Hoosiers offensive lineman Drew Evans, offensive lineman Vince Fiacable, defensive back Josh Philostin, defensive lineman Andrew Depaepe, and offensive lineman Nick Kidwell have all been ruled out for Saturday’s game with undisclosed injuries. 

Indiana quarterback Kurtis Rourke came up big in his team’s 20-15 win over Michigan on November 9th. In that contest, the Ohio transfer threw for 206 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception. Rourke is second in the country with a total QBR of 88.1 this season.

Ohio State Buckeyes Game Notes

Buckeyes offensive lineman Seth McLaughlin (Achilles), offensive lineman Josh Simmons (knee), and reserve running back TC Caffey (knee) will all sit out Saturday’s game against the Hoosiers. Simmons had been the team’s starting left tackle prior to getting injured.

Ohio State cornerback Aaron Scott (undisclosed), linebacker Mitchell Melton (undisclosed), cornerback Calvin Simpson-Hunt (undisclosed), offensive lineman Zen Michalski (lower body), tight end Will Kacmarek (upper body), and wide receiver Reis Stockdale (undisclosed) are all officially listed as questionable for this weekend’s game. Michalski had been filling in for Simmons at left tackle. Redshirt junior Donovan Jackson will likely start there if Michalski can’t go on Saturday.

Indiana vs. Ohio State Betting Prediction

Indiana has been one of the best stories in college football this season. The Hoosiers brought in former James Madison head coach Curt Cignetti to be the team’s head coach. He’s done nothing but win games since he took over. Indiana is 10-0 straight up this season, and perhaps more importantly, they are 8-2 against the spread on the campaign. The Hoosiers are third in the country with an average scoring margin of +25.2 points per game in 2024. Some might ding Indiana for their schedule (they won’t play Oregon, Penn State, or Illinois this season), but they’ve been blowing lesser teams out. The Hoosiers have double-digit conference wins over UCLA, Maryland, Northwestern, Nebraska, Washington, and Michigan State this year. Indiana even beat Michigan two weeks ago at home by a score of 20-15, passing their first true test of the year.

The line for this game has been bouncing all over the place. It opened at Ohio State -9.5, went as high as -13.5, and has since settled at -10.5. I’d keep an eye on the line all the way up to game time to see what it ultimately ends up being. I don’t know if Indiana will actually win this game, but I think they’re good enough to keep it competitive throughout. I’m taking the Hoosiers and the points on the road in Columbus on Saturday afternoon.
