Big Ten championship rings won’t be the only hardware on the line when No. 1 Ohio State plays No. 2 Indiana on Saturday night in Indianapolis.

The Heisman Trophy race will likely be decided inside Lucas Oil Stadium as two of the top three favorites for the award, Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin and Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, go head-to-head, giving each of them a chance to make a major final statement to Heisman voters.

Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia currently has the second-best odds to win the award, just behind Mendoza and just ahead of Sayin, but he won’t play this weekend.
