BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Indiana football team will host the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday, Sept. 14, at Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is set for noon EDT on FOX.
Each week, we will compile quotes and storylines from the past week and preview the upcoming one.
Head Coach Tom Allen
"Looking forward to this match-up, Coach Day in his first year there as head coach. Excellent football coach. I have a lot of respect for him as a person and as a coach and the job that he's already doing. They're typical Ohio State: Very, very big, physical, and explosive on both sides of the football, very dominant up front and have really overwhelmed their first two opponents, very dynamic quarterback in Justin Fields and a lot of playmakers on both sides of the ball in their skill positions."
QB Michael Penix Jr.
"Overall as a team, we did really good. We executed everything we needed to from the game plan. Everybody worked extremely hard. It was a great game and a great team win."
LB Reakwon Jones
"We got our corrections from the past game and we're ready for the next game, we're ready to move on. We're ready to start preparing for the game this weekend. It's the most important game of the season because it's the next game."
OL Simon Stepaniak
"Going into the (EIU) game, we wanted to be the most dominant and physical group on the field and I think we achieved that. We improved our rushing yards, still not where we want it to be, but we're going to learn from it, move on and improve every week."
WR Donavan Hale
"Like Coach Allen says, it's the most important game because it's the next one. We know who's coming to town and we know what we have to do to prepare. We just have to come out on Saturday ready to play."
