Indiana Football's Playoff Chances Just Got VERY Interesting!

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 22 Oct 2026 11:58:11 GMT

Could Michigan UPSET Indiana Football this weekend? And could the Hoosiers end up being the ONLY Big Ten team in the College Football Playoff?!

The Big Ten playoff race is getting WILD, and Indiana Football has a major opportunity to take advantage of the chaos.

On today's Locked On Hoosiers crossover, Jacob Goins joins Zach Seyko of Locked On Nittany Lions to debate Indiana vs. Michigan, the College Football Playoff race, surprising Big Ten contenders and the weekend's biggest games.

Zach believes Michigan could pull off a shocking upset over Curt Cignetti's Indiana Hoosiers. He likes what Tommy Carr brings to Michigan's offense and believes the Wolverines could surprise Indiana in Ann Arbor.

Jacob strongly disagrees!

Can Indiana bounce back from its loss to Ohio State? Will Michigan's quarterback situation make a difference? And can the Hoosiers get their offense back on track?

PLUS: Could Indiana be the ONLY Big Ten team in the College Football Playoff?

With UCLA, Iowa and Northwestern emerging as unexpected contenders, and quarterback injuries creating uncertainty across the conference, the playoff picture could look very different by the end of the season.

We also make predictions for Oregon vs. Illinois, Iowa vs. Minnesota, USC vs. Wisconsin, Michigan State vs. UCLA and Rutgers vs. Northwestern.

THEN: BREAKING NEWS during our recording!

Maryland fires Mike Locksley, and we react to the decision, Maryland's struggles in Big Ten play and the coaching search ahead. Could Indiana coordinators Mike Shanahan and Bryant Haines be mentioned as possible replacements?

ON3 Just Said Indiana's Coordinators Are Linked to Maryland's Coaching Search!

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 18:49:44 GMT

BREAKING: Maryland has FIRED Mike Locksley, and BOTH Indiana Football coordinators are already being mentioned as possible replacements!

Could Curt Cignetti lose Mike Shanahan or Bryant Haines to another Big Ten program? Or would leaving Indiana for Maryland be a major mistake?

On this bonus episode of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins joins Zach Seyko of Locked On Nittany Lions to react to Maryland firing Mike Locksley and the start of the college football coaching carousel.

An On3 list includes Indiana offensive coordinator Mike Shanahan and defensive coordinator Bryant Haines among possible Maryland coaching candidates. Jacob explains why he believes neither coordinator will leave Bloomington, why Indiana is an attractive place to stay, and what kind of coach Maryland should actually target.

Is Maryland a desirable Big Ten head-coaching job? Would an established coordinator take the risk? Could a former Power Four head coach or rising Group of Six coach be the answer?

PLUS: Who gets FIRED NEXT in college football?

We break down the Big Ten coaching hot seats, including Luke Fickell at Wisconsin, Bret Bielema at Illinois, Greg Schiano at Rutgers, Jedd Fisch at Washington and Lincoln Riley at USC.

Then we go NATIONAL!

Could Mike Norvell be next at Florida State? What about Shane Beamer at South Carolina or Steve Sarkisian at Texas? We discuss the pressure facing major college football programs and how NIL, recruiting and roster management are changing the coaching profession.

These Indiana Football Players Have SAVED the Hoosiers' Season!

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 07:00:00 GMT

The Big Ten standings have been FLIPPED UPSIDE DOWN, and Indiana Football could have a HUGE opportunity!

UCLA is sitting atop the Big Ten standings, Ohio State is dealing with uncertainty, and Curt Cignetti's Indiana Hoosiers are still firmly in the conference championship conversation despite their loss to the Buckeyes.

On today's Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins breaks down the surprising Big Ten standings and explains why Indiana Football still has everything to play for.

Can the Hoosiers take advantage of the chaos? What does UCLA's unexpected rise mean for the Big Ten championship race? And can Indiana finish strong against Michigan, Minnesota, USC, Washington and Purdue?

PLUS: Which Indiana Football players have SAVED the season?

After spending plenty of time discussing Josh Hoover, the running game and other concerns, it's time to recognize the Hoosiers who have stepped up!

