The Indiana Hoosiers are on a mission, seeking to continue their undefeated streak as they face off against Northwestern this Saturday. The Hoosiers, currently 5-0, are ranked No. 23 and are led by first-year coach Curt Cignetti. Despite some early struggles with ball control in their last game against Maryland, the Hoosiers managed to secure a 42-28 victory. Quarterback Kurtis Rourke has been a key player for Indiana, leading the offense with 244 points through five games and throwing for 359 yards against Maryland.
On the other hand, Northwestern is looking to bounce back from a tough loss to Washington and will be without injured rusher Cam Porter. However, Porter is “trending in the right direction” for a return against Indiana. Northwestern coach David Braun acknowledges the challenge in front of them, as they prepare to face a confident and well-performing Indiana team.
The Wildcats will need to contain Indiana’s wide receiver duo of Elijah Sarratt and Omar Cooper Jr., both of whom have been key contributors to the team’s success. Northwestern leads the all-time series against Indiana and will be looking to continue their winning trend. The game promises to be a competitive one as both teams strive for victory.
