Indiana’s Curt Cignetti makes Jeremiah Smith game plan extremely clear for Ohio State tilt

Indiana’s undefeated season (6-0, 3-0 in the Big Ten) hangs in the balance as the Hoosiers prepare to face Ohio State in a high-stakes rivalry clash. Head coach Curt Cignetti has made his defensive strategy clear, focusing on disrupting Ohio State’s star wide receiver Jeremiah Smith—who leads the Buckeyes with 916 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns this season—by targeting quarterback Julian Sayin to limit Smith’s opportunities.

The game carries major implications for the Big Ten title, as both teams sit at 3-0 in conference play and rank in the top five of the AP Top 25. Indiana, the defending national champions, seeks to extend their unbeaten streak, while Ohio State, a 5-1 squad, aims to reclaim its 2024 championship form in a matchup that has produced intense battles in recent years.
