Loaded Big Ten schedule includes an Ohio State-Indiana matchup of the last two natoinal champions
Indiana hosts Ohio State this Saturday at Memorial Stadium in the first top-five matchup ever held at the venue, featuring the winners of the last two national championships.
Saturday's contest serves as a rematch of last year's Big Ten Championship Game, which Indiana won 13-10 while snapping a 30-game series skid, and the Hoosiers enter with a 22-game winning streak.
Recording 20 sacks in six games, Indiana's defense aims to pressure Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin, who has been sacked 11 times this year while holding opponents to 75.0 rushing yards per game.
Ohio State's offense has scored at least 31 points in every league game, with quarterback Sayin and receiver Jeremiah Smith described as "flat-out unstoppable," while Indiana has scored at least 20 in every 2026 outing.
Indiana coach Curt Cignetti has built the program to a 32-2 record over three years, with Ohio State favored by 3 1/2 points, setting up a matchup that shapes both national title contenders' Big Ten trajectory.
