Trivia Answers

1.Can you name the last year Ohio State lost to Indiana?

1988. The Hoosiers rolled the Buckeyes 41-7 in Memorial Stadium. The schools tied in 1990.

2. What is the only decade the Buckeyes had a losing record against the Hoosiers: 1900s, 1910s, or the 1920s?

The Buckeyes finished the 1900s with an 0–4–1 record against their neighbors to the West. Pretty pathetic that 25 percent of Indiana's wins against the Buckeyes came within the first five games of the series.

3. The most points Ohio State scored against Indiana occurred in 1957 and 1983. How many points did the Bucks score? To narrow it down your choices are 55, 56, 57 or 58.

Woody Hayes' traveled to Bloomington and incinerated Indiana 56-0 in '57. Earle Bruce's '83 squad won 56-17 in Ohio Stadium.

4. 1997 was the last time OSU shutout Indiana. How many times has Ohio State blanked the Hoosiers?

The Buckeyes have outscored Indiana 307-0 in the 17 shutouts.
