OHIO STATE GAMEDAY: It’s a bad day to be an Indiana Hoosier

Wake up, everyone. It’s Ohio State game day!

We have endured a long offseason that began promptly with the start of the 2023 calendar, culminating in Ohio State falling short of its ultimate goal with the loss to Georgia in the College Football Playoff. This current crop of Buckeyes will look to return to the promised land and bring home the program’s second national title of the CFP era, and that all starts against Indiana on Saturday afternoon. As they say, the journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step, and the Hoosiers are the first opponent in Ohio State’s way.

Over the past week, our talented group of writers and podcasters have put together preview pieces, analytical breakdowns, and everything in-between.

If you missed out on any of the coverage, we have you... well, covered. Below, each type of story is categorized. If you’re looking for podcasts and previews we’ve done, you can find them; if you’re looking for the betting lines and non-football topics, they are there, too.

Enjoy the day everyone. As always, Go Bucks!
