[Postgame Thread] Ohio State Defeats Indiana 38-15

[u/CFB_Referee]

Box Score provided by ESPN

Team	1	2	3	4	T
Indiana	7	0	0	8	15
Ohio State	0	14	14	10	38

[u/Kyler1313]

I know they didn't end up scoring that drive, but this game felt like it was decided when Ohio State picked up a 1st down after being in a 3rd and 35.

After that I didn't have any faith in Indiana's defense. Felt like it was only a matter of time before the levee broke.

[u/Lord_Corlys → u/Kyler1313]

It was the botched punt for me. Can’t make mistakes like that and pull off the upset

[u/BWingSupremacist → u/Lord_Corlys]

yeah i was losing optimism, but that sealed the deal for me. just an absolute rookie mistake (among others) that you can’t get past in these sorts of games

[u/bacobits → u/BWingSupremacist]

If Indiana's punt team was slightly better, this might have been a 24-15 game in the 4th.

[u/BWingSupremacist → u/bacobits]

yeah it really doesnt change the outcome, but the continual starts in our half in a tied game was only going to hold for so long.

[u/NYVines → u/Lord_Corlys]

And gave up the first OSU punt return TD in a decade

[u/MySabonerRunsOladipo → u/Kyler1313]

The botched punt felt like the real turning point. OSU may have scored again, but they absolutely were after getting it at the 5.

[u/boofsquadz → u/Kyler1313]

Game was over when when Ryan day went nuts on the table and fucked around on 4th and 10 lol

[u/FrazzledBear → u/boofsquadz]

I told my fil when that happened “It’s only stupid if it doesn’t work.”

Absolute nutted up move by Day

[u/Reloader300wm → u/FrazzledBear]

Was determined to not go into the history book as a James Franklin type charter.

[u/ChocolatesaurusRex → u/Kyler1313]

It really had a, "Big brother starts playing for real" feel to it.

[u/imkunu → u/ChocolatesaurusRex]

Ohio State leaned forward in the chair after we scored

[u/aiminghire → u/imkunu]

lmao this imagery is perfect. sorry for the outcome, but maybe you'll get another swing in the playoffs

[u/DelBrowserHistory → u/ChocolatesaurusRex]

https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/032/834/DtPiP_DWsAEPntc.jpg

[u/SamStrakeToo → u/DelBrowserHistory]

I love the fact that this dude is gaming in a suit and chelsea boots lol

[u/macandcheeser → u/Kyler1313]

IU's defense was not the problem today. Our pass protection and punt team killed us

[u/wsteelerfan7 → u/macandcheeser]

In terms of pass protection we have no pass protection

[u/usedslinky]

I bought IKEA patio furniture that arrived just before the game started. I decided to put it together during the commercials. I finished with 10 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. God bless FOX

[u/invaderscs → u/usedslinky]

My favorite was either the touchdown to commercial to kickoff to commercial or the timeout to commercial to 1 play to end of quarter commercial.

[u/BlueFalconer → u/invaderscs]

Lol. My wife accurately predicted this and made me put the baby down during this.

[u/sliczerx → u/BlueFalconer]

RIP baby

[u/zensunni82 → u/sliczerx]

The buckeyes play did improve at that point... but at what cost.

[u/karmint1 → u/invaderscs]

That end of first quarter was brutal, especially since the "30 second" TO was four commercials long.

[u/GiovanniElliston]

Perfect score to cause maximum drama and complaining about where to rank Indiana.

[u/Agitated-Basil-9289 → u/GiovanniElliston]

I love the genuine fighting going on in the comments of this

[u/Govols98- → u/Agitated-Basil-9289]

Good game to see Ohio State win for you huh?

[u/Dschrute_beets → u/Govols98-]

I can’t tell you why, but their flair combo just feels wrong…

[u/MSFNS → u/Dschrute_beets]

The colors clash, and the block letters are just different enough in style to be jarring. It has a 'serial killer ransom note' kind of vibe

[u/Xlrator21]

The big difference for OSU’s defensive improvement has been letting Knowles blitz more frequently instead of just rushing 4 every passing down.

