An undefeated opponent rolling into Ohio Stadium in late November to face the Buckeyes is about as big as NCAA college football gets.

So Saturday’s matchup between No. 2-ranked Ohio State and the No. 5 Indiana Hosiers comes with a couple of special distinctions.

It is arguably the biggest football game in Indiana school history, which is saying something when you’re talking about a place that started playing the game 137 years ago.

Indiana, which is one of two undefeated teams in the Big Ten, along with Oregon, hasn’t won the conference since 1967. At 10-0, the Hoosiers appear headed to the 12-team College Football Playoff, although a bad loss at Ohio State is one of the few things that could interfere with that.

It is also arguably the biggest game ever for a quarterback from Canada.

Kurtis Rourke of Oakville, Ont., has gone from a relative unknown in the world of college football to being named a finalist for every postseason award he’s eligible to win, currently sitting with the fourth-best odds to win the Heisman Trophy, and the second-best amongst quarterbacks.

“Indiana football” and “Canadian quarterback” are not terms you usually hear around the November battles for U.S. college football supremacy.

Neither has traditionally been part of the story. In fact, you have to go back 24 years to find the last time a Canadian started an NCAA football........
