What you need to know about Ohio State
You're bound to get a positive result if you outscore your opponent every quarter, and that's exactly how it played out for the Buckeyes last week. They were fully in charge, breezing past the Maryland Terrapins 66-17 at home. The contest was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 35-10. OSU quarterback C.J. Stroud was outstanding, passing for 406 yards and five touchdowns.
Stroud has taken his game to another level in the Buckeyes' last two contests, throwing for a whopping 736 yards and 10 touchdowns. Stroud's top two targets are Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson, who have combined for 61 catches for 1,040 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2021.
What you need to know about Indiana
There was early excitement for Indiana after they claimed the game's first points on Saturday, but it was the Michigan State Spartans who ended up claiming the real prize. IU was within a late touchdown of stealing the win, but they ultimately took the loss against MSU by a score of 20-15. Quarterback Jack Tuttle had a memorable game, but not in the way you want to be remembered. Aside from failing to produce a single touchdown, he threw two interceptions and fumbled the ball away once while filling in for the injured Michael Penix Jr.
The Hoosiers 2-4 overall record isn't pretty, but three of their four losses have come against teams ranked in the top-10 nationally. Indiana wide receiver Ty Fryfogle is dynamic and could give the Ohio State secondary fits.
