Indiana's special season ran into a brick wall Saturday afternoon as the fifth-ranked Hoosiers fell 38-15 on the road against No. 2 Ohio State. All week, questions about Indiana's legitimacy as a Big Ten power and a College Football Playoff competitor swirled.

Indiana lost 38-15 to OSU at Ohio Stadium with notable miscues in all three phases. The Buckeyes scored 31 consecutive points after IU scored on its opening possession while holding the Hoosiers to less than 200 yards — they traded touchdowns during the game's final two minutes.
