Ohio State survived what appeared to be the go‑ahead score when Nick Marsh’s left foot was ruled out of bounds as the Buckeyes beat Indiana 19‑15 on Saturday.
During a late‑game drive, Indiana’s Nick Marsh caught a pass and appeared to cross into the end zone. The officials reviewed the play and determined that Marsh’s left foot was out of bounds before he touched the ball, negating the touchdown and preventing Indiana from taking the lead.
The ruling came at a critical juncture, preserving Ohio State’s slim advantage and securing the win. The Buckeyes’ victory keeps them in the upper tier of the Big Ten standings, while the loss forces Indiana to reassess its strategy for the remainder of the season.
Both teams will look ahead to their next games, with Ohio State aiming to maintain its position in the conference race and Indiana seeking redemption in future matchups.
