The Hoosiers look to improve to 5-0 for the first time in 48 years on Saturday as the top-ranked Buckeyes try to extend the nation's longest road winning streak in the Big Ten opener for both teams.

The last time Indiana (4-0) and Ohio State (4-0) met with unbeaten records was Oct. 3, 1942, when each was 1-0. The Hoosiers and Buckeyes also opened the 1954 season against each other.

So should we legitimately be worried about an upset? Probably the best offense we will face thus far. Also could be the worst defense.

Indiana has played Southern Illinois (48-47), Florida International (36-22), Western Kentucky (38-35), and Wake Forest (31-24).

I'm more concerned about our offense, than I am about Indiana.

Seems like they are getting better offensively. The coaches said that Cardales' mechanics have been off and that is affecting his deep throw. All his intermediate stuff was looking sharp. Give Zeke the ball more against this turrible defense. You always worry about an upset but I love the way the defense is playing and they should tear this IU defense a new one!

GO BUCKEYES!

 

[Sgt Brutus]

We've lost to Purdue in past seasons so no team is ever out of the question of an upset. And last year Indiana played us tough. That being said, the talent gap is large enough that I think we roll. Besides, I'm hoping we got our bad games out of the way.

I wouldn't put it past urban to have been experimenting in those cupcake games and now that conference play has begun he unleashes the beast!

Go bucks !

Well this should give us a true idea if we have a very good defense like everyone thinks we have. Indiana is going to score some points for sure.

Indiana is the TCU of the B1G. Ton of offense and no defense.

Except TCU is good

TCU is horribly overrated. Better than Indiana, of course, but still overrated.

Without the injuries' I would think they would be much better.

Game day! Score predictions, anyone? Going with 51-31. Last 7 come in garbage time. Cardale gets the deep ball figured out today.

 

[Sgt Brutus]

That's a good scoreline fish, I think I'll go 40-27

 

[Xulu Bak]

I don't think the defense gives up 20. Not unless the offense repeatedly hangs them out to dry.

Anyone in here interested in fantasy hockey? I have a league drafting tonight and we need another player

Just PM your email if interested, thank you!

I hope you're wrong. I took Ohio st -21

Even before this game had started I would have told you they weren't going to cover. This team just isn't ready to wake up.

Well, where were you on Thursday?!

I took a shot. Ohio st usually follows some OOC struggles with a blowout win against a conference foe they should beat e.g. Indiana, Purdue, etc.

I was right that one team was going to play out of their minds today, I just picked the wrong team.

Wtf is going on? Been at the gun range the past 4 hours and come home to this shit??
