So in town for the game and hoping to get to Brewdog. Has anyone been and is it worth the trip? I have had some of their brews that have made it north of the border and have enjoyed them. Love the Elvis Juice.

Sorry for the divergence.....

Sounds like a great weekend man! Acceptable divergent topic and an area of my specialty! I’ve been to their main brewery in Canal and their brewpub in Franklinton. Depending on where you’re staying the ride out to Canal is a haul. They have limited release often featured at Canal but will have Punk, ElvisJuice, HazyJane and seasonals at their brewpub. The brewpub is an open air industrial kind of setup with food and a rooftop bar. Land grant is a block or so away also and is a good brewpub. They also have a brewpub in the short north.

If you have time I’d recommend Seventh Son (great beer, environment and they serve cocktails for your non-beer drinking gal) or Hoof Hearted. They have great beer but the environment is a little sterile. Wolfs Ridge is solid beer and has a surprisingly great kitchen if you’re eating din din. Can’t go wrong with any of those options...Have fun, be safe and enjoy the OH!

Re: Indiana's record against Ohio State since 1987: 2-24-1

Indiana Turns Back Ohio State for First Time in 31 Meetings

October 11, 1987

Despite the rain pounding down at Ohio Stadium, the sky was shining for Indiana. And the downpour only seemed appropriate for Ohio State.

Indiana, which had not beaten an Ohio State football team in its last 31 tries, shocked the No. 9 Buckeyes, 31-10, Saturday.

"I've known about Ohio State football since I was a freshman here in 1949," Buckeye Coach Earle Bruce said. "This is the darkest day in Ohio State football since I have been associated with it."

Indiana Coach Bill Mallory, who was an assistant coach along with Bruce under the late Woody Hayes, knows a little about Ohio State's tradition as well.

"You tell Earle I've had a couple of dark days, too, and I don't want to hear that," Mallory said with a laugh.

"We didn't come in here to lose, and this is a great confidence builder," Mallory said. "Now the people will understand that Indiana plays some great football."

The Hoosiers needed the 200 yards and 2 touchdowns on passes by Dave Schnell, the 126 yards rushing and 1 touchdown by tailback Anthony Thompson and strong performance by its defense to finally break the Buckeye jinx.

Schnell completed 15 of 23 passes, and Thompson had 34 carries.

Indiana outgained Ohio State, 405-264, as the Hoosiers rushed for 205 yards. Ohio State ran for 132 yards and passed for 132 more.

Indiana, 4-1 overall and 2-0 in the Big Ten, had not beaten an Ohio State team since Oct. 20, 1951. Ohio State (3-1-1, 1-1) had won the last 23 meetings since a scoreless tie in 1959 and had won the seven games preceding that for a 30-0-1 record in the last 31 games.

Ohio State, which had played through offensive difficulties in its first four games, was able to muster only 10 rushing yards in the second half and did not get a first down in the third quarter.

"You saw an Ohio State football team that in the second half got the devil knocked out of them," Bruce said. "Indiana did whatever they wanted to on offense and defense in the second half. I give all the credit to Indiana--they were well prepared and everything they tried was successful."

Mallory said: "All week long we harped on soundness. We wanted the kids to get into it and be on top of it all the way. . . . I think our older kids knew if we came in and made mistakes we would have no chance."

Indiana had no turnovers. Ohio State finished with three, including two on interceptions by Brian Dewitz.

Football: No. 3 Ohio State attempts to continue momentum against Indiana

IMG_0843-ukx16y-530x353.jpg


A 1-point win over a top-10 Penn State team isn’t anything new for Ohio State.

Last season, the Buckeyes came back from being down by 11 with less than five minutes to play to beat the then-No. 2 Nittany Lions 39-38 behind a historic performance from former quarterback J.T. Barrett.

Ohio State lost the following week in a 55-24 beatdown to an unranked Iowa team in Kinnick Stadium.

Now, 11 months later, No. 3 Ohio State faces a similar situation, and goes into a matchup against Indiana hoping history doesn’t repeat itself at Ohio Stadium.

Running backs coach Tony Alford said he won’t make the same mistake he did last season against the Hawkeyes.

“I didn’t do well enough to prepare my guys to play at the level they needed to play at to beat a good football team,” Alford said. “That’s on me.”

Indiana, on paper, has the record to do it — the Hoosiers come into the matchup 4-1, their lone loss coming at home with a score of 35-21 against No. 20 Michigan State.

The offense is led by redshirt sophomore quarterback Peyton Ramsey, another dual-threat quarterback who has 10 touchdowns on the season, eight through the air and two on the ground.

