Chief among the takeaways from Indiana football’s 23-3 loss to Ohio State on Saturday was the conservative approach on offense throughout the game.
Indiana crossed midfield on offense three times, coming away with a single field goal. The first occasion was thanks to a 24-yard pass from Tayven Jackson. On the second, Indiana’s drive began on the Hoosiers’ own 42 yard line. Both drives were led by Jackson in the second quarter as Indiana entered halftime down just 10-3.
In the fourth quarter, with Sorsby back in the game, Indiana reached Ohio State’s 36 yard-line after starting on its own 21 before a sack by Caden Curry and ill-fated conversion attempt on 4th and 13 led to a turnover on downs.
