What to Expect

Indiana can score points, but the defense has not kept them in games. The Hoosiers have scored 20 points or more on seven occassions, and they only won once. There are high expectations for freshman QB Roberson, who like Miller can run and throw. Unlike Miller, he has only been the starter for two games. Like Ohio State, Indiana is missing a top receiver, in Indiana's case it was the dismissal of Belcher who is an experienced senior, while Ohio State is still missing senior Devier Posey (until the Penn State game.) Not helping maters for Indiana is injured receiver Wilson. Look for Indiana to get 150 passing yards and 125 yards on the ground. Braxton Miller will likely run less this week, as the Indiana D-Line should be held in check by Ohio State. I expect Boom to get 120 yards and Carlos Hyde should carry the ball the majority of the second half, assuming Jordan Hall is not available. Chris Fields will handle punts and kickoffs if Jordan Hall does not play this weekend. I expect Ohio State to get 175 passing yards and 190 rushing yards. Ohio State will win this game with a final score of 38-13.
