Jelani Thurman had a drop that led to an interception in the first half of Ohio State's top-five clash with Indiana, but he didn't waste his next opportunity.

On 3rd-and-goal at the 1-yard line, the Buckeyes went play action with Thurman running a corner route toward the end line. Howard floated the ball to the open tight end, who secured the catch to make it a 28-7 Ohio State lead.

Thurman entered Saturday with three receptions for 41 yards on the year. A sophomore, he's still trying to show the talent that made him a four-star prospect and the No. 3 tight end in the 247Sports composite rankings for the recruiting class of 2023.

Saturday's touchdown catch is a small step forward. Stay tuned to Eleven Warriors for more coverage of Ohio State vs. Indiana.
