Indiana Football vs Ohio State: Breaking down skill position matchups
By Alec Lasley
Ohio State heads to Bloomington to take on the Indiana football program and we break down the skill positions and who may have the advantage come Saturday.
It has never been much of an argument which team has better skill from top to bottom in the Ohio State and Indiana football matchup, but this year may be different.
No, Indiana doesn’t have more talent top to bottom, but when it comes to skill players on the offensive side of the ball, the Hoosiers definitely put up a legit argument.
The Hoosiers now have options, something they haven’t had in years. Whether it be depth at the running back position, or with the wide receivers, there isn’t a whole lot of drop off from their starters to even the fourth man down the depth chart.
Ohio State returns guys like J.K Dobbins and K.J. Hill who will look to lead the Buckeyes once again, but have some question marks after that with who exactly will step up all season long.
Justin Fields has never played in a Big Ten game before and will do so on Saturday on the road, in front of what should be a rocking crowd at Memorial Stadium. Will it rock him? Will he live up to the hype in his first big game of his college career?
Indiana and Ohio State head into another matchup that will look to go down to the wire and it will be up to their respective skill players to make big time plays. Whoever does that for their team, will come out with the win.
Lets break down the skill positions for the Buckeyes and the Hoosiers.
