Sideline assignments have been issued for Ohio State's coaching staff ahead of the Indiana game.

Tight ends coach Keenan Bailey, quarterbacks coach Corey Dennis and defensive coordinator Jim Knowles will be in the booth with a bird's-eye view of the action to help with schematics while all other coaches will be on the sidelines during Ohio State's game against the Hoosiers.

That includes offensive coordinator Brian Hartline, who will give his input on offensive strategies from up close to the game. Also on the sideline will be Justin Frye, Tony Alford, Larry Johnson, Tim Walton and Perry Eliano.

While Kevin Wilson coached from the booth as Ohio State’s offensive coordinator, Day said the Buckeyes wanted Hartline to be able to coach his players on the field and that he thinks Ohio State will get enough information from the press box from Dennis, Bailey and offensive line graduate assistant Mike Sollenne, who will also be up in the booth.

Knowles took to the booth throughout 2022, his first season as the team's defensive coordinator. He'll be the only defensive assistant in the position this year.

Ohio State kicks off against Indiana in Bloomington at 3:30 p.m. Saturday.
