In this story:

3:28 p.m. – Ohio State defeats Indiana 56-14.

3:08 p.m. – Ohio State goes six plays and 75 yards, concluding in an 8-yard touchdown pass from CJ Stroud to Kamryn Babb. Indiana has now allowed 623 yards of total offense today. OHIO STATE 56, INDIANA 14

2:59 p.m. – Dexter Williams connects with Donaven McCulley on a 19-yard touchdown pass. Solid throw from Williams, who is 6-for-19 for 107 yards and two touchdowns today. OHIO STATE 49, INDIANA 14

2:55 p.m. – Ohio State's Reis Stocksdale muffs the punt, and it's recovered by Bryson Bonds at the Ohio State 18-yard line.

2:48 p.m. – Heck of a run from Ohio State's Xavier Johnson – no, not the Indiana point guard. Johnson started his run to the left, and made a devastating cutback to the right. He reversed his run, again, this time to the left, and broke free for a 71-yard touchdown. OHIO STATE 49, INDIANA 7

2:34 p.m. – Jack Sawyer throws Dexter Williams to the ground on 3rd and 7 for Ohio State's sixth sack of the day. Williams is 0 for his last 7 passes, and Indiana punts again.

2:23 p.m. – CJ Stroud shows great pocket awareness to avoid Brylan Lanier and he nearly takes it to the house, but he's ruled out of bounds way back at the 44-yard line. Stroud connects with Egbuka for a big gain on the next play, and Cade Stover scores his second touchdown of the game. That's a 3-play, 52-yard scoring drive for the Buckeyes. OHIO STATE 42, INDIANA 7

2:18 p.m. – Dexter Williams attempts a back-shoulder throw to Donaven McCulley, but it's knocked away by Ohio State. Solid throw by Williams, but better coverage from Cameron Brown.

2:14 p.m. – CJ Stroud lofts a pass to a wide-open Cade Stover in the end zone. Stover started the play blocking James Head Jr. on the edge, but he released into the end zone and Head kept rushing the passer. No help from the Indiana secondary behind him. OHIO STATE 35, INDIANA 7

2:12 p.m. – Matt Hohlt steps up for a goal-line stop, but he's down after the play and receiving medical attention.

2:09 p.m. – James Evans' punt is blocked and recovered by Ohio State at the 2-yard line. Three Buckeyes broke through the Indiana punt team and swarmed Evans before he could get it off.

2:02 p.m. – Indiana goes for it on 4th and 2, and Williams had Aaron Steinfeldt open for a first down, but Williams' pass floats over his head for an incompletion. A solid first drive out of halftime, but no points to show for it.

1:59 p.m. – Indiana starts the second half with some trickery. Williams handed the ball to Shivers, who tossed it to Emery Simmons going the opposite way for a 44-yard gain. Indiana tries a double revers flea-flicker on the next play, but Williams' pass to Barner falls incomplete.

1:36 p.m. – Williams gets immediately swarmed by the Ohio State pass rush, bringing up 3rd and 18. He takes perhaps an even bigger hit on the next play, and Indiana goes into halftime trailing 28-7.

1:30 p.m. – Solid throw from Williams across the middle to Malachi Holt-Bennett for 28 yards. Williams now 5-for-10 with 88 yards as Indiana approaches the red zone.

1:29 p.m. – Ohio State goes for it on 4th and 1 in the red zone, and Indiana stuffs the fullback dive to Mitch Rossi. Ohio State maybe a little overaggressive there, and credit to the Indiana defense for making a strong stand.

1:25 p.m. – Tiawan Mullen got both hands on Stroud's pass, but can't haul it in as he dives backwards. Not an easy play, but one Mullen should probably make. Stroud hits Marvin Harrison Jr. for a first down on the next play.

1:20 p.m. – Indiana misses an opportunity for a big gain as Williams looked deep for Donaven McCulley. The pass was a touch under thrown and McCulley mistimed the jump, so the case for pass interference isn't too strong. Indiana goes three and out again.

1:14 p.m. – After Indiana's fifth three and out of the day, cornerback Jaylin Williams provided strong coverage to force an Ohio State incompletion and punt.