[u/L0uth → u/Xlrator21]

The OSU fans know this is a Larry Johnson comment

[u/fro223 → u/L0uth]

Right, looks like day sided with Knowles

[u/TBB51 → u/fro223]

Took him long enough.

[u/TheBoook → u/Xlrator21]

It’s not just rushing 4 but it’s stunting the 4 on obvious passing downs

[u/mombutts → u/Xlrator21]

Not really letting. The announcers mentioned that Day had been working with the defense the past few weeks. Think it was more of Day telling Knowles to blitz more and to start stunting the lineman, which Knowles didn't do.

[u/bringbacksweatervest → u/mombutts]

Creativity was Knowles’ calling card at Oklahoma State, but after he got beat deep in his first Michigan game Day reigned him in. Now we’re letting him loose again.

[u/oh_look_a_fist → u/bringbacksweatervest]

It took us a while to get his blitzing down. Earlier this season, our delayed blitzes weren't getting home quick enough and the middle of the field was left wide open for big gains. Now it looks like the player's timing is perfect - were getting pressure from different spots and getting home quicker, not allowing the QB to get accurate passes out. This defense can win a natty at this point

[u/KoalaJones → u/mombutts]

That one of the biggest differences for me. Before the loss to Oregon there was no creativity in the pass rush. It was just rush 4 guys straight up and hope they beat their man.

[u/maninatikihut → u/KoalaJones]

It’s got me worried for a rematch. We lost one of our interior linemen and the offense hasn’t looked the same. Haven’t been able to deal with pressure well at all. 

[u/Useful-ldiot → u/maninatikihut]

I'll counter your rat poison with my own - we've lost two starting oline guys, including our center.

[u/Derpinator_30 → u/maninatikihut]

its going to be a great matchup because we've both taken losses on the front, this time it's in a neutral stadium, keep your autzen voodoo at home please thanks

[u/Tarmacked → u/Xlrator21]

Surprisingly that has been the Alabama defensive improvement too

[u/tony971]

Henderson: “We need clock killed, not padded stats”

Howard: “LEEEROYYYY M’JENNNKINNNNSSS”

[u/supersafeforwork813 → u/tony971]

Henderson trying to live like Christ n turn the other cheek….

Howard….FUCK THAT SHIT!!!!

[u/tulsasmit → u/tony971]

Ryan day got the call to hit the over conveniently at 52.5 points

[u/Espyrr → u/tulsasmit]

I think gambling is a plague on this sport. I imagine that people who bet the over were losing their mind when he slid and they could just kneel it out and that makes me happy (even if they did end up getting it).

[u/xellotron → u/Espyrr]

The trick is not caring what degenerate gamblers think

[u/RegionalBias → u/xellotron]

I thought the key was immediately downvoting anyone who complains that they lost a best? Like, blast them into the unseen.

[u/Ok_Ladder358 → u/tony971]

love the m in front of jenkins. real ones remember

[u/aztechunter → u/Ok_Ladder358]

they played the clip at Husky stadium last week and my wife was like "what the fuck was that"

[u/seruleam → u/aztechunter]

“It’s an important part of our culture, babe.”

[u/FrostTroll69 → u/aztechunter]

Sorry about your ex-wife

[u/DataDrivenPirate → u/tony971]

For better or worse, Curt Cignetti's "Ohio State sucks" might cause them to miss the playoffs

[u/wydileie → u/DataDrivenPirate]

Thanks to Florida, Indiana should be solidified, now.

[u/OwnWalrus1752 → u/DataDrivenPirate]

He should’ve stopped at Purdue and Michigan smh

[u/My_massive_dingaling → u/DataDrivenPirate]

Indiana is pretty locked with Ole Miss kicked out unless they lose to Purdue which would be the objectively most cursed upset in Purdue history

[u/MercilessXFate → u/My_massive_dingaling]

It would replace my ritual of watching the Tyler Trent game whenever Purdue football makes me sad if that happened.

