Indiana football hosts Ohio State on Saturday for the most talked about game in Memorial Stadium history. The top-five showdown is a rematch of last year's Big Ten title game that went right down to the wire.
This will be a high-stakes matchup as well.
The No. 4 Hoosiers (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) are one of nine remaining undefeated teams in the country. The No. 5 Buckeyes (5-1, 3-0 Big Ten) are also looking to end IU's 22-game overall win streak and 19-game home winning streak, the longest such streaks in the FBS.
Here's how to watch the IU vs. Ohio State game on Saturday, Oct. 17, including time, TV schedule, and streaming information:

Odds courtesy of BetMGM as of Friday, Oct. 16
Ohio State 24, Indiana 17: Jeremiah Smith, current Heisman frontrunner, will have a chance to bolster his resume on Saturday. The Hoosiers have done a solid job the last two years covering Smith — he doesn't have a receiving touchdown against IU — but this year feels different. He's leveled up, a point Cignetti made earlier this week, and Indiana's defense has struggled some in recent weeks. In a game where little separates the teams, Smith feels like the difference-maker, just as Fernando Mendoza was a year ago.
- Spread: Ohio State -3
- Over/under: 50.5
- Money line: Indiana +125, Ohio State-150
