Memorial Stadium in Bloomington hasn’t seen a clash like this in… decades, at the least. There’s arguments to be made for a few Old Oaken Bucket matchups, but the stakes there were largely limited to local concerns. Saturday’s game will hold national implications.
No. 5 Indiana vs. No. 5 Ohio State will, barring unforeseen circumstances, prove crucial in the final standings when the Big Ten Championship Game is set. The Hoosiers beat the Buckeyes in last year’s title game, so the latter will be out
for revenge.
Curt Cignetti is looking for a loud, rowdy crowd on Saturday afternoon. Hoosier Nation will look to deliver.