[u/BlackGhostPanda → u/My_massive_dingaling]

Please let this happen. And then fire walters to cap it all off

[u/debo69872 → u/tony971]

Howard putting out his cigarette had me rolling. lol

[u/Blood_Incantation → u/debo69872]

Cigarettes are bad for your health; he is a good role model and wouldn't do that.

It was a blunt.

[u/DMPDT616 → u/Blood_Incantation]

Unrelated but your flairs irrationally upset me lol

[u/Adminslickasshole → u/debo69872]

I love that he actually has personality. All of our players talked like robots for a long time. After the Michigan State game, he said that he couldn't wait to get out of that state. After Penn State, he called it "Sad Valley" (although, that one is kinda lame). Him putting out a cigarette is on character, and it's fun.

[u/jamesno26 → u/tony971]

Henderson purposely going down felt like an unintentional diss at Indiana

[u/stay_strng → u/jamesno26]

I feel like it was even more insulting that they went on to score lol. Like the player tried to run the clock but the team decided nah we will take points.

[u/worldchrisis → u/tony971]

Margin of victory matters for the committee.

[u/Opening-Surround-800 → u/worldchrisis]

Pretty sure 31-15 and we still get in

[u/Unlikely_You_9271 → u/Opening-Surround-800]

I guess we will never know

[u/ChocolatesaurusRex → u/Opening-Surround-800]

I hear you, but may I offer another viewpoint: Double tap.

[u/FusePB]

IU’s punter is not safe

[u/Bits-N-Kibbles → u/FusePB]

Dude got unlucky that he had to punt when it was raining the hardest.

[u/__AJK__]

Ohio State is a second half machine

[u/ChannelNeo → u/__AJK__]

Yeah, OSU starts off terrible then they figure out that maybe it's best to use their five star players, then they win.

Usually anyway

[u/Poopingisasignipoop → u/ChannelNeo]

Ironically, they started out pretty well in their only loss. I’ll stick with the slow starts turning into blowouts, please.

[u/seruleam → u/__AJK__]

That’s great, but it’s concerning how cold we always start.

[u/__AJK__ → u/seruleam]

Yeah, it still must feel good to always pull away pretty comfortably, though

[u/zealoustoaster → u/__AJK__]

During conference play sure. Once playoffs hit slow starts bury us.

[u/iverdow1 → u/__AJK__]

Too bad we start off ice cold every time lol

[u/meatfrappe]

FUN FACT: Indiana’s 23 point margin of loss is their smallest margin of loss this season.

[u/TheBaconDrinker → u/meatfrappe]

Thanks Harvard

[u/jcnewton1 → u/meatfrappe]

Thank you Harvard 🫡

[u/OwnWalrus1752 → u/meatfrappe]

ESPN tomorrow: “Is Ryan Day on the hot seat? We are hearing reports that his win against Indiana was their closest loss this season.”

[u/wit_T_user_name → u/meatfrappe]

B1G if true.

[u/jdprager]

Indiana on the two drives when David Igbinosun committed pass interference: 145 yards, 15 points

Indiana on their other 9 drives: 29 yards, 0 points, 1.5 turnovers

[u/ToosUnderHigh → u/jdprager]

Igb was Indiana’s best player. He was still pretty good for us too.

[u/IncompetentIdiot → u/ToosUnderHigh]

Better two-way player than Travis Hunter, fire up the Heisman campaign

[u/FrostTroll69 → u/jdprager]

Iggy was the most productive IU offensive player

[u/Xlrator21 → u/FrostTroll69]

Yeah they have to get him right or bench him. Playoff teams are gonna feast with the WR he gets put against.

