Indiana 5-0 Heading Into Big Ten Road Test
The Indiana Hoosiers are ranked in the top-25 going into this weekend's Indiana vs Northwestern matchup in Illinois. Indiana put up 42 points against Maryland in their last outing, marking the fourth straight game in which they have scored over 40 points. This week, the Hoosiers take on a Northwestern team that is strong on defense. But it shouldn't take much scoring from Indiana to put this game out of reach given how bad Northwestern has been on the offensive side of the ball for much of this college football season.
Can Northwestern Offense Wake Up?
Northwestern is 2-2 going into this week's college football action, having an 0-1 record in conference play in the Big Ten. The Wildcats lost their first conference game of the season last time out, when they managed just five points in a 24-5 loss to the Washington Huskies on the road. If Northwestern wants a shot at handing Indiana its first loss of this season, the Wildcats have to be better offensively, as they have averaged just under 13 points per game against their three FBS opponents so far this year.
Indiana vs Northwestern Best Bet
Laying 14 points is a tough call in a conference like the Big Ten where defense is so much a part of the fabric of the league's identity. But we will do just that with the Indiana Hoosiers in this matchup. This Indiana vs Northwestern game features an offensive mismatch in the favor of the Hoosiers, who should be able to win this game with plenty of margin to remain in the top-25 when this week is in the books.
