WATCH: Indiana trick play works to perfection, results in first Hoosiers TD
Published:
Ohio State has a sizeable three-touchdown advantage at halftime, but Indiana isn’t going down without a fight.
Near the end of the first half between the Buckeyes and the Hoosiers in Bloomington, offensive coordinator Kalen DeBoer pulled a trick out of his hat, hoping to get IU in the end zone. It worked to perfection.
Peyton Ramsey fired a screen pass to Donovan Hale, who turned around and launched the ball downfield to a wide open Peyton Hendershot, who raced 49 yards to the end zone to get Indiana across the goal line.
It was the only touchdown the Hoosiers scored in the first half.

Ohio State still owned a 30-10 lead at the half, but this play gave Indiana at least some confidence going into the locker room. The Hoosiers will need a lot more of this to make a comeback.
