Ohio State football kicks off its third top-five match-up of the season against the Indiana Hoosiers at Noon ET at home in Columbus, Ohio. No one predicted that this game would be the marquee game of the season back in August, but a few months later and Curt Cignetti has turned Indiana into a powerhouse.
Last week, the Buckeyes were relatively healthy against the Northwestern Wildcats, but this week the injury report has one huge and alarming name listed. Center, Seth McLaughlin, has been playing at an All-Big Ten level and he suffered a season-ending Achilles injury on Tuesday.
This OSU offensive line had been ravaged by the injury bug this season as we saw Donovan Jackson deal with some issues early on and then of course Josh Simmons went down with a season-ending injury against the Oregon Ducks. Hopefully, Ohio State has a plan for all of these injuries on the offensive line. The rest of the availability report is as follows:
Out
WR Nolan Baudo
RB TC Caffey
C Seth McLaughlin
OT Zen Michalski
OT Josh Simmons
WR Reis Stocksdale
