Ohio State pummels Indiana with dominant first half in Bloomington

Ohio State’s word of the day for Saturday is domination.
If you want the definition, just watch highlights of the Buckeyes’ 44-point performance in the first half of their game against Indiana.
After Indiana tied the game 7-7, Ohio State rattled off 37 straight points and ran circles around the Hoosiers. It’s the 4th time the Buckeyes scored 30 or more points in a half — the most in the FBS this season.
Quarterback CJ Stroud is having another great performance, throwing for 201 yards on 16-of-21 passing and 3 touchdowns. On the ground, TreVeyon Henderson leads the way with 81 yards on 9 carries and 2 touchdowns. Miyan Williams has the other touchdown while totaling 40 yards.
Yes. That’s 6 touchdowns.
Quick look at how No. 5 @OhioStateFB's six first-half drives have ended:

Remember: These are halftime stats.
Indiana has had a bit of a quarterback carousel so far. Jack Tuttle started, but left with an injury. From there, Donaven McCulley came in, then Grant Gremel replaced him. Tuttle then re-entered the game.
We’ll see how things go in the second half, which is coming up on ABC.
