  "account": "Ohio State will be without starting running back Ja'Kobi Jackson and offensive lineman Austin Siereveld for their crucial game against Indiana on October 17. Both players were listed as unavailable on the Buckeyes' initial availability report to the Big Ten. Siereveld, a seasoned and versatile offensive lineman, started as left tackle last season and has moved through various positions this year after Phillip Daniels' injury in Week 2. He missed last week's win over Maryland due to illness. Meanwhile, Jackson's absence was surprising, as he had started two consecutive games against the Terrapins, rushing for 76 yards on 14 carries and adding six touchdowns in six games since transferring from Florida. Four other starters are expected to return for the Indiana matchup, including wide receivers Brandon Inniss and Devin McCuin, linebacker Christian Alliegro, and nickel back Jay Timmons. Daniels, the returning starting right tackle, and running back Isaiah West were also not included on the report, while Brock Boyd remains questionable. Joey Kaufman, covering Ohio State football for The Columbus Dispatch, reports that this article is based on The Columbus Dispatch's original coverage of the subject.",
