A depleted defense and lost program momentum means that the Hoosiers should — on paper — pose little threat to Ohio State Saturday.
The wait is over. After an entire offseason of preparation, speculation and build, Ohio State’s first game week is upon the team’s faithful.
Week 1 of college football always seems to have some surprises, though. Here are five things to know about Indiana:The Hoosiers were fresh off a fantastic run – by their standards – during the coronavirus-plagued season of 2020 when they had a 6-2 overall record and made it as high as No. 7 in the AP Poll, their highest ranking since 1967. Head coach Tom Allen had posted back-to-back winning seasons and there was a general buzz about the program.
Indiana has had its own quarterback war. Tayven Jackson, a transfer from Tennessee – and the brother of former Indiana basketball star Trayce-Jackson Davis – and Brendan Sorsby are in competition as redshirt freshmen, with a combined 10 collegiate passes thrown previously between them. Jackson has been the presumed favorite since his move from Knoxville to Bloomington given his pedigree as a four-star prospect ranked 198th overall and 13th at quarterback in the 247Sports composite for the class of 2022. Sorsby fell outside the top 1,000 nationally in the same class.
With top Ohio State cornerback Denzel Burke looking for a resurgent year and the squad’s outermost defenders trying to improve as a whole, Camper will be a good first matchup.If last year is any indication, Brown or McCord or both will get a shot to find their rhythm against Indiana’s defense Saturday.
