What to Expect

Indiana is a passing team, and they will attempt to win it through the air on Saturday. OSU should be able to get some pressure on QB Chappell, as the O-line for Indiana looks vulnerable. Indiana will run the ball, but not very often. Look for OSU to limit Indiana to 75 yards on the ground and 200 yards in the air. Indiana has never beat a #1 team, Indiana has never beat a #2, and Indiana has only beat a #3 team once and that was in 1967. OSU has dominated Indiana in the past and that will continue in this game despite the improved Indiana passing game. Pryor won't run much, although reports indicate he is capable of running. Look for OSU to run against this weak run defense that allows over 200 yards/game on the ground. There will be at least four running backs used by OSU on Saturday and that will open up the passing game. The O-Line should be able to make holes much easier as the passing game develops. OSU will get 275-300 yards on the ground and 200-225 yards in the air. The Buckeyes will win 41-17.
