A less disgusting scenario than OSU losing(although only by a small margin):
Indiana has inside track to the championship game if this game is canceled and they win out. In that scenario, the tiebreaker after head to head (null) and winning percentage (both 1.000) is winning percentage of cross division opponents. Wiscy/Purdue lis very likely to have better combined record than Corn/Illinois.
7-0 Indiana goes to championship game. Playoff teams are Bama, OSU, Hoosiers, and the Fighting Fickells (because why not)

Hopefully the defense can generate a lot of pressure with that human swinging gate Indiana has playing LT, #77 I think? Penn State was abusing him.

To add to that, Indiana has not ran the ball well at all (2.7 YPC as a team) Dont let Penix have forever to throw and they should have this.

Fuck all this Hoosier bullshit. Fuck them in basketball and fuck them in football. Pinstripe wearing assholes. -21 points is a gift. The only way Indiana has a positive outcome this weekend is if they pull a Maryland and say everyone has Covid. They will not stop the Bucks from putting half a hundred on their asses so the Over is an absolute lock and anyone thinking they'll put 30 or more on us is insane. This team has been hungry all summer and fall so how hungry do you think they are now that they were forced to sit out a week during the season risking their championship run? Get real folks.
Buckeyes win 55-24.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Allen said he’s fully aware that Ohio State has held the standard for recruiting and winning games in the Big Ten for a long time, but that it’s “who’s going to play high-level football for 60 minutes” that will ultimately come out of Saturday’s game victorious.

Should happen but unbelievably with no games guaranteed...this team is looking ahead(I don’t understand it) to the CFP. These games bore them..

What time is it?
Glad you have inside information and lockerroom access to know the team mindset. Feels more like a young D, limited practice as a team and even positions resulting in execution mistakes. Though do agree Buckeyes tend too and always have taken foot off the gas instead of throat punching teams.

The defense has to grow, they have been unable to replace the production of what they lost. Fuller Harrison and Arnette were bigger losses than we thought. The hype (out of the WHAC) that our DE’s and LB’s had taken big strides forward has not happened. Our guards and center don’t execute. Indiana will not be a pushover..

IMO, the 11W write up was dead on. The team that can give it's QB time to pick apart the defense and, conversely, speed the other QB up will win.
If you are scared of IU, ask yourself which team you honestly think can do those things better?

They're largely playing 10v11 in the running game to keep Justin healthy, and doing so with still healing RBs.
This also has the makings of the best passing attack they've ever had, and they seem to occasionally remember what a tight end is (that can't be overstated).
There are certainly things to improve upon, but I don't see an unfocused offense. I don't think focus is the issue on defense either. They're down four dbs, the LBs are playing better, the DTs are a lot better despite losing multiple guys (and one very good NFL DT), and they're finally experiencing a dropoff from the "top3 pick at DE" level of play after 5.5 years.
