Indiana University defeated Ohio State 34-14 to win the Big Ten Universities Conference Saturday in Rockford, Ill.
The teams battled in a tight contest where Ohio State tried to assert their dominance in the forwards, and Indiana tried burn the Buckeyes on the outside. And this is how the two teams stayed deadlocked, 14-14 at halftime.

The ACRL gets decided in Virginia Tech v Clemson. The same goes for the Ivy League with Dartmouth v Harvard.
Indiana takes on Ohio State in a championship weekend in the BTU Conference that includes final matches for everybody.
IU is undefeated, 6-0 with a points-against average of less than ten points a game. Their offense has been impressive, with try-scorers all over the field, and yet they struggled to score against Wisconsin in last week's semi. They won, sure, but only 20-13.
