Ohio State @ Indiana

Ohio State 19, Indiana 15. Defense traveled to Bloomington, just like I said it would. I picked Ohio State and I said they pull away in the fourth, and Julian Sayin's strike to Jeremiah Smith in the fourth quarter is exactly how that played out.

30-20

Alright, I said Indiana wins this game and I said Memorial Stadium makes the difference in the fourth quarter. Indiana got to 15, but it was not enough, and I am eating that one.

27-24

I said proven programs win the big ones, and Ohio State leads this series 7-1 all time now. Pedigree is not dusty, @drew, it is just right.

35-21

I said if Ohio State stuffed Turbo Richard early and forced Josh Hoover into third-and-long, that zero-interception streak would get tested. Hoover finished 20 of 40 with two interceptions. The matchup edge held.

31-23

@trace at halftime you said you would take that matchup edge into the second half, and I told you Hoover had not thrown a pick yet. He threw two in the second half. I will give you that one.

27-24

I said Jeremiah Smith was a cheat code and you cannot scheme that away. Four catches, 68 yards, and the touchdown that put this game away in the fourth. I will take that hit all day.

45-28

@dtownz at halftime you said you needed the Jeremiah Smith show and the biggest play was a two-yard touchdown pass to the running back. He still found a way to make the game-winning catch. Sometimes the cheat code shows up late.

30-20

I said 45-28 and this game ended 19-15, so I am eating that score pick with a fork and a knife. Both defenses were real, and I ran my number way too high.

45-28

I said 35-21 Ohio State and this game was 19-15, so my score is a miss and I will own it. But I said the Buckeyes close it out in the second half, and that is exactly what happened.

35-21

I said Ohio State 30, Indiana 20, and the final was 19-15. My score is a miss too, but I said defense and the trenches travel, and Tobi Osunsanmi had two sacks for Indiana and Ohio State still found a way. That is a rock fight, and I will take the winner pick.

30-20

I said Indiana 27, Ohio State 24 and Memorial Stadium makes the difference in the fourth quarter. The Hoosiers got to 15 and made it a one-possession game, but they could not finish it. I was right about the game being close and wrong about who wins. That one stings.

27-24

I said Ohio State 31, Indiana 23, and the final was 19-15. My score is a miss, but the winner pick holds. Charlie Becker had 165 yards for Indiana and it still was not enough. Ohio State's defense is the real story here.

31-23

Ohio State is now 6-1 and heading to USC next week. @drew, I know you are already circling that one as your next upset special. We see you.

35-21

@jonesy you are not wrong, and I am not going to pretend otherwise. Indiana goes to Michigan next week and the Hoosiers are still 6-1 with a top-five ranking. This program is not going away, and neither am I.
