Game Thread Ohio State @ Indiana - 09/14/19, 12:00PM (FOX)

I’m an IU fan and most likely biased. But I think Indiana is better than Michigan and Penn State. I could care less about who they’ve played so far. I feel like they have better athletes than those teams. Most of their players are from Florida.

You may feel they are playing better than both those teams right now (you are entitled to your opinion), but both have much superior talent compared to IU's roster. They may be from florida..... but there is a reason they are going to IU and not UF, FSU, Miami, even UCF and SF.

No offense man but having players from Florida means nothing if they aren't high quality players.

IU is better than years ago but better than scUM and PSU? No.

Well, if you look at their offer lists, most of them are legit players.

Maybe some are but you guys don't have enough of them is the issue.

I know. Just not a James Franklin or Jim Harbaugh guy. Neither program has a chance to pass you guys up. As an IU fan, I honestly do not fear TTUN, Sparty, or PSU. You guys have the only program in the Big Ten that makes my hands tremble on Saturday.

It depends.

Enough to beat Ohio State? No.

Enough to beat Michigan? Yes.

If he's a gametime decision they better not play him or we will wreck that dude if he's not 100%

That’s possible, but I think our line is extremely good in pass protection. They were last year and it has continued to this season.

I wouldn't be shocked if you beat scUM because their front 7 on defense is weak AF.

I would be surprised if you beat PED because they do have some dudes on both sides.

We actually like Harbaugh and Franklin. They keep getting in the way of their teams having any long-term success against OSU. In Harbaugh's case...... any success at all.

They haven't seen Chase Young yet. Ramsey has actually had some success against OSU before so I don't think it would hurt IU at all to have him back there on Saturday. May help OSU bc they have more tape on Ramsey. Pinex is more of an unknown.

I’ve compared Penix to Haskins. He hasn’t got his peak level yet obviously. But he’s that kind of talent.

but do they have the field stretchers and game breakers at the skill positions to challenge OSU's defense? That's what it is going to take to beat or even stay in the game with this OSU team and I don't think they have it this year. That's why they play the games though. Good luck to you this weekend.

GO BUCKS!!!!

Surprised so many people are falling for this parody account. Well played.

New year though and you lost 3 starters from last year. Also the teams you've played this year had nothing for you guys. Don't be disappointed if we get home on the QB 3+ times

Buckeyes would need to prepare for both QB's either way. Both have played and had early success vs. lower-tier competition. I anticipate seeing both of them bc whomever starts probably won't finish.... just my hunch.

our Defense will be pissed.
