COLUMBUS, OH. — Boyz around here were hoping that Ohio State would have a let down on Saturday against Indiana after running up to Happy Valley a week ago and knocking off the Nittany Lions in front of the White Out. The Hoosiers got off of the bus with crazy swag after starting the season 4-1. Well playas…they found out that they don’t call them THEE Ohio State University because they look good in their uniforms. They found themselves in a dog fight for most of then game but eventually had their way blasting the Hoosiers 49-26.
Indiana got off of the bus looking for a fight as they drew blood first methodically moving the rock down the field only to settle for a Logan Justus 37 yard field goal to go up 3-0. Ohio State answers with J.K. Dobbins touchdown with 2:58 left in the first quarter just to left a boy know that they are Ohio State.
Just a few minutes later Jermaine Haskins connected with Johnnie Dixon on a 39 TD pass to go up 14-3. At that point it seemed to be business as usual because he Hoosiers hadn’t beaten the Buckeyes since 1988. Ohio State coming into this game had a 23 game winning streak against these cats and now you can make it 24. However, nobody told these current IU players that they were supposed to just lay down and let them walk all over them.
Peyton Ramsey hit Peyton Hendershot on a 32 yard TD to close the gap to 14-10 after Ohio State’s Haskins throws a dull pick. With 7:04 left in the second quarter Ramsey finds Nick Westbrook for a 19 touchdown pass to make it 17-14 Hoosiers.
Now Ohio State is looking around like…in their Vince Lombardi voice, “What the hell is going on out here?” IU shouldn’t be in this freakin’ game…not even for this long. So guess what playa…Haskins finds Paris Campbell for an 18 yard touchdown pass to make it 21-17 and then the wheels started the fall off for the Hoosiers,
On the next possession Indiana’s Reese Taylor was stripped on the IU 32 yard line and the Buckeyes punched it right in just before the half when Haskins finds Terry McLaurin for a 7 yard TD pass to extend their lead to 28-17 with 2:16 left in the half.
Then the Hoosiers answered with a Logan Justus 37-yard field goal to settle on a 28-20 score at the break with Ohio State on top. What’s so crazy is that Indiana hit the Buckeye defense for 317 yards in the first half. That was the largest total they’ve given up all season at the half. I know ole Urban Myer for salty at the break. I bet he only let two or three people go to the rest room.
Coming right out of the half the Buckeyes tried to let a boy know what was up when Haskins hit Paris Campbell on a 71 yard TD pass. The dun was so wide open that there wasn’t an IU defender in the picture frame. It was clearly a blown assignment on IU’s secondary but I’m quite sure Buckeye Nation will take it. And just like that it was 35-20.
Now for some reason the Hoosiers didn’t get the memo again that they were supposed to lay down and die at that moment. Tom Allen and Co. kept on fighting. Ramsey connects with Donavan Hale for a 3 yard touchdown to climb to within 9 to make it 35-26.
The Buckeyes didn’t sign up for a dog fight with some duns from Bloomington, Indiana bruh, but they found themselves in one getting their shirts tattered.
Haskins just kept doing his thing and as he connected with Terry McLaurin on a 17 yard TD to extend the lead to 42-26. Finally that took the wind out of the Hoosiers sails. The Buckeyes score again and that wrapped the bow on it.
Jermaine Haskins had on the full clown suit on complete with the water spitting flower. Ole boy finished the day throwing 33-of-44 for 455 yards and count them 6 touchdowns and two dull picks. He shredded the Hoosiers as they gave the Buckeyes all they could muster. Sometimes playa, its is what it is. Every now and then you’ll run into a bunch of cats that will take your sneakers and jewelry regardless of how much you try to fight back, even with Big Momma standing on the porch watching.
Again…they aren’t ranked No.3 because they look good in their uniforms. Their depth chart is loaded with Five-Star recruits and IU’s isn’t. Great effort by the Hoosiers. Stop me when I start lyin’!
