Overview
- Quarterback Fernando Mendoza was named game MVP after a 17-yard touchdown to Elijah Sarratt and a late 33-yard strike to Charlie Becker that helped close out the win.
- Indiana’s defense produced five sacks, an interception and crucial stops, including a replay-overturned fourth-and-1 for Ohio State deep in Hoosiers territory.
- Ohio State’s Jayden Fielding missed a short field goal wide left with 2:48 remaining that would have tied the game.
- Charlie Becker led Indiana with six catches for 126 yards, including a 51-yard third-quarter gain that set up the go-ahead score.
- The victory completes Indiana’s undefeated season at 13-0, snaps a long skid against the Buckeyes, and likely secures a first-round bye at the Rose Bowl once the CFP bracket is revealed.
