The Indiana Hoosiers are set to take on the Washington Huskies in Week 9, with the Hoosiers maintaining an impressive 7-0 record this season. Head coach Curt Cignetti has garnered attention for leading his team to their best start since 1967. Indiana’s high-powered offense has been a key factor in their success, averaging 48.7 points per game. However, the team will be without starting quarterback Kurtis Rourke, who is sidelined due to thumb surgery. Backup QB Tayven Jackson will step in to lead the offense.
On the other side, the Washington Huskies come into this game with a 4-3 record, having recently defeated then-No. 10 Michigan. The team will look to capitalize on Rourke’s absence and the momentum from their previous wins. Veteran quarterback Will Rogers and running back Jonah Coleman will be crucial for the Huskies’ offensive performance.
The matchup between Indiana and Washington is expected to be a close one, with Indiana favored by 6.5 points. The game is set to kick off at noon ET on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.
