Canton
Indiana at Ohio State
Saturday, October 21, 2006
KICKOFF Noon, Ohio Stadium in Columbus. TV ESPNU (Massillon Cable Channel 34; not available on Warner Cable), with Clay Matvick on play-by-play and Brian Kinchen doing analysis.
RADIO Ohio State Radio Network (WHBC-AM 1480, WKNR-AM 850, WAKR-AM 1590) with Paul Keels, Jim Lachey and Marty Bannister.
ODDS OSU is a 31-point favorite.
THE SERIES Indiana is the doormat for the Buckeyes in Big Ten play. Ohio State holds a 64-12-5 lead in the series. The Hoosiers haven?t beaten the Buckeyes since 1988 and they have just two wins over OSU since 1952.
THEY?RE FROM INDIANA Former Canton newspaperman Don Mellett (Canton Daily News) attended Indiana. Mellett was assassinated in 1926 during his work in Canton that uncovered corruptness, for which the newspaper won a Pulitzer Prize a year later ... Another journalist, Ernie Pyle, has a hall in the school of journalism named after him. ... Actor Andreas Katsulas (?Babylon 5?) earned a master?s degree. ... Mark Cuban, who owns the Dallas Mavericks, and baseball?s union chief Donald Fehr are grads. ... Jared Fogle was a 425-pound student at IU before he became a spokesman for Subway.
GETTING TO KNOW TERRY HOEPPNER In his second year at Indiana, Hoeppner has been a head coach for eight seasons. He came to IU from Miami (Ohio) University where he was the head coach for six seasons. He led the RedHawks to a 13-1 record in 2003. Hoeppner got his start in 1970 when he was named head coach at Eastbrook High in Indiana. He played his college football at Franklin (Ind.) and earned a master?s degree from Butler. His hiring at Indiana was welcomed because the Hoosiers went with a native son. Hoeppner missed two games this year because he had surgery to remove a scar tissue Sept. 13 as a result of a brain tumor he had removed in December. The Hoosiers were 2-0 before Hoeppner?s surgery. They lost two straight without their head coach, and they?ve won two out of three since his return. Hoeppner coached Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger when both were at Miami.
WHEN OSU HAS THE BALL This could be a big day for the Buckeye offense. The players were put on notice they have played well on the road, but haven?t had an awe-inspiring game at home. Look for Coach Jim Tressel to stay aggressive. QB Troy Smith has a legitimate shot to win the Heisman and put even more separation between himself and others. Anything less than a 300-yard passing game from Smith could narrow the gap as expectations keep rising. The Hoosiers are allowing 216 yards a game through the air, and they have yet to play an offense with anywhere near this many weapons. IU may be able to cover WRs Ted Ginn or Anthony Gonzalez, but not both on a given play. Antonio Pittman will rush for more than 100 yards today. I-AA Southern Illinois had a 100-yard back, as did UConn, Wisconsin and Illinois against Indiana. This defense is giving up 172 yards a game on the ground. OSU?s OL holds a considerably advantage in size, speed and skill. Greg Brown is the closest thing IU has to a 300-pounder on the line. The Buckeyes have four.
WHEN INDIANA HAS THE BALL Establishing the run against a Buckeye defense that held Michigan State to less than 65 yards on 30 carries, will be a problem, and throwing the ball could produce turnovers. The OSU defense is one of the country?s best in creating turnovers. So that probably means Indiana QB Kellen Lewis will try to get to the perimeter on run-pass options and make OSU?s LBs commit. Lewis throws the ball well, and one of the best WRs in the Big Ten is Kevin Hardy. It will be interesting to see how OSU matches up with the 6-foot-7, 216-pounder. Last week again Iowa, Hardy caught eight passes for 104 yards and three went for TDs. The ground game has been problematic this year. Indiana has rushed for 150 yards as a team each of the last three games, but only RB Josiah Sears has hit the 100-yard mark individually. One of the reasons is continuity. He is one of three RBs, not including Lewis, who will get carries. Perhaps the most dangerous is return specialist Marcus Thigpen, who has three kickoff returns for a TD this year. Sears leads IU with a 6.2 yard per carry average.
NOTABLE Two local players are on Indiana?s roster. Alliance graduate Chris Banks (No. 80) is a backup WR and Dover graduate Chauncey Incarnato is an offensive lineman. Neither are expected to play much. Incarnato transferred to Indiana from Notre Dame. ... Indiana is 0-13 against No. 1 teams. ... When the Hoosiers score at least 30 points under Hoeppner, they are 6-0. ... Last week?s upset of Iowa was Indiana?s first win over a top-15 program since it beat OSU in 1987. The Buckeyes were ranked ninth then. ... Gonzalez has 34 receptions, and 29 of them have gone for a first down. Buckeye players are jokingly calling third-down plays third-and-Gonzo. ... Aquinas High graduate Jon Thoma is OSU?s backup punter. ... Lewis has led the Hoosiers back from deficits of 14 points three times. ... Only 14 OSU teams have started 8-0. ... OSU is second in the Big Ten with 33.6 points a game. The Buckeyes are 26-of-31 in the redzone this year with 22 TDs. ... Had the OSU second-team defense held a shutout against Michigan State, it would be ranked No. 1 in the country in scoring defense. As it stands, OSU is third, allowing 9 points a game. Rutgers is first at 8.3.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]No free ride for Hoosiers vs. Buckeyes[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]BY JIM NAVEAU - Oct. 21, 2006[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]COLUMBUS ? There will be no free gifts at Ohio Stadium this afternoon.