Charlie Becker and Nick Marsh have been outstanding at wide receiver, while Isaiah Jones, Rolijah Hardy, Tobi Osunsanmi, Stephen Daley and other defensive standouts have helped keep Indiana in contention.

THEN: Indiana Basketball gets LEFT OUT of the preseason AP Top 25!

Jacob explains why he believes Darian DeVries has assembled a top-25-caliber roster and predicts that Indiana Basketball will enter the rankings before December.

With Markus Burton, Bryce Lindsay, Samet Yigitoglu, Darren Harris, Jaeden Mustaf, Trent Sisley and more talent on the roster, are the Hoosiers being overlooked nationally?

If Indiana Football Fixes THIS Problem on Offense... WATCH OUT

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 18:30:00 GMT

Indiana Football has a BIGGER problem than Josh Hoover?! The Hoosiers' running game has DISAPPEARED, and something needs to change before Michigan!

After Indiana's 19-15 loss to Ohio State, much of the criticism has focused on Josh Hoover. But is Indiana's inability to run the football the bigger issue holding Curt Cignetti's offense back?

On this bonus episode of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins is joined by TJ Pittinger of Big Ten Football Addiction to break down what went wrong against Ohio State, why Indiana's rushing attack has struggled for two consecutive games, and what needs to change before the Hoosiers travel to Michigan.

Josh Hoover completed just 20 of 40 passes against the Buckeyes, but Jacob believes the quarterback is closer to reaching his potential than many fans realize. We discuss Hoover's footwork, missed touchdown opportunities, progression reads, and why an improved running game could take pressure off the entire passing attack.

PLUS: Indiana's defense played at a championship level against Ohio State. Can the Hoosiers get their offense to match it?

Jacob and TJ discuss how Indiana can create more opportunities for Turbo Richard and Lee Beebe Jr., why outside runs and screen passes could help, and whether the offensive line can improve against Michigan's defensive front.

THEN: The AP Top 25 vs. the JG Poll!

Jacob reveals his own college football rankings and explains why he has Ohio State ahead of BYU, Northwestern much higher than the AP voters, and Indiana still at No. 6.

Could Indiana host a College Football Playoff game? Can the Hoosiers still repeat as national champions? And which teams are actually legitimate contenders?

Indiana's championship hopes are still alive, but the offense must get better.

BREAKING: Michigan Has a Quarterback CONTROVERSY Before Indiana on Saturday | Who is Wolverines QB1?

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Michigan Football has a HUGE quarterback problem before facing Curt Cignetti and Indiana Football!

Bryce Underwood was BENCHED at halftime against Penn State after throwing two interceptions, and backup Tommy Carr helped the Wolverines secure the win. Now, Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham says the Wolverines have a quarterback plan for Indiana… but they're NOT revealing it!

On today's Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins breaks down Michigan's quarterback controversy and explains why the uncertainty could be both an advantage and a challenge for Indiana's defense.

Should Michigan start Bryce Underwood or Tommy Carr against the Hoosiers? Why does Jacob actually WANT Underwood to start? And how will Indiana defensive coordinator Bryant Haines prepare for two quarterbacks with different strengths?

We break down Underwood's struggles, Carr's limited playing time, Whittingham's comments and Curt Cignetti's approach to preparing for multiple quarterback possibilities before Indiana travels to the Big House.

PLUS: INDIANA BASKETBALL VS. PURDUE!

Nick Arvin of Locked On Boilermakers joins Jacob for a special rivalry crossover previewing the 2026-27 college basketball season!

Can Darian DeVries and Indiana Basketball finally challenge Matt Painter and Purdue for Big Ten supremacy?

Indiana has completely rebuilt its roster with Markus Burton, Aiden Sherrell, Samet Yigitoglu, Bryce Lindsay and several other talented newcomers. Purdue enters the season without the established superstar it has relied on in recent years, but the Boilermakers believe their young players can develop into another competitive team.

We debate Indiana's improved size and depth, Purdue's biggest roster questions, the NCAA Tournament outlook and what success in the Indiana-Purdue rivalry should look like this season.

NOTE: The basketball crossover was recorded before Indiana's exhibition game against North Carolina.

