Indiana vs Ohio State | Predictions

NCAA Football Free Pick – Saturday, October 9, 2010

vs.

Indiana @ #2 Ohio State – 12:00 PM ET on ESPN

Was Ohio State exposed last week or just asleep? Either way I am sure that the Hoosiers scare of Michigan got their full attention. This Indiana team is one of the few Big Ten teams that can play catchup when it needs to so I don’t expect them to wilt at the Horseshoe. Still, pulling off the upset seems pretty unlikely. The Buckeyes have won and covered in the last 5 in this series and Indiana hasn’t scored more than 14 points in any of those games. I think they will exceed that total this week but it still will not be enough.
