If there was any question that Ohio State wanted to make a statement against Indiana, the Buckeyes left no doubt about their intentions in the final minute of Saturday’s 38-15 win.
Ohio State certainly didn’t need to score again when it got the ball back at Indiana’s 40-yard line with a 16-point lead and only 1:53 left on the clock. TreVeyon Henderson knew that when he broke through the middle of Indiana’s defense for a 39-yard run and slid down at the 1-yard line. That would have allowed Ohio State to run out the clock with a pair of kneel-downs, but the Buckeyes decided they wanted to score instead.
