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.
The majority of the information below is based on games played in this series between 1956 and 2019.
