Ohio State vs. Indiana isn’t just a marquee rematch; it’s the linchpin of the Buckeyes’ season
There are plenty of perfectly understandable reasons that Ohio State wants to beat Indiana in Bloomington tomorrow. There’s the fact that the Hoosiers handed OSU an incredibly frustrating 13-10 loss in last season’s Big Ten Championship Game, denying the Buckeyes a conference title. There’s the opportunity to end Indiana’s impressive 22-game winning streak, knock off […]
Illinois favorites, Ohio State once again picked 8th in SB Nation preseason Big Ten poll

Ohio State’s offensive tackles vs. Indiana’s pass rush may decide Saturday
Most of the talk around Ohio State-Indiana will focus on Jeremiah Smith chasing Braylon Edwards’ record, Josh Hoover’s perfect interception record and whether the Buckeyes can avenge last December. But if Ohio State loses in Bloomington on Saturday, I think the reason will be on the edges of its offensive line. Remember how last year’s […]
MC&J: Week 7 in college football features Ohio State seeking revenge on Indiana
Last week ATS: 10-6 (5-3 National, 5-3 B1G) Season ATS: 70-53 (26-20 National, 44-33 B1G) What a start to the season it has been for MC&J. I can’t remember being so many games over .500 near the halfway point of the regular season. Of course there is still plenty of work to be done, since […]

Jermaine Mathews Jr. is quietly having his best season at Ohio State
There’s an old rule about cornerbacks — If you aren’t hearing a corner’s name, he’s probably doing his job. Nobody talks about the corner when the ball goes somewhere else, when the receiver he’s covering finishes with two catches, or when a third-down throw falls incomplete because the quarterback never pulled the trigger. By that […]
