Indiana Football's BIGGEST GAME EVER?! Ohio State Is Coming!

Indiana Football is preparing for the BIGGEST regular-season game in program history!

Curt Cignetti and the Indiana Hoosiers welcome Ryan Day and the Ohio State Buckeyes to Bloomington for a MASSIVE Top 5 showdown at Memorial Stadium. With College Football Playoff implications, national championship aspirations and an incredible atmosphere expected, this is a game Indiana fans have been waiting for.

On today's Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins breaks down why Indiana vs. Ohio State is such a historic matchup, what a victory would mean for the Hoosiers, and why Indiana has a legitimate chance to beat the Buckeyes again.

Ohio State may have the edge on paper, but Indiana has already proven it can win tough games under Curt Cignetti. After surviving Nebraska, can Josh Hoover, Nick Marsh, Charlie Becker and the Hoosiers deliver another signature victory?

PLUS: How does Indiana stop Jeremiah Smith?

Cignetti had plenty to say about Ohio State's superstar wide receiver, and Indiana's secondary must improve after its struggles against Nebraska. Jacob discusses potential cornerback matchups involving A.J. Harris and Jamari Sharpe, the importance of Tobi Osunsanmi's pass rush, and the comments from Cignetti, Ryan Day and Indiana players ahead of Saturday.

AND: Indiana Basketball is back!

Jacob reacts to Darian DeVries and the Hoosiers defeating Butler 96-68 in an exhibition game, the performances of Darren Harris, Markus Burton, Samet Yigitoglu and Aiden Sherrell, and the commitment of 2029 guard Micah Mohler.
