We start in the first quarter with a pretty, one-handed catch from Ohio State running back J.K. Dobbins. His jump cuts get a lot of pub, but his hands as a receiver are turning more and more heads.

Here's another look at Dobbins' grab. The running back would finish the drive with a one-yard plunge to put Ohio State up 7-3.

Two minutes into the second quarter, Haskins dropped this pretty pass in for Johnnie Dixon. The 39-yard strike gave Ohio State a 14-3 lead on the Hoosiers.

Indiana had fight in them, however. Less than 90 seconds later, quarterback Peyton Ramsey roasted Ohio State cornerback Damon Arnette, finding tight end Peyton Hendershot from 32 yards out to cut the Buckeyes' lead to 14-10.

An Indiana corner blitz forced Haskins into a rare interception on the ensuing possession, giving the Hoosiers the ball again…

…Ramsey made the Buckeyes pay, finding Nick Westbrook for a 19-yard touchdown strike. The score put the Hoosiers up 17-10 on the No. 3 Buckeyes, midway through the second quarter.

The Buckeyes would answer on their next possession, going 75 yards in six plays, capped by this Haskins to Parris Campbell catch and run to give Ohio State the lead again with under five to play in the first half.

Ohio State's defense stepped up on Indiana's next possession with Tuf Borland forcing a Reese Taylor fumble, recovered by Reese Taylor. It was the second-straight week in which Borland forced a key fumble.

Haskins and the Buckeyes capitalized on the turnover. This 7-yard touchdown from Terry McLaurin would give Ohio State a 28-20 halftime lead.

Flashing back to the last time Indiana beat Ohio State, we bring you fan style from 1988.

The Buckeyes didn't waste any time scoring after halftime. Dwayne Haskins finds a wide-open Parris Campbell less than a minute into the third quarter to make it 35-20.

Indiana coach Tom Allen – a defensive coach by trade – was not a fan of his team's coverage on the play.

Indiana would score a touchdown of their own in the third quarter to cut Ohio State's lead to 35-26, but Haskins and McLaurin hooked up again three minutes into the fourth to push the lead to 42-26.

Ohio State fans got a scare following the play when cameras showed Urban Meyer down on the sideline. FOX sideline reporter Bruce Feldman quickly filled everyone in, saying Meyer had been skipping down the sideline on the play and collided with a staffer. Meyer stayed on the sideline and appeared fine after the game.

Haskins got his sixth touchdown of the day – tying the program record held by J.T. Barrett and Kenny Guiton – with this beautiful toss and catch to Ben Victor.

Here's another look at Victor's snag, which would have been good in any level of football.
