the game
the QB controversey takes another turn this week as Devin Spellman regains the job due to injury.
After Ohio State drove to within scoring range, an interception at our own 3 yard line killed their drive. QB Devin Spellman trotted out onto the field and had his work cut out for him. Starting crisply, Spellman completed a few passes and utilized some tough running by B.J. Konrad to move us outto the 30 yard line. Spellman took quite a hit on a sack and seemed to be shaken up, but continued to play. Overall, the opening drive was a thing of beauty. Going 8 of 10, Spellman lead us downfield 97 yards. Converting on 2 enormous 3rd downs (3rd and 12, and 3rd and 13) he kept the chains moving. He took the ball off-tackle himself fot the 6 yard touchdown! 7-0!
WR Russell Sailer appeared to be seriously injured on the next drive. To make matters worse Ohio State returned the punt 86 yards for a tying touchdown. 7-7. We missed a field goal in the second quarter, and Ohio State would add a 22 yard touchdown to take a 14-7 lead into the locker room.
Rallying around the injury to Russell Sailer, we opened the second half with a perfect 80 yard touchdown drive. Superb passing from Devin Spellman moved us a majority of the way, but B.J. Konrad plunged in from 1 to tie the game at 14.
The rest of the third quarter was mostly uneventful. Ohio State missed two fied goals that would have given them the lead. On our first drive of the fourth quarter, we looked as sharp as we did opening the 3rd.
Devin Spellman led us on a 75 yard drive, culminating on a 2 yard screen pass to B.J. Konrad for the touchdown. 21-14! One posession later Jimmy Parr grabbed a hold of 29 yard Devin Spellman pass for a touchdown, and we took a convincing 28-14 lead. Our defense shut Ohio State down in the second half, and B.J. Konrad would tack on a game-icing touchdown.
Final Score: Indiana 35, Ohio State 14
