Indiana Football Week 7 injury report
Indiana had a fairly clean injury report in Week 6 against Nebraska. Hopefully that continues in Week 7 against Ohio State. The Hoosiers are still without RB Khobie Martin, who suffered a broken forearm in Week 1 and hasn't returned since. DB Carson Williams, TE Andrew Barker, and WR Lebron Bond also missed the Nebraska game.
Official Big Ten availability reports for Week 7 have yet to be released, but it seems that the Hoosiers have an early advantage over the Buckeyes when it comes to health. Ohio State was down five starters, including three on the offensive line, this past weekend against Maryland. RG Austin Siereveld, WR Brandon Inniss, WR Devin McCuin, LB Christian Alliegro, and backup S Leroy Roker III, were all unavailable for OSU before the game, while starting LG Luke Montgomery went down with a lower body injury in the contest. Furthermore, staring RT Phillip Daniels hasn't played since the Texas game on Sept. 12.
Indiana vs Ohio State score prediction
Ohio State has looked borderline unstoppable since its 4th-quarter collapse against Texas in Week 2. Indiana has taken care of business in every game, but has shown some chinks in the armor. What’s most concerning is how completely the running game disappeared against Nebraska. That isn't going to fly against the Buckeyes. This has the makings of an instant classic and should come down to the wire. With revenge on their minds, the Buckeyes win a close one, 31-28.
