[u/SLV_SQUEEZE]

Hey OSU fans, take note how Indiana fans aren't flocking to the comments saying "We WouLd'Ve WoN if X Y Z"

[u/progbuck → u/SLV_SQUEEZE]

That's literally the top comment in the post fame thread

[u/SLV_SQUEEZE → u/progbuck]

guess i'm not the only one who observed it.

[u/carbonlifeform22 → u/SLV_SQUEEZE]

flair up

[u/SLV_SQUEEZE → u/carbonlifeform22]

don't cry

[u/packersdynasty]

I hate being a Michigan fan man lol

[u/Ecstatic-Product-411]

22 consecutive wins isn't bad. The team has stuff to work on.

[u/AcePanicBS]

Boomer Sooners & Da Bears still suck as God intended

[u/Camo_golds]

Channel switched to an immediate pick 6. Thought it was a highlight reel lol

[u/Negative-Valyoo]

Yeah… were winning the natty again

[u/ThurstonDrive]

This should never have been this close. 14-21 pt Buckeye victory over Indy. Julian kept you in the game!

[u/Tim_thatporscheguy → u/ThurstonDrive]

And hoover didn't keep OSU in the game?? What a weird comment 

[u/Ok-Sorbet-2715 → u/Tim_thatporscheguy]

Or Becker!? Or the indiana defense?! I don’t know if we deserved to win, at least not in the way it ended.

[u/Difficult-Hat-5439 → u/Tim_thatporscheguy]

At least Hoover showed spurts of hitting dimes, honestly winning a game because a wide open receiver stepped out of bounds feels almost as bad as winning by a phantom second added back on the clock

[u/CommunicationNo8932]

Time for the Michigan hate watch

[u/Desperate_Gift_9366]

Pick Six to Start the next game is wild

[u/br0b1wan]

OK time to head over to the Michigan game thread and make fun of Whittingham.

Kyle Whittingham has no problem wearing wet socks

[u/xXHiseman0101Xx]

Might just need to turn off the TV after that one. Wow!

[u/dogsonbubnutt]

im just happy ohio state won a sickos game for once

[u/SLV_SQUEEZE → u/dogsonbubnutt]

Yea, and OSU always comes away crying about how they would've won if... x y z

Let's see if Indiana fans are as pathethic?

[u/Its_Brutus_Bitch → u/SLV_SQUEEZE]

That’s a lotta shit talking for someone without a flair

[u/Cheesy_Pita_Parker]

I’ve seen my team lose in horrifically excruciating ways, but I can’t imagine losing in a moment like that

[u/Ok-Sorbet-2715 → u/Cheesy_Pita_Parker]

It doesn’t feel good to win on a play like that either

[u/BostonInformer]

What team will all of the Indiana bandwagon fans go to now? Back to Georgia?

[u/packersdynasty]

I could of caught that in bounds. Lucky ohio state

[u/androosh]

I for one am just glad we've finally passed our kicking curse onto another team. After that doink today, we may never miss again.

[u/Lecky_decky → u/androosh]

You just brought the curse back

[u/Mr-Logic101]

Fellas, we might be cooked

[u/CommunicationNo8932 → u/Mr-Logic101]

Hope it’s nothing serious for sayin

[u/kennythecleaner]

That game was hot garbage in the best way possible.

Sickos had a BIG time

[u/ThermosphericRah]

We suck Fire Arthur Smith now If sayin is dead the season is over. Goal is beat scum. Get #9 all the reps to get ready for 2027

[u/RelentlesSoul]

Legit felt like a Jim Tressel game there at the end

[u/Leverage24 → u/RelentlesSoul]

Some people want those days back

[u/LeoFireGod]

I still can’t believe he didn’t even look down to check his feet when he was THAT WIDE OPEN

[u/FloatCopper → u/LeoFireGod]

Me either. He did the same in an early game.

This one hurts.

[u/ThurstonDrive]

Indy's luck runs out. NW, Nebraska. Ohio State. Even a Kyle McCord level performance from Julian gifted to Indy, and you still lost. Haha 😄 Hey Indy!

[u/tokishoki]

GGs, Ohio St. Hell of a fucking game.

