Crazy that it took until late October for OSU to be aired on a Disney owned network. Not that I'm mad about it.

Now a few days past two months since DBB's post, and he has proven to be spot on. Indiana is 2-3 overall, and 0-2 in the Big Ten. Their two games in the Big Ten were 34-6 and 24-0, which works out to 29-3 per game. Their three out-of-conference games were a rout against a I-AA team, a loss to Cincy, and a two-point win against a team that is now 1-4 in Conference USA. And now they're without their star QB Michael Penix. It appears Indiana is about back to where it was four or five years ago, a team that will finish around or just below .500.

I have misplaced my pants.
Since 2001 (through the end of last year), Indiana has fewer wins against Big Ten teams than any other Big Ten team who was here in 2001. In fact, Nebraska, who has been here half of that time, has only 1 fewer win. And Nebraska isn't exactly lighting it up in the win column. Nebraska is 43-41 in conference games since joining the Big Ten. Indiana is 44-119 since 2001.
Ohio State (138 wins in that time) may catch the combined win total of #2 Wisconsin (107) and Indiana (44) at some point.
In case you're wondering (and since you didn't ask, I'm guessing you're not), it's a tight race for #3 - M*ch*gan (102), Iowa (100), and Penn State (99).

Does anyone know if Pennix will be out for this game? And Clifford for the next game?
This will be a big game for Indiana being at home and under the lights. But I don't see this game being close regardless of who plays at QB for them. Wouldn't be surprised if Allen tries pulling some tricks out of the hat.
GO BUCKS!!

Still week to week from what I've seen. Probably will be healthy by the 23rd though, if I had to guess. Not sure they'll even want to keep him as starter though.
This is the exact attitude you need right now. The team should be confident in themselves and I'm sure they know the real tests are coming up.
I do have to say though, there are a number years (2013, 2016, 2018, 2020) where Rutgers or Maryland would've made OSU sweat it out possibly into the 4th Q. Beating them by big margins doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things, but now the team understands just how quickly they can improve and become something completely different than at the start of the year.

Indiana hasn't been that bad this year; not on defense anyway.
The problem is their schedule. If the teams they've played can hold serve for a couple more weeks, they will have played half of the top 10 in their first 7 games. That's tough duty.
If you look at how their opponents to this point are constructed, the best of them are all defense-centric. So the 10e-17 torr suckitude of their offense isn't as bad as you might think; they may have faced as tough a slate of defenses as anyone in the country (though some of those are a bit of fool's gold on defense imho). On the other hand, the fact that their own defense doesn't look too bad is a little more of that fool's gold. They're ok, but their opponents aside from Western Kentucky are as bad on offense as the Hoosiers are.
I think they'll give the Spartans a game, and Vegas seems to agree. But with the improvement of the Silver Bullets, there is no freaking way their offense comes remotely close to keeping up with the Buckeye offense, not even at home, not even at night. Plunger time

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
I don't think we'll know anything about whether Penix pays against Ohio State until later next week or maybe even game time; it was reported earlier this week that Tuttle will be starting Saturday against Sparty and his status as "week-to-week" hasn't changed.
