No. 4 Ohio State loses Julian Sayin, but stops No. 5 Indiana's 22-game win streak after Nick Marsh is barely out of bounds on go-ahead TD
Yahoo Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Indiana narrowly missed extending its win streak to 23 games after Nick Marsh was unable to stay in bounds on a potential go-ahead touchdown catch late in the game, resulting in a 19-15 loss to No. 4 Ohio State.
- Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin left the game in the second half with a right arm injury and is expected to be out for several weeks, a significant blow for the Buckeyes as they face tough upcoming opponents.
- Sayin completed 15-of-29 passes for 235 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions before his injury, including the game-winning touchdown pass to Jeremiah Smith.
- Indiana struggled with mistakes, including back-to-back fumbles after a 1,437-play streak without one, and missed field goals by kicker Nico Radicic, which influenced their decision to attempt a risky two-point conversion.
- Despite the loss, Indiana's playoff hopes remain intact with only one ranked opponent left on their schedule; quarterback Josh Hoover also dealt with a shoulder injury but finished with 296 passing yards.