We may not have looked great to start the season, but game shows we belong in the top 10.

[u/Goings78 → u/tokishoki]

Most evenly matched game I’ve seen in a long time

[u/Neo-_-_- → u/tokishoki]

Don't really understand what you mean at all when the B1G has won the natty 3 years in a row, last 3 years

[u/Difficult-Hat-5439 → u/Neo-_-_-]

I think both teams drop out of the top 10 after that

[u/twizbuck]

I was expecting us to have to rely on our kicker to win the game. Cuz yknow, sickos and all that.

[u/White_Whale2]

Lost because special teams

[u/packersdynasty → u/White_Whale2]

welcome to my life

[u/jlegg1996 → u/White_Whale2]

First time?

[u/BornWinger]

My god that was close hahaha

[u/Maximum_Emu4774]

Just needed a few more inches, comments my wife

[u/Vegetable_Virus_5410]

IU is the better team. Two missed FG’s, secondary slipped behind Smith on that Hail Mary, and a couple missed throws from Hoover, Marsh being 6 inches too far out.

[u/androosh → u/Vegetable_Virus_5410]

Same could be said for the 6+ passes we should have picked off because they our our defense in the chest/hands. IU offense wasn't good. Both defenses were just really good.

[u/NickyWhit → u/Vegetable_Virus_5410]

New money, obnoxious IU fans can't help themselves... it's almost like, they've never been here before?

[u/dogsonbubnutt → u/Vegetable_Virus_5410]

scoreboard 

[u/Abject-Fruit2593 → u/Vegetable_Virus_5410]

lol

[u/NapoleonTheLittle → u/Vegetable_Virus_5410]

By “better”, do you mean dogshit and embarrassing at the biggest home game in program history

[u/FiveHole23 → u/Vegetable_Virus_5410]

I mean IU lost, so no. Neither team is NC contenders imo

[u/PerformanceOver8822 → u/Vegetable_Virus_5410]

Ahh yess and the crazy Deep ball non DPI calls that killed OSU drives...

[u/Mornings_kill → u/Vegetable_Virus_5410]

19-15 buddy

[u/lmay4 → u/Vegetable_Virus_5410]

Agreed. If this rematch ever happens the hoosiers win. Doubt it does tho cause OSU maybe has one win left this season without Sayin.

[u/jwizzy15 → u/Vegetable_Virus_5410]

It’s honestly pretty sad how far Ohio state has fallen off that we are in a dog fight with Indiana every year

[u/InvestigatorWest5340 → u/Vegetable_Virus_5410]

You couldn’t win at home with the other team’s qb out

[u/BostonInformer → u/Vegetable_Virus_5410]

Way to lose with class

[u/Vegetable_Virus_5410 → u/BostonInformer]

Saying my team is better is losing without class? You’re such a liberal lmfaooo

[u/BostonInformer → u/Vegetable_Virus_5410]

Your team played at home, had multiple opportunities to win but couldn't. They aren't the better team.

[u/mattatattat45]

Sayin out for the year?

[u/Goings78 → u/mattatattat45]

If so St Clair is the guy not the freshman

[u/UnexpectedLizard]

Indiana: this is how it feels when you lose on the last play of the game.

No, I'm not bitter, why do you ask?

[u/BoogerSugarSovereign → u/UnexpectedLizard]

Lol you think this hasn't happened to Indiana football a billion times over?

[u/UnexpectedLizard → u/BoogerSugarSovereign]

Just having little fun, man.

Feels a bit ironic after the way you guys beat us in 2021 and 2025.

We suck so feel free to clown on me if it helps.

[u/FifteenEighty]

I am in disbelief, an amazing and terrible game. I am sick to my stomach but also happy we somehow lucked our way into the win?

[u/br0b1wan → u/FifteenEighty]

We may have lucked our way there but that roughing the passer call against us on the final drive was horrendous.

[u/leather_secretary31]

OSU should drop to like 10 on principle. what a slopper

[u/davyblue1 → u/leather_secretary31]

A win is a win. Top 5 game with evenly matched teams. Both teams are legit and good enough to win the B10 and get to the CFP.