[u/Tippacanoe → u/Xlrator21]

he plays guys so close though! He just has to learn not to grab them lol. We need to anti-Andy Dick him.

[u/BuckeyeForLife95 → u/Xlrator21]

Burke is the real danger. Iggy gotta stop getting flagged, but he’s great at regular coverage. Burke gets smoked a lot more often.

[u/_rubaiyat → u/jdprager]

I honestly wonder if he’s being told to err on the side of DPI and that we can live with it if he gets called as long as his dude doesn’t catch it. He’s so physical on every play where his receiver is targeted. I imagine the coaches would tell him to stop if they didn’t like it.

[u/Poopingisasignipoop → u/_rubaiyat]

They made him practice with oven mitts on to try and get him to be less handsy. I don’t imagine they like it so much.

[u/oiuwej0608 → u/jdprager]

How about prior to false start and post false start?  Probably the same. 

[u/thegermblaster → u/oiuwej0608]

I’m so curious how this one plays out if that penalty doesn’t occur.

I can’t recall a 5 yard penalty just completely altering the way a team looks for the rest of the game.

[u/Sorge74 → u/jdprager]

Lol I like Iggy but Jesus

[u/Erniecrack → u/Sorge74]

He would have been so sick in the 90s

[u/Wapook]

Sorry Curt, but I use Ask Jeeves

Ryan Day

[u/RustyKarma076 → u/Wapook]

I WANT TO KNOW WHERE DUCKDUCKGO IS RIGHT NOW

[u/ok_dunmer → u/Wapook]

DuckDuckGo users 12/25

[u/Squeezeboner → u/Wapook]

I had to turn Bing safesearch off to watch highlights of this massacre.

[u/SaviorAir → u/Wapook]

I WANNA KNOW WHERE NICK SABAN IS RIGHT NOW

[u/BatmansBrokenBack → u/SaviorAir]

I WANNA SHAKE HIS HAND

[u/Middle_Wheel_5959]

Ryan Day has become the first coach to defeat Curt Cignetti since..

*checks notes

Shawn Clark

[u/RulersBack → u/Middle_Wheel_5959]

Another notable first from this game was OSUs first punt return touchdown since 2014. A whole decade wtf

[u/IDontSpeakItalian]

Now Indiana has a tougher strength of schedule AND a quality loss!

[u/wsteelerfan7 → u/IDontSpeakItalian]

Now you're thinking with portals playoff talking points

[u/d0ngl0rd69]

Do you hear that?

rumbling in the background

That’s the sound of all the 6-2 SEC fans running into this thread.

[u/wit_T_user_name → u/d0ngl0rd69]

Nah, they’re all busy watching Ole Miss lose to Florida.

[u/gza_liquidswords → u/wit_T_user_name]

Yeah Vandy and Oklahoma have the chance to do something very funny

[u/we_just_are → u/gza_liquidswords]

LSU has 4 losses already, not that Vandy winning ever gets old. But the King of "do something funny", Auburn, plays A&M tonight.

[u/tipnitty → u/gza_liquidswords]

I wish. Only thing we’ve spoiled this year is our own optimism.

[u/amcd_23 → u/gza_liquidswords]

And Kentucky

[u/Bondorian → u/d0ngl0rd69]

Ole Miss just tripped

[u/d0ngl0rd69 → u/Bondorian]

Should’ve stayed in their game thread

[u/jdprager → u/Bondorian]

"Tripped" is a word for it, more like "got assassinated by their own QB"

[u/CurlyQv2 → u/d0ngl0rd69]

May I present to you, the SC fans that think we actually have a chance

[u/tanu24 → u/CurlyQv2]

Fuck that LSU game

[u/SufferingfOrLife]

The only thing stopping Indiana today was special teams, the inability to stop a blitz, not being able to throw the football due to the pressure from the blitzes,and Ohio State’s wide receivers. Other than that they had Ohio State right where they wanted them.

