Indiana/Ohio State Prediction Thread

[Bowlmania]

One suggestion, guys. There is a wide range of possible outcomes at the 'shoe this weekend and Saturday's game, for me, is the toughest pick since the UCLA game. I know there's a temptation, particularly this week, to go with "my heart says [Score A] but my head says [Score B]." Your call as to whether to go with your head or your heart, but try to go with just one score prediction. Let's have some fun with this and see who among us is Nostradamus.

Here's my prediction:

IU 27
OSU 23

Go Hoosiers!

 

[Kelly_32]

F*ck Ohio

Hoosiers 37
Ohio 24

 

[red hornet]

Indiana creates a couple of T/O's, offense plays flawlessly- Indiana-35 OSU-7

 

[iubhounds]

IU - 38
OSU - 14

 

[jiouhyu]

28-24 OSU
Hoosiers lose but get some respect

 

[Victorbmyboy]

31-21 IU. We will get after the QB often. Our offense is good for 24 with one pick 6 late.

 

[SRIV94]

I think we get our comeuppance. MICH should’ve beaten us (they didn’t because Moore isn’t Harbaugh), and OSU is way better. It’s in Columbus and we haven’t beaten them since 1988. It’s like asking the basketball team to win in Madison—it just doesn’t happen. B1G wants an OSU/ORE rematch in Indy. They get it.

OSU 35, IND 17. Hello Citrus Bowl—the committee will drop us like a rock.

Ouch.

But yes; certainly possible.

 

[EvansvilleHoosier88]

38-31 IU onward and upward!

 

[Hoosier Clarion]

IU 28
Bucks 20
Can't wait. A W @ Columbus is a strong warning to CFB to pay particular attention to the playoffs.

 

[mobilehoosier]

37-24 Hoosiers!
Shocking win!

 

[Tammany Hall]

I’ll go with the heart, not like my head has got anything right this year.

We get down early — big atmosphere and we haven’t played a decent passing team since… Maryland? Then we settle down and whittle our way back. We just have to have KR and the WR’s clicking, otherwise running is difficult and this won’t be good.

IU - 31
OSU - 30

A reasonably close loss would still keep us in the playoff hunt. We are under the microscope this weekend.

 

[SRIV94]

Ouch.

But yes; certainly possible.

Wish I didn’t feel that way. But as a Chicago sports fan, I’m used to the other shoe dropping. (2016 notwithstanding. )

 

[Orbit7958]

nope...not doing it.

I wanna win

 

[IU Fan 1989]

31-10 Hoosiers just like 1987!

 

[Bowlmania]

Agreed.

SEC crybabies (all the two-loss whiners) are definitely rooting for an OSU blowout. Can't let that happen!

And we will NOT catch any breaks with the officials. Watch for the OSU OL to be holding a lot and DB's interfering with our receivers...but no call.

 

[vesuvius13]

38 IU
17 OSU

I want to see IU take it to OSU like they did against Nebraska.

Yep. Michigan game every year we play them. They tug and pull jerseys all game long.

 

[Rooski]

IU 38
OSU 35

 

[Grateful Redbeard]

I am bullish. I truly believe that we will win, even though it would be a big upset. We have to score early, and we can't let them get ahead and pin back their ears on D as we pass every down to try and catch up. Their C getting hurt is a big development and could be a huge story if our D controls the line of scrimmage. Rourke plays out of his mind and throws 4 TD's. We get a big special teams play. Our D has a critical 4th down stop and also forces a pick with their constant pressure on the QB.

Hoosiers 34
Buckeyes 31
