Anyone here think IU has a shot to upset OSU?

Would love to see an upset like that! They've been a great "Cinderella story" this year, but who knows how good the B1G is, still, with as bad as UM and PSU seem to be (I think both were pre-season top 10).

Not at all. They will get blown out in fact.
Indiana has not beaten a team with a winning record I do not believe. Their best win was against Penn State or more appropriate 0-4 Penn State.
The dress gets pulled back this week to reveal "stems and berries" instead of "sugar and spice and everything nice"! Indiana get exposed! Impostor!

Even the Big 10 Hype Machine won't touch this!

They aren't trying to put it on prime time - because they know what's about to happen! Can you imagine the big 10 league office if Indiana is the Big 10 east champion? They would all probably jump out a window or something! Then - Northwestern is your west champ! Would make for "watch paint dry over our championship game TV"!
It will be a blow out!

Not disagreeing with you but, Penn State is also OSU's best win, granted OSU did beat the pedos more easily than the hoosiers.

"This is a Noon kickoff for a top 10 game"! The fact it didn't get flexed to a Saturday night prime time game tells it all!
My game score prediction: Ohio State 56 - Indiana 14

IU is not a legit top ten team ...
Huge talent differential between the Hoosiers and Buckeyes ...
Expect a blowout ...

They're a 21 point underdog. And that seems about right. But upsets happen. Oklahoma was a 28 point favorite against K-State, and they crapped the bed (4 turnovers!). Indiana was an underdog against PSU and Michigan and easily covered. In fact, they're 4-0 against the spread.
They have a chance. That's why they're going to play the game. But, I wouldn't bet on them winning outright even though that moneyline bet would be at +710.
This game reminds me of Clemson - Miami. Clemson was favored but Miami had a shot. In the end, the talent gap was just too big to overcome.

Biggest chance for an upset comes from Turnovers...as you said.
More specifically, from Turnovers from inexperienced skill position players.
Ohio St has lots of experience in their skill positions, and IU isn’t exactly the Clemson Tigers ball hawking in their secondary, so I’d put 2 as the Buckeyes’ max in turnovers. Bucks aren’t rushing the ball as well as usual, and the lines aren’t as solid as usual yet, so they won’t dominate the Hoosiers. (Same diagnosis as us.)
Since OSU isn’t going to give the game away, IU will have to earn it. My guess is the Bucks fail to cover but win the game.

When Indiana started creeping up the rankings and T-law missed time with COVID i told a Clemson friend of mine that this is set up perfectly for Indiana to maintain a lead for most of the game and Fields to put the game on his back to win and solidify the Heisman win

Fields will be ( should be but R. Day is a loser ) out the game by the middle of the 3rd qtr against Indiana.
Two separate levels of talent. They have won the games they needed to; but some have been grinds. They have no shot in this contest!

Thus to the point - Fields won't get that Heisman come back win moment you suggested.
