Ohio State is really rolling.
After Indiana tied the game 7-7 in the 1st quarter, Ohio State rattled off back-to-back touchdown drives. Then, when the Hoosiers attempted to punt in the end zone, a bad snap resulted in a Buckeyes safety to extend their lead to 23-7.
That's @MarvHarrisonJr making the tackle for the safety.

Then, on the ensuing drive, Ohio State scored again. After returning the punt to the 39-yard line, the Buckeyes ran 4 plays to score once again on a touchdown pass from CJ Stroud to Chris Olave make it a 30-7 game.

It doesn’t help that Indiana quarterback Jack Tuttle went down with an injury on the lone touchdown pass. Freshman Donaven McCulley came in, but sophomore Grant Gremel came in later on. Now, Tuttle’s back in. So it’s been a rollercoaster of a night for the Hoosiers, who are still searching for their first B1G win of the season.
You can watch the rest of the game on ABC.
