What Happened

Indiana will take its 5-0 record to 5-0 Nebraska on Saturday, Oct. 10, for its first true Big Ten road challenge — and the first test of a stretch that continues against Ohio State and Michigan. The Hoosiers arrive after a 47-15 win at Rutgers on Oct. 3 in which they rushed for 336 yards, allowed 60 on the ground, committed no penalties and held the Scarlet Knights to 2-for-14 on third and fourth downs. Nebraska brings a far more productive offense: The Cornhuskers average 44 points and 230 rushing yards per game while allowing 14 points. Curt Cignetti said Monday that Nebraska made a strong impression on film. “Very impressive team on tape,” Cignetti said. “A lot of respect for Coach Rhule, what he's accomplished throughout his career, the kind of person he is, what he represents, and what they put on tape.”

“It’s a Big Ten game on the road against an undefeated team, so it’s a huge challenge,” Cignetti said. “Our guys will be excited to play.”(Josh has not yet commented.)
