As excitement builds for the upcoming Ohio State Buckeyes-Indiana Hoosiers matchup, one of the program’s most celebrated alumni, JK Dobbins, has weighed in with his thoughts. The former Buckeyes running back, now a star in the NFL with the Baltimore Ravens, offered a bold prediction that has fans buzzing.
Speaking on a sports podcast earlier this week, Dobbins didn’t hold back in expressing his confidence in the Buckeyes.
*”I’ve seen what this team is capable of, and I know they’re going to put on a show against Indiana,”* Dobbins said. *”Ohio State is going to dominate on both sides of the ball. I’m predicting a three-touchdown win, at least.”*
Dobbins emphasized the strength of the Buckeyes’ offense and defense, calling the current roster *“hungry and ready to prove themselves.”*
As a former star who rushed for over 2,000 yards during his final season with Ohio State, Dobbins knows what it takes to perform at the highest level in college football. He praised the Buckeyes’ current running back corps, led by TreVeyon Henderson, and expressed excitement about their potential.
*”TreVeyon has the talent to be one of the best backs in the country, and I can’t wait to see him break some big runs against Indiana,”* Dobbins remarked.
Ohio State enters the game with high expectations. Ranked among the top teams in the nation, the Buckeyes are looking to start the season strong as they aim for a Big Ten title and a spot in the College Football Playoff.
Indiana, meanwhile, is considered a significant underdog. While the Hoosiers have shown flashes of promise in recent seasons, they’ll face an uphill battle against a powerhouse like Ohio State.
Buckeyes fans on social media were thrilled to hear Dobbins’ prediction, with many echoing his confidence:
– *“If JK says it, I believe it! Go Bucks!”* wrote one fan on Twitter.
– *“Love seeing our legends still supporting the team. Dobbins knows what’s up!”* another commented.
Others, however, cautioned against underestimating Indiana, noting that anything can happen in college football.
The Buckeyes boast one of the most talented rosters in the nation, with standout players at nearly every position. Key players to watch include quarterback Kyle McCord, wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., and defensive lineman JT Tuimoloau.
Indiana, led by head coach Tom Allen, will look to play spoiler, relying on their defense to slow down Ohio State’s high-powered offense.
Dobbins remains a beloved figure in Buckeye Nation. His prediction is a testament to the pride and loyalty that Ohio State alumni feel for the program.
As the Buckeyes prepare to take the field, fans will hope that Dobbins’ bold prediction comes true—and that Ohio State begins the season with a statement victory over Indiana.
Kickoff is set for Saturday, and all eyes will be on the Buckeyes as they aim to make their mark in the 2024 season opener.
