No. 2 Ohio State dispatched No. 5 Indiana on Saturday and decided to troll Hoosiers coach Curt Cignetti as a result.
If someone had told you a year ago Ohio State would troll Indiana after a win, you might have grimaced a bit.
However, that’s how much the Hoosiers have elevated in the college football world. The Buckeyes now see them as a worthy opponent and a great win for their playoff résumé.
The trolling in question referred to Cignetti’s famous “Google me” quote that the Indiana coach gave during his introductory press conference.
A fake newspaper popped up on the Ohio State jumbotron with the headline of “Buckeyes win??? Google it!”
In any other world, that’s Ohio State punching down on a lesser opponent. In 2024, this is proof that Indiana is officially a football school.
ULTIMATE TROLL from Ohio State after beating No. 5 Indiana 😅🍿