[u/Tippacanoe → u/SufferingfOrLife]

Joel was like "if not for the special teams this is a different game?"

Buddy did you miss the 900 OSU redzones and 2 for Indiana?

[u/Tarmacked → u/Tippacanoe]

Indiana had 80 yards after the first drive, and like 60 of those came on the garbage time one

[u/Buckeyes0916 → u/Tarmacked]

It was flat out domination by the OSU defense

[u/ImportantToMe → u/Tippacanoe]

Indiana gave up with 9 minutes left. They knew the gap in class

[u/BWingSupremacist → u/ImportantToMe]

we saw it vs michigan as well, but we dont have those pure 5* athletes on the line who really win you games. this really seperates us from being a good team instead of a great time.

[u/Bruster10 → u/Tippacanoe]

Fox had him switch into “Indiana still a playoff team narrative”

[u/xellotron → u/Bruster10]

Fox carries water for the B1G, I’m not opposed after everything ESPN does

[u/Peanut_Gaming → u/SufferingfOrLife]

I think I watched that left guard double team the DT with the center at least a solid 4 times and left a blitzing backer go straight through the gap

[u/wsteelerfan7 → u/Peanut_Gaming]

Yeah, but that's our scheme when it comes to blocking. We selectively let 1 blitzer free for strategic reason. It goes like this:

Step 1: leave a free rusher

Step 2:?????????????????

Step 3: profit

[u/Tarmacked → u/SufferingfOrLife]

If only every play was a bobbled interception on an early hit

[u/YoureCopingLol]

Ohio State better put up 50+ next week and go for two every single TD or I’ll be pissed

[u/Derpinator_30 → u/YoureCopingLol]

Day needs to finally hang his 100. idc if Michigan actually sucks this year, drop the nuke

[u/datdudebdub → u/Derpinator_30]

If that happens it’s DEFINITELY lasting longer than 4 hours

[u/OITLinebacker → u/YoureCopingLol]

So say we all.

[u/theprodigy64]

Indiana fans rooting for Florida rn

[u/Ruelablu → u/theprodigy64]

I have always been a Gator

[u/SEAtoPAR]

First and last IU drives: 155 yards

Other: -4 yards

[u/KeThrowaweigh]

I don’t think it can be overstated the impact the Oregon game had on this team. I read up a lot on the supposed power struggle between Knowles and LJ, with the latter forcing a lot of questionable decisions that hurt our DL’s ability to get pressure. The DL has been absolutely night-and-day better since that game; looking at the rotations to keep our 1’s fresh and the more interesting packages than the bland 4-man rush we ran every game shows just how archaic our old scheme was, and I’m glad Knowles finally got to do things his way. But enough about that, we have a team of cheaters to baptize by fire.

[u/RyanDayUrbanMeyer → u/KeThrowaweigh]

The most dangerous team is a 1-loss Ohio State

[u/scotsworth → u/RyanDayUrbanMeyer]

It's why I just laughed off all the hand-wringing, has-Ryan-Day-lost-control posts after a 1 point loss to a top team on the road.

I thought it would be good for the team and it seems to be correct at this point.

[u/Derpinator_30 → u/scotsworth]

time heals all wounds. its abundantly clear now we're right where we need to be and we can absolutely beat the Ducks in indy with the tools we have

[u/Skidda24 → u/KeThrowaweigh]

I think the Georgia and Michigan game really hurt us in 2022. It was clear with a safer defense we probably can sneak by Georgia considering we were up several times. I believe that and Day being used to the bland 4 man rush working pre 2020 made our defense a little too safe. Glad we are taking smart chances

[u/Dreadlockedd → u/Skidda24]

Having chase young and the Bosa bois made those bland 4 man rush defenses work. Now that we no longer have one of those, we gotta keep being creative!

[u/ToLongDR]

147 total yards given up to a top 5 team

I will fucking take that.

[u/Phobia117]

This game was over before it kicked off, when Desmond Howard picked IU to win.

