Five reason Ohio State will beat Indiana on Saturday in Bloomington

The fourth-ranked Buckeyes travel to face the fifth-ranked Hoosiers in a high-stakes Big Ten rematch. Ohio State enters the contest as a slight betting favorite despite falling to Indiana in last year's conference championship game.

The Buckeyes plan to leverage the playmaking ability of receiver Jeremiah Smith and a passing attack featuring Julian Sayin, Devin McCuin, Brandon Inniss, and Chris Henry Jr. to challenge an Indiana defense that underwent significant personnel turnover following the departure of D'Angelo Ponds.

Ohio State also relies on a secondary that currently leads the nation by limiting opponents to a 53.2 percent completion rate.
