Ohio State’s victory over Indiana snapped the Hoosiers’ twenty‑two‑game winning streak in a close‑shave nineteen‑fifteen triumph at Memorial Stadium. The Buckeyes’ offense, led by Jeremiah Smith, capitalized on a late‑game turnover and a decisive touchdown pass from Josh Hoover. Julian Sayin, Ohio State’s starting quarterback, suffered a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter and will miss a couple of weeks, according to head coach Ryan Day. The game’s dramatic finish, with Nick Marsh’s out‑of‑bounds catch, left Indiana fans stunned and highlighted the volatility of Big Ten matchups. Ohio State now enjoys a bye week before heading to USC in late October, while Indiana must regroup after a historic loss.