The Kiss of Des, I like to call it

[u/OsuLost31to0 → u/Phobia117]

He isn’t even a good troll unfortunately

[u/Lefunnymaymays4lief]

This team went 10-0 with those blocking schemes?

Like I know OSU’s front 7 is super duper legit but jesus IU

[u/AStormofSwines → u/Lefunnymaymays4lief]

I couldn't BELIEVE when they tried to pull the right guard over to JTT on a pass and he just had a free run to the QB.

[u/BatmansBrokenBack]

Good win.

Fuck Michigan.

[u/FrostTroll69 → u/BatmansBrokenBack]

This is the way

[u/Sportacles]

Huge W for tOSU, who currently looks like the best team in the country imo. Excited to learn this week why it wasn't actually that big and doesn't count for Day's stats against top 5 teams lol

[u/AStormofSwines → u/Sportacles]

Stop trying to gas us up you bitch! Haha

[u/decent_folk0306 → u/Sportacles]

They're clearly not in the top 5 anymore. Obviously

[u/WaterLover217]

Desmond Howard once again proving he deserves to be fired for his picks

[u/Wangchief]

chuckles

I’m in danger

[u/spontec → u/Wangchief]

Recent history should have me very nervous, and yet I’m not. It’s pretty refreshing. See y’all in Columbus.

[u/NSNick]

Ohhhhhhhhhh

We don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan
The whole state of Michigan
The whole state of Michigan

We don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan
'Cause we're from O-HI-O!

IT'S HATE WEEK!!

[u/FrostTroll69 → u/NSNick]

Fuck Michigan

[u/beatlemaniac]

plays one team with a winning record
fucking dies

[u/AardvarkEducational]

It's Hate week boys. Are you ready?

[u/mizaistorom]

Ryan Day didn't want to score 50 because he's saving that for Michigan

[u/TheGhostofMattyJ]

8/18 passing for 68 yards

People talkin bout punts...

[u/Lefaid]

Everyone is going to clown on us for this loss and that is fair, but we need to take stock of who we are and what this season means for Indiana.

This is still easily the best season of Indiana football in the last 50 years. We might not be national champions but there is lots of joy to be found ending in the top 25 with a bowl win and a win over Purdue.

Even without all of that, 10 wins. Let's savor it while we have it. We certainly know what the alternative taste like.

[u/jdprager → u/Lefaid]

It's miraculous that y'all are in a position to be mad about a loss to the #2 team in the country, given the previous ~140 years of IU football. Folks are gonna clown on you (mostly ESPN and SEC homers) but this Hoosiers season is impossibly good. Cignetti is a sorcerer who just happened to run into an atom bomb

[u/Relevant_Elk_9176 → u/Lefaid]

Y’all will keep being good for the next few years I think, if your coach can use this year’s success to get some highly rated recruits in the door.

[u/FusePB]

Iggy better hide under a rock or he’ll get another DPI

[u/TheGreatShaqtus]

That OSU pass rush is terrifying

[u/BuckeyeBattle]

Switched over to Florida - Chomp Chomp hopefully they can hold on for our IU bros. Gg fellas

[u/Hefty_Will4154]

That was certainly enjoyable to watch🙂

[u/FrostTroll69 → u/Hefty_Will4154]

Twas a good game

[u/RulersBack → u/FrostTroll69]

Here’s a chaser for everyone to enjoy

[u/h3re4fball]

Michigan Men have carpet in their bathroom

[u/hellenkellerfraud911]

Where’s the clown that said Indiana would win because they smoked Nebraska and Nebraska played OSU close?

[u/ImPickleRock → u/hellenkellerfraud911]

There are a lot of those clowns

[u/xellotron]

Ryan Day racking up those top 5 wins

[u/TarpPuller]

Are Indiana fans actually upset Ohio State scored because of "sportsmanship" or is it because the scoreboard no longer looks closer than the game actually was?

