COLUMBUS, Ohio – Indiana got off to a strong start in Saturday's game at Ohio State.

After the Hoosiers' defense forced a three and out, the offense took over and went 11 plays down the field for a touchdown. The 70-yard drive included a trio of third-down conversions and was capped off by a two-yard touchdown run by Ty Son Lawton.

Lawton took a direct snap from center and powered through the Ohio State defensive line, giving Indiana an early 7-0 lead.
