Freshman quarterback Braxton Miller piled up 105 rushing yards on 14 attempts with two rushing TDs and Ohio State's running game clicked once again to demolish Indiana, 34-20, Saturday at Ohio Stadium.

The resurging Buckeyes continued to give their fans reasons to be optimistic as Miller powered again a potent Ohio State's running game to their third straight victory.

Miller, who led the Buckeyes to an upset win over Wisconsin last week, did most of his damage on the ground as he run for 105 yards on 14 attempts and scored two TDs.

The freshman quarterback also threw for 55 yards and one interception for the Buckeyes, who trailed 10-0 in the opening minutes of the match.

Buckeyes running backs Dan Herron and Carlos Hyde scored a TD each, while Indiana's running back Stephen Houston recorded a touchdown in the first quarter.

Hosiers quarterback Tre Roberson went 11-for-21 for 174 yards with one touchdown and one interception.

The freshman signal-caller put the Hosiers in a position to win with his game-tying 34-yard TD pass to wideout Kofi Hughes in the 06:56 mark of the third quarter.

But the Buckeyes responded strong as Miller and Hyde run for a couple TDs, while their defense clobbered Indiana for good in the final quarter.

After a rough start, Ohio State are now on three-game winning streak and improved their record to 6-3 (3-2 Big East).

Indiana, on the other hand, remained winless in Big East play and dropped to 1-9 overall in the season.
