Indiana Football: Predicting the 2020 season part two
Indiana @ Ohio State
Oh boy. This is the tough one. To know how tough it is, one simply has to refer to the ghastly box score from last season’s matchup between these two teams.
The final score in Memorial Stadium was 51-10 Ohio State, and they did absolutely anything they wanted to the Hoosiers. J.K. Dobbins rushed for 193 yards and had two touchdowns, and his counterpart, Master Teague, rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown as well. Dobbins finished with 8.6 yards per carry and Teague finished with 10.6. It was a brutal game from the opening kick.
The good news is J.K. Dobbins is now a Baltimore Raven. The bad news is Master Teague is back alongside star quarterback Justin Fields and stud receiver Chris Olave. Fields hardly had to do anything against Indiana last season due to the clinic in the backfield, but he is capable of dismantling any team.
If Indiana fans are waiting for a victory against Ohio State, they will likely have to keep waiting. Anything is possible, but Ohio State is still too talented on offense for Indiana to compete. Hopefully the Hoosiers can put up a better fight this season than they did last season, but it is going to be hard to pull out a victory.