[u/leather_secretary31 → u/davyblue1]

pass what you're smoking

[u/Goings78 → u/leather_secretary31]

Can’t downvote this dbag enough

[u/leather_secretary31 → u/Goings78]

if you think that was a good win and the buckeyes look good idk what to say to you

[u/RelentlesSoul → u/leather_secretary31]

Definitely not a true fan

[u/leather_secretary31 → u/RelentlesSoul]

bro that game sucked ass, f/o

[u/FiveHole23 → u/[deleted]]

Did you even watch the game lol?

[u/Erniecrack → u/[deleted]]

Refs were calling garbage both ways get real.

[u/Double_Iron_2017 → u/[deleted]]

The refs helped Indiana and I’m a neutral

[u/Ilikepie444 → u/Double_Iron_2017]

Well that last play was the most egregious holding I've ever seen so either way they wouldn't have won on that one. Also apparently DPI on #4 is legal now?

[u/AcePanicBS]

Sooners lose by 21 tonight so dont feel too bad

[u/jab1023]

Sicko game for the ages. What even happened?!

[u/Sendittor]

Woooo woooo hard fought victory!

[u/mattatattat45]

Heal up Sayin, might be the win of the year

[u/Neo-_-_-]

only needed 4 yards for a fresh set of downs, that's what you get for playing greedy

[u/TheGoatPurdy → u/Neo-_-_-]

The play was the right call tho. The receiver fucked up

[u/Neo-_-_- → u/TheGoatPurdy]

over shoulder, with a shaky QB day, only needed 4 yards

Yeah, definitely the wrong play call mate. That's greed, and this result is case in point example

[u/alarmed-toe1002]

i wanna be jj when i grow up

[u/meodd8 → u/alarmed-toe1002]

I’m going to hit my late growth spurt and also maybe get a bit more melanin any day now

[u/aggressivemisconduct]

Marsh has some ethics, saw us getting screwed and threw the game

[u/toomanyshoeshelp → u/aggressivemisconduct]

"Getting screwed" as if the whole spot fiasco after the soft RTP didn't happen haha. Just finally equalled out.

[u/SLV_SQUEEZE → u/aggressivemisconduct]

y'all are too goofy, couple of bad calls went OSU's way this game.

[u/Artistic-Ad-646]

GG osu

[u/These-Choice9579]

My asshole is so tight rn

[u/ThurstonDrive]

Hahaha. Hey Indy. JJ keeps his foot inbounds.

[u/TURRRDS → u/ThurstonDrive]

Shut up Cincy

[u/Gabagool-Wiseguy → u/TURRRDS]

Thanks for not saying Cleveland lol.

[u/Gabagool-Wiseguy → u/ThurstonDrive]

Come on acting like Ohio State wasn’t extremely lucky.

[u/phiche3 → u/ThurstonDrive]

You know Indy is the colts, right?

[u/SLV_SQUEEZE → u/ThurstonDrive]

OSU has nothing to brag about on this one.

[u/lmay4 → u/ThurstonDrive]

No one calls the hoosiers Indy, that's a completely different city, Cincinnati.

[u/Super_mando1130]

Ball don’t lie

[u/mc_zodiac_pimp → u/Super_mando1130]

That was ours to have and we fucked it up. God dammit.

[u/jab1023]

I’ve never seen anything like that in my life.

[u/dleatherw → u/jab1023]

Way too much “I’ve never seen X In my life” these last few years. Unprecedented needs to call the F down.

[u/jab1023 → u/dleatherw]

Wil never forget Gus Johnson flipping out for the TD and then hearing the crowd groan. I thought it was a hold or something.

[u/smh_122]

There's been some gut wrenching ways to lose.. This is gonna wind up high on the list

[u/No-Elephant8050 → u/smh_122]

Like having an extra second on the clock

[u/Muhahaha_OMG → u/No-Elephant8050]

Nice..

[u/Possible-Opposite956]

OPEN THE POST GAME THREAD, FOR THE NEXT 3 HOURS UCLA IS #1 IN THE BIG 10. 😭

[u/Lane-Kiffin → u/Possible-Opposite956]

UCLA has a legitimately easy schedule for the rest of the year. 11-1 or 12-0 is actually not insane.

