Lathan Ransom and Kurtis Rourke - The Canadian PressIndiana Hoosiers head coach Curt Cignetti opened his post-game address following his Saturday's 38-15 loss at Ohio State on a philosophical note.
Before a crowd of more than 105,000, the Hoosiers forced an Ohio State three-and-out after the opening kickoff and then scored a touchdown on their first possession to go up 7-0, with quarterback Kurtis Rourke making two clutch third-down throws in the process. Indeed that third-down play became a preview of what was to come each time the Hoosiers faced third-and-long, which was a lot, including one play which produced a strip sack which Ohio State recovered.
Unable to hear Rourke at the line of scrimmage, Indiana had to abandon its normal cadence and go to a silent count, something they'd practiced but never used before in a game this season.
