haha no disrespect guys but being shocked OSU is favored? what are we even doing? Indiana is good but come on.

A lot of what Indiana does defensively has been this offenses Achilles Heel for several years.

true but they also lost alot on back end of their defense. Theyre good I get it, but they arent THAT good

As in not having enough screens and quick throws?

Watch the Rose Bowl vs. Oregon. They were using that same counter play to set everything else up. The first JJ TD, the second JJ TD, and the Trey TD were all the exact same sets and counter action.

their secondary is vulnerable i know that. attack!

Agreed.

Eerily similar to the 2024 ttun game at least from our offense's perspective. Please dont try and man ball this.....play to your strengths. Indiana's secondary is 76th in EPA per dropback and even made Aiden Chiles looks serviceable as a passer

102nd in special teams is yikes considering that fucked OSU last year in the B1G title game.

Birm makes a good point about how big of a game this is for Sayin. How last year's IU game changed the whole perception of him as a QB. He needs a big performance in a big game

alot of good stuff here....

It's likely they are going to double up on Jeremiah. Hopefully this will free up others that Julian can also throw to.

like previously mentioned. If Sayin balls out Indiana will be hard pressed to keep up and this defense should feast. Hoover is beyond due to throw some meatball subs

The only thing I take contention with is relying upon Bey to a key part.

The real key part is Bo Jackson keeping the offense on schedule with his running. If the running game gets going - and we all know Jackson is the bell cow in that part of the offense right now - that makes things easier on Sayin for the passing game and then Bey for the explosive game playing off of established tendencies.

No they aren't. They went undefeated in the new extended playoff era. Some would say that is the hardest undefeated season ever.

They deserve maximum respect.

I think we can win, but after the injury report its a toss up.
