Well, that was fun.
The Buckeyes needed just one half to put Indiana into the ground, pummeling the Hoosiers 44-7 in the first half thanks to an offensive explosion and a shutdown performance by the defense.
Ohio State outgained Indiana 334 to 54, scored a touchdown on every single offensive possession, and finished the half with a whopping eight tackles for loss, four of which were sacks.
It was an absolute beatdown, and we know you want to relive the highlights.

But that wasn't all the scoring, courtesy of Marvin Harrison Jr., who has obvious ties to the state of Indiana.
That's @MarvHarrisonJr making the tackle for the safety.

Nor was it all the highlights.
Steele Chambers was out there looking like he didn't start playing collegiate linebacker three months ago.

And C.J. Stroud threw what was probably his best ball of the season.

The Buckeyes will almost certainly play a heavy dose of reserve players in the second half, but that doesn't mean they're done creating highlights.
