No. 16 Indiana plays host to Nebraska this weekend, and it will try to keep its magical season going. The Hoosiers are looking to make it seven straight wins to start the season, but that won't be easy against the Cornhuskers.
In his first season with the Hoosiers, coach Curt Cignetti has them rolling through their schedule. Indiana is coming off a bye after handling its business against Northwestern, 41-24, a couple of weeks ago. Ohio transfer Kurtis Rourke continues to light it up for the Indiana offense, completing 73.8% of his passes for 1,752 yards, 14 touchdowns and just two interceptions.
This weekend's game against Nebraska will be the toughest test Indiana has faced all season, and it will be fascinating to see how this team handles being in spotlight as the top-15 is well within reach.
The Cornhuskers have also been playing some solid football this season, and they are one win away from reaching a bowl game for the first time since 2016. In order to do that, Nebraska will have to clean some things up after winning a 14-7 rock fight over Rutgers.
Star quarterback Dylan Raiola struggled in that one, completing just 13 of his 27 pass attempts for 134 yards and an interception. That won't get it done agains this Hoosiers squad.
