And there's your final. 49-21, Ohio State. The far more talented team pulled away at frightening pace. On to a huge game against Oklahoma for the Buckeyes

Hey, Indiana has positive rushing yardage now. Up to six

This game is a blowout, so let's all watch this New Mexico State catch, which might already be the catch of the year

49-21, Ohio State. TD by Antonio Williams

Indiana fans chanted O VER RA TED while leading by one. Then Ohio State scored 22 unanswered. Audio: https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2017/8/31/16238168/indiana-overrated-chants-ohio-state-2017

Indiana now just five-wide on every play. Buckeyes pretty much know what's coming. The sideline circus catches no longer happening. Aaaand there's an INT by OSU's Denzel Ward. That oughta do it.

If you just looked at the box score, nothing would seem amiss. With 12 minutes left, Ohio State's ran for 225 yards, Indiana's ran for -2, and both QBs' numbers look nice and productive. Doesn't tell the whole story by any means, but superior talent likely winning out.

So after that opening scare, Ohio State is currently covering the Vegas spread. 42-21 lead in Bloomington

Oh no, fumble Indiana. Ohio State recovers.

Ohio State forced to punt, Indiana takes over at the Hoosiers eight yard line. Long way to go for the IU offense.
