'With all due respect, you played Indiana': How fans reacted to Ohio State's win vs. Indiana

Ohio State's season opener against Indiana was not over, and Maurice Clarett was already voicing his displeasure at what he saw from the Buckeyes.

"I don't see no aggression or physical play," Clarett, the former Ohio State runnin back, wrote on social media. "I'm not solely referring to the play calling. It just doesn't look like anyone is excited out there. No one looks physical. It just doesn't look like we have any arrogance/confidence out there."

In the 2023 season opener, Ohio State recorded its lowest-scoring effort against Indiana in nearly 30 years, beating the Hoosiers 23-3 at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington.

Led by starting quarterback Kyle McCord, Ohio State recorded 380 yards of offense and two touchdowns — both rushing by Miyan Williams.
