Indiana also defeated Ohio State 31-10 during the 1987 season, snapping a winless streak against the Buckeyes since 1951. Five of Indiana's win in this series came between 1901-13.

In coach Curt Cignetti's first season, Indiana secured the first 10-win season in program history Saturday with a 20-15 win over Michigan. That was the first time since Week 1 against Florida International that Indiana did not cover the point spread.

The Hoosiers led the Wolverines 17-3 at halftime, but generated just 18 yards of total offense in the second half. However, the defense made stops in critical situations to keep their undefeated season alive.

Ohio State is currently 8-1 overall and 5-1 in Big Ten play. The Buckeyes' lone loss this year came on Oct. 12 at No. 1 Oregon, where they fell 32-31. That gave Ohio State its first and only loss in Big Ten play, a stretch that includes wins over Michigan State, Iowa, Nebraska, Penn State and Purdue.

Most recently, the Buckeyes won 45-0 at home against Purdue. They also beat Akron, Western Michigan and Marshall in nonconference play.
