Finally! Indiana!
No, but actually, seriously. Indiana. It's pretty wild that the Hoosiers represent the most legitimate litmus test for the Buckeyes this side of Oregon, but: they do! The Fighting Cignettis are a tough, disciplined unit that's earned their lofty ranking, and if Ohio State wants a rematch against the Ducks, they're going to have to get past the Bloomington Bombers first.
I don't plan on spend too much time dwelling on this win over the Wildcats, except to note that Carnell Tate had a day in front of friends and family, in what had to be a pretty emotional homecoming. By that metric alone, attempting to play football in a billion year old baseball stadium was worth the price of admission.
For me, because it was zero dollars. Glad I was watching at home!

Nice job by Silver Bullets bowing up and forcing a turnover in the red zone

If Howard can consistently deliver those deep balls like he has today, this is a different football team.

Can't get over this one from today. Plays like this are messed up. That's not playing to the whistle. That's just being mad at someone else's talent. Needs to be punishment. pic.twitter.com/e0s2qxyPhg

And that'll do it for this week, as next time things will have gotten extremely real incredibly fast. See you then!