1:04 p.m. – 48-yard touchdown for Miyan Williams. As soon as he broke past the line of scrimmage, there were no Indiana defenders in sight. Aaron Casey crashed hard, but Williams cut past him and Bryant Fitzgerald misread the running lane. OHIO STATE 28, INDIANA 7

12:59 p.m. – Another three and out for the Indiana offense. Dexter Williams avoids the Buckeyes' pass rush, but he's thrown down short of the first down marker. Ohio State has been all over the Indiana screen game today.

12:54 p.m. – Aaron Casey brings pressure on a delayed blitz on 3rd and 8 to force an under throw from CJ Stroud. With Cam Jones on the sideline, Casey has really taken his game to another level. Indiana takes over on its own 9-yard line.

12:45 p.m. – Tom Allen pulled Connor Bazelak from the game and replaces him with redshirt sophomore Dexter Williams II. Williams picked up 16 yards on the ground on his first play, then hits Andison Coby for a 49-yard gain. The pass to Coby was a bit under thrown – it could have been a touchdown if he it Coby in stride – but based on the way the Hoosiers moved the ball this season, they'll take that all day. Williams threw the ball up to AJ Barner in the end zone, who out-jumped Cameron Brown for a touchdown. OHIO STATE 21, INDIANA 7

12:40 p.m. – Marvin Harrison Jr. burns the Indiana secondary for a 58-yard touchdown on Ohio State's first play of the drive. Harrison beat Jaylin Williams in coverage, and safety Bryant Fitzgerald was late to help out. OHIO STATE 21, INDIANA 0

12:38 p.m. – Indiana's next drive starts with Bazelak dropping the snap, but Josh Henderson falls on it to avoid disaster. Emery Simmons picks up nine yards on the next play, but AJ Barner is immediately hit by three Ohio State defenders to force another Indiana punt.

12:31 p.m. – Stroud hands the ball to Dallan Hayden, who runs off the left tackle and reaches the end zone untouched. Ohio State had Indiana completely sealed off on the edge. OHIO STATE 14, INDIANA 0

12:28 p.m. – Ohio State's Xavier Johnson beats Indiana's outside contain and picks up 34 yards down the sideline. The Buckeyes are approaching the red zone.

12:23 p.m. – Indiana goes three and out again as Bazelak is swallowed by the Ohio State pass rush trying to scramble for the first down. Nothing working for the Indiana offense early on.

12:17 p.m. – Stroud finds a wide-open Emeka Egbuka in the end zone for the game's first touchdown. Stroud under threw Julian Fleming on second down with Tiawan Mullen in coverage, but zipped it right Fleming. OHIO STATE 7, INDIANA 0

12:14 p.m. – Miyan Williams broke through the Indiana front for a 32-yard gain, and he's brought down by Jonathan Haynes with a touchdown-saving tackle.

12:11 p.m. – It's a three and out for Indiana on its first offensive possession of the game. Bazelak hit AJ Barner for a five-yard gain, but he's brought down short of the line to gain. The ball came loose as Ohio State fielded the punt and Indiana's Jaylin Lucas nearly recovered, but the officials rule it Ohio State ball.

12:08 p.m. – James Head Jr. brought the heat on Stroud on third down. Stroud scrambles, but a big hit from Bryant Fitzgerald keeps Stroud short of the chains. Connor Bazelak Bazelak and the Hoosiers take over at the IU 17-yard line. A great first possession from the Indiana defense from a tackling perspective, which has been an area of struggle.

12:04 p.m. – Ohio State runs the opening kickoff our to the 25-yard line, where quarterback CJ Stroud will start the first drive.

11:49 a.m. – Parker Hanna was taking reps with the first-team offense in pregame warmups. I did not see Josh Sales on the field. There's a pretty steady snowfall, so it could be tough to move the ball on offense.

11:00 a.m. – We've made it to the Ohio Stadium press box for today's Noon ET kickoff between Indiana and No. 2 Ohio State. The Hoosiers are on the field for pregame warmups, and Connor Bazelak is taking snaps from Zach Carpenter, as expected. Tom Allen said this week that Bazelak will start. Dexter Williams II and Brendan Sorsby also warming up.
