COLUMBUS, Ohio – No. 4 Ohio State will travel to No. 5 Indiana for another top five road matcup this season.
Kickoff between the Buckeyes and the Hoosiers is scheduled for noon ET and will air on FOX with streaming on FOX One. This marks the third time this season that Ohio State will play on FOX as the Buckeyes also did so against Kent State in week three and Illinois in week four. The game will also have Big Noon Kickoff on site for the second time this season after they came to the Buckeyes game against Illinois in week four.
This year's game marks the 98th meeting between the Buckeyes and Hoosiers, with Ohio State going 79-13-5 in the series.
In the Ryan Day era, the Buckeyes are 6-1 against the Hoosiers, with Ohio State claiming a 23-3 victory on the road to open their season in 2023. In their last regular season game, the Buckeyes won at home with a score of 38-15 in 2024. A total of 16 returners for Ohio State contributed to the team's last two regular season wins against the Hoosiers.
In the 2024 home win, quarterback Will Howard completed 22 of 26 passes for 201 yards and two receiving touchdowns, while also earning a rushing touchdown of his own. Wide receiver Emeka Egbuka and tight end Jelani Thurman both hauled in a pass from Howard for a touchdown. Treveyon Henderson also contributed to the score with a touchdown after rushing for 68 yards on nine attempts.
The Ohio State defense limited the Indiana offense to two touchdowns by recording 8.0 TFLs, one pass breakup, one quarterback hurry and one fumble recovery.
The only returning Buckeyes to participate in the 2024 game against the Hoosiers were wide receivers Brandon Inniss, Jeremiah Smith and David Adolph, safety Jaylen McClain, cornerback Jermaine Matthews Jr., punter Joe McGuire, linebackers Payton Pierce and Garrett Stover, defensive ends Kenyatta Jackson Jr. and Eddrick Houston, defensive tackle Will Smith Jr. and offensive linemen Carson Hinzman, Austin Siereveld, Joshua Padilla and Luke Montgomery.
