Despite the turnovers from the Buckeyes defense, they allowed Indiana to get back into the game.

Up 42-21 in the fourth quarter, Indiana quarterback Michael Penix Jr. found David Ellis for a 16-yard touchdown pass to make it a two-score game. Then, Penix hit Ty Fryfogle for a 56-yard touchdown pass and cut the lead down to seven points with 10:26 left in the game.

Indiana couldn’t get that last touchdown to tie and force overtime. The Buckeyes defense made one more stop to seal the game.

Penix finished with 491 passing yards and five touchdown passes.
