COLUMBUS – The Buckeyes will be looking for a sharper performance Saturday when Indiana visits the Horseshoe.
(2) OHIO STATE (9-0, 6-0) vs. Indiana (3-6, 1-5); Ohio Stadium, Columbus OH; Nov. 12 (Noon/FOX)
Ohio State’s passing game was grounded in high winds in a 21-7 win over Northwestern and they also had trouble running the ball for the third straight week.
Nevertheless, they are favored by more than five touchdowns over the Hoosiers, who are coming off a 45-14 loss to Penn State and have dropped six straight.
ABOUT THAT RUN GAME
Ohio State’s top back TreVeyon Henderson missed his second full game of the year last week due to an unspecified injury, leaving Miyan Williams to carry the load.
Williams had trouble finding space, especially in the first half when he gained only 22 yards in 11 carries. But he finished with a respectable 111 yards and two touchdowns.
Ohio State doesn’t disclose much information about injuries, so Henderson’s availability likely won’t be known until early Saturday.
