Quarterback Braxton Miller rushed for over 100 yards and a pair of touchdowns as Ohio State piled up nearly 350 yards on the ground en route to a 34-20 victory over visiting Indiana on Saturday.

Dan Herron added 141 yards and a score for the Buckeyes (6-3, 3-2 Big Ten), who have won three straight to move over .500 in conference play.

Miller became the first Ohio State quarterback to rush for multiple touchdowns in back-to-back games since Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith in 2005. Miller set another mark in the first quarter when he took off on a draw play and ran 81 yards for a touchdown. It was the longest run by any FBS quarterback this season.

The Hoosiers (1-9, 0-6) kept it surprisingly close, knotting it at 20 when Tre Roberson threw a 34-yard touchdown pass to Kofi Hughes midway through the third quarter.

But Miller ended the third quarter with a 20-yard scoring run on another draw play. Carlos Hyde, the third Buckeye to go over 100 yards rushing on the day, burst in for a 2-yard score early in the fourth to put the game away.

Indiana has lost 16 straight to Ohio State.