Indiana Fans Need to Hear THIS Message from Curt Cignetti Following Loss to Ohio State

Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 18:30:00 GMT

Curt Cignetti just delivered a STRONG message after Indiana Football's loss to Ohio State, and Hoosier fans need to hear it!

After Indiana's 22-game winning streak came to an end, Cignetti met with the media Monday to discuss the loss, Indiana's missed opportunities and the upcoming showdown with Michigan.

His biggest message? "We proved we were capable."

On this Monday bonus episode of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins breaks down Cignetti's comments and explains why Indiana Football can STILL compete for a national championship despite losing to Ohio State.

Cignetti acknowledged that Indiana fell short and beat itself in some ways. What needs to change? Josh Hoover must be more consistent, the offensive line needs to improve the rushing attack, and the Hoosiers must execute in critical moments.

PLUS: Cignetti provides an encouraging update on running back Khobie Martin, discusses the missed potential game-winning touchdown involving Nick Marsh and previews Michigan's quarterback situation with Bryce Underwood and Tommy Carr.

THEN, it's time for Indiana Basketball!

Darian DeVries and the Hoosiers defeated North Carolina 76-58 in Sunday's exhibition game, led by Bryce Lindsay's 26-point performance off the bench!

We break down Lindsay's breakout game, Markus Burton's struggles, Darren Harris's shooting, the rebounding impact of Aiden Sherrell and Samet Yigitoglu, and why Indiana's depth and ball handling could make this year's basketball team so exciting.

Indiana Football has a chance to respond. Indiana Basketball is giving fans plenty of reasons for optimism.

Scarlet Nation Podcast: Rutgers Basketball on the rise and football gets a victory

John Otterstedt — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 15:00:00 GMT

Bobby Deren and Kristian Dyer discuss the latest in Rutgers basketball and football.

Indiana Football Just Got SAVED by College Football CHAOS?!

Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Indiana Football LOST to Ohio State… but college football CHAOS may have just SAVED the Hoosiers' season!

Despite falling to Ohio State and seeing its 22-game winning streak come to an end, Curt Cignetti's Indiana Hoosiers dropped just ONE spot in the newest AP Top 25 rankings, landing at No. 6!

On this Locked On College crossover, Jacob Goins of Locked On Hoosiers is joined by Brian Smith of Locked On The Portal to break down one of the wildest weekends of the college football season and explain why Indiana's Big Ten Championship and College Football Playoff hopes remain alive.

Indiana's offense struggled badly against Ohio State, especially Josh Hoover and a rushing attack that has produced just 138 yards combined over the last two games. Brian explains why Indiana's predictable running game, heavy reliance on RPO concepts and inability to create explosive opportunities could become major problems against Michigan.

PLUS: Who deserves the blame for the missed potential game-winning touchdown to Nick Marsh? What offensive adjustments must Indiana make? Could Ohio State's quarterback situation change the Big Ten Championship race?

Then, the NEW AP Top 25 drops DURING the recording! Miami takes No. 1, BYU rises to No. 2, Ohio State sits at No. 3, Notre Dame is No. 4, Georgia is No. 5, and Indiana lands at No. 6.

Brian reacts to the rankings, explains why he doesn't believe BYU is a top-two team and discusses how the national chaos could benefit Indiana.

The Hoosiers lost a game, but they still have EVERYTHING to play for.

Should Indiana Really BENCH Josh Hoover After Poor Performance vs Ohio State?! | Indiana Hoosiers

Locked On Podcast Network — Sun, 18 Oct 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Indiana Football has a Josh Hoover PROBLEM… and it's time for a serious conversation.

After Indiana's 19-15 loss to Ohio State ended the Hoosiers' 22-game winning streak, questions are growing about Josh Hoover's consistency, his health and whether he can lead Curt Cignetti's team on another championship run.

Seven games into the season, Hoover is still missing throws, struggling with consistency and leaving scoring opportunities on the field. Is he playing well enough for Indiana Football to compete for a Big Ten Championship and College Football Playoff berth?

On this Sunday bonus episode of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins takes a deeper look at Indiana's quarterback situation after having time to process Saturday's loss.

Should Grant Wilson have played after Hoover appeared to injure his throwing shoulder against Ohio State? Is Tyler Cherry a realistic alternative? And what happens if Indiana's coaching staff believes Hoover remains its best option, even while the offense continues to struggle?

