The No. 4 Buckeyes snapped No. 5 Indiana's 22-game winning streak, while Fox announcer Gus Johnson drew criticism for his call of the game.
Ohio State beat Indiana 19-15 on Saturday, ending the defending national champion Hoosiers' 22-game winning streak and avenging last year's Big Ten Championship loss to Indiana. The two teams entered as No. 4 and No. 5 in the rankings, setting up one of the weekend's marquee matchups.
Indiana tried to engineer a late comeback but couldn't finish it off this time. Earlier in the game, the Hoosiers' Nico Radicic missed a 55-yard field goal attempt late in the third quarter.
The broadcast itself became its own storyline. Fox tapped Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt to call the Big Noon Saturday game, with Johnson carrying a reputation in Indiana lore for losing his voice while calling the Hoosiers' comeback win over Penn State last November. This time, viewers said Johnson stumbled through key moments of the call rather than rising to meet them, sparking reaction across the college football world about his performance during the broadcast.
Indiana's loss snaps what had been a dominant run for the program, while Ohio State gets a measure of revenge for its championship game defeat. Both teams will look to regroup as the season continues.
