Ohio State Buckeyes Game Notes
Devin Brown will not begin Saturday’s opener versus Indiana under center but will see some snaps, Bill Rabinowitz of The Columbus Dispatch reports. Brown and Kyle McCord have been dueling in camp for the starting role, and while McCord will get the first starting nod of the season, it appears Brown will still have a chance to state his case in the opener. How the two perform against Indiana could go a long way in determining the pecking order going forward.
Indiana Hoosiers Game Notes
Cam Camper, although not quite 100 percent, is expected to play when Indiana opens their season against Ohio State, Kevin Vera of Rivals.com reports. Camper has dealt with a knee injury this offseason, but appears to be ready to go for when the Buckeyes travel to Bloomington in Week 1. The wide receiver is coming off an ACL tear he suffered in a Week 8 loss to Rutgers last season. Prior to his injury, he was having a very productive season, recording 46 catches for 569 yards and two scores.

Ohio State vs. Indiana Betting Prediction
Give me the over. I think Tayven Jackson – a transfer from Tennessee – will be an exciting player this season for Indiana and we know Ohio State is going to put points on the board no matter who is under center. The Buckeye defense might need some time to adjust as well after bringing in a ton of new parts across the board. Points should not be at a premium today in Indiana.