PLUS: Indiana's offense has bigger problems than just quarterback play. The Hoosiers need a more productive running game, better execution and adjustments from the coaching staff. With Charlie Becker and Nick Marsh at wide receiver, Indiana has too much talent to keep leaving points on the field.

The good news? Indiana's season is NOT over.

Jacob breaks down the path forward for Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers, including upcoming games against Michigan, Minnesota, USC, Washington and Purdue. Can Indiana respond to its first loss in nearly two years and keep its College Football Playoff hopes alive?

LIVE REACTION: Ohio State HANGS ON at Indiana! Julian Sayin HURT!

Locked On Podcast Network — Sat, 17 Oct 2026 20:59:33 GMT

Ohio State hangs on to WIN at Indiana as the Hoosiers largely held Jeremiah Smith in check and the Hoosiers potential game-winning touchdown catch by Nick Marsh was correctly ruled out of bounds! The Buckeyes control their destiny in the Big Ten for the rest of the college football season but the win may have been costly as quarterback Julian Sayin injured his shoulder and left the game in the 4th quarter.

In more Big Ten college football action Northwestern kicked a field goal with :02 left to beat Michigan State in the Pat Fitzgerald revenge game. And Rutgers got a much needed win at Maryland. Plus a banged up Washington football team lit up the scoreboard at Purdue on Friday night.

We will have more reaction Monday to Penn State's battle in the Big House vs a Michigan football team trying to find its way with quarterback Bryce Underwood.

Later on Saturday night we will see who is for real when Wisconsin plays at UCLA in the Rose Bowl and Nebraska faces Oregon in a late west-coaster! While Dante Moore remains out recovering from a concussion Dylan Raiola has been benched and will not start vs his former team Nebraska or his former coach Matt Rhule.

REACTION: Indiana Football's Win Streak is OVER, Hoosiers FALL to Ohio State Buckeyes

Locked On Podcast Network — Sat, 17 Oct 2026 20:43:40 GMT

Indiana Football's 22-game winning streak is OVER. The Hoosiers fall to Ohio State 19-15 in Bloomington, and Josh Hoover's struggles have Indiana fans asking some VERY difficult questions.

Curt Cignetti and Indiana Football suffer their first home loss of the Cignetti era, ending one of the most remarkable winning streaks in college football. But this wasn't a game Indiana had no chance to win. The Hoosiers had the football late with an opportunity to take the lead, and the offense couldn't finish.

On this LIVE Locked On Hoosiers postgame reaction, Jacob Goins breaks down EVERYTHING that went wrong in Indiana's heartbreaking loss to Ryan Day and the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Josh Hoover completed just 20 of 40 passes and missed a potential game-winning touchdown to Nick Marsh. Is Indiana's quarterback play becoming a serious concern? And should the coaching staff have considered Grant Wilson after Hoover appeared to injure his shoulder?

PLUS: Indiana's defense deserved better! The Hoosiers recorded four sacks, Amare Ferrell grabbed two interceptions, and Indiana limited Jeremiah Smith to four catches for 68 yards and one touchdown. Why couldn't the offense capitalize?

We also discuss Indiana's struggling running game, missed field goals, questionable decisions, the final fourth-down play and what this loss means for the College Football Playoff.

The winning streak is over, but Indiana's season is NOT.

Can the Hoosiers bounce back against Michigan next week?

NEWS: Indiana's Projected Depth Chart & Injury Updates Against Ohio State | Hoosiers vs Buckeyes

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 23:00:00 GMT

Indiana Football is getting HEALTHY at the perfect time! Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers are preparing for a MASSIVE Top 5 showdown against Ohio State, and Indiana's projected depth chart features some important developments.

On this bonus episode of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins breaks down the projected starters, position battles, injury updates and biggest matchups for Indiana Football against Ryan Day and the Ohio State Buckeyes.

A.J. Harris is back in the conversation at cornerback, and Jacob believes the Penn State transfer could reclaim his starting job opposite Jamari Sharpe. What does that mean for Jaylen Bell and Indiana's secondary as the Hoosiers prepare to face Jeremiah Smith and Julian Sayin?

