Indiana football’s season began with a 23-3 loss to Ohio State on Saturday afternoon.

While not exactly favored to give Ohio State any trouble the game ended up being... interesting. The Hoosiers’ defense, particularly up front, gave the Buckeyes a few headaches with Andre Carter wreaking havoc throughout the game.

But... the offense left a lot to be desired. Indiana alternated between Brendan Sorsby and Tayven Jackson at quarterback as the competition between the two has yet to be resolved.

Here’s everything you need to know about that game:
