Ep 793 - Woof - The Ohio State Recap

Indiana failed to put up a fight at home against Ohio State, losing by a huge margin and exhibiting very little positive aspects over the 60 minutes. Few people gave IU a shot going into the game, so the result isn't surprising. But the lack of effort and the continued inability of the offense to consistently do anything worthwhile is surprising, and we talk about that at length. At 2-5 on the season, the 2021 campaign is rapidly slipping into unrecoverable territory. Why have things spiraled so...
