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.

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