BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP)--Terrelle Pryor threw three touchdown passes and rushed for another score, leading No. 9 Ohio State to a 33-14 victory over Indiana on Saturday night.
The Buckeyes (4-1, 2-0 Big Ten) gave up their first points in nine quarters, but notched their 16th straight Big Ten road win, one short of tying the conference record.
Brandon Saine ran 17 times for 113 yards, a career-high.
The Hoosiers ended Ohio State's scoreless streak early in the second quarter when Ben Chappell hooked up with Tandon Doss on a 7-yard TD pass.
Pryor finished 16 of 27 for 159 yards and rushed 16 times for 63 yards. He heaved a late interception with about six minutes to play in the game, up 33-7.
Ohio State took a 10-0 lead midway through the first quarter, courtesy of Pryor's 5-yard TD pass to Duron Carter.
Indiana closed to 10-7 early on Doss' score, but Pryor needed just three plays to answer. He found DeVier Posey for a 23-yard TD pass to make it 17-7, then closed out the first half scoring with an 8-yard TD pass to Zach Boren.
Pryor sealed it with a 1-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter.
Chappell was 20 of 34 for 210 yards with two interceptions and two touchdowns, the second as time ran out.
