Recap

Ohio State's defense set the tone early, with Justin Fields scoring on a 3-yard run in the first quarter to open the scoring. The Buckeyes' offense was relentless in the second quarter, combining explosive plays like a 56-yard J.K. Dobbins run and a 37-yard touchdown pass to Chris Olave with stout defense that forced a blocked punt for a safety. Indiana managed a late touchdown pass to Peyton Hendershot with 1:07 left in the half, but Ohio State dominated the second half with three more touchdowns, including a 40-yard run by Master Teague III and a 96-yard interception return by Damon Arnette that sealed the rout. Despite Indiana's 215 passing yards, the Hoosiers' inability to move the ball on the ground (42 yards) and convert third downs (3 of 17) proved fatal against Ohio State's balanced attack.
