On this Throwback Thursday we are taking a peek back at Indiana's tough loss against Ohio State. The Indiana Hoosiers have not beat the Ohio State Buckeyes since 1988, but since head coach Kevin Wilson arrived in Bloomington in 2011 the Hoosiers have given the Buckeyes some great battles and 2016 was no different. IU ultimately lost 38-17, but they put a scare into OSU and came out with their heads held high.

This game was not without its head scratching moments though. Indiana left a lot of points on the field and the offensive play calling was absolutely brutal at times. Indiana tried to force Devine Redding and the running game against a defense that was awesome against the run. IU ran the ball 50 times for 99 yards, while basically taking the ball out of Richard Lagow’s hands. Big swings in this game occurred when Indiana failed to come away with touchdowns on two trips inside the 10 and gave up a 91-yard kick return to Paris Campbell right before halftime, which led to an easy Buckeye TD. While there is no shame in losing to Ohio State in The ‘Shoe, this game was ultimately very frustrating for IU fans.
