You have probably heard Lee Corso tell the story about taking a timeout when his team took a 7-6 lead in 1976. What he won't tell you is that Indiana only had 2 passing 1st downs and lost 4 fumbles in the loss. The first downs are a series low, and the lost fumbles are a series high.
The Buckeyes lost 3 fumbles that late October day, but scored a series high 22 points in the 4th quarter as Woody's team won, 47-7.
All of the information below is based on games played in this series between 1960 and 2018. Very short on words, but long on information. Again, these are the top stats between 1960 and 2018.
