Analyst gives Ohio State Buckeyes extra motivation against Indiana

This weekend, the Ohio State Buckeyes will face off against the fifth-ranked Indiana Hoosiers, the No. 2 ranked team in the country.

Both teams will likely head to the College Football Playoff. However, they will both be hoping to take a huge step towards achieving that goal with a win this weekend.

Indiana has been one of the best teams in the country all year. Although they are still undefeated, they have yet to play anyone considered an opponent.

The matchup with Ohio State is the ultimate test for the Hoosiers.

Ahead of the big game, CBS Sports analyst Aaron Taylor gave the Buckeyes some extra motivation. He predicted Indiana would eventually beat Ohio State.

“This game won’t be too big for Indiana,” Taylor said. “They believe in themselves and I believe their front seven can give Ohio State’s offensive line everything they want…I think Indiana will win this game. This moment will not be too important for them.”

Of course, the Hoosiers won’t be easy to beat. They have a great defense and an offense that can make big plays. The Buckeyes will have to do their best to win.

That said, Ohio State is the No. 2 team in the country for a reason. They have one of the most talented rosters in college football, and that talent made them an early favorite to win the national championship.

Ryan Day and company have been playing at a very high level lately. On paper they should win this week.

Being picked against is the perfect motivator. This is just additional material to work with.

It will be very interesting to see how both teams line up this week. The Buckeyes need to start strong and put pressure on Indiana early on.

With all that said, fans should buckle up for what could be a very interesting and intense game. Ohio State has the talent to win, but they need to prove once again why they are the favorites for the national championship.
