Indiana Hoosiers and Ohio State Buckeyes collide in a historic Big Ten Championship showdown—could this battle decide both the conference title and the Heisman Trophy winner? Jacob Goins and Jay Stephens break down the first-ever 1 vs. 2 matchup between Indiana and Ohio State, spotlighting the quarterback duel between Heisman frontrunners Fernando Mendoza and Julian Sayin. The conversation heats up over Brian Hartline’s impending departure, the impact on Ohio State’s offense, and why coordinators like Shanahan and Haynes remain pivotal for Indiana.

Key storylines include Indiana’s opportunistic defense facing off against elite Buckeyes receivers Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate, crucial trench battles, and how turnovers could swing the outcome. The hosts debate score predictions, playoff implications, and whether Ryan Day’s steady approach or Curt Cignetti’s football savvy will deliver a Big Ten crown. Who comes out on top and keeps their College Football Playoff hopes alive?