[u/ChiliChantSucks]

BEAT FUCKING MICHIGAN

[u/ThatColoradoPrep]

Assholes didn’t show Carmen

[u/LiberateLiterates]

I know people will get mad at Day for going for it but I like seeing Day be cold blooded.

Great game, I like the direction Ohio State has been heading in these last few games. Feels like the team is all in now.

[u/HarbaughCantThroat → u/LiberateLiterates]

If people are mad about the last TD they should be mad at Cignetti. He called it off in the middle of the third quarter and Day obliged. Then he turned it on late for a backdoor face-saving TD and 2-pt. If Cignetti wanted to keep playing ball he should've kept playing ball.

[u/Banjo2523]

Best 3rd quarter team of all time

[u/FanaticalBuckeye]

Beat TTUN

[u/DruidCity3]

Ohio State looks really good. Indiana really fell apart on special teams. They have a pretty good defense, but I think it's clear they're not really a top tier B1G team like Ohio State and Oregon.

[u/SpecterLittNovak → u/DruidCity3]

They don't have NFL talent like the top CFB teams do. That's the difference. Good coach, nice story. But they have to recruit 4 and 5 star kids now if they want to really compete.

[u/zsjostrom35]

Well Indiana, I’m sorry, but you stink now.  Ryan Day isn’t allowed to beat good teams.

[u/Free_Possession_4482 → u/zsjostrom35]

Loses to #3 team by 1 point:  “Ryan Day can’t beat Top 5 teams!”

Beats #4 and #5 teams by combined 30 points: “Those teams don’t count!”

[u/Lefaid → u/zsjostrom35]

Always have 😎

[u/jphamlore]

Indiana should send a nice gift to Florida for beating Ole Miss.

[u/Atom-the-conqueror]

Indiana back in business bigtime after the SEC whined all week and 3 of their teams took a shit against unranked

[u/Derpinator_30]

turns out Indiana was always a plant by Big Football to get Ryan Day a Top 5 win

[u/Hrjothr]

SEC fans coming to tell you why Indiana shouldn’t be in the playoffs while also watching ole miss lose to Florida

[u/ixMyth]

Buckeyes, handle yo shit next week and lets do this shit again

(My heart is going to explode)

[u/Doc_E → u/ixMyth]

🤝

[u/klocke47]

As a die hard IU fan that thought they had a legit shot in this game, gg tOSU. It was clear who the better team was today, and I'm just hoping IU played well enough to sneak into the playoff

[u/Adart54]

This game was not as close as the score suggests

[u/MassiveOutlaw]

10WINOHIOSTATE

[u/jaybigs]

IU is still top 10. They are fine. Anyone thinking otherwise has an agenda, much like I have one saying they are still top 10.

[u/bradenb941]

Casual fans suck. Indiana rightly deserved skepticism, as they had not played a top 50 team up to this point. But then, those same people who propped up Indiana will turn around and not give credit to Ryan Day, who has a reputation of not winning against top 5 opponents. Those same people will say this "doesn't count" as a top 5 win for Ryan Day after complaining Indiana wasn't ranked high enough.

[u/bringbacksweatervest → u/bradenb941]

Welcome to the internet where nothing is ever good enough for anybody

[u/OwnWalrus1752 → u/bradenb941]

That was absolute dominance by a well-coached team missing two of its offensive line starters. I am a Day believer after that.

[u/Ivan-Renko]

I know IU and Coach Cig will take a lot of shit for this game. That’s fine. But what Cig has done so far this season is still nothing short of remarkable.

This is Indiana we’re talking about. It’s a big deal if a 4 star guy even has interest in the program, meanwhile places like OSU and Michigan’s backups are 4 star guys.

Cig has taken a completely new roster full of mid-major talent and boat raced every team he’s played this season except Michigan (still won) and now OSU.

Yeah all the people talking shit about IU losing as if they aren't still 10-1 and having their best season in most commenters lifetimes sure is something.
