Ohio State Buckeyes At Indiana Hoosiers: TV, Radio, Tickets, Parking, and Traffic

The No.2 Ohio State Buckeyes kick off the 2017 season with a matchup against the Indiana Hoosiers. While some, including the oddsmakers, think this will be an easy win for the Buckeyes, do not discount Indiana’s ability to possibly get the upset.

The last time the Buckeyes took the field, they were getting absolutely demolished by the team who would eventually go on to win the National Championship, the Clemson Tigers. OSU lost that game, 31-0, so to say it was a huge blow to Ohio State’s confidence would be an understatement. If, for some reason, the Buckeyes stumble against Indiana, it makes their matchup against Oklahoma the next week, that much more difficult. Urban Meyer and returning quarterback JT Barrett enter the season looking to take the Big Ten by storm and get back into the playoffs to redeem themselves.

The Hoosiers have not beaten Ohio State since 1988, a losing streak that any Indiana fan knows by memory at this point. They are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 6-7 2016 season with an early win against the Buckeyes. While the odds are certainly stacked against them, Ohio State suffered an early upset against then unranked Penn State and survived a scare against Michigan State, so the Buckeyes are certainly prone to overconfidence being their downfall.
