The Hoosiers jumped out to an early lead when quarterback Kurtis Rouke handed the ball off to Ty Son Lawton, who scored the game's first touchdown. However, this lead was short-lived, as the Buckeyes' defense quickly took control.

Ohio State’s 38-15 win over Indiana on Saturday gave the team another top five win, and put the Buckeyes one step away from a Big Ten Championship Game appearance against Oregon in Indianapolis. It was a game that had hype coming in, but the Buckeyes did their best to keep the Hoosiers and their No. 5 ranking on the back-burner.

The Buckeyes thoroughly outclassed previously unbeaten Indiana, 38-15, to earn a victory that moves them within striking distance of reaching the Big Ten Championship game for the first time since 2020.
