The Scarlet and Gray will be facing off against the Indiana Hoosiers. In most seasons this would be another game that you could chalk up as an easy victory for the Buckeyes before opening kickoff. However, this season the Hoosiers are much better than they have ever been in the past.
Indiana is off to its best start since 1993 where they would finish their season 8-4 with a loss to Virginia Tech in the Independence Bowl. Also, this is the first time that Indiana has been ranked in the top 10 since 1969. Lastly, this is the first time the Hosiers have been 4-0 in Big Ten play since 1987.
