Summary
No. 4 Ohio State handed No. 5 Indiana its first loss since December 2024, winning 19-15 in Bloomington and ending the Hoosiers' 22-game winning streak.
A 38-yard fourth-quarter touchdown from Julian Sayin to Jeremiah Smith stretched the lead to 19-7, and Ohio State's defense then denied Indiana on two late possessions.
Sayin had already thrown a first-half touchdown to Bo Jackson but left later in a sling after an 18-yard sack, forcing freshman Luke Fahey into the closing minutes.
Indiana stayed alive with Josh Hoover's 19-yard touchdown pass to Nick Marsh and a two-point conversion, but Marsh's apparent late winner was ruled out of bounds.
The defeat was also Indiana's first home loss in 19 games, while Ohio State overcame two Sayin interceptions and repeated red-zone pressure to beat the reigning national champions.
