Ohio State’s offense is explosive and dynamic due to the number of an impact players at the skilled positions. Teague’s absence will be significant as they will be facing an Indiana defense that allows an average of 122.3 rushing yards allowed per game (eighth in the B1G).
TreVeyon Henderson has been the bright spot for the Buckeye backfield this fall as a true freshman. They’ll likely lean on him once again for solid ground production.
Teague has rushed for 245 yards and three touchdowns on 43 carries this season. Ohio State will turn to redshirt freshman Miyan Williams to fill in as the second back against Indiana.