[u/___VIBEZ___]

Wow

[u/superdelegates]

I never understood the saying "it's a game of inches" until now.

[u/NICHIJOU2411]

I don’t feel good at all but a win is a win

[u/donotseekthetreashur]

Ohio State gave every chance to Indiana to win that game. Pretty bad play all around by both teams

[u/Desperate_Gift_9366 → u/donotseekthetreashur]

Seems like both teams didn't want to win. GG

[u/Dash-Fl0w]

Marsh has been so clutch all season, what an unfortunate ending. At least you can bet if we take care of business and get into the playoffs, he won't make that mistake again. GG Ohio St.

[u/FloatCopper → u/Dash-Fl0w]

Hoover sucked much of the game. But at the end, played well enough to win. Ball was thrown early cause of pressure. And still a very good throw,

Marsh needs to catch it for the win.

Sucks.

[u/BoogerSugarSovereign → u/Dash-Fl0w]

Gotta get it back at the B1GCCG 

[u/Caged_Tiger]

I feel so slimey

[u/BG_OHIO]

Well we got a glimpse of our backup. Now can we stfu about Sayin??

[u/JawnWick504 → u/BG_OHIO]

Sayin looked like poo too is the problem lol

[u/BG_OHIO → u/JawnWick504]

I know he had a bad day for sure. Still everyone has their pitchforks out at the drop of a hat.

[u/TheCreed20]

IU could’ve just kicked the go ahead FG there if their Kicker didn’t miss the chip shot

[u/toomanyshoeshelp → u/TheCreed20]

Yep :\

[u/Worth-Frosting-2917 → u/TheCreed20]

Or if Hoover didn't miss the WIDE OPEN guy in the end zone that same drive, they are icing the game.

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

That play is going to haunt him for the rest of his life

[u/MrRabbit- → u/Particular-Way-3805]

naw with theyre probably still a playoff team so it's gonna haunt him for like 10 minutes.

[u/AcePanicBS]

Ima just put this out here for no rzn. Go Pack Go

[u/AnalyzesPornoScripts → u/AcePanicBS]

Stop, the wound is still fresh for this Bear

[u/AcePanicBS → u/AnalyzesPornoScripts]

For Ditka

[u/ribrooks13 → u/AcePanicBS]

How bout dem Cowboys!

[u/AcePanicBS → u/ribrooks13]

We'll see if y'all dem boyz 😝

[u/theblindbandit51]

Hug your IU +2.5 friends (I am one of those friends)

[u/JohnArtemus]

Didn’t really have a dog in the fight. But happy OSU won. Indiana’s fanbase is classless and trashy.

[u/Possible-Opposite956 → u/JohnArtemus]

Usc literally has the nastiest fan base in all of college football. I've never seen any other flairs that only talk shit about other teams. You guys literally don't even come here to talk about usc. You just come and whine about how other teams are classless. Have you ever thought about the fact you're just elitist pricks?

[u/Worth-Frosting-2917 → u/JohnArtemus]

Coming from the fanbase the celebrated dirty hit is pretty hilarious.

[u/FiveHole23 → u/JohnArtemus]

Crazy entitled after 2 good season.

[u/Professional-Push760 → u/JohnArtemus]

From the famously classy usc fans

[u/Tim_thatporscheguy → u/JohnArtemus]

As a neutral, This is about as backwards as possible

[u/randomredditname1232 → u/Tim_thatporscheguy]

As a non-neutral, I agree lol

[u/BostonInformer]

Is Ohio state able to go to the portal for a QB?

[u/Dan20698]

Great teams cover

[u/wresltingandskava]

Win's a Win

[u/cheecheecago]

Any qbs on the NIL waiver wire we can pick up on Monday?

[u/theurge14 → u/cheecheecago]

Will Howard again?

