Grumpy Old Buckeye: Nitpicking Ohio State’s 19-15 win at Indiana

Ohio State’s 19-15 victory over defending national champion Indiana on Saturday was a hard-fought win that left more questions than answers for the Buckeyes. The game was marked by costly turnovers and questionable decisions, starting with Ohio State’s early red-zone struggles.

Quarterback Julian Sayin’s performance was particularly shaky, as he missed open receivers, took avoidable sacks, and failed to read the defense, including a baffling third-down pass to a tightly covered Brandon Inniss when Bo Jackson was wide open. The Buckeyes’ offense also suffered from avoidable penalties, including a false start by Carson Hinzmann and an alignment issue on special teams that wiped out a potential punt pin deep in Indiana territory.

Hinzmann’s struggles extended beyond penalties, as he lost his helmet twice and even drew a hold call on a defensive lineman during a run by Jackson, stalling a drive that could have shifted momentum early in the game.
