No. 3 Buckeyes overcome sluggish showing to extend winning streak over Hoosiers, 23-3

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! Miyan Williams rushed for two touchdowns and the third-ranked Buckeyes overcame an uncharacteristically sluggish start to beat Indiana 23-3, giving McCord his first victory since being named Ohio State’s starter. “But you’ve got to get that first win and any time you’re dealing with a new quarterback, first game on the road, it’s good to get that one.” Indiana lost for the ninth time in 10 games dating to last season, this time with two inexperienced, second-year quarterbacks — Brendan Sorsby, who started, and Tayven Jackson, who will start next weekend — splitting snaps. After Williams capped Ohio State’s opening possession with a 7-yard scoring run, the teams traded field goals to make it 10-3 at halftime. When the Hoosiers won in Columbus, Ohio, in October 1987 then-Buckeyes coach Earle Bruce called the loss “the darkest day I’ve seen in Ohio State football since I’ve been associated with it.” UP NEXT Ohio State: The Buckeyes face Youngtown State in their home opener next Saturday.
