By the Numbers: Comparing Ohio State and Indiana
COLUMBUS — Ohio State has won 26 straight games against Indiana, and it doesn’t look like that streak will come close to ending Saturday in the Horseshoe.
Indiana’s in town, and the Hoosiers are on a six-game skid after starting the year 3-0. It’s not a friendly matchup for head coach Tom Allen’s team.
Allen is a defensive head coach, and he reclaimed play-calling duties on that side of the ball this season, however, the Hoosiers have struggled to slow down opponents in 2022. They’re in the bottom third of the FBS in most defensive categories this year.