PLUS: Indiana's defense has NO players listed on Thursday's Big Ten availability report! Can Stephen Daley, Tobi Osunsanmi, Kellan Wyatt and the Hoosiers' defensive front take advantage of Ohio State's offensive-line concerns?

Offensively, Josh Hoover leads an Indiana attack featuring Nick Marsh, Charlie Becker, Turbo Richard and Lee Beebe Jr. Jacob also explains why Trevor Gibbs has emerged as the top tight end and why right tackle Adedamola Ajani could face his toughest assignment yet.

We break down EVERY position group, including the running-back rotation, wide receiver depth, offensive line, linebackers and secondary.

Later, TJ Pittinger of Big Ten Football Addiction joins the show to preview a loaded college football weekend, discuss potential College Football Playoff elimination games, debate ESPN College GameDay's decision to visit Notre Dame vs. BYU, and make three bold upset predictions.

National Analyst Makes BOLD Indiana vs. Ohio State Prediction!

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 18:30:00 GMT

Indiana Football SHOULD BEAT Ohio State by at least a touchdown?! One college football analyst believes the Hoosiers have the advantage heading into Saturday's MASSIVE Top 5 showdown!

Curt Cignetti and Indiana Football are preparing to host Ryan Day and the Ohio State Buckeyes in Bloomington, and Brian Smith of The Portal Podcast believes Indiana has what it takes to win by SEVEN or more points!

On this special Locked On Hoosiers and The Portal crossover, Jacob Goins and Brian Smith break down the biggest matchups, Ohio State's injury concerns, Indiana's improving health and the keys to Saturday's game.

Ohio State's offensive line could be facing a major challenge without Austin Siereveld, while questions remain about the Buckeyes' running back depth and other injured players. Can Julian Sayin withstand the pressure from Indiana's defensive front?

PLUS: Is Ohio State relying TOO MUCH on Jeremiah Smith?

Brian explains why Ohio State must find additional offensive playmakers and how Indiana could take advantage of the Buckeyes' personnel concerns. The guys also discuss Josh Hoover, Indiana's offensive weapons and whether Ohio State's defense is as dominant as it has been in previous seasons.

And what happens AFTER Saturday?

Could a victory put Indiana on the path to an undefeated regular season and a top College Football Playoff seed? What would a second loss mean for Ohio State? And would Indiana's playoff hopes survive a loss to the Buckeyes?

PICKS: Ohio State's REVENGE on Indiana? Michigan DESTROYS Penn State? Oregon & UCLA Cover?

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 10:00:00 GMT

This is a huge Big Ten college football weekend and no game is bigger than #4 Ohio State at #5 Indiana in a rematch of last year's Big Ten Championship game where Indiana won on its way to an undefeated national championship.

Other huge games include Michigan coming off its bye to host Penn State which is fresh off its Whiteout loss to USC. Can you imagine Penn State playing at a smaller crowd at the Big House after setting an attendance record last week of over 114,400 fans at home?

Nebraska suffered a close loss to Indiana at home and now travels to Oregon to face a Ducks team that is unranked for the first time in four years. Oregon quarterback Dante Moore has been ruled out of this game as he continues to recover from a concussion. Meanwhile former Huskers quarterback Dyln Raiola may get to face his former team if Dan Lanning hasn’t benched him for a poor performance vs UCLA last week!

Coach Pat Fitzgerald faces his former team Northwestern as Michigan State plays host. And former Michigan State quarterback Aidan Chiles leads the 25th ranked Wildcats!

At the Rose Bowl an up-and-coming Wisconsin team faces an undefeated UCLA team. Sadly, the Bruins lost their quarterback Nico Iamaleava to a knee injury. Rutgers is at Maryland in a game where both coaches, Greg Schiano and Mike Locksley just need a win. But everything starts tonight with Friday Night Lights as a banged up Washington Huskies team travels to Purdue as the Boilermakers go for their third win in a row!

And finally, we go on the record with our Bold and Fearless Pickskin Picks!

College Football Just Made Its Most CONTROVERSIAL Decision YET?! | How is Indiana Football Impacted?

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Is college football changing FOREVER? And is the expanded College Football Playoff actually BAD for the sport?

