando Mendoza won a Heisman Trophy won first overall okay they're not that they still I think have an argument actually to being the best team in college football you and I have talked about this there's no clear and obvious number one I think Indiana are a part of that if one of our team Notre Dame or Miami were playing Indiana tomorrow we wouldn't be kicking our feet up being like watch this easy 14 point win certainly not
