Ohio State Defeats Indiana 19-15 to Snap 22-Game Winning Streak
That was uncharacteristic of me. I’ve been thinking a lot about it, and I’m sorry to you and Ohio State,
Indiana wide receiver Charlie Becker told Ohio State head coach Ryan Day after Saturday’s game, according to Joe Nugent of NBC4 Columbus. Indiana and Ohio State played a top-10 matchup in Bloomington on Saturday afternoon, ending in a 19-15 nail-biter that halted the Hoosiers’ 22-game winning streak. Both programs entered the contest ranked in the top 10 of the AP Poll. The loss snapped a dominant run for Indiana, which went undefeated last year and opened this season with six consecutive victories.
Charlie Becker Apologizes to Ryan Day for Prior Championship Chant
The postgame apology from Becker centered on an O-H-F-U chant during last season’s Big Ten Championship Game. In that meeting, Indiana defeated Ohio State 13-10 before the program went on to win its first college football national title. Saturday’s result gave the Buckeyes a measure of revenge in Bloomington, though both teams remain positioned for a potential rematch in this year’s conference title game. That postseason path for Ohio State depends heavily on the health of quarterback Julian Sayin, who is recovering from an injury.
