Yep IU's offense is very read option based which has issues and can break down against good D'sThe thing they may be able to do is create pressure up the middle. That would be the single biggest thing, to me, to watch for from any opponent here on out. Can they get interior pressure and play 2 deep behind it...consistently?
If so, the our offense will have issues because now we are playing behind the sticks, into known/compressed passing windows because the RPO game is taken away and our deep crossers and seam throws are gone.
That said, IU's offense still has to deal with the OSU defense and it's bad match up for them for the reasons I stated earlier.
Take away chaos on special teams (just uneventful ST with good field position will do), avoid turnovers and protect Sayin up the middle and this game will be out of reach for IU mid 3rd quarter if that script is playing out and they are down 2+ scores.
