Tonight: Why Indiana Lost to Ohio State—and It Wasn’t Just Hoover
Indiana’s 22-game winning streak is over, and there is plenty to examine beyond one missed throw.
Join Coach Griff tonight, Monday, October 19, at 7:30 PM ET on Hoosier Football Tailgate for “Why Indiana Lost to Ohio State—and It Wasn’t Just Hoover.” Tonight’s focus is teaching: explaining quarterback reads, evaluating the running game, and recognizing the defensive effort that gave Indiana a chance.
What the Film Shows
Josh Hoover’s missed opportunities deserve examination. So do the blocking, offensive design, and coaching decisions that helped shape the outcome.
Coach Griff will break down a third-and-six passing opportunity using multiple angles, examine a stalled short-yardage run, and demonstrate how formations, motion, and complementary plays could present different problems for a defense.
The discussion will also revisit the decision to attempt a 55-yard field goal and the importance of field position in a close game.
PFF Grades: Offensive Line, Quarterback, and Receivers
We’ll review the PFF offensive grades for the offensive line, quarterback, and wide receivers, then connect those evaluations to the film. Run blocking, pass protection, quarterback execution, and receiver contributions will all be part of the discussion.
Giving the Defense Its Due
Indiana’s defense produced important plays that kept the Hoosiers competitive. Tonight’s Video Room will highlight the pressure, coverage, and individual execution behind those moments.
We’ll also review Coach Griff’s offensive, defensive, and kicking-game goals against the actual results, identifying where Indiana met the standard and where it fell short.
Around College Football—and On to Michigan
Our opening Five Things That Matter segment will cover the weekend’s wild upsets, rankings movement, Big Ten results, and other major college football news.
Then we’ll close with a first look at Michigan and the corrections Indiana needs to carry into its next game.