If you want that sort of thing, check with Central Michigan. That?s where you?ll find your gifts.
Give someone in the marketing or athletic department at Central Michigan credit for having a good idea. When Bowling Green went to CMU on Thursday night, two students who had their names drawn in a raffle won free tuition and books for a semester.
Add it all up and they went home about $4,000 richer.
This stunt was designed to guarantee a large student turnout because Central Michigan has to average at least 15,000 fans a game at home to avoid NCAA sanctions.
Teams like Ohio State have no need for such incentives. OSU sold more season student tickets (25,000) than Central Michigan has undergraduate students (20,000).
There will be no free gifts for Buckeyes fans. And just as certainly there will be no free gifts for Indiana when it comes to Columbus today.
The Hoosiers (4-3, 2-1 Big Ten) are one of the feel-good stories of the Big Ten after upsetting Iowa last Saturday. But No. 1 Ohio State (7-0, 3-0) appears ready to put an end to the Hoosiers? two-game winning streak.
If Ohio State?s isn?t up by three touchdowns by halftime, it would be surprising.
Some of Ohio State?s players were talking earlier this week about how their best games have been on the road and how they need to start fast.
That?s not good news for Indiana, which has given up big numbers in the first quarter of four of its games. Ball State was up 14-0 after one quarter, Wisconsin led 14-0 at the end of the first quarter, Illinois led 22-7 after the first 15 minutes and Iowa was up 14-7 after a quarter.
Today?s game kicks off at noon, so it could be an early start and an early finish.
Three things to look for today:
Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith should have plenty of time to throw and he should find wide-open receivers all day.
Indiana is next to last in touchdown passes allowed in the Big Ten. The only Big Ten team to allow more than the Hoosiers? 15 TD passes is Michigan State, who the Buckeyes torched 38-7 last Saturday.
The second thing to look for is Chris Wells getting his first 100-yard rushing game. Four running backs have gained more than 100 yards against the Hoosiers and a fifth ran for 94 yards.
With starter Antonio Pittman coming back from a sprained ankle, Wells could be the first option in the backfield for much of the game.
The third thing to check out is how much pressure Ohio State gets on redshirt freshman quarterback Kellen Lewis, who has started only four games in his career. Ohio State has 24 quarterback sacks.
Lewis hasn?t thrown an interception his last three games, but had two against Connecticut.
The prediction: Ohio State 42, Indiana 10.

Buckeyes hoping to avoid a haunting
Ohio State's 11-1 team in 1998 is remembered for its shocking loss.
COLUMBUS (AP) ? As much as No. 1 Ohio State is driven to keep winning, the Buckeyes also are motivated to keep from losing.
"This is for the rest of our life, this season," offensive tackle Kirk Barton said as the Buckeyes prepared for today's game against Indiana. "A season like this, if you drop one, that's what your season is going to be defined as."
Barton has a ready reference. Several members of the 1998 Buckeyes have visited practice over the past few weeks. They tell a sad tale about the one that got away, a blown big lead against Michigan State that resulted in a crippling 28-24 loss.
Those Buckeyes went on to complete an 11-1 season and finished No. 2 in the rankings ? yet are haunted by the one game they didn't win.
"If you drop one, you remember it forever. Just like the '98 team," Barton said. "They dropped that game to Michigan State and that's what they're known for. No one knows that they beat Michigan and beat Texas A&M in the Sugar Bowl. Everyone knows that they lost to Michigan State."
Rejuvenated Hoosiers
So Ohio State (7-0, 3-0 Big Ten) finds itself trying to avoid a slip as much as trying to add to its win total when it takes on the rejuvenated Hoosiers (4-3, 2-1).
"Handling success is just as important if not more important than handling adversity because when you've got people telling you how good you are and how you've earned it, to us we really haven't earned it," defensive end Jay Richardson said. "We're still not what we want to be as a team.
"We have our meetings and we always tell the guys, 'Don't believe the hype. Don't believe what all the people are saying. Because nothing means anything besides proving it on Saturday.' "
The Buckeyes have won their last 14 games, the longest streak in the nation. They've also reeled off 10 consecutive Big Ten wins and nine straight at home. They're starting a stretch of four games against teams they will be heavily favored to beat leading up to a showdown with rival Michigan on Nov. 18.
Something to prove
Indiana also feels it has something to prove. The Hoosiers have counteracted a three-game home losing skid with back-to-back conference wins at Illinois and at home against Iowa, both on fourth-quarter rallies.
They are 2-0 on the road this year. The last time they won their first three road games was in 1967, also the last time they won at least a share of the Big Ten title and made their only trip to the Rose Bowl.
The Hoosiers think they're ready for their close-up.
"We're excited. We're glad they're ranked No. 1," safety Will Meyers said. "We know all eyes are going to be on us to see how we respond."
The win over Iowa was Indiana's first against a team ranked in the top 15 of the Associated Press poll since winning at Ohio State in 1987.