[u/shaybeautyyy]

Us sickos were absolutely fed today

[u/wmiii]

Haunt Indiana with one phrase “Oh no he stepped out”

[u/nbrown7384]

Hoping just a dislocated shoulder 🤞🤞

[u/Trophy_Galore]

Now onto watching Bama vs Ten

[u/Crazy-Armadillo-167 → u/Trophy_Galore]

I cannot right now that was too much

[u/YoYoMavaIous]

I don’t see how anyone can blame it on the throw. Dude had a defender in his face and still delivered a good ball

[u/Downtown-Energy9337]

Indiana get's Nebraska'd by Ohio State Indianaing them.

[u/ea93 → u/Downtown-Energy9337]

Indiana is the Nebraska of Penn States

[u/pillowcheeks3]

We were an inch away from winning and everyone is losing their minds. Good game OSU

[u/ANahNahMoose → u/pillowcheeks3]

Becker was eating our CB's lunches. Could have had 200+ yards if not for overthrows. I think he deserves the JJ treatment next game.

[u/DirtyHoboLifeStyle → u/pillowcheeks3]

Felt like we may have won the battle but lost the war if Julian is out for an extended period. GG Hoosier bro

[u/BigThistyBeast → u/pillowcheeks3]

lol seriously, good game today. People are fragile

[u/CorporateKaiser → u/pillowcheeks3]

Yea good game, super close combat the whole way through, see yall in the CFP ✌️

[u/toomanyshoeshelp → u/CorporateKaiser]

Great game, glad we can compete with you all to the wire. 1-1 now :).

[u/Come0nYouSpurs → u/CorporateKaiser]

Not with Fahey we won't....

[u/GaleofNazareth]

Anywho, ball don't lie. Quack quack

[u/Ipsilateral]

It’s a win but doesn’t feel like it.

[u/ilovedogsandtits → u/Ipsilateral]

You guys would have won 100% with Sayin still in. You got unlucky, we got unlucky. Great game.

[u/MagnaSinne]

Just goes to show this game can be a game of inches… Indy walks with the win if Marsh was 3 inches to the right

[u/General_Killmore]

Wait, I was away from the stream after that Indiana TD. Did that get overturned?

[u/bbcowner12 → u/General_Killmore]

He was out of bounds

[u/mikeydub63 → u/General_Killmore]

It was never turned. It was a no td all the way because his foot was out

[u/SadKey4737 → u/General_Killmore]

He forgot to get a foot down first no need for replay

[u/Desperate_Gift_9366 → u/General_Killmore]

Out of bounds 

[u/Gabagool-Wiseguy → u/General_Killmore]

He caught it but stepped out first.

[u/Tim_thatporscheguy → u/General_Killmore]

Yeah he stepped out after he caught it

[u/88Tyler]

Why does OSU have a 3 star back up qb? Never meet your heroes

[u/DigitalExil3 → u/88Tyler]

Their third string qb is a 5*
Watching Fahey today, no clue how he’s ahead of St. Clair on the depth chart

[u/Fuski__MC → u/88Tyler]

We have a 5 star but hes 3rd on the depth chart

[u/nbrown7384 → u/88Tyler]

Have a 5 star as QB3 who apparently was beat out in practice

[u/88Tyler → u/nbrown7384]

Impressive

[u/nbrown7384 → u/88Tyler]

And he’s a true freshman, 18 years old

[u/adastra142]

IU builds something incredible from the ground up and somehow ppl hate that more than Ohio State. So weird

[u/wcurl8 → u/adastra142]

Their fans are horrible. Source: I live in an Indiana bordering city, work in Indiana.

[u/adastra142 → u/wcurl8]

I’m in Chicago and know many IU fans. Haven’t had that experience

[u/LasixSteroidsAbx → u/adastra142]

Indiana bought a football team from JMU.

[u/Valuable-Command4393 → u/LasixSteroidsAbx]

So did every other significant team in cfb. Welcome to the NIL era

[u/TheCreed20 → u/adastra142]

It is strange but bama Reddit fans especially seem to loathe IU

[u/dancesquared → u/adastra142]

They got too cocky too fast lol

[u/ALotOfIdeas → u/adastra142]

Yeah I don’t get it either

[u/Sythin]

Gg. We need the bye week now

[u/acrodile → u/Sythin]

So do we, brother. GG.

[u/AfterZanakand]

My takeaway from this game is IDK this tells us anything. For the players hope the injuries aren’t too bad