On this special Locked On Hoosiers and Locked On Nittany Lions crossover, Jacob Goins joins Zach Seyko to debate the proposed 24-team College Football Playoff and what it could mean for Indiana Football, Penn State, the Big Ten and the future of college football.

Jacob argues that expanding the playoff could destroy what makes college football special. Will regular-season games like Indiana vs. Ohio State lose their significance? Could Big Ten Championship games eventually disappear? And is asking college football players to potentially play 17 games simply too much?

Zach presents the other side, explaining why additional playoff opportunities could benefit teams, fans and conferences across the country.

PLUS: Indiana Football is preparing for a MASSIVE showdown against Ohio State!

Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers are looking to extend their incredible winning streak, and Jacob explains why he believes Indiana can beat Ryan Day and the Buckeyes again.

Can Josh Hoover, Nick Marsh and Charlie Becker challenge Ohio State's defense? Can Indiana pressure Julian Sayin? And does Ohio State have enough offensive weapons beyond Jeremiah Smith?

The guys also preview Penn State vs. Michigan and make predictions for the biggest Big Ten games of the weekend.

BREAKING: Indiana Just Made a GAME-CHANGING Move Before Ohio State This Weekend!

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 15 Oct 2026 18:02:06 GMT

Ohio State has received BAD injury news ahead of Saturday's HUGE showdown against Indiana Football!

Curt Cignetti and the Indiana Hoosiers are preparing to host Ryan Day and the Ohio State Buckeyes in a massive Top 5 matchup, but Ohio State's latest Big Ten availability report includes two important offensive players listed as OUT.

On this bonus episode of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins breaks down the injury news surrounding Ohio State offensive lineman Austin Siereveld and running back Ja'Kobi Jackson. What do these absences mean for Julian Sayin, Jeremiah Smith and the Buckeyes' offense?

Indiana's defensive front could have a major opportunity to pressure Sayin, especially with Ohio State already dealing with offensive-line concerns. Jacob explains why Bryant Haines and the Hoosiers must attack the quarterback, contain the running game and take advantage of the matchup.

PLUS: Indiana Athletics announces a MAJOR five-year jersey patch partnership with Merchants Bank!

The agreement covers all 24 Indiana varsity sports programs, including Indiana Football and Indiana Basketball. Jacob discusses what the deal means for IU's financial future, why college athletics is moving toward more corporate sponsorships and whether the additional revenue is worth changing the traditional look of Indiana uniforms.

ALSO: Khobie Martin has been upgraded to doubtful on Indiana's availability report. Could the Hoosiers be getting closer to having another running back available?

Ohio State Just Received BAD Injury News Ahead of Matchup with Indiana! | FULL GAME PREVIEW

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 15 Oct 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Ohio State KNOWS Indiana Football is dangerous heading into Saturday's massive Top 5 showdown in Bloomington!

Curt Cignetti and the Indiana Hoosiers are preparing to host Ryan Day and the Ohio State Buckeyes in one of the biggest games of the 2026 college football season. But what does the Ohio State side REALLY think about Indiana?

On this special Locked On Hoosiers and Locked On Buckeyes crossover, Jacob Goins joins Matt Fontana and former Ohio State quarterback Justin Zwick to preview the HUGE Big Ten matchup!

Justin Zwick explains why Indiana's defensive line presents a major challenge for Ohio State and quarterback Julian Sayin. Can the Buckeyes protect their quarterback against Bryant Haines' aggressive defense? And can Indiana repeat the defensive success it enjoyed in last year's Big Ten Championship?

PLUS: How does Ohio State stop Nick Marsh and Charlie Becker?

Indiana's explosive wide receiver duo is emerging as one of the best combinations in college football. Jacob breaks down why Josh Hoover has the weapons to challenge Ohio State's defense, while the Buckeyes discuss the importance of Jeremiah Smith and finding additional offensive playmakers.

The guys also discuss Indiana's comeback against Nebraska, Ohio State's performance against Maryland, the matchup between Josh Hoover and Julian Sayin, and the keys to victory for both teams.

Can Turbo Richard and Lee Beebe Jr. establish Indiana's rushing attack? Will Indiana's defensive line disrupt Ohio State's offense? And which team will take control of the Big Ten race?
