The Indiana football program welcomes in Ohio State and looks to pull off the upset on Saturday afternoon, to improve to 3-0.

After a solid week one neutral site win against Ball State, Indiana football followed it up this past Saturday by dominating Eastern Illinois 52-0.

It was the largest margin of victory in Memorial Stadium history as both the offense and defense looked primed for a huge match-up this Saturday when the Ohio State Buckeyes come into Bloomington.

The Buckeyes, 2-0, are coming off an absolute beat-down of a solid Cincinnati team and appear to be the early season Big Ten favorite once again.

Indiana head coach Tom Allen noted this week that Ohio State is “who this whole conference has been chasing” for years now. He went on to add that a victory this Saturday would be “program changing”.

The Hoosiers have been close for a couple of years, but look to finally break through this season against the Buckeyes.

In this article we break down the three keys to how the Hoosiers can shock the football world, and beat the Ohio State Buckeyes.