This will be the fourth straight quarterback Ohio State has faced who is known for making plays with his feet after redshirt senior quarterback Trace McSorley broke the Nittany Lions record with 461 all-purpose yards, 175 with his feet.

Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer said he sees a lot of McSorley in Ramsey’s game.

“They have a guy that’s a dual [threat] in Ramsey. He’s a gutsy player, man, and he’s one of those guys that creates something out of nothing,” Meyer said. “Last year’s quarterback that they started, he was dropping seeds on people. This has the other element.”

The quarterback “dropping seeds” last year was Richard Lagow, who threw 65 times for 410 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in Indiana’s 49-21 loss to the Buckeyes in their opening game of the season.

Ramsey completes 71 percent of his passes, with 1,039 yards, eight touchdowns and five interceptions. But don’t expect Ramsey to light up the stat sheet like Lagow; he averages nine yards per completion.

In the run game, freshman Stevie Scott takes a majority of the carries, earning 4.7 yards per rush for 464 yards and four touchdowns. Ramsey is up to 170 yards rushing through five games.

The offensive numbers don’t stand out much for the Hoosiers; they rank No. 65 in total offense with 412.2 yards per game and No. 80 at 28.2 points per game.

But the defensive side of the football has been Indiana’s strong point thus far, ranking No. 25 with 321.8 yards allowed per game.

The real strength comes from the pass defense, allowing only 163.6 yards per game, which is No. 14 in the nation. The Indiana defense also has accounted for 10 turnovers this season — tied for No. 13 in the NCAA.

“They played very well. Their scheme is outstanding. I think they’re very well coached,” Meyer said. “They have answers for everything.”

Statistical Projection: Ohio State vs. Indiana

Parris-Campbell-Indiana-Kickoff-Return-Ohio-State.jpg


October 6 – Ohio State vs Indiana
Game Summary
Don’t let the impressive 4-1 record fool you. The Hoosiers have been remarkably average in their first five football games this season. They had a nice road win against a decent Virginia team, but also lost by two touchdowns to a Michigan State team that, though ranked, has also struggled a bit this season.

In the in-between, they’ve taken care of some teams with a combined 6-9 record. They show promise at times, but the Hoosiers are who we think they are… a middle-of-the-pack team that has not beaten the Buckeyes since wide receivers coach Brian Hartline was one year old.

The game is in Columbus. The Buckeyes are coming off of a big win, overcoming possibly the biggest obstacle to obtaining their end goal. Ohio State’s talent level is superior at every position and it will show on Saturday. This will not be a close game, as they often are with Indiana. Instead, OSU will break out to an early lead and extend it at nearly every chance they get.

Those are all confident statements, but still too vague for my liking, so let’s get specific, shall we?

Quarterback Projections
Dwayne Haskins, no longer bothered by early WR drops and a rabid crowd that wants nothing more than for him to fail miserably, bursts out of the gates in this one with a commanding first drive. He accurately guides the Bucks to a score, picking apart Indiana’s secondary, and shows that he doesn’t feel like playing in the fourth quarter in this one.

He (again) completes over 20 passes, falling just shy of 300 yards. One forced pass goes Indiana’s way, but just short of a fifth of his completions go for TDs in this contest. He throws for four scores before exiting the game and allowing Tate Martell the chance to face another Big Ten opponent.

Martell doesn’t quite do to the Hoosiers what he did to Rutgers, but he moves the ball and kills the clock. His legs also add another highlight video, as he scampers for a 20+ yard run in the middle of the last quarter.



Running Back Projections
Approaching 100%, Mike Weber shares the load with J.K. Dobbins, each getting 15 touches, including one catch per back. Dobbins shows his usual, powerful burst through the line, making linebackers miss consistently. He rushes for over six yards per carry and ends the game with just under 90 yards and a TD.

Weber, like Dobbins, moves the chains but also has a breakaway TD run, pulling away from the Hoosier defense and gaining him 40+ on the play. At the end of this game, Weber has regained the rushing lead from his teammate, albeit by just two yards. Master Teague also gets into the action, joining Martell on the field in the fourth quarter and rushing for 20 yards.



Pass Catcher Projections
K.J. Hill, one of the Zone 6 heroes of the Penn State game, leads the pack with five receptions against the Hoosiers, one going for a TD. Parris Campbell, however, is the one making the SportsCenter highlights after the game, as he’ll catch and run for a fairly long score. He’ll also break through on a reverse and take the ball to the house from at least 40 yards out.

Joining in the touchdown fun will be Johnnie Dixon and Terry “Pancake” McLaurin, each catching a TD pass from Haskins. Austin Mack and Bin Victor move the chains a couple of times, along with Saunders, Berry and Farrell.

Thanks Biz! We love hitting various brewpubs while traveling. It’s just all going to depend on timing.
