Quick Summary

Indiana’s 22-game winning streak came to an end on Saturday when they lost to Ohio State 19-15 in Bloomington. The decisive moment occurred late in the game when Indiana had a chance to take the lead but receiver Nick Marsh stepped out of bounds with what would have been a go-ahead touchdown, resulting in a crucial fourth-down incompletion. This error handed Ohio State control and allowed them to secure the win, marking Indiana’s first home loss since November 2023.
